Cricut Cardz Challenge #92

"Make a card for Halloween using an owl from any cartridge(s) and using any colors you'd like."
The owl was cut from Happy Hauntings at 4".

I plan on printing this out and framing it.

Paper Cutz Challenge #108

"We're "Going to the Pumpkin Patch"! Make a card, LO or craft project for Fall using Cricut cut, hand stamped, or digital stamped pumpkins, and any colors you’d   like! "
This was cut from Happy Hauntings.

Paper Cutz Challenge #107

"Zoo Times Two"! Create a card, layout, or papercraft using at least 2 Cricut cut or stamped images of zoo animals. Add some dimension or bling and use any colors or occasion you'd like."
I made a little Halloween bag for my daughter to fill with goodies to give to her teacher. I know that bats aren't typically your cute and fuzzy animal at the zoo, but I love bats!!! The witch was made in Cricut Craftroom. It is my first project and I think I did a pretty good job in sizing the pieces which was sort of hard to do. I used my new favorite cartridge that I got at Michael's yesterday for $19. I love Mini Monsters!!!

 

Cricut Cardz Challenge #90

" Challenge #90 is "Card Crazy"! Make a card using the card feature from any cartridge you'd like, using any colors, and any occasion you'd like."

Lookie, Lookie

I went to Michael's this morning looking for clear stamps and couldn't resist going into the isle where the Cricut stuff is and look what I found for $44.99...I couldn't believe it. I have been wanting one for a while but couldn't really afford to order one and pay for shipping too. I am so excited!!! Mr. Nosey, otherwise known as Farley, just had to check out what I was doing, so he got in the shot..LOL

Cricut Cardz Challenge #83

Paper Cutz Challenge Entry

Here is my entry for Mary's Paper Cutz Challenge over at 
http://www.papercutzchallenge.blogspot.com/ . Since I recently moved to Myrtle Beach, SC, I couldn't resist using the starfish from Life is a Beach Cartridge. I used it on the border setting cut at 4". The letters are from Plantin Schoolbook.

Birthday cards

I made a couple of birthday cards today..one for my daughter and one for my grandson who will be 5 in a few weeks. 

 

More fun at Myrtle Beach, SC

We are having a blast in our new town. We love going to the beach and just hanging out. The water is so warm already. I wonder what it will be like in July and August! We have started moving things into our new house but haven't had the official closing yet. It keeps getting postponed for one reason or another. Hopefully tomorrow. Hope I didn't just jinx myself again!! Here are a few pics I have taken over the past couple of weeks.

 

Myrtle Beach

The kids had a blast in the water and it was very warm compared to NH and CT beaches.

We are moving!!!

We are moving to South Carolina from Massachusetts tomorrow!!! My Cricut has been packed away for about a week now and I miss it so much. We will be staying at a hotel/motel for a while so I won't be able to use my Cricut then either. I'm so sad.  :( I will be posting pictures of sunny Myrtle Beach soon!!!!!

Monday Challenge #2 - Cute as a Bug

I made this card for a challenge over at My Card Spot. You have to make a project that includes a bug. I sure hope a snail qualifies as a bug in this case. I also made a new flower that I learned from Erin at SpantastiKreations. 

 

Cricut Cardz Challenge #68

This is my entry for Mary's challenge over at Cricut Cardz. You have to make a card with a house. I tried to make the card rustic looking but it just came out ugly. The house is gray with a maroon trim.

My Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday-My Pink Stamper

Throwback Thursday Challenge- Episode 175

I made this card for Throwback Thursday Challenge-Episode 175 over at My Creative Time. You have to make a St. Patrick's card. I wanted to make something different than a cute leprechaun so I came up with this design. It came out masculine looking so I will give it to my husband, who is Irish.

Cricut Cardz Challenge #64

Here is my entry for the Cricut Cardz Challenge #64. You have to make a bookmark using a Cricut Cartridge and any color. I used "Just Because" Cards and cut my bookmark at 6". It probably could be cut at 7" but I'm going to give it to my daughter and it's the perfect size for her. 

My Pink Stamper Challenge- Feathered friend

Here is my entry for yet another My Pink Stamper Challenge. You have to make something with a feathered friend on it. My feathered friend is very hard to spot but I try to be different. Thank you for visiting.

Birthday card for my sister

I made this for my sister who has a birthday in March. She loves to quilt so I thought she would like this.

 

Cards for my nieces

I made some cards to send to my nieces. They have pet rats so I used the mouse in Create a Critter to portray the rat. I flipped one of them.

 

Poppy the new puppy and kids

I love taking pictures of my kids and animals just as much as I love to paper craft.
