Good Morning Friends,


I hope you are all have a great day today. Did you get a chance to see the new Cricut explore machine last night?  I missed it.

We had a great weekend  with all the rain. Nice to stay in and get things done.  We were invaded with ants again.  I think we live on top of an ant hill. Two years ago I dealt with the invasion myself, but this time I called the bug guy!!  I probably should have made a post about an ant, but that wasn't the challenge so I 'm doing a non-traditional colors Birthday card  with stripes

All my solid colors are from PTI  vintage cream, craft and Harvest gold with dark chocolate ink and the DP is Carta Bella "Devoted"(I am determined to use this paper pad up) I fussy cut the little hearts out. and then stamped and die cut the larger heart out.  All of the stamps I used are from My Creative Time "100% sweetness".

I hope you like my card

Hi Friends,

It seems like forever, since I have been able to get a BBTB2 challenge done on a Monday.  I would have had it done sooner, but I lost the X-ray. Then I found it. It was on the bottom of my foot -- so I made another one, just FYI.
I hope you are having a great day, I am trying to get organized today-- huh, funny, it always looks worse when you pull everything out until you put it all back together.  My goal is to get it all back together by Sunday, well not all, but I will have  a handle on it.

Here is my fun card. I just love Teddy bear parade (cricut cart). I think this is only the second or third card I have made from this cart. I actually made a bunch of naked bears so they are just waiting to be dressed, which made my card come together pretty easily. The sentiment is from My Creative Time, chunky jar accessories, the DP is from Crate paper.

I gently put the mask on that way if anyone wants to see the bears face it is easy to remove.

Good Morning friends,


Here is a valentine card using  PTI base card stock and the gingham DP is also PTI. The die cut hearts and stamps are from MCT I used Creative inspirations regal red resplendence and angel dust for the glitter

  Here is a close up of the heart. If I make this card again, I will not add the angel dust, because it looks like the red did not stick in the picture, but in person you can see the glitter. I love the little tic tac toe board stamp.

Here is my question for you. Do you have any Valentine traditions- (PG answers only).
I hope you all have a blessed and wonderful day.

Hi Friends,


I kept making cards and projects for the Die Cuttin' Divas only to realize I kept forgetting one of the elements. One time I forgot the old, another time the new, the next time the die cut, Now I got it just right I would call this Goldy locks.

I love this tag I have had the sweet sentiments pad for a couple of weeks ( which I consider new) and I just had to use it.

I punched out 4 different size circles and turned them into hearts I used flowers that I have had for a while from my friend Karen. I used viva pearl pen (gold) and liquid pearl (pink). The keys and the butterfly are from my new MCT die cut, "chunky jar accessories", I used a sheet of free bird paper that I have had for a year or more. The ribbon is from my stash and the crochet thread is antique, which was left to me by my aunt that passed away 7 years ago.  I also used TH distressed ink in antique linen on the banner sentiment and the angels

Good Morning Friends,

I am doing an extra Design team post today for Creative Inspirations Paint.

I painted in all the elements on the page. It was like coloring in a coloring book how fun is that and I love the shimmer of the paints

Here is a sneak peek of the card I made.  I think of summer when I see this card-- Where shall we go?

I hope you liked it. The girl image is from My creative time and the sail boat in the botttom left corner is from  My Creative Time  "you ae here"  stamp set-- stamped in Jennni Bowlin Brown sugar

This was in my mail today. I was pretty excited about it. I won two dies and one really cute stamp set (aren't they all).
Emma, from My Creative Time, packaged it really pretty to. This was perfect timing. My plan was to use Notebook doodles Cricut Imagine cartridge and  color in the shapes. Well this stitched restroom peeps die worked perfect.

THURSDAY-- My Creative Time -CHALLENGE

For this project it is cricutless. Everything was punched or cut by hand. I really enjoy cutting paper by hand, it is very relaxing and meditative for me. My card stock base is Bazzill  basic white, The other paper is DCWV spring Flower shower stack. That is basically it I used dimensional s to pop up the flowers and the MS around the corner punch set- I think it is called effervescent.
I'm entering this into Emma's MCT challenge.
I hope you enjoy. Have a great day.
