All-Sorts Challange #63











Ok So the challange at All Sorts is Dressup!

http://http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/2010/07/week-62-winner-and-top-5.html






"This week it's me Fleur to pick & I'd like to see Dressing up!
It could be fancy dress, a dress for a special event or even a classy pair of shoes - It's entirely up to you, as long as we can see a dressing up theme we'll be happy!"








So I decided I just couldnt WAIT to use my new Happy Hauntings Cartridge. So I found these adorable little mice all dressed up to trick or treat :)








The card is cut at 5 X 7 I just fell in love with that paper. I found it at Archivers tonight and just HAD to use it.. haha!








THe mice are cut at 3 and are on page 55 and 57.












I LOVE my trips to Archivers because I learn something new everytime. HOWEVER, everytime I learn something more I end up spending money to do whatever it is I just learned ha-ha! So tonight I learned about Smooch! Its much like Stickles except its not glittery just shiny. It his this very fine applicator so that makes it super to use on small cuts to give it bling :)

Fantabulous Cricut Animal Challange








I LOVE this challange so I decided to enter another card I just made :) I am just loving all the new butterfly cuts that have been on the new cartridges :) They are so adorable.




Ok so for this card I used DCWV linen closet. The card is cut at 5x7. Ribbon from my stash :) Inked all the edges. The butterflies are on the Sentimentals cartridge they are so soft and sweet I think. I have always had trouble doing a sympathy card so I decided this one would be for that :)




I hope you all enjoy!

Fantabulous Cricut Animal Challange!







So today in the mail I was so excited to find that the Rock Princess Cartridge I ordered was here already!!! I CANT BELIEVE IT!! So many cute ideas from this cartridge! So I decided to make the butterfly on page 67.






The card was cut at 5 X7 my new favorite size for cards :)



The cardstock I used was from DCWV The Black Currant Stack. I love it! It has so many beautiful pages I imagine I will be using it often. I did leave the sentiment part blank I have not decided what to use this card for. I think it will be a birthday card for my daughter :) Shhh dont tell her!



The butterfly is cut at 3 1/2 and the border was black cardstock cut at 4x6



All the edges are inked and I did add a little stickles to the butterfly for that extra pop!

Fibromyalgia Stinks!

I hate days and weeks like this. I hurt all over and I cant move without a pain someplace. I am so thankful to have a wonderful group of family and friends and a husband who is so understanding when I feel like this. I sometimes get depressed because I have all these projects I want to work on but I just cant seem to get going. Anyone else have any suggestions for me?
I take pain meds but even those dont seem to work much :( I think tonight I am going to make something. ANYTHING!

Hugs!

Just a card :)




I used the Frence Manor Cartridge :) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the peacock cut. Anyway! I cut the card at 5x7 The layer is from a small pack called Mariposa. So MANY beautiful paper for cards!!!




The peacock is cut at 4 inches the paper I used was Bazill paper. I also used stickles for the feathers :) The ribbon is from my stash and the little blue flower in the center was just a last minute add on.




The sentiment on the card is a stamp from Hobby Lobby. It was the saying we used at our wedding in November :) Yes still newly weds :)




Ok so here it is I hope you all like it and hope you all play along!

Strawberry Dreams :)




Hi Everyone!




Tonight I wanted to do a challange at Fantabulous Cricut :) The challange was to make something sweet.


Challenge Me Monday #18
We have the sweetest, coolest and the most delicious treats for you this week at Fantabulous Cricut!
Challenge #18
Cool Yummy Treat w/ Optional Shape Card
Create a yummy treat shape card (optional) or project, I can't wait to see your delicious creations.... mmmmmmm.
*As always, there does need to be a Cricut cut somewhere on your project, it does not have to be the item listed in the theme, though the theme does need to be incorperated as well.










Sooooo I recently got the preserves cartridge. It has the cutest little strawberry! So I decided to do a strawberry card. I used the cut on page 53 I used my gypsy to weld both base pieces together at 5 .25. After that I used the red glitter paper to go on the front so its a bright shiny strawberry! I used green glitter paper and also silver glitter paper for all the pieces. :)




I hope you enjoy this fun card!
