Challenges

Hello.  What a crazy day it has been.  It was the first day back to work after having a week off.  That made it crazy but then I added a million other things.  I think, I am sitting down for the first time all day.  On the flip side of all of that craziness, I have walked over 15,000 steps today.  Wow, not a personal record but still a lot of steps.

I am combining challenges.  (I know nothing new there).  And because of that, I came up with this cute but simple card.  Yes, it is a Valentine's card,  I will be ahead for once.

The Card came from Silhouette Online.  After I cut it, I stamped the hearts and the Happy Valentine's Day.    That's the card, simple and quick.

I am using it for the following challenges:
   City Crafter - Case One (Pink)
   Crafty Creations - Anything Goes
   Crafty Gals - Any Holiday (Valentines)
   Paper Take Weekly - Anything Goes
   Just Add Ink - Color Inspiration (Pink and White)
   Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes
   Crafting From The Heart - Anything Goes

I don't know if I will be back or not.  Have a great evening.

A Quick One

Good morning. 

I am here this morning with just a quick birthday card.  I was originally going to make this for my nephew's birthday, but I realized this morning that I need a quick birthday card for a friend, so I cut this one out real quick. 

I am going to use it in the challenge over at CAS on Sunday.  The challenges is numbers

I need to run some errands and then hopefully I will be back to play.  Have a great day.

Spring

Hello again.  Man, is my internet connection slow tonight.  If it doesn't get faster, I might be finished for the night.  Even though, I have one more project, I want to work on.

My sister called and she had about 30 minutes to play so I went looking for something quick and easy.  I found this pretty spring card.  You can find in the Silhouette Online store.  I just love it.

Lori Whitlock

Howdy.  How are all of you doing?  I am listening to the rain.  So much for working outside this week.  Oh well, maybe next week.

I thought I would work on some challenges today but at the same time, I wanted to work on some things that I just wanted to make.  First, I want to have a couple of cards to send with my husband when he goes out of town.

So I started looking (he is an electrician),  I have several that go with his work theme.   I decided to make this card by Lori Whitlock.  I just love her cards.  They cut so well and go together easy.  I made two.  I am going to send one to my Dad.

I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   A Gem of a Challenge - Anything But a Square
   Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes
   Craftin Desert Divas - Anything Goes
   Crafting From The Heart - Anything Goes
   Dies R Us - For The Boys
   Lori Whitlock - Shaped Cards
   Pile It On - Dies & Punches
   Clear It Out - Anything Goes

I will be back in a little bit with another card.

KaDoodle's Eggie Buddies

Hello and good afternoon.  Spring break has been cloudy and rainy so far.  The temperature is at least bearable.  It is in the high 50's, low 60s.

My husband is getting ready to take another trip out of town.  So that means more treat holders.  I like to have him one for every day he is gone.  It doesn't always happen, but maybe...

As you may remember we are huge University of Alabama fans (Roll Tide!!!).  So I am always looking for elephants.  KaDoodle Bug's new Eggie Buddies are just so cute.  When I saw the elephant I knew I had to have him. 

I still had the candy bar holder open on my Silhouette Designer so I thought I would cut out a few elephants and make a few more.  My husband will get one and of course, one will be waiting on my son when he comes home next time.  And then I will have a third one, just in case I need it for something.

I am going to use it for the following challenges:
   613 Ave Create - Anything Goes
   Addicted to CAS - Cute
   Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes
   Scrabble & Scrap - Anything Goes
   Glitter N Sparkle - Anything Goes

Hope to see you later.  Have a good afternoon.

Little Miss Muffet

Good morning (or almost afternoon).  I had a late start this morning.  I have some cleaning to do but I will get to it in a little while.  I wanted to make something since my room is all clean.

I am an organizing addict.  Every thing has a place and I like to keep them in that place.  I think that is one of the reason, I have been playing around in my craft room.  It was a mess.  Now it isn't so hopefully, I will be back at it.

The paper for this card came from a paper pack from DCWV (The Spring Mix).  It is a 6x6 pack.  I made two of these cards and used both of the sheets.  It was two sided so I will not have any scraps left.  It was almost perfect for making these two cards.

The little girl is PDP Daisy from Little Miss Muffet.  She is just so adorable.  I wish I had picked the paper first so the balloons could have been less pink.  Oh well.....

I am going to use the card in the following challenges:
   Fab N Funky - Lots of Layers
   Little Miss Muffet - Spring Colors
   Seize The Birthday - Anything Goes
   Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
   Wednesday's Inspiration - Anything Goes
   Simon Says Wednesday - Happy Birthday
   Sketch Saturday - Sketch #355

Have a great day and I will hopefully see you later.

Still here

Hello and yes, I am still here.  It has been busy around here and I have been in a reading mood.  When I get some free time, I have been reading on my kindle.  Plus my craft room was a mess and it didn't inspire me to make anything.

Today was the first day of our Spring Break at school, so I am off all week.  I spent all day today cleaning my craft room and re-organizing my desk.  It is super clean right now.  I have a couple of projects I started and never finished so I am going to work on those tomorrow (well today, since it is pass midnight.).

The first is this cute little candy holder.  I cut out three of these and only got one made.  It went in my husband's Easter basket.   I have two more to make.   I will just put them up for next year.

The holder is from Silhouette Online (it is one of my favorites.  You have seen it before and you will see it again.  I just love it.) and the rabbit is from SVG Cutting.  I originally cut the rabbits too big so I had to recut them.  I put the larger ones together and put them with my Easter paper.  I will make cards with them next year.

I am going to use the treat holder in the following challenges:
   Paper Take Weekly - Take Your Pick
   Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
   Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes
   Penny's Challenges - Anything Goes

I will try not to disappear again.  And if I do, not for as long.  Have a great night.  See you in a few hours.
