Christmas Ornament Challenge

 We have a new challenge over at BBTB2, and is all about Christmas ornaments.  Are you getting in the holiday mood?  I used a doily from Artiste,  rosette from Ribbons and Rosettes, and snowflakes from When it's Cold Outside.  I also used some gems to dress it up a bit.  Come on over and join the fun!

Valentines Day Hearts Challenge

 

I love doing vintage and what better time to do it, than Valentine's Day.  Alot of this card is just using images and cut aparts from Graphic 45 paper.  I used a tag from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge.  I welded two tags together to make the pocket.  The flowers and the heart inside the pocket are from the Artiste cartridge.  I had a paper doily that I tucked behind the pocket.  This valentine card was created for a challenge over at BBTB2.  I was inspired by a project on Pinterest.  Tfl.

Easter Treat Basket

Hello again, time for another challenge over at BBTB2 and we are to make a 3d treat box.  Dorlene is our designer in charge of our challenge.  I decided to make something Easter related, so this is my Easter basket.  I used Miss Kate cutables for the image and the tulip border.  The basket is from Easter 2010.

Wow, it has been a busy two weeks!  I have had the fun of spending time with my grandchildren, working, birthday party for my son and all the spring things that need doing.  It is also time to get the camper up and running.  Wow, we have had a couple beautiful days, too.

Here is another photo of my project:

Come and join the fun!  Tfl.

Valentine Hearts

I saw an adorable triple easel card on You Tube.  Of course,  I had to try it.  I found this cute Minnie Mouse in the Mickey and Friends Valentine cartridge.  The heart is from the Close to my Heart Artiste cartridge.  I also used a heart shape from the Cricut Design Space.

 This is the card all folded up.

This card was made for a challenge over at BBTB2.  Come and join the fun!  Tfl.

Hello Sunshine!

This is a card that I am entering in a challenge over at DL.ART.  It is a challenge about summer.  Hope you had a fabulous summer!  Tfl.

Amy 4th of July

Happy 4th of July!!  Amy has chosen our patriotic theme for this week, over at BBTB2.  I found the label in the graphically speaking cartridge and the other images in the Artiste cartridge.  Then, just a little bling.  Hope everyone has a safe holiday!  Tfl. 

Gift Tags and Boxes

I made this tag for a challenge over at BBTB2 and Maureen is our amazingly, talented designer with the challenge for this week.  We are to make a gift tag or box.  The tag was made using George and the flowers and leaves were from the Artiste cartridge.  I love this sweet Prima Doll that I got from a sweet friend.  It was so much fun playing with it.  Come and join the fun.  tfl.

Vintage Box

Laura chose for the challenge of the week to make a 3d project over at BBTB2.  I found my little box (and it is little) in the Tags, Bags, Boxes and more 2 cartridge.  I put a little band at the bottom to help it keep it's shape.  The flowers, leaves and doily are from the Artiste cartridge and the tag from George.  Now to figure out what to do with it, lol.  It was fun to try something other than cards!  Come and join us and check out what my amazing design sisters have come up with.  tfl.

Nautical Father's Day

Hello again, time for another challenge over at BBTB2 and Susan, our amazingly talented designer, has our challenge for this week.  It is time to celebrate Father's Day.  I made this card for my Dad.  Who doesn't love a nautical theme, so I went with that.  The helm is from Life's a Beach.  I took out the center of the wheel to put the boat from B is for Boy cartridge.  The banner is from the Artiste cartridge.  Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there.  tfl.

Happy Birthday!!

Hello again, it is time for another challenge over at BBTB2 and Marti is our talented design sister with the challenge.  We are to make a project or card that has to do with birthdays-card, tag, layout.  The design space had this cartridge free this week, so I thought I would play with it.  My bil had a recent birthday, so I was looking for guy images.  I thought these gears would be fun.  I found some gears from the Artiste cartridge, also.  Steam punk seems to be the craze.  Come and join the fun.  We can't wait to see your projects.  tfl.

Happy Easter!

