Light Up My Life

Hello and Happy Sunday.  I had the day off and I have had a nice relaxing day.  I started the day reading then straighten the house a little bit and now I am messing around in my craft room.

My husband is an electrician, so I am always looking for light bulbs and such.  This image from Bugaboo Stamps has been printed and on my desk for a couple of weeks.  I finally made some thing with it.  It is a fairly simple image so not a lot of coloring.  I used paper from Happy Heart Studio.

If you have never been to Happy Heart Studio.  You have to check out her digital paper.  She has some amazing packs of paper and they just print amazingly.  And they are very reasonably priced.

I am using the card in the following challenges:
   Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes
   Crafty Calendar - Love Is In The Air
   Freshly Made Sketches - Sketch #225
   Crafty Gals - Anything Goes #60
   Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes

Well I am off to hide the card somewhere, so my husband will find it when he least expects it.

Clover and more clovers

Hello. 

After speaking to the Silhouette Customer Service department for quite some time tonight, we finally got my cameo to cut a complete file.  After not having it for a week, I was just glad to be able to do something. 

When we were playing around with it, trying to figure out what was wrong, I picked this simple but not all straight lines files to cut.  It is another tri fold card.  With the little clover on the edge of the top fold.  After several attempts, it finally worked.  I am so happy.

I am going to use the card in the following challenges:
   Hiding In My Craft Room - Clean and Simple
   Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes
   613 Ave Create - Anything Goes
   Really Reasonable Ribbon - Celebrate

Well I am off to clean the kitchen.  Cross your fingers that my machine will cut next time, I try.  Have a great evening.

Give A Crafter A Cookie

Hello and Happy Thursday morning.  Please no cookies.  I am trying to cut back.

My Silhouette is acting up.  This is the last card I was able to cut.  I hope to have it back up and running soon.  It is very frustrating not having it.

In the meantime, it is time for another Give A Crafter A Cookie challenge.  This challenge should be so much fun.   I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.  The challenge is sponsored by Sami Stamps and Robyn's Fetish.

My project was a simple card from Silhouette Online.  It is a tri-fold card.  I have made several lately and the folds are growing on me.  I added the pattern paper and ribbon on the bottom fold.  It was been a great card for my niece who just announced she was pregnant. 

Hopefully,  I will have another card for you later today.  Have an great one.  I look forward to seeing your projects over at Give a Crafter A Cookie.

St. Patrick's Day

Hello.  I hope everyone is having a great evening.

I printed a bunch of St. Patrick's Day images for my 30 day Coloring Challenge.  So you will be seeing a bunch of green over the next few days.  But that is a good thing, because I don't have any St. Patrick's Day cards left over from last year.

I got the image from Bugaboo colored really quickly then I had to design the card.  I have tons of green pattern paper but I had trouble matching the colors.  I always have trouble with that.  I decided to use the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches.  It made designing the card easier.

I am using the card in the following challenges:
   Tuesday Morning Sketches - Sketch #339
   Marker Pop - St. Patrick's Day
   Chocolate Coffee Cards - Anything Goes
   Brown Sugar - Anything Goes
   Craft Your Passion - Anything Goes #299
   Catch The Bug - Keep It Simple

Chat with you tomorrow.  Have a great weekend.

Cut It Up

Hello and Happy Friday.  I hope everyone has every one has plans to fit some craft time into the weekend.

I haven't been active over at Cut It Up and I am planning on getting back into the swing of things.  So we are going to start today with a new challenge.

The theme is Leap Year.  Project must contain a frog. It is sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps.


I used this cute little hello froggie from Bugaboo Stamps.  I kept the card clean and simple.  I don't normal have this much white space but I am getting where I leave more and more.

I  couldn't find a ribbon that I liked so I just added a small strip of patterned paper.

And that is my card.  I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

Have a great day.
