I have two challenges I'm on the Design Team of that have new challenges starting today.
The first is The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Digi Challenge #2 and the 2nd one is for Paper Playtime.

First, let me welcome you to The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Digi Challenge #2!! Can I just tell you that I LOVE being on this Digi Team?!?!?!!!! This is an awesome group full of talent, kindness, support, and laughs. I hope you'll take the time to visit The Queen's Royal Digi Ch#2 post and see all the Design Team Member's projects. It will blow you away!

I made more than one project for this challenge. I just couldn't resist. I love the images from one of our sponsors, DUDE TIME DOODLES, so much that I couldn't just use one of them - I had to use them all! LOL

This first card is a TALL Card. Tall cards are cut 9" x 8" and scored at 4". They fit perfectly into a Business Size #10 envelope. Here are all the details:

  • A2 size card (5 1/2" x 4 1/4")
  • Scarecrow from DUDE TIME DOODLES
  • Ribbon from Stampin' Up
  • Button added to hat just for fun (love buttons!)
  • Background paper from Echo Park and cut at 3.5 inches with LACY LABELS

  • Image colored with pencils, chalk, markers, and anything else I had laying around

Sweet Cupcake

I just love cupcake cards.  My friend, Janis, at Pausedreamenjoy.blogspot.com had a cupcake bloghop sometime in the summer and I got addicted to all the different cupcake shapes available on the Cricut cartridges.
I have used the shaped cupcakes as thank you notes, (Sweet as can Be), just saying hello (Hey Cupcake!),  affection type notes (I am sweet on you) and of course, the traditional birthday theme.
After all, who doesn't love cupcakes?
The Cricut Sweet Shop cartridge even has cupcake boxes to put cupcakes in!
Can't get much sweeter than that!
Have a great Halloween weekend folks!

We've Moved!


Happy Friday everyone!

I made several of these cards to notify friends of my new address.


Now, on to the recipe for this card:  A2 size card base was cut from MyPaperStudio Kraft cardstock.  Background mat was cut at 4 inches by 5 1/4 inches.  The house is from the Cricut Pop Up Neighborhood cartridge at 4 inches.  This cartridge was supplied to Circle Members by ProvoCraft.  White Ribbon was from my stash.

I really like this cartridge.  It has a lot of shapes and is very versatile.

Have a great weekend!

Bonnie Card!

I hope everyone is having a super day!  I have been feeling kind of froggy with the cooler weather and have been in the mood to read.  I send this HUGE card to my friend's daughter recently.
My intention was to cut this card to fit an A2 size envelope.  Well, it cut out about six inches high!  OOPS!  So, I decided Bonnie would love it anyway!
Bonnie's favorite color is purple so I tried to incorporate those colors in the card.
I hope you guys have a fabulous day!
