Saturday Paper A La Mode

Hello!

I am so sorry to be a day late with my card today for SATURDAY PAPER A LA MODE!

Our sponsor this week is Dr. Digi's House of Stamps! Our theme is CUTE AS A BUTTON.

I have used the digi: MISTLETOE

The sentiment is from the Cardz Tv stamp set "Naughty or Nice".

Well, the time has come that I am going to have to step down from all my DT positions for a while.

School will be starting back up soon, and I will be going back to work, and my daughter is really into sports and band....so that means a lot of games, and meets coming up soon!

I also am currently taking classes to get my CDA (Child Development Associates), and have found that for me, the homework is taking a bit more time than I had imagined!

I will still try to stop by and say hi often, and hope to still stay crafty and post some things, just do not like missing posting posts on time...

Thank you to all the AWESOME ladies that have allowed me to grow by being on their DT's, it has been wonderful and something I will not ever forget!

Thank you to REGINA from THE CUTTING CAFE

Thank You to MARY at CARDZTV

and also to all the AWESOME ladies over at the OUTLAWZ

Hope to see all soon. (or sooner than later at least!)

I'm a Guest DT over at Die Cuttin Divas....

Hello!

I am so excited to be a Guest DT for this weeks challenge over at 

Die Cuttin Divas!

The challenge this week is: Camping Fun with Woodland Animals, and somehow I only saw the Woodland Animals part....so I unfortunately left out anything on the cards to do with camping, but I think they would be really fun to take along and send out to family/friends while you are on a camping trip!

After all, everyone likes to get something fun in the mail, right?

This is a set of four 3 1/2 x 3 1/2 cards with envelopes (that I made with my new 

Envelope Punch Board from We R Memories Keepers).

I found these cuties over on ETSY: Catching Color Flies/(CCDESIGNS).

I used the Print and Cut feature on my cricut....easy peasy!

Aren't they cute?

Do you ever send out little cards or postcards while you are camping?

Well, thanks for stopping by, I hope you will play along with the challenge!

THE CUTTING CAFE INSPIRATION

Good Morning!
This week over at THE CUTTING CAFE we are using one of the new Pop Up Cards Regina has designed....so fun! This little TULIP Pop up Card was just perfect for me to make this week, as I had a Thank You to make. There is a business in the next town over that sells plants and flowers...5 years ago when they opened we had stopped in there to look around. The owner overheard my daughter Emily saying excitedly that they had a flower named Emily!! Well, he GAVE her one of her own! The next year we stopped in there to buy Mothers Day hanging baskets, and he said "you are Emily, aren't you?" and he then proceeded to GIVE her another Emily flower!! Then he made us promise to come in every year to get her flower, as he said she brought him good luck every year!
He informed me last year he still had our very first Thank you card! How cool is that!?
So, this is this years Thank You...perfect....thank you Regina for making such awesome files!

The Cutting Cafe

Good evening!

This week at THE CUTTING CAFE we were asked to use a pinwheel file.

 I used the file: Pinwheel Sentiment Template.

This pinwheel file could easily be addicting! I watched a video recently of someone who made a bunch of  little pinwheels to use as embellishments for scrapbooking pages....and it would be so easy with this file to adjust it to be smaller....how fun! I think I will definitely have to try it when school is done!

I hope you get the chance to stop by THE CUTTING CAFE BLOG and check out what the rest of the DT did with their Pinwheel files!

Hope you all have a great week!

Saturday Paper A La Mode

Hello!!

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Saturday Paper A La Mode...and it is a FUN one!

This weeks sponsors are: TOADSTOOL PRINTABLES and

ART WILD FLOWERS DIGI.

For my card I used: DAISY CLIP ART from Toadstool Printables and digital papers from 

Art Wild FlowersDigi.

The challenge this week is to make a card that moves.

Here is a short video of it....

The Curly Frame stamp and die-cut out are from My Creative Time, 

and I used an Action Wobble for my moving flower.

My sentiment is from CardzTv stamp set Mini Messages.

Saturday Paper A La Mode Challenge....

Hello! Is the weather getting nicer where you live? I think it is supposed to be fairly nice here this weekend.

Ok, on to the Saturday Paper A La Mode Challenge for this week....

Challenge: Sparkle and Shine

This week we have two sponsors:

Sasayki Glitter Digital Stamps

and

The Fantasy Art of Niki Burnette

I have used MY LADYBUG from Sasayki Glitter Digital Stamps for my framed baby gift.

I added Wink of Stella to several areas on the image for my sparkle/shine.

I made this for a gal at work who has now just had her baby. She had said her baby's room was going to be purple and gray and maybe some white, thus the color scheme. I even found a cute little stuffed Lamb to go with it!

I hope you will stop by and check out our challenge-and then feel compelled to make something up for it to enter!

Saturday Paper A La Mode is over on The OUTLAWZ site....if you haven't joined yet, let me know and I can send you an invite! You will find lots of challenges and inspiration there!!

Hope you'll stop by again real soon!

P.S. I have a few pics of my craft room HERE if you care to take a peek.

A quick craft room tour....

Hello! This week for THE CUTTING CAFE, Regina thought it would be fun to share some pics of our craft rooms! I can't wait to check everyone's out! You can find them on THE CUTTING CAFE BLOG on April 21rst!
So, here are a few pics of my new craft room-it is not as big as my last one, but that is ok. We made the old craft room into a super sweet double room for my youngest daughter...so giving up the space was totally fine with me!
I wanted to go with a soft color of blue-and I love the color I picked.  I also wanted hardwood floors, so no more carpet!! I went with a whitish wood floor, and again, I love it-so glad I didn't go with a darker one as it would have made my room look even smaller! My hubby did a great job!!

And I have to say that I also love the chair I picked out for my birthday for my room, isn't it pretty?!! I has some light colors too, and is a paisley print. My grand daughters name is Paisley, so of course I like it even more!

Hope you will stop by and check out the DT's craft rooms, and don't forget that THE CUTTING CAFE has a sister store now also, where you can find all sorts of crafty goodness and personalized stamps too-at THE CUTTING CAFE SHOP.
