Card for Kids~ Lazy Saturday

It's really nice to have a saturday without sports. We have a "bye" this week so we are enjoying a lazy day home. I do have to admit...it feels a bit strange being home, but I think I could get use to having a few saturday's like this. Well at least I know what I have to look forward to some day.

So today marks the end of my CAD January challenge. I am proud to say I made it all the way through! It's hard to believe that today is actually the last day of January!

Since I am finishing up my "pledge" for the v-day card drive for the children's hospital...today's little card is one that is also heading out the door for the kids.

I decided to pair up the "trend" of cupcakes with the theme of valentine's day...and played off of "be mine" and added in "cupcake" for obvious reasons ;).

Here's my card:



Thanks again to everyone that cheered me on during this month of cards with comments & emails...it really made the "journey" more fun. Also a special thank you to Jennifer, Donna, Shelly and Leah who all played along during the challenge. If you all didn't get a chance to check out their work, you need to head on over to their blogs...because these ladies are as sweet as they are talented!

Minnie Mouse~Be Mine Card~ Cards for Kids and a *TOOT*

Can you believe that there is only 1 more day in January! It's crazy that we are almost through an entire month of this new year! I am still trying to learn to write 2009 on my checks, anyone else?

Today's little card comes from the Mickey and Friends Cartridge. This little cartridge has all of the cute little "true" Disney cuts...so many cute poses to choose from.

Since we just booked another voyage on the Disney Ship (Aug. can't come fast enough!)...I felt inspired to pull this little cartridge out today. I also thought, that this would be a super cute cut that kids would enjoy so this little card will be heading out in the mail for the kids v-day card drive.

Here's my card:



Now for my *TOOT* I received an email last night requesting one of my cards for and upcoming issue of simply handmade (the new trends magazine)...I am DELIGHTED to be included in the april/may book.

Have a super day everyone!

Little card for the kids...

So I finally got this little car pieced together...wow I have to say this cartridge is not the easiest to use. Although, now that I have this little cut pieced together the next time I will know what not to do ;)

Anyway, here's my little card. This will be heading out in the mail soon for the children's hospital card drive that I am participating in.



Well I am off to clean up my studio so I can make it through 2 more days of this CAD challenge - it's a mess in here!

Have a great day everyone

A Quiet moment...

I've been looking for a quiet moment today to sit down and finish up a little "cars" card for the v-day drive from Children's hospital...but it seems that life is too crazy for that today. Plus, piecing this little car together has proven to be a bit more complicated then what I thought it would be...anyone else? Or is it just me that thinks the cars cartridge is a bit complicated?

So, looking at the clock (sorry I am posting so late today for those that are playing along)I decided to go ahead and grab yet another card from my BG kit...this kit has been a LIFESAVER! (sorry for doing it again...I promise to get this cars card done tonight/tomorrow :))

Anyway, here's my card for today...Perhaps we should be doing a "countdown" as the days seem to stretch on forever in January (why didn't I pick Feb. to do this challenge?!?) LOL. So only 3 more cards to post after today! Crazy huh!



Have a great day everyone!

2 *TOOTS*~Scrapbook Trends Jan. issue, a card and a digital layout

This morning I received a nice surprise on my door step...2 copies of the January 2009 Trends magazine and a box full of scrapping goodies :) I was lucky enough to be included in this addition with a little layout of my sweet little Gavin....here's the magazine and a picture of my layout:

Also, yesterday I was delighted to see that my little v-day card made the chirp (cricut newsletter) this week :)

In case you missed my "bee mine" card here's a picture of it again :)

Also, over at 2 peas in a bucket today Crystal is releasing her new digital rounded templates. These are a lot of fun and will really kick start those layouts for you! I paired up one of her templates with her rainbow sherbet line. Here's my layout for this week: (make sure to stop over at 2 peas to see what the other designers did this week!):

For today's CAD, I quickly grabbed that good 'ol trusty BG kit and made up this little card. I decided to tie on some tulle and add a button to the card along with some ink. The rest of the card comes straight from the kit.

Have a super day everyone! and remember if you are playing along with my January CAD challenge, leave me a link here so I can post your card today :)
