Easter Chick Card-Card A Day

Hi you all welcome, today I'm the designer over at Card A Day Blog and the theme is Easter. So I looked through my stash of pre-made cuts so I could do a quick card up and found out I had very little cuts for Easter, but I did find this little Chick:
So this little guy I'm thinking came from one of the create a critter cartridges. I got him and the card base in a swap back in 2012 when I was in alot of cut swap groups on facebook. Now this is a fantastic way to build up a stash of cuts very quickly. One problem is that it can build up and you don't use them then you can have a huge mess. So with that in mind I have started the process of getting them out of their envelopes and into a binder by theme. So if I'm pressed for time I can make a card relatively quickly like this one.
I stamped the top part of the egg with SU: Teeny Tiny Wishes: Happy Easter stamp with memento black tuxedo ink, popped it up with one thickness of foam tape:
added a few sequins and a star sequin to draw i my green and a blue one too. Other than the cardbase the rest of the paper is from my March Counterfeit kit :)
Thanks for stopping by and seeing what I'm up to in my little corner of the world ....

I have entered this into these challenges:

A Little Something Special-Tags

It's a beautiful day here where I'm sitting eating my lunch, sun streaming in. Love seeing the sun out in the winter time it's so bright and beautiful. Brrr it's still cold though. I know Christmas is over, but I don't think I ever shown some of the tags I have made over the past 2 years. So here is some of the ones I made for Christmas 2012
These were all done with various cricut cartridges and will have to do some investigating to find out which ones. There is a large variety of tags on most of the Christmas/Winter cartridges to choose from and the tag gives an extra something special to your gift. You could also use the tag for a sentiment spot on a card too. To me this is the best use of Christmas scraps from all those sweet cards that we make. You all have a good day, I'm going to go and finish up my lunch :)

Spotlight Sunday at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog

Wow! Awesome! and so Humble :) those are the feelings I'm going through today. I have the honor to be one of the 2 designers spotlight today over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog :) and with that honor I make this week on my blog a Cricut only week, anything posted this week will have a cricut cut on it somewhere and to make the honor sweeter I have some blog candy to give away (details at the end of the post). To checkout the post you can see it here at Spotlight Sunday
Faith chose one of my favorite cards I have made:


You can see the post here abut the card: With Heartfelt Sympathy

 With being invited to be the spotlight Sunday guest your asked a few questions:
 So here is a bit about me:

I started scrapbooking in 2007, through some co-workers. I was invited to a crop and the gal that invited me provided my album, protective sheets and rough idea of what I need to do. I fell in love with scrapping then and there. Now my love for cricut came a couple of years later, when I was checking out the local scrapbook store and what she was doing with scrapbooks was so cool and a lot of the stuff came from the cricut machine so I started with the baby bug for Christmas one year, then a few years later the expression and I also have the imagine. Scrapbooking is my first love, but cardmaking is where I use my cricut the most.
My favorite product to use: Oh I use stickles probably the most on cards and I like to try to incorporate velum on scrapbook pages.

My favorite Cricut Cartridge: Oh this is a tough one-it’s got to be a toss-up of Art Philosophy and Elegant Edges, they are both so versatile. But I’ve been using the Artiste quite a bit and for some quick layouts the Art Booking is a fun one too.

Don't miss the project I did for their challenge tomorrow!


Oh yes the blog candy :)

 My Crazy dogs just love the snow! On January 21, 2012 we got 5.25" of snow. Jake the older dark color dog loves to just lay out in the snow, rub in the snow and eat the snow. Now Buddy he is a bit more crazier about the snow. When we shovel snow off the porch, Buddy likes to jump and try to catch the snow in mid-air. So I took this day to get the memory of this on film so while my husband was shovelling I took the pictures and a video. For me to get the complete jump for the page I took clips of pictures of him jumping from the video taken.
It was just a fun filled day in the snow.

