Make a Wish! Cupcake Birthday Card

Hi Paper Lovers...

Oh my goodness...we have a TON of birthdays coming up and I went to my stash and GASP....I hardly had any Birthday cards made!!!!! So I got to work right away =) This card was totally inspired by the new DCWV Celebrations Stack....oh my flippin goodness....I havent been this excited for a paper stack since the Flower Shower stack this Spring!!! This paper is DARLING and its on SALE right now at Joanns!!!




I kind of like the way this one turned out even with my boo boo....My YouTube video is below....I ended up adding some stitching around the base and at the top of my banner where I made a boo boo!!! You'll see it in my video =) Thanks for stopping by!!!

Card Creations and More by C's Challenge #1

Hi Paper Lovers....

Christina from Card Creations and More has started doing challenges on her blog! She asked me to be a Guest Designer for this weeks challenge. Thanks so much Christina...that is very sweet of you! This weeks challenge was to make anything BUT a card. WHAT??? LOL...it was for sure a challenge for me. It actually worked out perfectly cause my Dad just turned 78 and I needed a gift for him. What in the heck do you get a 78 year old that doesnt really "need" anything??? You make him a frame and put a pic of his grandkids in it....or at least that is what I did =)

The frame is one of those plain wooden ones from Michaels. He loves Monkeys so I used the Animal Crackers line from DCWV. I really LOVED how it turned out and it only took me like 20 minutes!!! The hardest part was waiting for the Glossy Accents to dry =)

Please head on over to Christina's blog by clicking HERE and play in her fun challenge this week....see what you can come up with!

Scrappy Mom's Challenge-Poodles of Fun

Hi Paper Lovers....

Welcome to Scrappy Mom's very 1st Terrific Tuesday Challenge! They will have 2 Cricut Cartridge based challenges a month - on the 2nd and 4th Tuesdays. You will have until the following Monday to submit your entry.

All submitions will be entered into a monthly prize drawing - January's drawing will be for the soon-to-be released Valentine's stamp set, Love Notes! It's so new I can't even show you a picture yet - it's still in spec at the manufacturer!

Now, onto the challenge - this week's cartridge is Birthday Bash. If you don't have Birthday Bash you can use a similar cut from a different cartridge. We want everyone to play along and, hopefully, have a blast!

I dont have Birthday Bash =( so I used one of my all time favorite cartridges....Create a Critter. The sentiment is from the Scrappy Mom's stamp set Amusing Animals. Click HERE to see all the sentiments from that set. Click HERE to see all the AMAZING projects from this AMAZING Design Team and to link up your entry. Hope you can play along and good luck!!!
