Monday Madness.....Imagine That!

Happy Monday!

her Summer Fun “Guest Designer” Wednesday!

I must say, this is a really BIG deal for me.
I have been inspired by Ruthie’s
creations since the first day I started my blog:)

So...what makes you think about summer???

I remember summer when I was a kid and getting to go
to Cedar Point. I can’t believe I would ride those rides…
(You couldn’t pay me to ride them now) LOL! 

The card I made for today takes me back to those
FUN DAYS OF SUMMER when the ride monitor would say..
"keep your hands in the car!"  Haha! Yeah right!
I would throw my hands in the air the second we pulled
out of the platform and scream like a maniac
 on that crazy corkscrew roller coaster!

WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
Front
Side
Inside
Angle

FUN is right!

I used my newest favorite cartridge called
"Summer Celebrations"
and my stamp set from
K. Andrew Desings called

I hope you enjoyed looking at my
"Summer Fun" card.
Hopefully it brought back some good
memories for some of you too:)
 
Thank you for visiting:)


Thanks so much Julie! Your card is soooo much fun and definitely reminds me of summer!


Please head on over to Julie's blog and leave her some blog love!

I cut the shopping cart out in the same colors that she is using in her kitchen and filled it with a couple jars of spices and a gift card.
 I love this new stamp set! It has lots of "home" and "sewing" sentiments and the new stitched oval die works perfectly with all of them!

Extra-ordinary Teacher!

Happy Friday!

I have another back to school gift idea today.  These are kinda fun don't you think? Again I found this idea on Pinterest, but I changed it up a bit so that it would work as a teacher gift.

The apple is from the Give a Hoot Cartridge. I cut it at 3 1/2".
I typed the sentiment on my computer and then used the center cut feature on my Cricut to cut it out.  Cute no?

Tomorrow I will have a "sneak" of one of Emma's new stamps, that she is releasing next Friday!
I hope you have a wonderful day!