Just to say

Hi all and welcome
It is Faith week over at Card A Day Blog and today I'm the designer. My card was very easy to make and with the items already on hand really made it easy.
I started actually with the sentiment, which I came across in the book: Just the Right Words. Sometimes when I'm stumped for a card I investigate the books or magazines I have on hand for a bit of help. This one created the whole outlook of the card.
I seen on a facebook group today a tag that was printed and found out from the girl how she did it. She said to do a word document with the writing in the size you want and print it out.
Then pick your choice of what you want the print to go on (I have these (Stampin up) scallop punch Kraft paper ready in a drawer) use removable adhesive and put the piece to be printed over the computer print, wow it worked! I can see this coming in handy for a lot of things.
Then I chose the pieces that I wanted to use for the card. I knew that I had some stamped motorcycles in a drawer already stamped I got in a swap all I did was color it with Bic fine markers. The card base was a ready made one I found in another drawer (really trying to use up stuff I have on hand).
The swirls around the sentiment was cut from, I think, the Storybook cartridge that I cut out months ago for another card, that it didn't work on then. I thought this would add some nice dimension to the sentiment. The ribbon came from a roll and the background paper I got at Big Lots (cheap, wish I would have picked up another pack of the paper that day). So the background paper was embossed with a cuttlebug folder diamond plate.
This card is fantastic for a male taking a big step in life: Graduation or a new job, maybe in a new state.
This card took less that 2 hours to make cause I already had the items on hand, probably the longest part was deciding what to do for the theme. So if you have a few minutes take out some tools and stamp, or punch or even emboss those scraps and you next card will come together in a snap.
Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a fantastic day!

My Project is a layout I did of when the Grandkids were at our house for their last visit before going back home to South Dakota this past July.
 Tradition at our house and probably most other houses is when we get watermelon there will be a seed spittin contest and if your hit you loss (something like tag). I found out about the tradition shortly after my husband and I met and we got the watermelon and he let it rip. So 19 years later it's still going on and our grand-kids from South Dakota weren't any exception to that tradition. So the last night we had them over for a visit at our house it was watermelon time after dinner. Awe Amber I think she was the first to get hit, LOL. All in fun though..... It was a great way to end a wonderful visit.

Now you must crawl over to Miriam to see what is left on the vine.

Thanks for hopping with us and remember…
Have fun y’all, do the watermelon crawl!

Tigger Birthday Card

Hi All and if your stopping over from Card A Day Blog, welcome. The theme this week is die cuts and when I think of die cuts is either my cricut or my cuttle-bug that I go to for my cuts, this card has both.
This card was made for my grandson Zachy's birthday a couple of weeks ago. Tigger was cut from the cricut, I had gotten him in a swap cause this was one of the cartridges I didn't have. So trades can be good and this one was perfect for this card. The scallop piece behind tigger was die cut from Spellbinders classic scallop oval. The card base was out of a cardstock pack-celebrations. the lettering was from a pack I got at the local Dollar Tree store.
This was the inside of the card with a hand written note on the left hand side of the card. Brought in a piece of the card front to border the inside sentiment.

I love doing cards with die cuts cause it's so fun to see what you can create from paper to turn into a fantastic image.
Thanks for stopping by today and  have a fantastic day....

Happy Mother's Day

This was a fun card to make (repost for Mother's Day) and I would have been proud to give it to my mother for Mother's Day.

The recipe for this A2 card is:
Dry emboss: Cuttlebug Victoria folder, Scallop cut came from Accent Essentials MoM cut came from Jasmine, Picher of flowers came from Country Life. Paper and Cardstock came from The Paper Company: Natural Fashion Colors and My Minds Eye Bella Bella collection and various scraps I had. Glitters is from stickles in yellow and gold.

I wish all the Moms out there in blog land a Happy Mother's Day, hope you all have a great day.

For the Graduate

Hi and welcome to my blog. I am the designer today at the Card A Day Blog and the theme is Graduation. I made this card for a friend's daughter that is graduating this year.

