My hubby's Squigglefly Bday card...

I made my hubby's Birthday card tonight (for tomorrow). I used this cute little doggie from Squigglefly. It is called: Cute Dog with mix n match sentiments by Brian Lock.
We have been dog sitting my daughters puppy nearly every night for it seems a couple months now, and to say the least my hubby is over it--so I thought I would let him know that he is still TOP DOG!

and here is the inside:

I will write Happy Birthday inside too.

The Cutting Cafe and Nail Polish Holders!

This week over at THE CUTTING CAFE is all about NAIL POLISH HOLDERS AND CARDS! I have made mine with the

NAIL POLISH BOX HOLDER TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILE

and I know I will be using this one again and again--as soon as my daughter Emily sees it-she is going to want to have a few, and maybe we will even have a nail party with her friends...it sounds like so much fun!

This is such an awesome template, and it is SOOO easy to put together! Love it Regina!!

 I also used a new stamp/die set from My Creative Time for the butterfly and the sentiment called: Chunky Jar Accesories.

Make sure to check out THE CUTTING CAFE BLOG on Wednesday evening to see ALL the Dt projects using the Nail sets--and for your chance to win 3 free files for yourself!!

Cute bag from THE CUTTING CAFE...

Squigglefly Blog Hop...

Hello all! 
Thank you for joining us for the Squigglefly 'Shy Bears' Blog Hop. 
This hop is dedicated to Melissa Chettle and her son Justin. 

Melissa was a friend of Squigglefly Design Team member Charlene. She died very unexpectedly at the end of June, at 43 years young!

 At the end of April, Melissa asked Charlene to make her a bunch of Shy Bears cards - any image, any theme, any colours . . . just Shy Bears because she loved them all!
(In case you're not familiar with them, ShyBears are a creation of Lynne Stansbery's, a fabulous artist at Squigglefly. There is a whole section in the store, with so many fun images-click HERE to go check them out!)
  
Melissa didn't get the chance to see the cards that Charlene made, but we wanted to support Charlene in her request to dedicate this hop to Melissa. Melissa, this hop is for you!

 Charlene has listed more info about Melissa on her personal post. Please visit all the blogs and be sure to leave a comment. One lucky winner will receive 3 free SHY BEAR images of their choice, so be sure to leave your email along with your comment in case you are the lucky winner!
For my card today, I have used: Heart Cloud Bear.

P.s. you must leave a comment on all the blogs in the hop today, to be in the draw. And the WINNER of the blog hop will be announced MONDAY morning at the same time as the winner for the weekly challenge, so make sure to check out the Squigglefly Challenge Blog to see if the lucky winner is you!

Here is the hop list in case you get lost:

WOW-That is a lot of years of wisdom. We are having a party for her on Sunday, and will be getting 5 generation pictures--how exciting!
I have made my Grandma's card to fit into the My Creative Time Challenge --which is: Make a SQUARE CARD challenge. So, my card is 6x6. I have used:
MY CREATIVE TIME's (she's got a new HUGE release out---gotta check it out...AWESOME!)
Stitched Heart Layering Dies
Scallop and Stitched Circle
Just Simply Live

I also used a SU stamp, embellished with some rhinestones, flowers, button, twine and used the SU Modern Label punch. I cut out the u with my cricut.

An Awesome Card Organizer file with THE CUTTING CAFE

Hi all! Yikes...I am running late today!
This week Regina from THE CUTTING CAFE  asked us to use either the CARD ORGANIZER BOX file, the DRESSER BOX file, or the COPIC Box file. I had a really hard time deciding which file to use--as I am excited to try out the Dresser Box as soon as I get the chance too, but for today I decided to go with the CARD ORGANIZER BOX...and I love it!! It is so easy to put together!! I did this one pretty plain, as I am running so far behind schedule this week--I think even for being plain Jane,  it turned out really pretty!!

and here is a pic of it with the cards in it---and there is lots more room to add more cards too!!

You will want to make sure to stop by THE CUTTING CAFE BLOG and check out what all the other DT designed for you this week...I have already stopped by there, and there is lots of inspiration to look through!!

Thanks for stopping by!
