Happy Birthday Mel!

Hi Everyone!

Just want to share the sweet Birthday Card I made for my daughter Melanie.  I know she is an adult but at times I still see her as a teenager.

To me she will always be "Pretty in Pink" and sweet 16!.  The inspiration for my card of course is one of Krista's awesome digis and the movies, Pretty in Pink and Sixteen Candles!

Everything I used for my Tri Shutter card came from my stash.  You can find some wonderful tutorials on You Tube and Splitcoast Stampers.

I am entering my my card into Saturated Canary Challenge Inspired by a Movie.  By the way Mel loved her card!  Thanks Trista for making such gorgalicious images!!!!!

"Anything Goes" Booklets

Hi Everyone!

It's time for our new challenge at Simply Create Too. Our theme this time is an easy one.  What can be easier than "Anything Goes"! 

I decided to alter a few of my must have booklets.  Staying on track with my new goals for this year everything came from my stash.

I must confess that I went a little crazy over the holidays and my blood sugar went wacky!  Needless to say I am no longer in denial.  I have to admit that I am truly a Type 2 Diabetic, who does not want to give herself insulin injections!

It really was an eye opener.  I have to keep track of my carb intake and prick myself twice a day..  yeah ouch!  Naturally I had to craftify my log book and "Eat out Guide"..lol  

It is truly a happy day when I can treat myself to a fast food burger and 1 or maybe 2 fries.    I can really say that pricking myself is not, I repeat not one of my favorite things...lol  

At least now my altered books give me a little chuckle and are much nicer to look at.

I am entering my creations into the following challenges:

• Inspire me Fridays Anything Goes
• Simply Create Anything Goes

Hope to see you all join in the fun at Simply Create Too!

"Let it Snow"

Hi Everyone!

It's time for our new challenge at Simply Create Too.  Our theme for the next two weeks is  "Let it Snow".

I made these cute little mini albums for my crafty friends.  Everything I used came from my endless stash supply.    

Each mini was made from a single 12 x 12 piece of paper.  CeeCee made a great tutorial on YouTube here.  They were really super simple to make and turned out so darn cute!

I used all my favorite tools, my cuttlebug some MS punches, Nesties and some embossing folders.  My resolution this year is to try and use only my stash when I create.

I am hoping to put a giant dent or maybe deplete my supplies so I can make room and actually see what I have.

I will be entering my creations into the following challenges:

• ABC E for Embossing
• Aud Sentiments Winter
• Crafters Circle Theres no business like snow business
• Crafts and Me Winter Wonderland
• Crafty Catz Anything Goes
• Crafty Creations Anything Goes
