Super Boy!

Happy Monday!

Hopefully, you had a nice weekend. I spent Saturday cleaning and re-organizing my office/studio space. It's amazing how much better in it feels in there now. I feel like my creative juices are flowing again.

This is another card that I have had designed my my Gypsy for awhile now.  

The shield is from the Create a Critter card. I used my Gypsy to weld two of them together to form the base of the card. The boy is from the Playtime cart.

The papers are Core-dinations and DCWV.

I used Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-642 Boy Mates Assortment, for his face.

I think he is "super" cute!

I have three winners that I need to announce! I have chosen them, I will be notifying them today, by email, and announcing their names in tomorrows post.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Happy Monday!

It feels good to be up and around again. I have have been terribly sick the last two weeks and I have missed all of you! I am starting to feel a little like myself again and I was even able to spend some time today with my bestie, we went shopping, to lunch, and then spent a little quality time with our Cricuts. 

I want to let you know, that I know, that I need to announce the winners of my two giveaways. The first winner, from last weeks Flaunt it Friday Blog Hop, has been picked but I am having problems with my comment system. When it is back up and running correctly, I will announce the winner. The second giveaway is for yesterday's Thank You Gift's Blog Hop. I am going to keep the comments open for a second day, just in case someone had to work yesterday and was unable to hop with us. I will pick the winner tonight and announce both winners tomorrow morning. 
 

  So on to today's post....

I have to admit something to all of you... when I first saw the "Shall We Dance?" Cricut cart, I wasn't impressed. In fact, I was pretty sure that I wasn't going to ever have a need for that cart. Ever. I have no little ballerina's in my life, not a fan of Dancing with the Stars or So you Think You Can Dance.., and none of the images were appealing. Even after a couple of my PKS design team members made super cute cards with the cart... I still wasn't feeling it. 

Well, that all changed when I actually held the cart in my hands. When I was able to see the images up close and flip through the booklet... I realized that I was wrong! Now... in my defense I will say that I probably will not use this cart as a normal everyday cart, but all I could think of when I started looking at it was "Nutcracker". The Nutcracker Ballet is my most favorite video/music to watch and listen to during the holiday's. Each image reminded me of a different part of the ballet. 

This is the dance of the snowflakes

This is my snowflake card.

Isn't she pretty!?!

The ballerina is from page 22. She was cut at 4". The purple top note shape behind her was cut from the Playtime cart at 4 1/4". I outlined it with some Martha Stewart clear glitter. I also added a little glitter to her dress.

 The papers are Cosmo Cricket and Coordinations Gemstone paper.

 I wanted to use a Peachy Keen face stamp but he face was to small, so I cut the original eyes and mouth.

So... I admit it... I was wrong about the Shall We Dance? cart. :)

  I will be back tomorrow with another Nutcracker card and the winners of my two giveaways!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Make me merry card and a announcement!

Happy Wednesday!

I have an exciting announcement to make. My friend's Sandra and Janis have started a new challenge blog called "Flaunt it Fridays". This blog is all about "flaunting" our Cricut cartridges and each Friday there will be a new challenge, which will focus on "Flaunting" a specific cut from a Cricut cart. I was honored, when they asked me to be a part of the winter design team. Our first challenge is this Friday and to celebrate we are having a blog hop! It's going to be lots of fun and there will be some blog candy thrown in too!

In-fact they are having a give away right now! 

To celebrate our launch of Flaunt It Fridays we are giving away one set of Peachy Keen Stamps

Head on over to the Flaunt it Fridays blog, grab the blinkie, and leave a message. You never know, you might just win a set of Peachy Keen stamps! 

Now on to today's card!

The little girl and her cat were cut from the new Playtime cart. She was cut at 4 1/4". The frame/label was cut from the Lacy Labels cart at 5".

The papers are DCWV and My Minds Eye. The sentiment stamp is from this stamp set.

I gave the cat a bling collar. I figured she deserved it... I also drew in her little cat face. the cart cuts out eye and a nose but they were super small.

I used the new Peachy Keen stamp set called Happy Lashes for her face. I think this is my favorite set right now. :)

Don't forget that the 1st challenge and grand opening blog hop, for the Flaunt it Fridays Challnge blog, will be this Friday!

I hope you have a wonderful day! See you tomorrow!
