Sending you "Beary" good wishes

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all enjoyed a fabulous weekend. We had a three day and had such a great time. At the end of last week we were able to get away and go down south to Lego land for a couple days and then over the weekend the Hubs planned a wonderful evening for us while my youngest had a sleepover. It was fantastic!! 
Today, I'm sharing a little treat holder. Actually it's not that little, it's really a good size. It would probably hold a small candle. Peachy keen stamps is having a 3D challenge Create a 3D object of your choice using bears. The 3D object can be anything, as long as bears are included somewhere on the project. 

Last week I created a bear using my gypsy and this is the same bear with a different shape for her face - details can be found HERE. I also came across Frosted Designs - Fabulous Friday Challenge Give a Gift and thought it was a great opportunity to give a little gift.

Sweet PKS - 440 Cute and Cuddly Face Assortment

The box is a gable style box but I chose not to cut out the top so it kind of resembles a milk carton. The directions can be found HERE

The inside is filled with yummy peanut butter chocolate :)

Approx - 6" x 3

Paper - Basic Grey

Sentiment - My creative Time (Mixed holiday)

Ribbon - Little Scrap Pieces

Fall is here!

Hi Everyone!

I've been so busy and wanting to get a few projects done, but time just zooms by. I finally decorated my house (so late this year) and when we finished my son said it's just too cute - we really need some spooky things Mom. He's eight so the smiling bats and glitter pumpkins are just not cuttin it :) 
Boy am I ready for some Fall weather! I was feeling in the mood for Fall today so I created a card for a few challenges. I used the sketch from Mojo Monday it's a fun one. I sure hope you all have a SUPER day, thanks for stopping by!

I followed the sketch and didn't change much - it was a really cool sketch and will use it again.

Let it Snow!

Hi Everyone!

Well I thought I would make one last Holiday card.  I actually made a ton of these wreaths and used them for decoration on Christmas gifts. When I stopped to figure it out I think I cut over 800 of these branches.  I searched and searched for the MS branch punch and everyone said it was being discontinued.  Then a friend of mine at Joanns (it's good to make friends in the store:) told me they were on order and to place my name on the to be notified list online. Well it turned out I did get notified and ordered it and received it the week before Christmas. Yay, I LOVE it! 

There are some really inspiring challenges, so I just had to participate in a few.

Go Fish Challenge - White on White

The Cuttlebug Spot - Winter Time use texture (my texture is embossed paper and the branch punch)

Hi Everyone!


I have another quick and cute Christmas card to show you all today. I used the Wrap it Up Cricut cartridge to cut the poinsettia and curled the edges just a bit. I'm a bit crazy for these ribbons at the moment, they are just so easy to make and look so pretty. This is definitely a card you could make many of for the Holiday's, it's pretty simple.  I am entering it in Karen's Challenge - Copy Cat Friday, the theme this week is Holiday.  Also entering it in Frosted Designs - Use a die cut & Reasonable Ribbon CAS Christmas and Ribbon.

Card - 4.25" x 5.5"

Hi Everyone!

Wanted to write a quick post and enter the challenge over at Frosted Designs . It's an animal challenge!  I bought this sizzix die last night at Joanns for $1.97, so I just had to use it! It definitely needs all the extras (ink, pen, color) to make it cute!   Wait.... No cricut cutes were used in the making of this card..... hee-hee. I just realized that!!
I hope you enjoy and have a great day!

Happy Birthday - Day 4 Masculine Card

Hi Everyone,

Here is Day 4 of Masculine Cards.  I think this one is my favorite, and as a HUGE bonus I'm so excited I can enter it in 2 challenges. I love it when it works out that way!  I just love banners!  I especially love the banners on Birthday Bash, but that cart. is on my (very long) wish list.  So I was looking through all of my carts and found something I could use on the sports mania cartridge.  I thinks it worked out great.  Again, this is a super simple card. The sentiment is printed from my computer. I am entering this in:

FROSTED DESIGN - Banners

PAPER CUTZ - Any theme, any color

Hope you enjoy!

Enjoy the Journey

Hi Everyone!

Today is just a GORGEOUS day. Still chilly but the sun is shining! My youngest has baseball pictures today and then we are going to breakfast! It should be a fabulous day!
After viewing all of your blogs and seeing so many AWESOME projects one thing I've learned is that there are SOOO many challenges.  I have come across two new ones that I would like to enter.
PAPER CUTZ - Challenge #80 Make a project for spring using any colors.
FROSTED DESIGNS - Use metal on your project

I made this card using the kite from the Create a Critter cartridge and I just love how it came out. I layered the kite and added pop dots in between the layers.  I added the metal piece "enjoy the journey" and some fibers. I also clear embossed the kite string. Super simple, just the way I like it! I hope you all have a great day!
