wild card birthday!

Hello Ladies!

Today is a beautiful day, and I am so blessed and thankful for the day that God has given me. I hope that you all feel the same way. 

I have a cute little card and envelope to show you all today. I made it with the wild card cartridge.

When I got this cart I was a little intimidated by it but once I tried it. It is SUPER EASY to use. 

The one thing I would tell you is cut the envelope first. Then cut the card and layers. 

I made this cute little birthday card. 

I embossed the cupcake with d'vine swirls and then added stickles for the icing. 

The envelope had little candles that it cut out so I used worn lipstick distress in to make them show up. 

I think it turned out super cute. 

well that's all folks.

Until next time crafty hugs

Butterfly card

Hi everyone! Happy Friday!
I just wanted to share a quick card with you all. I actually submitted this card as a design team entry and I am eagerly  waiting to see if I made the team.

I used Everyday pop up cards for the butterfly and I cut it @3 and 1/2.

I spritzed the background with homemade "glimmer" spray. I used the doily lace punch to add a boarder to the edge.
I used a CTMH stamp and embossed it with green embossing powder.
I really like the way the card turned out.

I hope that y'all have a great weekend.
I plan on getting some more projects done, so that I can keep up on posting.
Thanks for stopping by

Little squit gun shaker card

Hey everyone! super long time no post lol.  I wont bore you with the blah blah cause I have no excuse for not posting. I hope that you have been doing well. I have missed you all so much. 
I have a cute little card to share with you that I made for the b is for boy cricut lite cart. 

The is is a standard a2 size.  the main thing I wanted to share with you is how I made the shaker squirt gun.I cut all the pieces for the squirt gun at 4 inches. then I re-cut just the top blue layer. I added a piece of clear acetate and then used foam dots all the way around the edge to create an area that would be the shaker  part and filled it with superfine glitter. It was easier than I though. This card was really fun to make. 
I hope you will give it a try.
Until next time

Gobble til ya wobble

Hi Guy and Dolls and Happy Friday! well as usual the holiday season is sneaking upon us. I love this time of year when there is a crispness in the air and all the leaves are beautifully colored. I can't wait until Thanksgiving for the pumpkin pie. Yum! Its my fav.
So today I have a cute Thanksgiving card for ya.

I cut the little turkey from simply charmed. I used a homemade "action wobble" on him. He really wobbles around.
For the action wobble I  bought some small springs from the hardware store and cut them in half.Then with my trusty glue gun I ran on end of the spring between some small circles of cardstock and glued them. Repeat on the other side and there you have it homemade action wobble.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a great day and wonderful weekend!

Hey Crafty Pals!
I'm back, well for now. I hope that I can back into the swing of things again. I actually have something to share with you today. 
Today is my Mom's birthday and I had to make her a card. 
I wanted to make her a pop-up card and I tried, TRUST ME I DID TRY!!!!
I am so upset with provo craft that when they created Everyday pop-up cards that they didn't include instructions on how to assemble the pop ups!!! 


****HELLO PC, WHAT THE HECK WERE YOU THINKING. THIS CARTRIDGE IS SO FRUSTRATING!!!!!*****
ok enough ranting...

Well I used the birthday cake on pg64 of everyday pop up cards. cut @ 4 1/2.


I used cuttlebug folders 
Herringbone on the candles
Swiss dot on the base 
de`vine swirl on "frosting"


I used a MS doily lace punch on the sides.
All the paper is Colorbok just from different packs. 


I added glitter on the swirls and used glossy accents on the flames. 




I hope to be back tomorrow with a Thanksgiving card. Thanks for stopping by and Please let me know what ya think!

Where am I?

Hi everyone! I know that it has been a super long time since  I have posted anything. I wanted to let you all know that I miss you all very much and I will be back soon. I have been going through some personal things and haven't been crafting much. On a lighter note, my Hubby and I are creating a craft room for me. I will then have my own space and I can get all my crafting junk  goodies out of the corner of my living room. It is just really hard for me to get creative when my stuff  is jam packed in to a space smaller than 5x5, and every time I try to create I get overwhelmed by trying to find the right things. I will be back soon and Thank you for all those who asked about me. I miss reading your lovely comments.

