My First Card using my ProMarkers....

Hi friends,
I won a few goodies a few weeks back from Tracey @ My Creative Place which included a set of 5 Promarkers, this is my first set of Promarkers, and I LOVE them, they are so fantastic!!!!!! they go on so smooth, I have already ordered more, I can't stop colouring now,
I visited Letrasets blog and saw they are having a little colour Challenge, so I would like to enter this in there Challenge, this is my first time entering there Challenge,
this is a Digi Stamp I downloaded from the web...I am so sorry I do not remember where I found it, (if anyone knows who's it is please leave me a comment, so I can give them credit) it is a super cute image, and was fun to colour....
 I did not add a sentiment yet, as I am not sure who will get this card...
thank you so much for stopping by......

Guest Designer at She's A Sassy Lady- Birthday Cake

Hello Crafty Friends!!!!
Today I am Guest Designer for She's a Sassy Lady,  I am so happy to have a project to share with you today.....
My project today is a Birthday Cake I made for my BFF, it was her Birthday this past Friday, I do have the Cricut Cake, but I really didn't have the time to roll out the fondant and really get too fancy with it, so instead I used my Cricut Expression, no I did not put food stuffs in to it, I used it to cut a piece of paper, ok I know this is sounding weird now, but stay with me and I'll show you what I did....
So what I did was bake a cake, after the cake was cooled I wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in freezer, it should be in freezer for a good 5 or 6 hours, even over night would be good. Then I measured my cake pan, it was 6x10. So now I get out my Gypsy and make a rectangle using those measurements, then on a new page I found a Butterfly shape, ( she loves Butterflies)
The image I used was from the Stamping Solutions cart, I used the Blackout Feature, size is 9.01 x 5.86
next I cut my Butterfly shape out, using my Expression and computer copy paper, then I took my cake out of the freezer, placed my image on top of my cake and using a serrated knife I started cutting away cake....


I choose this Butterfly because it did not have antenas, Now I did not put a filling in this cake, if you wanted to I would but it back in the freezer, for an hour or 2 then slice it in half and put in filling. 
Here I am icing the cakee, she loves pink.... 
and I love purple....Unfortunatly it was a very rainy day, so I am so sorry the pic is soo dark, I had some batter left some I used it up by making cupcakes....I wish I had more time to spend on the cake, I would have liked to add more colour, next time, I just Love using my Expression, and I Love that I can use it to make a shape and then make a shape cake with it......
I hope you all enjoyed my post for today, a different way of using your Expression. I would love to see any cakes you make, Easter is coming, I think I may try a Bunny shape cake for this weekend....


and here is a quick card I made for her, using her favourite cart, Paper Lace, I used PL to cut out the butterfly lace background, the I used my Maya Mist to give it a little shimmer, The stamp is a Smirk Stamp, and I used ProMarkers to colour my images....
Thanks so much for stopping by today.....I hope you all have a Crafty week.....

Birthday Week with Kassidy, at Inking It Up Crazy

Hello my Crafty Friends,

how have you all been...

today I have a Birthday decor project for you, my friend the ubber talented Kassidy from Inking It Up Crazy asked me and a few other crafty bloggers to be guests on her blog this week, Of coarse I said YES!!!! She has the week planned with a Birthday inspired project everyday.
Today is my day, Birthday Decor Day .....Here is what I created..... a table decoration......
I just received the Straight From The Nest Cartridge in the mail, and I just had to use it, the paper I used was from Jillibean Soup, it is sooo cute, it is called Spotted Owl Soup 6x6 pack. 
 All cuts are from SFTN  
 I LOVE this paper!!!!
                        I  love the images on this cartridge!!!!
here is a picture of all the items I used to make this Birthday Decoration, 
the blue fuzzy cup is actually a pen and pencil holder, I found it at the dollar store, 
I also used chop sticks (because I couldn't find my BBQ Skewwers) to hold my images...
my ATG gun and some Scotch Quick Dry Glue

I hope you all enjoyed my project for today, and I hope you all will hop over to Kassidy's blog and see all of the other designers projects, and don't forget she will have Birthday posts all week.... 

Thank you soooo much Kassidy for letting me be part of your Birthday Week of Projects... 
I had so much fun making this project, it is my first table decoration
