Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Doodlecharms

Hi everyone!  I hope you guys all had a great weekend.  We had a busy one working at our annual Cub Scout barbeque.

It's time for another Scrappy Moms Stamps - Terrific Tuesdays Challenge.  This week we are using Doodlecharms....with all the fun, new Cricut cartridges coming out it's easy to forget about this classic cart.  This one has something for every holiday and the cuts are very easy to assemble. 

This card is a little bigger than the ones I usually make....it's 4-1/4 x 6-1/2.  It fits in an A6 envelope.  The paper is from K and Company.  We can't wait to see what everyone comes up with the cartridge....if you don't have Doodlecharms you can use a similiar cut or SVG file. 

Head on over to Scrappy Moms to link up!

Love is In the Air...

Hi everyone!  I wanted to show you a card I made a while back to submit to a publication....no luck on this one so I'll just keep trying!

I used Birthday Bash for the card base and Create a Critter for the heart balloon.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps.  The paper is from MME.

SVG Attic Design Team Day!

Hi everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend!  I'm so excited to announce that I have joined the SVG Attic Design Team!  Jessica has some amazing files and I'm loving them all!

For my project today, I decided to cut the witches hat from the Happy Haunt Halloween Party Kit.  The web is from the What's Brewin set.

I used Echo Park Athopecary Emmporium paper and the ruffle is some crepe paper streamer that I gathered with the sewing machine.   I used Tim Holtz Soot distress ink for the edges.   This hat is so adorable and goes together in minutes.  You could easily make several of them really quickly.....or turn it upside down and make a fun treat holder.

Head on over to SVG Attic to see all the amazing files.

Buggy for Birthday Blog Hop

Hi everyone!  Welcome to the Buggy for Birthdays Blog Hop.  I am hosting this fun hop today to celebrate my birthday that's coming up later in the week.    A lot of my design team friends are joining in on the fun with me.

We have some great prizes for you today hosted by Scrappy Moms, Paper Issues and Me!

For my project today I made a fun "buggy" banner using the Country Drive Collection by Echo Park.

The banner is from the Birthday Bash cartridge.  I love making these banners because the holes are punched and they go together very quickly. 

I cut the square mat from Elegant Edges and then embossed it with the cuttlebug D'vine Swirls folder. The little bugs are from Walk in my Garden, Doodlecharms and Create a Critter.

I made this card for my hubby's birthday today. 

I am entering this into the Cuttlebug Challenge.  The football is from Wrap it Up and the tag is from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.

I recently won some Authentique paper on facebook.  This collection is called Gathering.  It is fabulous.  The paper is super thick and the patterns are all beautiful.  I received the 6 x 6 pad but would love to get my hands on some of the embellishments that go with this collection.

I cut the flowers from Mother's Day Bouquet and then cut out one petal and glued together to form a cone shape.  I cut three layers for each flower...1.5, 1.25, 1.  The brown mat is from Elegant Edges and the ivory one is from Once Upon a Princess.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms.