See my friend, home school's her kids and they have the ceremony at the Church where the co-op is held. Because of this there is no school colors so I chose primary colors for the caps and switched up the tassels. The caps were cut from the cricut cartridge Everyday paper dolls @ 3/4". The ribbon border was in my stash and I matted the card with a scrap of black cardstock and dry embossed it with my cuttlebug with the folder: circles to give it a nice textured background. It is a white cardstock base from: The paper company pack of paper. The scallop is a spellbinders die and the stamp is from my collection stamped in SU basic black. The scallop is popped up with 1/16" dots. A sweet card for the graduate. I will add something special to the inside a quote from somewhere not sure of that quite yet. I have the book Saying it with Style and will find something sweet in there and a little something from me. It's a very fast card to put together once all the pieces are cut out and you could make it in the school colors.
Thanks for stopping by today and I wish you a fantastic day!

2 Silhouettes-CADB

Hi all,
I'm the designer today over at Card A Day Blog and want to welcome all to my blog. The theme this past week has been Wedding and I have a few cards that need to be made for weddings this summer so this worked out perfect for me.
Plus I had to do some cards for a swap that I was in so it was a win-win situation all the way around!

The inspiration of this card came for the latest copy of Paper Craft magazine. They were featuring some wedding cards, so it didn't take long to figure out what I wanted to do for the swap and today day at CADB. There a few others that I would like to try too so you just may see them soon.
< This is the inspiration behind this card, there was just something beautiful on the simplicity of the card.


This is what I used to make the card: It's A2 size card the base is tan cardstock from the paper company pack I think desert pack. The background paper is a brown (leather look) rounded on all the corners and came from the DCWV heirloom pack (lovin this pack at the moment!). Gold rickrack for my stash (my husband used to work in textiles I have lots of this type of stash). Silhouettes in black cardstock scraps. Stickles in distressed antique linen. I did notice with the distress stickles not so much of the glitter look, more of a matte look to it.
The 2nd layer of the card is from the same stack pack cut from the Lucy Labels @ 3.5". I used distressed ink: Brushed Corduroy for the edges of the pattern cut to give it more of antique look to it.





I taped the rickrack to the background and slide the ends behind that. The silhouettes  were cut from the heritage cartridge @ 1 3/4" and the & sign at the same height from the Stone Script cartridge.




This will go in the inside of the card and was cut with the cuttlebug and a spellbinder die I think the classic scallop oval. This was an interesting card to make and I did a few things I don't normally do, like inking the edges and the distress stickles (thought this was a great opportunity to find out how it would look).




Thanks for sharing the day with me and if your up for challenges there is just a couple of days left at the Card A Day Blog to enter.

Luck O' the Irish

Hi All and if your stopping by from the Card A day Blog welcome,
The theme this week over at Card A Day Blog is St. Patrick's Day and this is the card I have done for this theme:
This is how I made it:
This is a complete cricut made card even the base was cut from A Child's Year cartridge.


A Child's Year cartridge has a card feature that I decided to use for this card because of the shamrocks border on it. With the cartridges you just never know what your going to get in sizes sometimes. So I tried 4.25" for an A2 size card and the gap on the mat in the picture above is that card. Height was 4.25" but the width is 3 3/8". So when I did fit to page feature. I got a 7" high card with 5 1/4" width. So maybe a 5 1/2" high card will give me a the 4.25" wide card I was looking for at the beginning. I'll try that for the next card I do and let you know what happens. 

The icon feature on this cart doesn't seem to be part of the card feature. I did the hat in 4.25" and that is what I got a 4.25" high. So I did one around 2" for the card.


Cricut has out a wonderful all around holiday cartridge from New Year all the way through Christmas with most of the holidays in between, Celebrate with Flourish. That is where this sentiment came from. I put a piece of dark green cardstock behind the shamrock border to emphasis the border.
Put it all together add some stickles and rhinestones for the bling and the card is complete. I saved the smaller card base for to use for another card. So if you have a cricut and any of the cartridges that hats the card feature, play around with it. Surprising none of them are alike when it comes to the feature. 

