Monster Mash

Hello on a rainy Monday.  I think it is suppose to rain most of the week.  Lots of time inside.  Now just to get my to do list done so I can hang out here.

I have a love hate thing going with Miss Kate Cutables.  I love her images.  They are so detailed and adorable.  I love all of the layers.  It makes every thing pop.  The hate part comes in when I have to cut all of the layers.  You have to get the right colors and each has to be cut separately.  But it is worth it in the end.

Isn't this the cutest monster?  I don't make a lot of children's cards but I just had to make him.  I only cut two of them but I am going to go back and make more.  My niece's son will be getting him in the mail.  I even added a wobble on the back so Liam will have fun playing with the card.

I am going to use the card in the following challenges:
   AudSentiment - For A Child
   Fab N Funky - Little Boys & Girls
   Paper Play Sketches - Sketch #46
   Tuesday Throwdown - Monster Mash

Chat with all of you later.

Pizza my Heart

Hello and Happy Sunday  I am going to head out in a little while to buy groceries for the week.  Before I went I wanted to make a quick card.

My husband runs his own business and the office part is in our home.  He isn't very organized so his desk is usually a mess.  He spent yesterday cleaning it off.  I thought I would surprise him with a card in the middle of his desk.  I put this together late last night.

When I saw the challenge over at CASology, I figured I wouldn't do it.  With a pizza theme, I was at a loss what to do.  This was in my Valentines folder so I thought why not.  It would be a good card for my husband's desk.  Instead of cutting all the pieces.  I filled in the colors, grouped them together and printed them.  Then I just had to cut the red shadow piece. 

I added a polka dot texture to the top since I hate blank space and that is the card.  Simple and quick to do.

I am using it in the following challenges:
   CASology - Pizza
   Through The Purple Haze - Spots and/or Stripes
   Crafty Creations - Anything Goes #345
 
Off to get my groceries.  Chat with you later.

Roses

Hello.  I had hoped to send some time in the craft room today, but I didn't get as much time as I wanted.  But I am not the least bit sleepy so I could be up for a while so maybe I will play around now.

I love roses.  This is one of my favorite stamps.  I use it on a regular basis.  So you will probably see it again.





I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   Freshly Made Sketches - Sketch #395
   CAS on Sunday - Flowers
   Penny's - Anything Goes #336
   MHK Designs - Flowers
   Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes

Chat with you later.

Deepest Sympathy

Hello again,

Just a quick one.  Then I am off to water the flowers outside.  

I don't make a lot of white on white cards but I need a sympathy card so I thought this would be simple and perfect for the occasion.  I really want to add gems to the centers of the flowers but I don't think that would work for this card.




I am using it in the following challenges:
   Addicted to CAS - White on White
   City Crafters - White & Black
   Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes #131

Chat with you tomorrow.

Ladybugs

Hello.  For some unknown reason, it feels like it should be Saturday instead of Friday.  Oh well,  I am just going to have to keep correcting myself.

I decided to make a card real quick before I head out to do some errands.  I printed this cute little girl a couple of days ago and I haven't taken the time to color her.  I thought she would look really cute on the Sketch Saturday sketch.  I had already printed her out so I couldn't put her in an oval but I like the rectangle.

I cheated on the sketch.  Instead of cutting the red polka dot paper, I put two ribbons criss crossing across the paper.   I tried putting a ladybug button on the bottom of the card but with the red polka dots, it was lost on the page.  I also put some glossy accent on the ladybugs to finish off the card.

I am using it for the following challenges:
   Catch The Bug - Anything Goes
   Sketch Saturday - Sketch #470
   Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes
   Crafty Gals - Anything Goes #130
   Wednesday's Inspiration - Dots and/or Stripes

Off to run some errands.  I am hoping to be back later this afternoon. 

SVG Cuts Patriotic House

Hello.  I know I haven't posted in a while.  I am trying to get a little bit more organized so I will be able to post more often.

So far it has been a busy summer.  Mainly working on things around the house.

I love the houses from SVG Cuts.  I saw a patriotic one on Pinterest and I knew I just had to make it.  The one on Pinterest has three floors but two was enough for me.   I knew it would take me a while to put it together but man, this was a project.

I did the Halloween house last year and I just love it.  This one took longer than the Halloween one.  Plus I had trouble with the roof.  It was hard to get together and glued onto the house.  But I finally got it done.

I plan on leaving it out until Labor Day so I can enjoy it.

I am going to use it for the following challenges:
   Cupcake Inspirations - Patriotic
   Glitter N Sparkle - Freedom
   Jo's Scrap Shack - Anything Goes
   Curtain Call - Red, White & Blue
   Simon Says Monday - Red, White & Blue

Off to clean off my table.  Chat with you later.

Another Strawberry

Hello again.  Here is another strawberry card for you.  I think it is one of my favorites.  Just a perfect I am thinking of you card.

It is a Lori Whitlock image that I converted into a card.  She has a carton of strawberries that I have seen made in to a pull card.  I want to work on it later this week.

I am using it in the following challenges:
   Tuesday Throwdown - Anything Goes #314
   Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes #128
   Through The Purple Haze - Anything Goes #125
   Crafty Hazelnuts - Anything Goes

Off to see what else I can get into.  Chat with you later.
