I love making cards for my friends and Family and especially my crafty friends. I know I love getting cards in the mail :)

I made this card for a special friend in mind, She is my Honorary "Sister" today for National Sisters Day!

I hate spoiling card surprises but I wanted to enter this in a few Challenges.

I feel lucky to have met this person, we haven't known each other our whole lives but she is one of those people that makes you feel like you have. She is caring, sweet, generous, funny, always listens and is one amazing crafter!

Okay, I could go on and on about how special of a friend she has been to me and still is everyday but I will get to my card already!! :)

The sentiment reads: "is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a meaning!"
"Friend" I hope you know how special you are to me :)

A few of my favorite things for a challenge

I love participating in the Cooking with Cricut Challenges. This week the challenge #37 Pick Your Poison- Pick Your Favorite Cartridge and Your Favorite Color.

Here is what I came up with.

Of course my Favorite cartridge is Hello Kitty Greetings. My Hello Kitties were cut at 2.75 with all the layers. I used Lacy Labels for my bookmark, a label and its shadow cut at 5. I cut my name from Baby Steps cartridge at 1. My cardstock is from Bazzill and I used my two favorite cuttlebug folders, swiss dots and polka dots. I did faux stitching with my sakura gel pen  and  SU! marker. I then added an eyelet and some of my favorite ribbon and twine.
Thanks for looking!

 I'm excited to use these because reading is another favorite hobby of mine!

Happy Mother's day!! NSD challenge # 4

Happy Mother's day to all the wonderful mothers out there!
I made quite a few things yesterday for the National Scrapbooking Day Challenges over at the Pink Stamper.

Here is the first one I made for my mother.

I used Lacy Labels cartridge and cut the tag at 3 with all the layers.

 I used SU! baja breeze, pretty in pink, and old olive. I decorated  with pearls from my stash. Lace ribbon is SU! and the flowers are SU!. DSP is Penny Lane from My Minds Eye. The sentiment stamp is from Micheal's new ditto stamp line. The envelope I cut my letter from the Storybook cartridge at 2.

I hope you enjoyed my post and have a great day!

Cartridge Toss-up ~ Lacy Labels

This week my friend, Stacey and I picked Lacy Labels as our cartridge toss up.
I really enjoyed using this cartridge and I can't wait to make more projects with it!

This card I did three different color schemes of but it is the same card.



I welded my "label" together to make a card shape on my gypsy at 4 1/4 and cut all my layers at 4 1/4.

I embossed the bottom layer with my cuttlebug swiss dots folder on all three cards. I then embellished with buttons, twine, flowers and a few brads. The colors I used are SU! crumb cake, old olive, chocolate chip, pink pirouette, marina mist, so saffron and the retired Sweet Pea DSP from SU! I did the faux stitching around the edges with chocolate chip marker and the pretty in pink marker.

I really love how these three cards turned out!
Thanks for looking!

Cartridge Toss-up ~ Lacy Labels

Hi Everyone!
It's Tuesday already and you know what that means, another Cartridge Toss-up!
This week my wonderful friend Stacey, over at Stacey's Creative Corner, and I picked the cricut lite cartridge Lacy Labels. I got this cartridge for Christmas along with my Cricut and I have never once used it until now. I must say I was pleasantly surprised! I loved it!
Here is my First project for this week.

 A Birthday Card for my Sister-in-law.

The colors are Navy Blue, Very Vanilla and Bashful blue but the pictures always show up yellow.

I welded my card shape on my gypsy at 4 1/4, I cut all the layers at 4 1/4.
The "Happy Birthday" is from Martha Stewart Elegant Cakes Cartridge cut at 2 1/2.
I added some sponging with silver ink then some gems from my stash.

Thanks for Looking and Have a Great Tuesday!