Hi Fellow Crafters!

I hope that you are all enjoying this hump day!

I am really looking forward to this weekend. I have a lot going on. On Saturday, we have a wedding to go to for my husband’s co-worker. I am a little nervous because the reception is a the country club and lets face it I am just a small time country girl. I know nothing about country club etiquette and I am worried that I will use the wrong fork and it might cause the world to stop turning or something. Just kidding. But I AM NERVIOUS ABOUT THAT! And on Sunday its my BIRTHDAY!!!! I will be 31! I was so worried about turning 30 that I cried for days but this year has been full of wonderful things and I learnt a lot about myself. So bring on 31 I am ready for it!!!

Ok back to the wedding. I had to make a card for the happy couple and I am not sure that I like this one but for now this is what I am going with but I may change my mind at the last minute.

I used the sweetheart’s cartridge to cut out the Mr. and Mrs. Image. I used purple cardstock and then cut the shadow on a shimmery purple velum. I add a little doodle to that.

Then I placed vellum over the mat layer only at the top to create a muted look. BTW that paper is from a black and white slice stack by making memories. I found it at Tuesday morning and couldn't pass it up for 1.99.

The ribbon is from wal-mart. The picture doesn’t really show it but it has shimmer as well.

I think it might have taken me 15 minutes to cut it all out and put it together. Super cute and super easy.

Well that is all I have for today, Thanks for stopping by!

I've been MIA!!!!

Hi Everyone!

I am so sorry that I have been MIA for the past few weeks.

I have missed posting and commenting on everyone blogs, but I have been having internet troubles.

So I thought today I would give you all a little update. I finally got my cricut back, but When I received it I kinda lost my mojo. I did make 200 bookmarks for the volunteers at my church but silly me forgot to take a picture. Other than that I have been doing a few cards and playing with some new goodies that I have gotten.

Let’s see I guess I can list some of the new things that I got.

Cricut Carts:

Everyday pop up cards

Wrap it up

Simply charmed

B is for boy (lite cart)

Celebrate with flourish (lite cart)

Sugar and spice (lite cart)

Bloom (lite cart)

Block party. (lite cart)

I finally got a heat gun and some embossing powder. I have to say that I must be doing something wrong because it just doesn’t turn out right for me, so that is something that I have been playing with.

I gotten a few stamp sets from my local big lots that were only 2 bucks.  I couldn’t believe that. Most of them were inkadinkado or Hampton arts. I have been putting my stamps in cd cases, and trying to get them organized.

I have gotten several new paper stacks that are super cute.

Some of the stuff was early birthday presents since my Bday is on the 14^th of August. I cant wait to see what my hubby got me. I kinda know but I just cant wait to get my hands on it.

Lets see other news in my life, My job hunting my have paid off. I have an interview on Thursday. The manager sounded positive that I would get the job. Its not much, waitress at coffee house but any job is good. I have not worked in 7 years because of my back and I am ready to get back out there and give it a try. Maybe it will help ease the bickering between hubs and me. He is such a wonderful man and great provider, He has always taken care of me, since I was not able to work but I think that sometimes, it gets to him, when there is things that we would like to do and cant. Please just pray that I get the Job, I think that it would lift my spirits a bunch.

This month has been hard for me. I found out that 2 of my friends have cancer. A good high school friend was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and he is only 31.

My best friend that I spend so much time with was diagnosed with leukemia. I am just praying that they will both make it through and that Gods will be done for them. It has been very taxing on my nerves knowing that they are both suffering. Ok enough of that.

I think that is all that I have to share today. I have a card or twenty that I might post pictures of this week and I will be back to let you know if I got the job! Fingers crossed!