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you have a fantastic day!

One for Melissa Pinter

To carry on from yesterday, this card was made for Melissa. Melissa is a very special Mom as we could see in the bio she gave us on Ethan. She sacrifices each day and her family to be with her son. This card is for you Melissa:


 This card was made at the same time as with Ethan's card, so I used the same cartridge for it. The outside of the card was done with Wild Card on pg 47 the phrase and the frame. I'm glad I used this cartridge because after locating the designs I wanted for this card it open up so many possibilities for other things within this cart.. Looking for specialty envelopes it's in there, Looking for frames for you sentiments it's in there, how about a variety of phrases it's in there, even a liner for the envelope and an alphabet. It's a well rounded cartridge that I plan to do more with in upcoming projects. the doily and the bird I received in a cut swap: Renee Benson and you can check out her blog at CraftyPinkNayNay it's from the Cindy Loo cartridge (need to investigate that one more too).
 The inside is out Wild Card cartridge too. Pg 44 phrase and pg 45 Icon: Smiley face which I hand cut the smiley open to give it character. So Melissa I will be getting both cards out in the mail and into your hands soon with alot of prayers in between.
 These 2 pictures are of my dogs Buddy above and Jake below, we finally had a real snow storm yesterday and these were taken while they were having fun in the snow. We got 5.25" of the white stuff and I enjoyed a day home cleaning (not enjoyed but needed done) and perusing the internet for ideas and some genealogy research. Thanks for stopping by and checking on what I've been up to.
Stop back tomorrow and see what new project I started working on, I think it's gonna be a fun week with lots of crafting to do....

Blog Hop for Ethan Pinter

Welcome to Blog Hop for Ethan Pinter. He is a little boy that is very sick. Here is a bio from his mom, Melissa Pinter: My name is Melissa Pinter and I have a 2 year old son name Ethan Pinter who was diagnosed with a rare liver disease called Biliary Atresia att the age of two months old. This is a rare disease because he was not born with Bio Ducts. So Dr. Pintinger and the Akron Children's Team reconstructed them and the procedure was called a Kasi. So at the age of 8 months old Ethan and I were Life flighted to Cincinnati Children's because he had Upper GI bleeds. The only thing that woud help him would be a New liver. Feb 18th 2011 he had recieved a half of another babies liver. This baby saved my son's life and we are so ever so greatful. Ethan and I had waited a total of 9 months for this. We have been seperated from my husband and daughter during that time. Ethan is now 2 years old and is having complications and we are currently living at the Ronald Mcdonald House in Cincinnati till we get him better. He has two crucial virus's that he is currently fighting, they are the EBV Virus and CMV Illuminitis (Fatal Virus- it attacks every organ) .
 Welcome and if you came from Courtney's blog then your at the right place, if not and want to start at the beginning you need to head over to Jenn's blog.
We found out at the beginning of this that Ethan likes Elmo and trucks. Since I had no Elmo cartridge I decided to make him a get well card with a truck on it and on the inside too. The front truck came from Just Because Cards cart. I took the sticker element and cut it for the card. The add the sentiment from a variety of places but all the words came from this cart other than the word flat it came from the Wild Card cart, nice font on that cart.
The inside of the card came from the Just Because cards cartridge too. This truck was the basis of the card. Learned something about the card cartridges that all the elements with the card follow the size of the card. Which at first I didn't know that and when I cut out a wanted 2.5" truck I got a 
The 1st image is at 1" not exactly what I wanted but the next image is right around 2" after I put the size on the cricut at 4.5" (the card size). I guess sometimes you have to think outside of the box when it comes to the cartridges.
Recipe for the card was a variety of scraps, scotch scrapbooker's glue and True Blue sticles
Stop back again tomorrow and check out the card I did for Melissa..


