Did ya have a great weekend? We had a wonderful time barbecuing, going to our block party, & we even caught a Galaxy game.  We made the most of our 3 day weekend :) I even had some time to make a card for a few challenges.

I used the live simply cartridge for the mushrooms & Frog. The frogs face is from PKSC-14 and I just hand drew the mouth.

Peachy Keen Challenge Photo Inspiration

Hi Everyone!

Our week is certainly off to a heartbreaking start :( My heart is with the families in OK. 
If you had a chance to pop over and see the challenge at Peachy Keen Stamps then you had a look at the photo challenge.  I just love the PKSC-16 set. It has the cutest flowers and I use them all the time. Here is what I created for the challenge.
I added some zig zag stitching and some burlap from Liz's Paper Loft (oh she's having a sale for her anniversary :)  Maybe I should share the inspiration photo

Little Scrap Pieces DT post - Shape Card

Hello,

How's everyone? Busy? Ready for the weekend? I hope by now you are all getting some nice weather. We have had some GORGEOUS days! 

So this week at Little Scrap Pieces  our challenge is to create a shaped card. Now, I love a good shaped card but I can't always find a card cut that suits my interest, so I usually use my gypsy and just weld two images together. Exactly what I did for this project.  Recently, we had Teacher Appreciation week and I haven't shared all of the fun things we did so I thought I would share the little card I attached to one of the gifts for the week.

I welded two shadow cuts from Cricut Cartridge Simply Charmed  

It's a small card - about 2.5 x 5

Paper - Scraps
Star Die - My Creative Time
Cuttlebug - Polka Dots
Sentiment - My creative Time
Ribbon - Little Scrap Pieces

I hope you will stop over and see all the fabulous DT projects and join us this week!

Every Path has it's puddle

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe that it's only Tuesday, my week has already been so busy! My oldest had to have his wisdom teeth pulled on Monday so I've been on nurse duty.  What a painful surgery, I had mine pulled when I was in my teens and barely remember it but WOW, he was in a lot of pain :( So I never did get to finish all the cards I started for NSD except for one. Here's what I made for the Pumpkin Spice NSD Lezlye's Challenge- Instant Photo. I think this may be my favorite card that I've made. I just love the combo of MCT & PKS
That adorable ducky stamp is from the PKSC-16 and that puddle is from MCT new release

Card - A2
Paper - Recollections
Ribbon - Martha Stewart

Little Scrap Pieces DT Post - Bugs

Hi Everyone!

It's FRIDAY!!! doing a happy dance :) I hope you are ready for the weekend and Fun Friday! This week at Little Scrap Pieces the challenge is to use a bug on your project.  Now I will admit I get confused about insects which are and which aren't. My son said that technically Bees are not bugs! They are however Flying insects - bugs, insects I'm sure they are all fine :) In any event, I created a card using the new PKS stamps - Oh man are they CUTE!!!

I really tied my entire card around that face stamp.  PKSC-16

I used the Create a Critter Cartridge for the bees and Hive.
