Easter Layout

Hi Everyone ~ WOW! I haven't posted in a while, guess I have been busy. LOL!  I truly hope all of you are having a fabulous crafty weekend. I have been working on a baby album and today I was working on the the April/Easter Layout. I think it turned out really cute. I used the Designers Calendar Cartridge for the April and Easter. Love, Love that cartridge. I recently got the Spring Holiday Cards Cartridge and used it for the photo mats. It has lots of cuts that can be used for photo mats. I also used a Stampin'Up stamp set Every Bunny, it is sooooo adorable. I colored the stamped images with my Stampin'Up markers. I just love all of my Stampin'Up products, I get them from my amazingly creative and wonderful friend Norma at Pink Bling Crafter.  I am also entering this layout in Emma's challenge at  My Creative Time Challenge. Emma is so creative and she has such wonderful products. I haven't entered a project in a challenge in a very long time. I am also entering this project in Paula's Wacky Wednesday #68 Challenge at More Than Favors. Love her blog, there is always wonderful projects there. Sorry the layouts aren't very clear not sure what was going on with my camera. Here is my project.

Hope you all like the close ups of the stamps, they are just so cute, I couldn't resist. LOL!!!

Happy Crafting!!!!!

Die Cuttin Divas' Color Challenge

Hi Everyone ~ Today I am a guest designer at Die Cuttin' Diva's. The challenge is a color challenge. The colors are green, yellow, white and black.  What I made for the challenge was a project that is going to be put in a frame.  The saying on the project is one I saw a long time ago and I really liked it and until now I wasn't sure how I was going to use it. This is the project I came up with for the saying.

The background is a greenish paper with speckles throughout it and the size is 6 x 6.  The Cricut Cartridges I used are the following:

Jasmine for the font

Create a Critter for the little bee with the bigger head 

Give a Hoot for the smaller headed bee

Walk in My Garden for the beehive

Paper Pups for the clouds

The bees are so cute. Don't you think?

A big thanks to the Die Cuttin' Divas' for having me as a guest designer.  Be sure to stop by the Die Cuttin' Divas'  and see all of the other great projects.

Happy Crafting!!!!!!

Happy Crafting!!!!!

Hi Everyone ~ Hope all is well in your world. I was so fortunate to be able to meet and spend some time with some ladies that I meet through their blogs. I had a wonderful time crafting with Norma at pinkblingcrafter and Patty at creativediva. Norma was the perfect host, she had 5 projects for us to do and she made us the most yummy cake and some wonderful coffee. We had a blast putting the project together. Norma also made both Patty and myself cute little gift boxes. Norma and Patty are so sweet and wonderful and I am truly grateful to have them in my life. They both inspire me everyday to keep my crafting mojo going. I also had the pleasure of meeting Olga from threebutterflykisses. I can't believe I was so fortunate to be able to meet my fellow bloggers. I hope to be able to spend more time with them and someday meet more of my blogger friends.
Here are the projects we did and the beautiful gift box.

I made a second drawer card for my nieces Baby Shower. Both of them came out so darn cute. 

All of the card and gift box were made from StampinUP products. Be sure to stop by Norma's blog pinkblingcrafter to check out StampinUp products. You will love them.

Be sure to stop by Norma's, Patty's and Olga's blog and leave them some love.

Happy Crafting!!!!!!

Baby Altoid Tin

Hi Everyone ~ I can't believe how long it has been since I posted anything. Hope all of you are have are enjoying 2012, I know I am. I have been trying to do some crafting for myself and of course I have been finishing up all of my orders. In fact I have gotten more. Here is one of the orders that I finished. It is a altered altoid tin. The order was for a Baby tin in shades of green since they don't know the gender of the baby. I used all kinds of products, way to many to list, I am sure all of you can figure out what most of them are since we love them all. LOL! When I gave it to the person that ordered it, she loved it so much she ordered 2 more. YAY!!  Hope you all like it.

Happy Crafting!!!!

Happy New Year and a Frog and Hello Kitty Mini

Hi Everyone ~ Hope you all had a Happy! Happy! New Year! As promise here are two of the orders I had from the craft fair and more to come. The ladies that ordered the frog mini and the Hello Kitty mini wanted them for their Secret Santa. You should of seen the looks on the recipients faces when they opened their gifts. They were so surprised and loved them.
Here is the frog, he is so darn cute. I had to make one for myself. LOL!!!!!!

The frog is made from Create a Critter cart and I did the size on my Gypsy. I just love my gypsy.

I used scraps of paper that I had, so sorry I can't tell you exactly who the paper is made by. I used cereal boxes in between to give the mini strength. The belly of the frog is what holds the photos and journaling spots. Before I wrapped the frog up I put an eyelet in the far end of the left cheek and a ring with lots of green and pink ribbons.

On the the Hello Kitty mini!

The Hello Kitty was made with the Hello Kitty cart and my gypsy. Cute! Cute!

The stem of the flower is what holds the photos and journaling spots. I put an eyelet on the left corner of the the ear and a ring with lots of pink ribbon. The recipient of this mini is a major Hello Kitty fan. She loved it.

It was so awesome that I could use all of my scraps to make both mini's. I hate wasting paper or anything for that matter.

I guess I could enter these in challenges but I have looked to see which ones they could be entered in to. Maybe that will be something I work on in the year 2012!!! LOL! Hope you enjoy the mini's.

Happy Crafting!!!!!
