    Ok I have totally been slacking on my challenge posts. We had VBS at our church last week and that took up ALL my spare time, but it was a GREAT  week! Anyway, here is my entry for the Cricut Cardz Challenge. We were to make a get well card using blue, green, black and white.

    Throwback Thursday Challenge- "Birthday" theme

    Well this week for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge we were supposed to use the Celebrations cart, or any older cart we have to make a Birthday themed project. So I used the Stretch Your Imagination cart. This challenge worked out perfectly since I needed a birthday card for my friend anyway! I wish the picture turned out better, the card is so much more sparkly in person!

    Recipe:
    • Stretch Your Imagination cart (present card 5 1/4", present card frame 5 1/4", present outline 2 3/4")
    • glitter cardstock
    • metallic cardstock

    My Submission for the CC Creative Escape Contest

     So here is the card I made for the contest. I almost didn't make one because I was cutting it so close to the deadline but I'm really glad I did. Plus it was for a really great cause (all the cards are being donated to the The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The rules were we had to use ONLY ProvoCraft and Bazzill products.
    So here is my recipe for this card:
    • Bazzill Basics Paper (Earthtones, Fun, and Dotted Swiss)
    • Create-A-Critter cartidge (sun 2 1/2", rainbow 3", cloud 2")
    • Beyond Birthdays cartridge ("create joy" w/ shadow 1 1/2")
    • dimensional adhesive

    The card had to be 4 1/4" x 5" so the base of the card is 5" x 8 1/2" and scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8" to make a gatefold card. Then I added the elements to each side, making sure to ONLY glue them to ONE side of card so it will still open! lol And then I used the dimensional adhesive for the cloud so the end of the rainbow can be tucked behind it to keep the card closed. I am so in love with the CAC cart! EVERYTHING on it is so cute! I couldn't have found a better phrase for this card because it sure brought me joy creating it and I hope it will spread a little joy to others too! Oh yeah and winning the contest wouldn't be to bad either! LOL

    Throwback Thursday Challenge- "Animal" theme




    Well it's time for another Throwback Thursday Challenge from Emma @  My Creative Time.
    The theme this Thursday was "Animals". The Throwback cartridge was "Zooballoo" but since I don't have that one I used Paper Pups. I'm really loving these long cards. They fit into a regular old business size envelope :o)
    I think this little guy is sooooo cute! I've been wanting to use him in a card ever since I bought it!

    Recipe:
    • Paper Pups cart (dog and phrase cut @ 3")
    • DCWV patterned paper
    • Tinkering Ink (red paper)
    • Brown cardstock (cut 8" x 8 1/2")
    • Fiskars border punch

    Cricut Cardz Challenge # 32



    This week's challenge at Cricut Cardz Challenge was to make a Christmas card. So since Winter Wonderland is my absolute favorite Winter/Christmas cart, I had to use this cute little guy! I used the tag, s-tag of reindeer 2 for the base and then added the layered reindeer on top. But he just really needed some pizazz! So I added a green ribbon and a tiny bell (which does actually jingle, if you were wondering) and voila!!
