Click here for my GIVEAWAY CLICK HERE for the DL.ART Thankful Thursday #104 challenge ending March 12, 2013
Good Morning again friends,
I love my MOJO Monday's I an so happy when I can get project done for the sketch on Monday and to top it off, I needed to my a birthday card for a friend of mine, whose daughter will be having a birthday on Friday. So I incorporated them together and added the cute bird so it would fit in the Fantabulous cricut challenge.---
I also made my first ever triple bow,I hope it stays tied.
I used Create a Critter 2 for this cute little bird and the imagine enjoy the seasons pattern for the papers
I used the neon pens from Sakura- I think they glow in the dark, I'm not positive maybe you need a black light. I used the my pink stamper sent met set "Boy Crazy" and Versamark onyx black ink.
This morning I did a little visiting visiting friends blogs and found out my friend Sherrie from Sherrie scraps with passion is the guest designer this week over at My Sheri Crafts and my other buddy Jessica, from Cricut after dark, was picked for guest designer next week. Way to go you two. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
On to my card-- I made this for my friend Katie-
This was a super fun card to make. This is my latest imagine pattern cartridge. I really like the papers. It is called Vintage Damask. The poodle is from Summer in Paris
This is an A2 card
I used PTI :vintage cream for the base, AC card stock for the black, The gray on the poodle is coredinations and the pink is DCWV basic stack. I used an EK success punch for the label and the pink ribbon is Offray, the bling is Bazzill
Sentiment: My Pink Stamper- BOY Crazy
Versamark: onyx black ink
I just love designing for Shop Pumpkin Spice. I can not say enough good things about this company. Great quality and great value. They carry the products I like most, Echo Park paper is one of my favorites, but I have a lot of other favorites that in stock now and very popular. Right now, I am on the "All about boys" kick. This paper is so cute, I like almost every piece in the pack. For my project today, I am using 6 different patterns from the pack and the blue solid. I used a cuttlebug embossing folder for the solid paper to give it some dimension.
My card base is a basic cream color and so is the little boy. I used the Paper doll dress up Cricut cartridge to cut out all the elements to make the image of the boy
My sentiment is from My Pink Stamper "Boy Crazy" stamp set. I'm using lemon drop twine from the Twinery
I punched three holes in the orange binder strip to give it the look of a notebook.
All the products I used can be purchased at Shop Pumpkin Spice.

Thank you for joining in on my first ever Blog Hop and 1 year anniversary of my blog DL.ART, which is known as a Blogaversary. It all started when I thought there must be a better way to make cards than always cutting these images out with scissors, my quest for the best pair of scissors ended when I started doing research on die cuts. I could not believe it when the Cricut create came out I had to have it. First I needed to know how to use it.
I came across a funny lady on the internet by the name of Robyn of MY Pink Stamper. Her videos were so funny I laughed so hard, sometimes, but they were also informative. She also had her side kick Karlee (BFF) with her and between the two of them, they made the decision/learning process easy and fun for me.
Six months after I had the create I knew I needed to upgrade to the expression, because with the purchase of the tags, bags boxes and more cartridge. The images were cut too small to be useful on the 6x12 mat.
My next addition was the gypsy-- I don't leave home without it. The imagine and the expression2 came at about the same time. I had ordered the Expression 2 from HSN and a couple days later I saw the Imagine at a price I just could not pass up. I use them all and sometimes, they are going at the same time --- I am surprised I haven't blown a fuse yet.
The latest thing I have ventured into, is the Cricut craft room. I even cut part of my project out and then it stopped --I think there is a software glitch, hopefully by the time you read this post, it will be worked out.
Last year on January 1st, I decided that my goal for the year would be to start a blog and post every day. I did it!!! and then some. Some days I posted more than 3 times, and over the year 2011, I have posted _625__ times. I don't know what got into me
I really was not sure I would be able to keep up with the blog due to trips, the computer mishaps and even with my blog becoming disabled at one point. I have to say this has been a fun year and I value each and everyone of you, not just as followers, but friends. I follow a lot of you and I consider myself your friend. The most exciting part about this blog hop to me is, that this funny Lady that helped me learn to use my Cricut is the main SPONSOR of my blog hop. I am so thrilled. Thank you Robyn-- alias MY PINK STAMPER.
Through out the hop there will be designers, that will have words, that are clues to the project, that you will need, to be able to decipher what the challenge is: you will have until January 6, 11:59 PST to link up, for a chance to win the Sweet tooth boxes cartridge.
You know I love coffee, What better way to say thank you, than to give Thank You Coffee Cards. This card was so super easy. I used imagine more cards (IC) I sized it to 3". I changed the red hearts to pink, pressed auto-fill. The imagine printed and cut 9 of this image from a 12 x12 sheet of Bazzill white card stock and then I just glued them on PTI new leaf card stock. EASY PEASY!
Because I am giving away the sweet tooth boxes cartridge I thought it only fitting to make a project from this super cool cartridge.
Here are all the 2012 New years day projects I did. I hope you like them and thank you for joining in. I truely appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

A surprise My Pink Stamper package valued at $60
You will have until January 6th 11:59 to come back to my blog DL.ART and leave another comment letting me know you have linked up a project for the Cricut sweet tooth cartridge that I am giving away. You will have to link up a new project (made for this challenge) for a chance to win this cartridge..
Be sure and have fun! There are a lot of goodies along the way not mention wonderful inspiration from some awesome designers and bloggy buddies of mine. I could not have done this hop without them or all of you. If you get lost the list is at the bottom of everyone post. You can always start back here or any where you left off.
If reading all of that is too much for you Here is a video of my 1st Blogaversary projects
Farewell 2011, I can not believe how quickly this year has gone by. My goal for this past year was to start a blog and post on it everyday. I felt like a 13 year old with a new diary. What do I write? Who will read it? Do I want any want to read it? Does anyone want to read it?
It certainly took a different turn from what I originally thought it would be.
I pretty much ramble on a lot. My You tube videos are even more of a ramble, but they do get viewed and people have requested more, so I continue on..
I continue on because of all of you, I am encouraged and inspired, by each and everyone of you. I do believe my designs have improved and this has added another layer of interest to my art. Stay tuned next year for more excitement. I'm not sure what next year holds, but the ride sure is enjoyable with all of you along.

I have so much paper and stuff out right now I can just pull one thing from any grouping and make a card in a five minute-- The mess is driving me nuts, but it is so easy to create when it is all out. Our Anniversary is Sunday so I will be taking the day off, but in the mean time I started to make My sweetheart a card and then found a challenge that fits it ( BETTER STILL) Don't most guys like cars? That is the theme of my card.
Personally, I love cars I grew up in Michigan and cars were just a part of my life. Speaking of cars that just arrived from Netflix today. I just love that cartoon. Ok Ok I'm starting to ramble.
In the middle of winter, years ago, I replaced the fuel pump on my mustang, boy was my dad ever proud of me. I did a lot of repairs on that car. I did all my own tune-ups to. Cars have changed quite a bit since then, everything is computerized on the newer cars. These days I usually have paint or alcohol inks on my hands.
This is the inside of my card:
This is an A2 tri-fold card, I used stickles on the brown to give it a look of a plate, like a trophy. The paper is fine linen PTI and chocolate from the paper company
Another NON-Cricut card, it just seems so wrong. The coloring took awhile I used prismacolor pencils. it is an A2 card on PTI dark Chocolate- I'm thinking the Paper trey Ink order will be here tomorrow. I ordered some of the fall patterned paper, I'm really looking forward to see what it is like. The green is stamping up,
lucky limeade. The Roar comes from My Pink Stamper Boy crazy stamp set
