Congrats on your little Lion

Hi Everyone!

I hope you are having a wonderful week!

This week has been super busy for us. Plus we are suppose to get a snow storm today!

Not the best when you have to deliver girl scout cookies.

Today is my day to share a project for Joy's Life Design Team.
The Design Team has been sharing some great projects this week, make sure to stop by and check them out!

I made a baby card to go along with a gift.

I used the "Everyday Occasions" Joy's Life Stamp Set for this card.

I cut the grass from Create a Critter and the lion from Life's a Party cartridge.

I stamped the sentiment in Chocolate Chip ink from Stampin Up, used DCWV Safari stack and wrapped some Chocolate Truffle Trendy Twine.
This is one of the gifts I made to go along with it.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you have a wonderful day!

Sweet Friend Floral card

Joyful Heart Altered Canvas

Hi everyone!

Today, marks alot of things for The Cut It Up Challenge Blog.

A new challenge, the end of the second design team term and the beginning of new ownership.

Cut It Up Challenge #13- Pinterest Inspired

Before I get to my project for this last Cut It Up Challenge I will be participating in I want to share what a blessing it has been to do this with my BFF, Stacey.
We were so blessed to have an amazing, creative, friendly and very supportive Design Team who stayed for not one but two awesome terms. Some are staying on with the new changes.

Stacey and I are stepping down from this challenge blog because our personal lives have taken new directions and we want to have the time to enjoy all that.

We hope everyone enjoys everything the new challenges and team have to offer. :)

Now onto my project, I am always browsing Pinterest and of course get tons of crafty ideas!

I came across this and immediately thought of my friend, so I decided to make this for her for this challenge.

My version.

Of course, I used my cricut and the supplies I had already.

The colors are pastels and tough to picture properly.

I just love how this turned out and my friend loved it too!

Project Life cards featuring Joyful Hearts

Hi Everyone!

Today is my day to share a project for Joy's Life.

This week Joy asked the team to make some scrapbook pages, journaling spots or Project Life cards.

I don't really scrapbook so made some project life cards for my Valentine page, this week.

My full page.

These page protectors are from We Are Memory Keepers, the squares are 4x4.
I decided to try these pages first since this is my first year doing project life.

I can say that I am really enjoying it.

Top row- I used Joy's Life Joyful Hearts set- "Hello There", heart, "Happy Day" and All Around Sentiments "Love You".

Middle row- Joy's Life Holiday Occasions "Valentine's Day" and Joyful Hearts- Heart (background) and Everyday Occasions "love".

Bottom row- Joy's Life Joyful Hearts- "best friends" and "i love you" and Wintery Puns "Hugs & Kisses".

I had fun making these and I can't wait to fill these pages with photos, keepsakes and lots of memories!
Make sure to stop by the Joy's Life Design Team Blog to see all the Valentine projects featured this week!
