Make a Wish

Good Evening All!!
I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving. My family and I had a great day very relaxing.
It has been well over a month since my last post :-(. I've been crafting, but just can't find the time to get projects posted. I'm hoping to find more time to participate in all the great challenges out there.
I ordered my first set of Peachy Keen Stamps (super excited); I've wanted some for a very long time. I love seeing all the super cute projects created with the stamps. This week over on the Peachy Keen Blog: Sketch Challenge 65 w/ a Twist: Paper Piecing. For this challenge no Peachy Keen Stamp required.
I created this card using my "I". I really like the Kate's Kitchen cartridge.

As always thanks for stoping by :-)

Hello All!!!

The weekend is almost here and we have no major plans, I'm jumping around doing the happy dance right about now... :-). That means the kids and I can bake and craft all weekend. What better way to start our summer off, being today was the last day of school for the kids?

Well on to a project I created with a new cart I picked up a couple of weeks ago. Life's a Party, as I was flipping through the handbook I saw this cut and I knew it was perfect for the pictures we took at the zoo last summer. Lol (can you tell I used a new sticky sticky mat).

Survival Kit

Hello All,

I hope everyone is having a blessed Sunday. I would like to apologize for the long absence from my blog. Everyday life seem to throw so many curve balls in one direction I figure it would be okay to let a week go by without crafting and blogging. Then before I know it one week turned into two weeks, two weeks turned into three weeks and so on. I looked at the calendar and a month had past, wow....

I'm so glad to be back crafting!!! I promised myself I would take at least one hour a day to work on a project or post a blog, so now on to crafting.

I made this survival kit for my DD's teacher. I had the idea in my head and had all intentions on having it done for Teacher Appreciation Week....well that week came and went and the idea was still in my head. This weekend I was able to complete it and it will go to school Monday morning with my DD.

Challenge: Fantabulous Cricut "Teacher Feature"

 
 
 
 

Recipe:
Locker Talk Cart for the images
Cricut Classic Font
Pooh Font Set
Paper: DCWV Grade School Stack and Life's Little Occasions
Ribbon and diy mailbox found in the dollar bin from Target

As Always Thanks for Stopping by,

Good Evening Everyone,

This layout has been sitting on my scrap table for over two weeks, I finally was able to vision what I wanted to do and put it together in the layout.

  Paper Craft Planet (Scrappy Sunday) is featuring Noell Hyman who runs Paperclipping.com. Noell provided videos for each of the challenges for the month of March.  There is still time to head over to PCP and check out the challenge -- play the video and make a page following the flexible template directions.

So here's what I came up with using a flexible template.
