I finished the Grillin part of the Grillin' and Chillin' Blog hop,  and today I get to post my entry. Get on over to bugbites if you would like to enter and play along it is a lot of fun and there are a lot of amazing crafters/designers out there. This is my entry the patterned papers are from DCWV.  The images are cut from From My Kitchen. This was fun and easy and I really like it. I waited to post this until today and  am I glad I did.
I was looking through my cricut books last night and I realized I forgot the bug.This morning I got up and made the little guy This was the gingham I was going to use for my original idea, but my ideas change frequently as I  am processing the final design. Have a great memorial day.
Recipe:
5x7 card stock
the Bee is from Kate's ABC's
the bug is fom simply charmed
The cow and the BBQ are from my kithen
the papers are from DCWV
The sentiment is off my computer.

THURSDAY--

Good Morning,

The clouds in the sky were so beautiful yesterday, I  loved being outside. I was lucky to get to the gym also.

I think today I need to tackle the monster that is growing in my art studio. Yes I have been so busy designing that I have not been on top of getting things organized.  This is out of character. 

I'm trying to bond with the CE2 and it is not happening.  I'm using it, but I'm also still using the expression, because I can use it a lot faster. I've actually got them both going at the same time while I'm working on the gypsy.

I have enough  designs to post for the rest of the week.

Does any one know where to get the scrap and tote and the best price on it?????

I'm also entering this in the Birthday Sundaes challenge  the theme is to use 3 CIRCLES

 I call it the leaning tower of cake card. I really didn't want it leaning that far , but those home made dimensional s are really sticky, I don't mind it that far over. The Happy birthday comes from

 The Hello Kitty greetings cartridge. I don't use that one to often. I remember when I first got it. I could not wait to get it and then I made a few cards and that was it.

 I love the smile on this cakes face-- definately a happy birthday cake hope you enjoy.

See you later or tomorrow.

TUESDAY- Challenge BBTB2

Good Morning Everyone,

It is raining again. Last night I had thought of this idea for a design and I thought the challenge was already close, much  to my happiness, it is still open so I put it together real quick, and I'm posting it for BBTB2. This challenge ends real soon. I love the way it turned out even more than I was thinking about it. The design is really for another idea I had which I will probably get done today also because of challenge deadlines.  See you later I will probably be posting quite a bit this week.

I made this TAG for Birthday Sundaes

anything but a card-- I had made a few extra cakes, when I was making mother's birthday card ,so I decided to make it into a tag for this challenge. I really like the Bright cheerful colors I did use stickles and made my own dimensionals or foam tape, what ever you want to call it. I use so much this of this - making my own is pretty economical -- I'll explain with a video either today or tomorrow seems to  work just as well.
The tag is 4 1/2 by 7
the cake is from simply charmed
Happy Birthday is from Birthday Bash
I used a copic marker in green to color the dish
the papers are AC card stock and K& Co

Happy Birthday! MOM-- Today is my mom's birthday this is the card I made for her, I just got off the phone with her and she was getting ready to go to the beauty shop. I sure wish I lived closer so I could be with her today. One of my sisters is flying in tonight to be with her, the other one lives close by, I'm sure she is looking forward to being with them. I'm going to look for a challenge to enter this in-- The only challenge I had in mind when I made it was to make my mom a special and happy card, I think I succeeded. I will be back later with more posting

SATURDAY

Good Morning Everyone,

I don't know if this has happened to you before, I posted my design for a challenge, but forgot to link it up, it was still fun to do, But it was Flaunt it Fridays last week. I'll have to keep on top of myself in the future.
Then, the good news is ---
I WON over at the Creative Cutter Room with this one in a random drawing click  HERE for the link. The prize  April showers cartridge,  which I am very grateful for and it is one I do not have. There were 26 entries. Your chances of winning something are always increased if there are less people entered. That brings me to ---------- There are only 10 entries in the Celebrate The Occasion right now, if you are up for the challenge I'd say give it a try CLICK HERE,  
CTO ends tomorrow at 11:59- Creative cutter Room has a mothers day challenge that ends in 10 days- and no one has entered that one as of this post.

THURSDAY--

This is my submission for Flaunt it Fridays.

I have been trying to keep up with some of the fun challenges that I like to participate in. This one ends in a day. A lot of layering for this image, but it was fun. Once I get the idea, some of the designs are quick, but This one seemed to take a long time think through and finish, even though it looks simple.