This was a fun card to make and I'm hoping that Ethan enjoys it too. If you would like to send a card to Ethan and his Mom Melissa you can send it to:

Snack Mix Recipe Card

Hi you all I hope your day is going well, mine's not to awful bad. I was thinking of the goals I had made for the blog this year and January will be a tight month for me to try to make something and get it on the blog too. So I thought why not include some of the things I did last year that I never put on the blog to fill in the gaps till I get the hang of preparing each day's blog earlier like a few days before. So here we go:

I have been in a recipe swap with my local scrapbook store (sadly she had to closed, but we still get together at her house). A bunch of us get together and do this swap, this year is the 3rd year, it's been a yummy 2 years. The card I did this past December was White Chocolate Snack Mix:

The theme for December was snacks for the longest time I could not come up with anything that I thought would fit for this, but the Sunday it was due I started perusing the internet and came across this recipe and it looked good (I love white chocolate!) so this was my choice for the swap. Here's what the snack looks like:

Not to bad, a little sweet and a little salty and it mixes up quick, it keeps well too. It took less time to go out and get the goods for and mix it than what it took to the recipe card.
So for the card itself not much to it. 6" X 6" Base (I think I used paper from the Christmas pack that I was working with last month) thought red was good with the holiday in December so I chose that for my base color. The actually recipe is on pink copy paper from Staples done in Microsoft Word 2000 and just hand cut. Snake Mix was printed in the same program on matte photo paper and punched with SU scallop oval. The White Chocolate was cut out of SU vanilla cardstock (I think) and the lettering was done on the gypsy with the gypsy font (I think). Love doing lettering on the gypsy with the weld function it makes it so much easier to use the letters when they are one piece.
I hope you enjoy the recipe and this month recipe is "Baked" theme, I'm thinking of doing something with the word baked in it. For now see you later and have a fantastic day!

CADB-Valentine's Day Card with a sketch

Hi all and welcome back to the Card A Day Blog followers that followed over from the blog. Well the 1st card of the New Year, I am glad to be sharing it with the Card A Day Blog.
It's Valentines Day week at the blog, so this was perfect timing to create a card for my husband.

The card came from a sketch that is the challenge this week at Mojo Monday-The Blog it just seem like a great sketch to do a card with, I think I did a fair job getting close to the sketch:



I made this in mind for my husband to give to him on Valentines Day. After the fantastic Christmas that I had with him the love is overflowing at the moment and what a great time to do a card with all those feelings bubbling up.
What made this such a fun and interesting card to do was the black background paper that I wanted to use. This began as a 12 X 12 piece of scrapbook paper and I wanted the corner of it with all the writing and to have that word  Love emphasized from the paper so I did a fussy cut. Are you familiar with a fussy cut?

Now fussy cut is a term I learned when I was a quilter and it meant to specifically cut an item for what you want it for = fussy cut. So with the large piece of paper I just wanted the corner and fussy cut it to the right size. Boy those quilting tools really came in handy for this.
So now I have my main piece paper and I want to work around the large love in it and still follow the sketch so at this point I'm working piece by piece while measuring the sketch too, to get it all to work:










So here is the recipe for the card:
Cardstock: Red card base-The Paper Co.
Purple cardstock was from a scrap laying on the desk and it just fit with the card
Patterned paper: Black-ATD Occasions & Celebrations pad, Red-I think from DCWV Christmas pack
Stamps: Above Rubies pack received free with a DVD purchase
Ink:SU Basic Black
Punches: SU punch corner small ticket
Purple heart came from a Studio112 pack that I received in a swap
Brad: The red heart Creative Imaginations pack poppedup with (2) 1/8" Glue dots (eksuccess)
Stickles: Xmas Red
Adhesive: ATG & Scotch Scrapbooker's glue, Kokuyo Tape N Roller repositionable for the heart while putting the other elements together before permanently apply it

I have added this card to the following challenges:
Of course MojoMonday it was their sketch used


Give fussy cutting a try if you haven't done it before it is alot of fun to do, till next time....