Susan is our amazing design sister in charge of the challenge over at BBTB2 and it is all about Easter!!  I bet you are seeing bunnies, chickies and eggs all over the place!  I made my card from scratch, from a card I saw on Pinterest.  Jayne made it and she was one of our designers a while ago. She is soooo talented!!  The card base, eggs and banner are from Art Philosophy, the bunny from Create a Critter, the grass is from Artiste, the sunshine and clouds are from Pooh and Friends.  I made a tent card, using a little different technique than Jayne.  I cut two tags and attached them to a fold, so I would have different sections graduated inside.  Then added the grass, bunnies and eggs.  It was lots of fun.  

I just barely got this card done.  I had a good amount of stress lately and medicated myself with sugar, which gave me a nice virus that I was dealing with most of the week.  I watched my grandchildren for a day this week, also.  Well, here it is, just under the wire.  tfl.

Merry Christmas Nativity Scene

I love the theme for our challenge over at BBTB2.  Susan has chosen to use a Nativity scene or a Menorah on our card or project.  I chose these images from A Quilted Christmas.  I love this cartridge, although I have issues with some of these intricate cuts.  UGH.  I followed a sketch from the Mojomonday blog.  These sketches really help to motivate me.  Come and join us and link up your project with us.  I can't wait to see what you come up with.  tfl.

Merry Christmas Wreath

Valentyna, my amazingly, talented design sister, over at BBTB2, has chosen a Christmas wreath for our challenge this week.  I found this pretty wreath in the Holiday Cakes cartridge.  I found the holly in the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge and the wording from Artiste.  I used a Mojo Monday sketch to make my card.  Come and join the fun and check out what my other design sisters have come up with.  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.

You're Not Old... Vintage!

Emily is our talented designer with the challenge over at BBTB2.  We are to create a project that is vintage.  I picked the Nifty Fifties to create my card.  I also used Artiste for the flowers and the sentiment comes from the Imagine printables.  I think I will give this to my sister for her birthday.  tfl.

In my Garden

I have been enjoying doing some shabby chic projects.  What can I say, I love doing girly type cards.  Melanie has chosen a gardening theme over at BBTB2.  There are so many images to use with this challenge.  I have been out in my garden and have enjoyed all the flowers that are coming up.  It is soon time for me to put in my vegetable garden.  I try at least, I don't know how sucessful that I am in doing this.  I love this paper called Secret Garden from Kaisercraft.  I can't wait to see all the garden projects.  Come and join us.  tfl.

You're so Tweet!

There are so many birdie images to choose from for our challenge over at BBTB2.  I am hosting for   Brenda who has chosen the fun challenge of using a bird in our card or project.  I decided to go vintage and make this card for my mother in law's birthday.  She likes birdies and used to feed them and watch for them in her yard.  She is in assisted living now, so I wanted to bring the birdie inside to her.  The bird house is from Cindy Lou as well as the flourish.  The birdie came from Create a Critter, the flowers and leaves from Artiste and the tag is from George.  Come and join the fun!!  tfl.

You make me Hoppy!

I have been busy making my Easter cards.  This is a card that I saw on Pinterest that I put a little of my own spin on.  This is a card base from the Art Philosophy cartridge, the ribbon is a paper ribbon and the bunny is one of the freebies on the Cricut Design Space for this week.  tfl.

Beware!!

Hello, it is my turn for the challenge over at BBTB2 and this week, it is all about Halloween.  I chose to make a card or project with a bat in it.  My card is a hybrid card, using my silhouette for the card base and the images are from my Cricut Explore.  I used several cartridges:  bat and witch from Simply Charmed, spider and ghost from Mini Monsters, Spooky came from the Artiste cartridge and Beware came from Artbooking.  Beware is hard to see because it is on the side peeking out.  Check out what my design sisters have come up with.  Awesomeness for sure.  tfl

Tea pot Challenge

Our challenge this week over at BBTB2 is to use a teapot or teacup in your card or project.  I have collected some teapots from my ancestors and they mean alot to me.  Don't you just think about relaxation, when you think of teapots or teacups??  Susan is our amazingly talented design sister with the challenge this week.  Come and join the challenge and link up with us.  tfl.
