FEBRUARY 16, 2012***THURSDAY****CARRI'S BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP

Hi Everyone,


Welcome to Carri's birthday blog hop.

You should have arrived here from Cely's and if not you can always start back at the beginning at Georgiana or continue on from here the choice is yours. We just want you to join the party and have some fun and maybe you will win along the way.

My friend Carri is having a Birthday today, isn't that great? I am so thrilled to be part of this celebration she is such a wonderful, caring and helpful person. I just love her to pieces.

I was stumped as to what to make because I have so many projects going on I wanted to do something that was easy, but because it was Carri's Birthday I wanted it to be something special. I have been working on this for a couple of weeks. I love the way the way it came. It was easy it just took a lot of time. It is one of those projects that you can work a little here and a little there and evetually you are done.

I used Flower shoppe and I cut everything at 3". I used stickles in the middle of each flower to give it some bling. I named the piece, because the flower in the middle is different and special compared to all the others. I printed the paper for that one, from Vintage papers (IC).

                                        " Happy Birthday, You are Unique" 




It was so much fun and so relaxing I actually almost fell asleep while working on it. I hope you like it.Check out everyone on the lists designs, for Carri's birthday. I put the list there in case you get lost.

Recipe for the above design:
I used vintage cream to color the plain white paper Bazzill that I cut out from  the sweet tooth boxes cartridge, the takeout box
this is all one piece cut at 10.6 which gives a box the size of  2.75 high and about 2.25 square at the bottom gradually increasing in size at the top.

I love to read your comments. Big Hugs, DIANA L.

MONDAY- AFTERNOON-- -Again another challenge.

Here is this sketch this week from MOJO Mondays.

I have not entered this challenge in a while i thought I needed to exercise my sketch challenge skills, plus I just love this new cartridge so I wanted to work with it a bit more. I needed more scraps for my ATC's. I am really looking forward to getting this show hung so I can throw all these scarps out. The problem is if I throw them out now I may just need one little piece to make it work. Oh my about 2 more weeeks it is sneaking up on me. Another challenge finished, I will geet dinner going eat and then I will be back to visit you all. Oh the buttons from The  little red cottage. I won those over at Frosted Designs a few months ago
Big hugs DIANA

MONDAY--AGAIN and some challenges

This was so fun!!!! I was so excited that BBTB2 (Click Here) had a challenge using the mouse from the Meow cartridge.  Do you remember I just got this cartridge when I was in MI.? So this is the first time I have used it. Also My Craft Spot had a challenge to use a flower and this was the first time I used Flower Shoppe. I love it. This is also the first time I used this imagine cartridge for the vintage papers. Fantabulous cricut  (Click Here)has a challenge going for a Thank you card.  My Sheri Crafts also has a challenge which I am linking to, with a theme of Thankful or Thanksgiving.
Thank you with Circles was another challenge over at Die Cut Dreams, those ears look pretty round to me, so this qualifies..
Everything was printed from the Cricut cartridges except the Card stock is smokey gray from PTI
So I am entering this in all three challenges.
I used Jenni Bowlin brown sugar ink and the sentiment is inkadinkadoo.
