Dancing in the rain....

I cut out the rainbows some time ago and I finally am using a couple of them this week!  i thought this was perfect for this challenge!  I used the little "Canary Love".  I think she is too cute!!!  It's all about the rainbows after the rain and the flowers!  I made this an easel card!  Anyway, thanks for popping in!!

Everyday is a Journey

Our theme for Pattie's Creations Design Challenge #36 is EMBOSSING Any type of embossing, whether it be with embossing folders, or wet embossing is fine. Stop on over to Pattie's ETSY Shop and have a look at her many images. Don't forget to check out the Freebies at the Challenge Site. The challenge starts now and ends Thursday, February 9th at 1PM.  I used the clock from Pattie's ETSY shop.  I also used my cuttlebug for the embossing on the mat - some flourishes - and a sentiment with an old Chevy!  This card is for a client who is a Chevrolet junkie!  He has a warehouse with 40 old Chevrolets - only Chevrolets!  Fun stuff, eh?  It's amazing!  When I gave him the card - he recognized the old Chevy on front (honestly - I just thought it was an old car).  He knew exactly what make and model - LOL!!  Not me!! Anyway. come have fun with us!!

I so had fun with this one!  This week at Lollipop Crafts....the challenge is "recycle".  I always use pop tops, beer caps, ribbons - this time - I thought I'd change it up a bit and use a charm from my daughter's necklace that she broke - I'll be honest - it's been sitting in my craft room for over a year!  I just didn't have the heart to throw it away.  Well, today I'm glad I didn't throw it away!  I had the pop top out but then saw the charm!  It was the aha moment!  So...I made my little cat from my Cricut and Create a Critter - the face of course is from Peachy Keen stamps (medium critters) and the border from Fiskars!  I am happy with it - now run over to Lollipop Crafts and check out what's being recycled!  The design team is totally rockin' it this week (and every week actually - LOL)!!

Relax

When i think of coastal - I think "relax"!  As a matter of fact, my bestie and I are planning our weekend right now - and we're thinking "relax at the coast".  I used my Meljens image from Whimsy Stamps.
They have such a great variety!  Go check 'em out!  This sock monkey is off to the beach!  Well, looks more like a deserted island!  That works!  It would be relaxing to be by yourself!  Those of us with kids appreciate our "alone" tiime!  it's not too often!  Anyway- I cut the waves and the tree on my cricut - the sand/island was freehand!  I cut the clouds also on the cricut and then used my Stampin up ballet blue ink to make the sky over the masking of the clouds!  Too cool, eh??  Anyway- thanks for popping in - I'm happy with the way he came out!

Fun Rain?

Is this the cutest little guy - he sure doesn't wanna get wet - with his umbrella - I don't know if you noticed though - no one is holding the umbrella?!?!?  I guess little green monsters don't need no stinkin' hands!!  They have that mental thing!!  LOL  Well, I like the colors and I went a little punch crazy!  I thought I'd make the sketch a little different in that I used punched strips for the separation not the other way around - trying to keep things a little "fresh".  I do hope you enjoy my little guy!!!

Happy Lamby Bday!

Fantabulous Cricut and Cooking with Cricut - both combined - birthday and a lamb!  Simple a little Peachy Keen face and some border and voile!  Simple - makes me think of Pink Stamper's Cards!

Blingy Bunny!

Well, the challenge was "bling"....so I decided to make my bunny blingy for the Peachy Keen challenge and the bunny in lieu of the birthday bash bunny!  I don't have that cart - though I would so love to ..... I don't!  It's "on the list".  Anyway-I cut out the bunny and his friend the carrot and decided to put a face on the carrot.  The sentiment inside says "Easter Greetings" and on the outside - simply "eggs".  That's a big part of the tradition at our house.  Unfortunately, our kids are all getting older - our youngest is gonna be 10 in June!  Not much of a baby - but....what memories, we have made with the "bunny" and "eggs".  It's not the reason for the season but it's what brings out the child in all of us!  Hope you enjoy my card.

My funny Valentine!

This was a fun challenge - I love the peachy keen faces - they are such a blast to work with!  I saw someone else use the whale couple and thought- I can do that with my twist to it!  It's supposed to be use - xoxo!  Well, again - simple, eh?  I used the negative from a couple of other cuts/cards and added them to my whales and stuck em on a cuttlebug sheet a little this, a little that --- another Valentines Card!

Make It Rain!

The challenge is - make some rain!  Sounds simple, eh??  Well, at Digi's With Attitude! has a challenge for you -make it rain!  Sounds simple enough - but how would you go about doing it??  I decided I would cut the rain and the puddle from my cricut- then I used diamond glaze.  I thought I'd add them to her umbrella and have a little splashing - Well....it's your turn...how will you make rain?  Show us your rain - www.digiswithattitude.com.  You may want to grab a digi from the store.  Either way - give it a go and show us what you got!!  You may win a prize, if not - the least is - you'll try a new technique or discover a new favorite digi.  Have fun!!!
