Sew... Happy Valentines!

Before I get to my post I have to say I had a panic attack this week.  I went to get my favorite red paper out, Paper Trey Ink Pure Poppy - seriously the perfect red, anyway, I'm OUT!  Hello!  It's Valentines!  I kinda need red.  Luckily I had some cheaper red cardstock, not my favorite but it'll do until I can restock.  So on to my post...

Hello Crafters and Bakers! Today Georganne are doing our monthly challenge. I make one of her cookies into a card and she makes one of my cards into a cookie. The cookie that I recreated is this one:

Isn't it so cute?  I especially love the little buttons in the corners. You can see her post HERE.  If you have never been to her blog you have to check it out.  Not only are her creations A-MAZ-ING her blog posts are so funny.  It is definitely worth going there.  :)  Here is my take on her cookie:

Have to say, I can't take a straight picture to save my life.  lol  I really liked the way this card turned out.  I only wish I made the ribbon holes farther apart on the heart to make the X more noticeable.  Lesson learned.  :)  

I wish you could see the embossing better on this picture.  It's tiny little hearts.  So adorable.  Glad I found that embossing folder.  Head on over to Georganne's blog to see what she made of mine.  I can't wait to see it myself!  :)

Episode 64: V is for Victory!

Happy Monday!  This card has two purposes.  The first is this card is my birthday card for my nephew.  He turned 15 and is really into Spartans, Romans, history, etc.  I know he will just love this card.  The second purpose is this card was made for the Paper Playtime Challenge.  This challenge is only for one week.  You can make any type of project you want, you only need to incorporate a charm somewhere on it.  Easy Peasy.  :)  Hope you enjoy...

Episode 36: FIF Pucker Up, Buttercup!

This project is for the Flaunt it Friday's challenge.  The challenge is to use the lips that are found on the Indie Art Cricut Cartridge.  If you don't have that cartridge you can still participate by making a project w/ some lips on it.  :)  If you are the winner of the challenge your name is put into a drawing for this months prize.

So when I saw these honkin' lips the saying "Pucker Up, Buttercup!" came to my mind and I just had to use it.  I printed the saying on the cardstock with my computer.  The lips are cut at 3.5".  I also covered them w/ XMas Red stickles to make them more sassy.  Then to add some fun to the project I put it on an Action Wobble.  Make sure you watch the video to see them in action.  :)  LOL
