Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge #3 - Create A Critter

Here is my card I created for the CCCC challenge #3 - use the Create A Critter cartridge on Two Scraptastic Gals.
I came across this challenge whilst blog hopping the other day and thought this is a fantastic idea for us Cricut Addicted Owners who just have to have that "Cart" and make one cut and put it on the shelf for a long time or am I the only one that does that. LOL.


Have a great day and Happy Crafting

Card Patterns - Sketch 99

Here is my quick take on the sketch from Card Patterns, it has been a long, long time since I have participated in one of there challenges.

I used a cupcake embossing folder over the designer papers and then the Happy Birthday embossing folder just on the top part of the card.

And because it was a quick put together I used a chipboard embellishment and added a red pearl for the cherry. (Sorry about the glare).

Have a great day and happy crafting.

FIF #8 - Give A Hoot

I was blog hopping yesterday and came across Flaunt It Fridays blog and loved the concept of the challenges the ladies are doing, so I thought I would join in.

So this is my take on FIF #8 - Give A Hoot - Trash Can Bear.

I do have a person in mind for this card, (I forgot my nieces birthday) so the challenge was perfect timing.

Have a great day and happy crafting.

Oh My

It has been a very long time since I have posted or even participated in a card challenge, I do hope to rectify this situation very soon.

Thank you to my new followers, I hope to have something to show you very soon.

Have a great day and Happy Crafting

Blog Award from Craftychick...

I received "I got the Attitude! Blog Award" from Sam at Craftychick Cards.

Thank you Sam...xox

Now I have to tell you three things that make me - "ME"! Then I can pass this award onto three worthy bloggers of my choice. (Oh dear - that is going to be difficult).

Here goes:

1. I am a little addicted to purchasing paper and not liking to use the really "Nice" pieces - I must admit I have a few - ok a lot of "Nice" papers sitting around.

2. I am a bit anal when it comes to white cardstock - it has to be white or it is no good.

3. I may also have a little fetish for Tins... I do have a couple of storage containers with a number of tins in it, I think they are too "Nice" to use as well.

I could go on about my boxes under my desk/table, but for the ladies who have visited they know all too well about them. LOL

OK enough about me, now I need to pass this award onto 3 worthy bloggers....

Carrie from Stampin & Scrapin, I met Carrie through the Cricut Message board and have become friends, although Carrie has not blogged for awhile, that is probably my fault as I talked her into going to the markets with me and now we also have some of our creations in a shop and are venturing into a new online handmade only site....we both encourage each other to keep going when we lose our mojo or just having a bad day.

Sharon from Skippys Place, we met on the Cricut Message board. I visited Sharon last Christmas when I was over in WA and Sharon came over for a holiday to my place in January to celebrate her 30th Birthday, Sharon inspired me to use the MPT and we bounce ideas off each other all the time.

I am at a loss for the 3rd award, I will have to come back to this one.... Sorry, there are too many to narrow it down. LOL

Have a great day and happy crafting.
