Military Challenge

I found this card idea on Pinterest and just loved it.  I am ashamed to say that I scraplifted it.    I used my Cuttlebug to emboss the card base.  The banner is from Bits and Pieces.  I also used Artbooking, Artistry and Hello USA.

It has been really hard to get into my craftroom, lately.  I have been working more lately and having alot of family issues.  It has stolen my creativity.  My furbaby gets spayed tomorrow and hoping she does well.  My furbabies are so special to me.  I bet everyone has great appreciation for their furbabies, right now more than ever.  Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.  God's blessings to you.  Tfl.

My Hero!

This is a layout I created for a challenge over at BBTB2.  Susan is our amazing design sister with the challenge for this week.  We are to use a superhero in our project.  I loved this teddy bear from the Teddy Bear Parade cartridge.  The other images came from:  Star line is from Artbooking, the star border is from Ribbons and Rosettes, the My Hero wording is from Stand and Salute and the You're the Best wording is from the Wrap it Up cartridge.  That's it.  I also used the cut out stars to add to the layout.  This is a picture of my husband and our little doggie.  tfl.

Amy is our design sister from BBTB2 with the challenge for this week.  Are you watching football??

Welcome Spring!

I get to pick the challenge over at BBTB2 and I chose spring flowers.  You should be able to find alot of spring flowers to choose from for your card or project.  I love looking for the beautiful flowers that come into bloom this time of year.  What a blessing after winter, although our winter was really good this year, not much snow and not very cold.  Yay.  I found my flowers in the Walk in my Garden cartridge, the clouds and sunshine are from Pooh and Friends and the fence from Wrap it Up  and the grass is from Artbooking.  I made my card using an easel card base.  tfl. 

Go Wild!!

Hello, it is time for a challenge over at BBTB2, and I thought it would be fun to make a card or project featuring animals.  There are alot of cute animal images out there and alot of fun things to do with them.  I can't wait to see what you come up with.  Come and join us!!!  I used the card base from my Silhouette Cameo and used the side step card.  The grass and tree is from Zooballoo, and the animals and sentiment were from Create a Critter.  I got the lion from B is for boy, the fence from Artbooking.  I sued quite a few cartridges, but in Design Space, it is easy to put them together.  This was definitely a fun card to make.  tfl.

Something New

Hello again, I hope everyone had amazing holidays.  Christmas is amazing for me, because of the grandchildren and their joy.  We had the whole family over for Christmas, and had alot of wonderful food.  I love watching the grandkids play together, also.  Maureen has the challenge over at BBTB2 and our challenge is to make something to do with the New Year or something new.  I chose something new.  Right before closing for the year at the campground, we found an amazing deal on this used camper, but new to us.  We are so excited but it will have to wait till spring to enjoy.  Our old camper was having so many issues and was beginning to not be much fun.  I used Campin' Critters, and Artbooking to make this layout.  Come an join the fun.  tfl.

Movie Night

L.B. is our talented designer with the challenge over at BBTB2 and she has chosen the theme of Movie Night.   It is Popcorn month, so what do you think of when you eat popcorn, but movies.  I made this layout using several cartridges.  It is so easy to find what you are looking for in the Cricut Design Space, but then I forget where I got the images.  I had to go back and figure it out.  I think they were from Movie Night, Artiste, When I Was A Kid and Artbooking.  Now I have to find a picture to put in it.  tfl.

A Day to Celebrate!

Lynn is our talented designer over at BBTB2 with the challenge for this week.  We need to use a sea animal in our project.  I loved this cute octopus in the Birthday Bash cartridge.  I also used the Artbooking cartridge for the background and the waves are from Zooballoo.  Come and join the fun for some splashy fun with our sea animals projects.  tfl.
