BBTB Challenge...

This week at BBTB we were challenged to use the Christmas Tree Card cut from the Joys of the seasons cartridge. This cut is such a fun cut and would really come in handy this Christmas season to help you get those cards done quickly!

I decided to cut a transparency this week...and this proved to be a fun new medium to work with...here's what I came up with (sorry about the photograph by we are having cloudy weather here...fall has arrived):)

Here's my take on the challenge this week:

Make sure to stop by BBTB to see what the other amazing designers did this week with this cut!

TOOT! Scrapbook Trends!

Wow! 2 post in 1 day...that's amazing for me! LOL!

I just wanted to share that I just received an email from scrapbook trends requesting one of my cards for an upcoming invitation idea book! I am really excited...and I can't wait to see this book!

Thanks for letting me share!

Crazy whirlwind of a life...

Anyone else feel like this...run run run and run some more? It seems like that is our life lately! So much going on all the time.

While running around, it dawned on me that I haven't updated in a while ;) but I have been creating a lot of fun things...some of which I can not share yet but I do have a few new creations to share.

Scrapstreet has been having a Hoilday Derby. We are given a new challenge each day (either altered, cards, or layouts)...and we only have 24 hours to complete the challenge. Here are a few Halloween items that I made using some of Best Creations products:





and here's a layout I made a while back using some of Best Creations products:



Also, with my crazed life lately, I forgot that a while back I had mentioned that I have a "secret toot" that I would reveal...opps. If you haven't already figured out from some projects that I have shown recently...I was asked by Best Creation to create projects for them for trade shows...so I am doing contract work for them...and I have to say they have some really cute stuff so I am really honored to be working with them.

BBTB Challenge

This week at BBTB we were challenged to use the pear cut from the home accents collection. I love this little cut...so many fun options for this...

Here is my take on this weeks challenge:





Make sure to head on over to the BBTB blog to see what everyone did this week! Amazing!

Serious Cricut Love!

Ok...I have to admit it...I am really hooked on my Cricut! I mean seriously hooked...it's unlike anything that I have ever used before...and I have had it all! and then this week I had a problem.

I opened up a cartridge that I purchased during the Michaels sale...and it didn't work. I threw out my store sales receipt of course because I have never had a problem with my Cricut before. I thought for sure I was going to be out of luck.

So...I called up Cricut...and you know what they just replaced it...so helpful...so friendly...no run around...I am SOLD! I love love love Cricut now! LOL yes, I am ranting about a great company...Provo Craft is wonderful!

Ok...so I actually do have a creation to share :)My SIL just had a little baby boy...so I made this little shape card with my new arrival cartridge....awh did I mention I love cricut ;) LOL

Here's the card:



Have a super day everyone :)

A card to share...

So this week over at BBTB we were challenged to use the dress icon cut from the dreams come true cartridge. Hands down this is one of my favorite cuts...so many options! and ohhhh so perfect for all of those girly girl parties you know you want to throw!

Here's my take on this weeks challenge:



Make sure to stop over at the BBTB site to see what everyone else did with this cut...amazing I tell you!

Finally something to share!

Life is crazy! Goodness...I long for those lazy summer days...where are they and when will they be back again? The kids are already into almost 2 months of school! That just seems so crazy! Chad has been really busy at work...more to come about that later ;) but it looks like we have changes on the horizon ;)

So lately, I haven't had too much time to play in my craft room...but I have been lucky enough to add the new Martha Stewart goo punch to my collection...anyone else get that one? I just couldn't resists (*I did have a 50% off coupon...so how could I)...I have a few ideas in mind and hope to be able to share some Halloween cards soon.

Now that we are into nearly 2 months of school...it hit me the other day just how wonderful and blessed we are to have such wonderful teachers. Amazing teachers actually...so giving of their time, their attention to detail, and communication. Honestly, we feel truly blessed. Anyway, I love to send thank you notes to our teachers throughout the school year...they do so much and I try to remember to thank them for all of the wonderful extra things they do.

Scrappin' Sports and More released some fall papers at summer CHA and these papers are prefect for those teacher thank you cards...here is a little card I made today with some SS&M papers, my cricut and doodlecharms cartridge.



So what are you up to this weekend? The leaves are changing and falling here in Colorado...so I think we are going to take a drive up to the mountains this weekend! I can't wait...I have to admit the mountains changing colors has to hands down be one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! Hope to have pictures to share :) Have a super weekend everyone!
