Eat, Drink and be Scary

Think - Buttons and Fibers - Can you tell where mine are??  Yup - i tied the fibers through the buttons in the front rickety picket fence!  I love Stamp Fairy and this little wizard is no exception.  I decided to do a side step card found here - Splitcoaststampers Side Step Tutorial.  I always like to attach the tutorials just in case someone hasn't done it before!  I added the scary tree from my cricut and the fence - both from Paper Doll dress up!   The sentiment is from Digital Delights!  Simple but way to fun - Thanks for popping in to check out my Buttons and Fibers!

Boo!

This was just a blast to make - I cut a box for a Halloween treat on my Cricut and used the Christian image from Simply Betty images - I just love her work! The new challenges are a Halloween treat box/bag and make something Halloweeney!!?!?   There are some new ones just come out and I love every one of them.  This was in my stash so I thought I'd use it!  I cut the little hat from my cricut also.  This pizza box was just so simple - especially on the cricut! So....starting to get ready for Halloween now - last year I made 50 bags - this year - hmmmmm.....maybe some boxes and bags - well, it's on and thanks to Betty - I'm getting started!!!!!!

Grand Slam!

Another Peachy Keen challenge along with the baseball theme from Bitten by the Bug 2.  I thought what the heck - combine them - I love the peachy keen faces and I love my cricut!  This is fairly simple but I'm happy with how it came out - the diamond is from Sportsmania, the guy is from Paperdolls (one of my all time favs and a must have).  The grass from Fiskars and that's it!

Here's the sketch from Peachy :

Wow!!  Can you believe it???  It's that time again - another new release from Digital Delights.  It's a whole set of farm guys, animals, paper and sentiments!  You've just gotta check 'em out!  I made a "side stepper card".  I thought it would be easier and more fun to display all the elements that way!  I used the farm paper on the long section behind Petey and I cut a fence from my Cricut cart - Paper Doll Dress Up!  The grass is from fiskars punch and the letters DCWV.  Too fun!  I hope you'll go over and check out the new releases and check out what freebie we may have!  Now come on and join us and go over and check out the mojo going on - Delightful Challenges.

Which came First - the chicken or the Cow??

This is the freebie from Sew Many Cards .  I thought I'd make the card!  I joined the team the same day these came out and didn't get a chance to use my cow with his bud - Chickie!  Anyway- I cut out a barn from my cricut and Paper Doll Dress Up (man I use that cartridge a lot!) The grass is in 3 colors from my fiskars punch and friends is also cut from the cricut!  I hope you like them - I think they are the cutest of buds!  Now go check out Sew Many Cards because - you know what - they're giving away another digi!  or....you could purchase this one!  Wouldn't that be fun!  Now off with you and go check them out and make sure you come back on Friday - I have some more Sew Many Cards!

Bingo!

I just love the game of Bingo - as a matter of fact, we haven't played in quite some time.  In fact, I remember - it was 3 years ago night before Easter at my Mom's house!  We were decorating eggs and I always bring something for the kids to do - Well, Pollycraft Monday Challenge is playing Bingo - I am using their little girl (I never remember the names) and I put a cap on her on a stack of books on a box!  Wow! This image has a cupcake but I cut a diploma out on my cricut and now she's got a diploma instead of a cupcake!  Funny!   I added a few embellies - 3 of which are on the bingo card - button, charm and sparkle/bling!  Pollycraft has some great images - check 'em out here They usually have some freebies - go check 'em out!   They have some really fun and different challenges!  Try 'em out!  Anyway - hope you likey!

Simply happy birthday

As you already know - I just love Simply Betty Stamps - there's something kinda' ghoulish, yet naughty about them - I was actually gonna use the bat in the stamp - but forgot - it's sitting on the counter!  Oh well, this is the crickety fence from "paperdoll dress up" cartridge for my cricut!  I thought it was perfect - I was lazy and didn't wanna get out the "haunt cartridge".  I just got a sizzix flourish die - LOVE IT!!!  I haven't bot anything sizzix for quite some time - i love my Spellbinders but hadn't found the right mix like this one - 3 dies and 4 flourishes!  Perfection!  Anyway- I colored her kinda snappy - stayed with the browns/yellow and oranges on the rest.  Always kinda fun to use a pop of color!  Love the neutrals!  I hope you enjoy my card as much as I enjoyed making it!

Grandma 2011

Well, another treat box for Grandma for Sunday!  Well, she deserves it anyday!  I made home made bean soup with the hambone from Easter and brought her some with some Marie Callendar's cornbread!  She was so happy and amazed that I could cook!  I don't cook for anyone but my family and everyone loves to give me a hard time about it!  I love to pretend that I cannot cook - then no one asks me to!  I'm no dummy!  anyway - she was thrilled and it thrilled me beyond belief to bring it to her!  She's not in the best of health and I just love ,love love her!  And..I just love, love love doing things for her - It brings me incredible joy!  So...sorry for rambling!! - on to my card - I used my Cricut for the castle, flowers and box and....I used Some Odd girl image- I'm really falling in love with those images!  They are addicting!  I know I know what you're thinking - I'm addicted to everything - well, you're kinda right!  Anyway - thanks as usual for popping in and leave a little lovin in the comments!  Ta Ta for Now!!  Like Tigger says - TTFN!

Easter Hunt with a twist!

I decided to combine my Peachy Keen with my Cricut!  What a great pair they are!  The Peachy challenge is their anniversary - this is their 50th challenge!  What fun to participate - I used some metal brads - the flower with a center rhinestone and the eyelets on the base of the card!  I added a little flocking on his tail and ears and of course the peachy face - i made the flower with punches and a butterfly - pretty simple!  Hope you enjoy this card - i'll getting this out today!  I have 2 days left for them to be delivered!

The Magic Show!

I decided to participate in a scrapbook layout challenge at Amanda's Crafts.  Well, I need to figure out how to take the pictures of the larger images.  This is actually only one page of a 2 page layout - I'm a bit behind on my scrapping and this is for my daughters birthday last year.  We have a fantastic magician here in town and we loved his show.  So....the other page has his lovely assistant in her glittery dresses.  I used the peachy keen faces for both - I do like how this came out - can't wait til I get to those pages - in fact, this has inspired me to stop making cards today and scrap!!! Thanks ladies!

This is a multiple challenge challenge - I used this little princess from paper doll dress up with the peachy faces.  My next purchase is gonna be some more faces - don't you just love 'em!?!?!  I wanted this to be monochromatic and used the peachy face and princess!!  I used my sakura pens on the face to add some color and a slight touch of copics on her hair and cheeks.  But pretty simple -- She kissed the frog and is now saying "prince"??  I don't think so!
