Enjoy Your Day

I'm back again today...

I can't believe I have actually created the time to post 5 days in a row!! Yeah me!!

That's why I love having pre-colored images just waiting for me to assemble.

This little cutie was created usuing all Momenta products, except the image. The image is from Lili of the Valley. (Isn't he cute?!!)

I am submitting this card for the following challenges :

C4C - Create a scene

The Sweet Stop - sketch challenge

Lili's Little Fairies - Spring Colors

I think I will save this card for my dad.  It's perfect for him. He loves sitting in the sun and I know he would love to spend his birthday just relaxing.

{Momenta used - Super Pad (PA2230 ) and Sticker (ST4727)}

Hope you enjoy. Have a sunny Thursday.

Birthday Bear

Hello Blog-Land!!

In an effort to maintain one of my 2012 Goals

I have a boy birthday card to show you.

Today I used an image from the Stamp Fairy

and colored it in manly colors.

I decided to try a little something different with the dots?!!

I think I like the outcome?!! What about you?

I used the sketch from The Sweet Stop

This sketch is amazing but I have to admit it was a little taxing on my brain? I couldn't figure out how to cut the main strip on an angle and have enough patterned paper to go from egde to edge. I resolved to cutting it extra big and then just trimming all of the pieces once they were on the card.

I also managed to maintain one of my other 2012 goals - to use my cricut more!!

I used the cricut to cut the star. Yeah me!!

(Don't forget you have till the end of the month to enter in

 my New Cricut Creations Challenge)

I am also entering this card for the following challenges :

Paper Sundays - Saturated Colors

Mad 4 Markers - Unusual Color Combo

(I think lime green, orange and bright blue qualify as unusual for me!!)

Well, I'm off but I hope you have a great day!!

Big Hugs

Tuesday Thankyou Twosome

Today I am going to show you two card that I created this weekend. I decided to keep these simple and clean. Pretty happy with the outcome. Take a look and then let me know what you think...

The first card was made using the sketch from The Sweet Stop.

(love this sketch - it reminds me of a scrapbook layout)

I love this soft look. This some of my all-time favorite paper. It's from the Linen Closet line of DCWV.

And this next card was created using the sketch from Sketchbook Saturday

Well, that's it - that's all for me today.

Hope everyone has a chance to get crafty today. It's good for the soul!!

Color Dare Meets Cardabilities

Hey Everyone,

I had mentioned yesterday that I would have another card to share today. I created it yesterday using my NEW Cricut cartridge. Yeah!! It's called 'Create a Critter'

And I created this little critter :

As you may or may not know, I love, love, love owls. I loved them before they were the it thing!! I think I've loved them for about 15 years. And I am obviously over the moon that they have become very readily available, not going to lie... I love seeing them in stamps, paper, embellies... all of it!!

I used the sketch from Cardabilities :

and the colors from Color Dare :

Hope you like my interpretation :

Okay well, gotta run. I'm actually posting from my in-laws and I really should go and be social. Tee! Hee! (I don't feel that guilty cause they are just sitting here, watching football.)

Have a good night!!!
