In addition to Kristal and the Senior Design Team, we look forward to introducing you to the rest of our NEW Junior Design Team (be sure to visit Kristal's Blog to see ALL of our "new additions"!!)

Each of Kristal's stamp sets benefit charity. At least $1 per stamp set goes to benefit the charity noted on the stamp set package. Kristal is donating to the following charities: Cancer Angels, Storefront Shelter for Homeless Children, Intrepid & Fallen Heroes, E. Glaser Pediatric AIDS  Foundation, Doorways Shelter for Women & Children (Domestic Violence), Wayside House for Women, Camp Good Days & Special Times, Adopt a Classroom, and Autism Research Institute.

Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge

Hi Everyone!!! Today is the Simply Sunday Challenge over at Getting Cricky. This is my first post as a Jr. Design Team Member and I'm so excited!! Kristal is wonderful and so caring and her stamps are marvelous! The theme for this weeks challenge was to create a holiday decoration. Well, I don't celebrate holidays. Religous reasons. :) But, I didn't want to let my team down, so I did create some party favors for a baby shower.

The baggies are from Wilton.

Kraft Paper is from Recollections

The scallop is cut from the Theresa Collins Baby Boutique Imagine Cart

LOVE IT!!!

I also used the snowflake Cuttlebug folder for the embossing. I also

inked around the scallop for dimension.

The sentiment "soo...YUM" was used from the Coffee & Tea Treats stamp set by K. Andrew. To order this set and to check out all of her other great stamps, click here!

 Thanks for stopping by and taking a gander. (LOL Love that word.).

 Don't forget to visit the rest of the Design Team to see what wonderful

 creations they have created.

Everything's Better w/ Coffee

I'm so EXCITED!! 

I received my stamps from K. Andrew today and they are wonderful!

Quality is superb!

As I stated in a previous post, I was recently chosen to be on Kristal's Junior Design Team.

This is my first project using this set of stamps.

The stamp set used today is the Coffee & Tea Treats Tag-a-Long set.

Thank you for stopping by! Come back and visit soon!

Scalley Wag!

Ok, who knew scalley wag was a pirate term?! Not me! But I love it! I know I've called some people that name in my day. LOL I just got the Bucaneer Imagine Cart tonight. I knew I wanted to do something with it, but didn't know what. I just threw this together real quick and I guess it's ok. My hubby likes it. :)

He's a mean fishy, scally wag!

He's so mad!!! LOL

I popped up the layers that were available for the fish.

 It gives the fish some dimension.

I also inked all of the edges of the fish layers in black.

I printed 2 squares in 2 different patterns that are on the cart. The card

base is craft paper and inked with Chocolate Studio G ink.

Hope you enjoyed!!!  Don't forget to comment and become a follower. I will return the favor.

AHAHAHHAHA!!! I'm so happy to say announce that I am on Kristal Andrew's new Junior Design Team. I can't wait to start working with her and her amazing team she has! Thank you Kristal for the opportunity!

Rosette Topper

Hello everyone! I was blog surfing last night and came across a post on My Creative Time . Emma made some rosette toppers for her pencils from the Art Philosphy cartridge. I, however, do not own that cart, but I did design the same cut on my Gypsy using George & Basic Shapes. I cut the scallop from Cindy Loo. I then applied a button on the top scallop and used Honeydew baker's twine from The Twinery for the bow.

*If anyone is interested in the gypsy cut file, please leave a message on this blog w/ your email address and I'll be happy to send it out. Follower's welcome as well. :)

CRICUT 360º - Challenge # 13 - Welcome Baby

This is the first challenge I have entered. I made this card about a month ago for a co-worker that is having a baby boy. I used the Create a Critter and Sugar & Spice Lite cartridges and the Safari stack from DCWV. Enjoy.

My FIRST Blog Award!!!

While going through a comment on a previous post, I came across a message stating that I recieved a Blog Award. I received this award from Linda @ LadyBug Lair in JULY! Yes, I'm 3 months late. But I'm so very grateful. Thank you soooo much Linda.

Hello Friend

Wow, it's been a while since my last post. I've not really crafted that much lately and tonight for some reason, I had a big urge to make a card. I got out my Gypsy (love her) and went to work. I love the color pink, so I made that a theme for this card. Hope you enjoy and I hope to keep this craft bug I've just caught. :)

Recipe : Pink Cardstock from Recollections

Paper Studio Paper Pack (can't remember name..sorry)

Cricut Carts : Elegant Edges and George & Basic Shapes

Pink Ribbon

Sentiment from Studio G Stamps

Apple Card - Hello

This card was made with the help of my hubby. I cut the apple from the Serenade cartridge, the circle from George and other Shapes, and the tag from Home Accents. The pattern paper is from DCWV Bella Cafe paperstack. I like how everything turned out, EXCEPT, I think I probably need a new glue pad. My stamp isn't quite right. But you get the idea. :) Happy Crafting.

Lady Bug Card

It's been a while, but I'm back and hopefully, I can start posting more often.  Here is a card I finished a few days ago. I used Paisley for the lady bug and the other images are from SCAL.
