Go Wild!

Sorry for the late post - these night shifts are really cutting into my blogging routine. I must get better with pre-scheduling my posts - but that would involve organization, something I am not so hot at :) The Challenge today over at Cooking with Cricut is to use hearts and flowers. Here is what I came up with:



Isn't my girlie Zebra a cutie? She is cut from Create a Critter. The hearts are from George, as are the squares they are sitting on. The stamps is from Joy's Life - Lots of Pun. The cardstock is a mix from my stash and the patterned paper is from an old Cricut 12x6 stack for Animal Kingdom.

I hope you all head over to CWC and check out the design teams beautiful work, and play along with us...

Mooo...

Today's card is quick and simple. I cut her out on my Gypsy at 3.9 inches, so it would fit in an A2 envelope. I made it for my daughter, who wanted me to cut her the cow on Create a Critter. We all love that cartridge :)



The paper is a mix of Walmart stuff and StampinUp. I used Lots of Pun stamp by Joy's Life, Memento Ink, stickles to bling up her horns and the pink bow, StampinUp ribbon.

Challenges I am submitting this for:
Made by Momo - black, white and on other color - I chose pink
Paper Playtime - at the farm
Pollycraft Monday - nature

Halifax is currently melting in a heat wave, and Hurricane Earl is following quick behind - we are going to be battoning down the hatches. Hope everyone in his path stays safe this week :)

Exciting news and a card set!!

A couple of weeks ago, I submitted these cards and a few others to Cricut Cardz Challenges to become a member of the design team. I was chosen, along with many other talented ladies. It is very exciting!! I have never been part of a design team before. I will be posting my creations every 2 weeks along with the other memeber of "Team 2"









This little set of 3x3 cards and the pink box to hold it was all made with Create a Critter and Lots of Pun by Joy's Life. The paper is all from my scrap box, and the ribbon I bought at the Dollar Store. These were so fun to make. They take very little time, and use up scraps. I love anything that uses up my scraps :)

I hope you all have a great day, and join us over at Cricut Cardz Challenge The challenges are always lots of fun! I'll be back tomorrow with a new post - or maybe even later today. I have an idea for the back to school challenge over at Cricut Cardz :)

The Ocean

I'm back!! it's hard to believe it's been almost a week since I last posted. Work was nuts and I just didn't have the energy, and yesterday we took the kids to the beach. Living on the east coast of Canada means there is a very shortr season in which we can go in the Atlantic. Yesterday was stunning, the water was gorgeous, the waves crashing and the beach reasonably quiet, a perfect summer afternoon. The ocean even inspired this card:







This is a Triangle fold card. I followed a great tutorial by Janis of Pause, Dream, Enjoy. You can find the tutorial HERE. I used Create a Critter to cut out the sea creatures. The stamp is from "Lots of Pun" by Joy's Life. I won it a few weeks ago from the amazing Ruthie. The paper is from an old stack I got at Michael's years ago, and have never used... the card stock is mostly Stampin Up, as is the ink I used.

Here are the challenges i am submitting this card for:
Cricut Cardz Challenge - anything goes
Paper Pretties - summer theme
ABC challenge - B is for BLUE
The Treehouse Thursday Challenge - under the sea
My Sheri Crafts - miss you
Secret Crafter - blue and cream

Last but not least, I wanted to share a pic of my daughter as she ran out of the water yesterday. I love the light in this picture, and would love to be able to say I did it on purpose, but it was just a happy accident :)



I will be back tomorrow, with a new card - I don't go back to work till Friday, that should leave lots of time for crafting - at least I hope it will :)
