Hi all! I have a card today to show you that I made for the SF Challenge: writers cramp. I have used an image by Marlene S: Nerdy Girl. (The name of the image--not Marlene)heehee!! I wrote a few extra items on the chalkboard for my "writers cramp". Thanks for the fun challenge!

Hope everyone has a great week! I may not be back for a couple days....

Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge

Hi all - how is everyone doing....everyone safe from Irene now?
I have made this card with a freebie from Bugaboo Stamps-who just happens to be the sponsor this week over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday! I love Arlana's sketches!
I have used several papers from my scrap drawer...

Thanks for stopping by-and don't forget to comment on my Cutting Cafe post for a chance to win the set I used for my Cutting Cafe card!

My LAST post for THE CUTTING CAFE DT...for now...

Hi all!
Well, today is a sad post for me!!
This is my last post as part of the THE CUTTING CAFE DT!! As a rule, you can only be on the DT for two consecutive terms, then you must sit one out. So, maybe...just maybe... at a future time, I will be listed as part of TCC DT again!
Todays card I have made using: FUN WITH SILHOUETTES--which includes 66 images, and now has been updated with 36 of the images that are cutting files!! ( I used my cricut and MTC to cut out the two background trees) I also used: EVERYDAY MINI WORDS  which I then punched out with my SU tag punch.

AND....this is your lucky week--you will want to make sure to visit and comment on each and every one of us THE CUTTING CAFE DT's who are participating... as you have the chance to win the file that each DT member has used for their card! The drawings will be held Saturday--so make sure to check back too!!
My thoughts are with all of you who are in the path of Irene!!

anyone have SU digital studio

anyone out there have SU Digital Studio? If so, I would love to hear your thoughts! What all can you do with it?

Squiggelfly Challenge today--Waterworks...

Happy Monday-hope your weekend seemed to last longer than mine! It didn't help that I had to work from 6am to 5pm on Saturday!! (I did get an hour and a half for lunch--so was at least able to get home and let poor Max out!!)
Today is the start of a new Squigglefly Challenge: Waterworks. We would love to see you do anything water related--there are so many different options--surprise us!!
Here is my card:

I have used the Squigglefly image by Mark Hicks called Baby Shower.

The Cutting Cafe and Gumballs! (updated)

Hi all! Today I have a card I made with another one of the newer files available over at The Cutting Cafe--Little Gumball Machine   I just love this new set---so cute and there are two different Gumball machines to pick from and two different sizes-and lots of sayings!

Hope you all have a great day--I have a BUNCH of catching up on to do today! And so far, (and it is 11:24am) my hubby seems to have forgotten today is our anniversary!!! I think I may have to whip up a - your in the dog house" card for him!!!

                                                               UPDATE:

Here is the card I made--then asked my hubby to look at--yep--he had totally forgotten!!! This image is from Squigglefly and  is called In The Dog House--by Marlene S. It was so perfect for today! He did take Emily and I out to dinner (late lunch) at LaSenorita after that-so all is well! Wow--what weird weather we are having today--it thundered and rained so hard while we were at the restaurant that the lights went out--so we hurried home , we figured our puppy Max was scared to death by himself--and it hadn't even rained here!! But boy those clouds are sure dark ones!!

Squigglefly Challenge Card

Hi all!
The challenge this week over at Squigglefly Challenge blog is: touchy -feel y. I have combined two squigglefly images: Circle Sentiments-and Zen Dragonfly. I am not sure if you can tell from the pic - but I have used flock on the dragonflies and cattail.

Have a great day!

The Cutting Cafe with Silhouettes

Hi all! I love this new file FUN WITH SILHOUETTE SET-there are 66 awesome silhouette images on this file---you can make a card for most any occasion! I have used the flower pot and added some dried lavender stems to it-(from my own yard!) then made the flower pot a bit bigger and popped it up on top of the flowers. Not only is it a pretty combination--it smells great too!! I have also used another new file-EVERYDAY MINI WORDS for my sentiment. Both of these files are available over at THE CUTTING CAFE--so hurry on over and take a look!

Have a great weekend--and thank you for stopping by!

Bridal shower Umbrella card

I needed to make a Bridal Shower card today, so I have used : UMBRELLA SHAPED CARD AND INVITE SET

from THE CUTTING CAFE! This set comes with both Bridal shower/Baby shower invites for the inside of this adorable shaped card !! I added some ribbons and gems -and printed the Bridal Shower (also included in this set) on my printer---how easy peazy is that?

Card for Whimsy Challenge #1

Big News--(to me anyways) I am excited to tell you all that one of my cards are going to be published in the Scrapbook News and Review on Sunday August 14th. Watch for it if you are one who subscribes!!

I  have made this card for the new challenge over at Whimsy Inspirations. This is their first challenge and it is: Ribbons and Bows. I have used a Whimsy digi image called Hello World by Crissy Armstrong. Isn't that little DINO so cute!!?!! Have a great weekend!!

Sweet Sketch Wednesday--almost too late!

I finally had a spare couple of moments --and really enjoy playing along with the SWEET SKETCH WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE....so I have made this card tonight for this weeks sketch.

I have used misc. papers and the image is: LITTLE GUMBALL MACHINE-printable stamp set, and is available over at THE CUTTING CAFE-where there is a Design Team Call going on right now! GO HERE to check out the details-and see if it is something you are interested in applying for!
This is my second post today, so if you are looking for my Squigglefly Challenge card- go HERE.

New Squigglefly Challenge ....

Hi all--Happy Monday to you, and since it is Monday do you know what that means? Yeppers, that means there is a new Squigglefly challenge up! This weeks challenge is: Button Blowout!! I love putting buttons on my cards-and I have lots and lots of buttons--so it is a great challenge for me!!! I have used Squigglefly image- SECRETS  by LuLu Lancaster. Don't you just love this image?!!  I think I will put something inside like: Is having a friend like you!

I used DP from the June Bug paper pad by Basic Grey, colored these two beauties with copics and added a couple flowers and buttons and bows!! Make sure to check out all the other DT members inspiration too---over at the Squigglelfly Blog!

Back to School with The Cutting Cafe

Hi! I am so not ready for the kids to start back to school---but it is only about 4 weeks away...
The summer has been HOT and SHORT!
I have made this card with several files from THE CUTTING CAFE -
ELISHA JEAN AND FRIENDS-HOLDING APPLE-PRINTABLE STAMPS (Elisha Jean)
ELISHA JEAN AND FRIENDS BASKET JUST FOR YOU-PRINTABLE STAMPS (Heart Border-and Hearts)
THE SCHOOL YEARS-PRINTABLE STAMP SET (I love my Teacher)
I colored her all up with copics and used printable papers from Pink Petticoat ( I think that is where they are from--I had them printed already)
I also used a little stickles on the apple on her jeans.

I wanted to tel you, too, that Regina is having a Design Team Call!! You can find all the details HERE. I can tell you that it is super fun to be on this design team! And I have to say THANK YOU to REGINA, she made me my very own HANDMADE JUST FOR YOU CUSTOM CIRCLES---and I totally LOVE them!!! Now I can personalize the backs of my cards--SWEET!!!

Squigglelfy Challenge card and news...

This card was made for the Squigglefly challenge this week---to use hand writing on you card-isn't this little Farm Froggie just adorable? He is available over at Squigglefly and is drawn by Eline Pellinkhof.

On another note, I have actually now heard from the folks at the Cricut Rewards program--they basically said that cricut rewards are shipped direct so therefore the cost is determined by weight, value, and destination....and they will be looked into to see if there is a better way. There was no mention, however of my complaint of the cartridge cutting the #5 dancer out backwards.

Emily's appointment went very well--looks like her wrist is healed now too---no more splint!! Yeah!

Just a couple updates....

Hi all!  Sorry I have had no new cards to show you in the last couple days....time is just getting away from me again!! I thought I would let you all know that even after emailing Cricut  about the problem with the Twinkle Toes cartridge--I have had NO REPLY....guess everyone is right-their customer service could sure use a make-over!!! Maybe they should start there, rather than putting a "new" cricut machine out every couple months!!
On another note--we go again tomorrow to take Emily to Grand Rapids to the DR.--Emily has been going to Physical Therapy now for about three weeks, (and Kevin and I and Emily are soo impressed with what a difference there is in her arm) I can't wait to see how the Dr. feels about these improvements!!!
Well, hope to be back soon with an actual card to show you! Have a great day!
