    I have a lot of cards to show you today. I just got back from a weekend long craft retreat and got a bunch of cards made for some challenges and some just to replenish my stash.

Hocus Pocus

Hello Card Lovers,
       I am here with a quick post, a lot of time went into this card so I was only able to get one completed tonight. I will be entering this card over at Cadz T.V. for the"SSSooo SSSpooky!" Cricut Cardz Challenge #117 & Little Scrap Pieces (Fun Friday Challenge) Halloween.
     Here is what I came up with.....
 Materials Used
Create A Critter 2
Peachy Keen (In Stitches)
My Pink Stamper Sentiment Stamps
My Craft Spot (Tiny Tags Dies)
DCWV Bewitched Paper
Buttons From Stash
American Crafts Glitter Tape
Bakers Twine
White & Black Gel Pen
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers
Pebbles Chalk
ATG
3D Foam Squares
 
    I am not going to list all the measurements because as you can see in the photos I did a lot of matting. If you would like all the measurements feel free to ask. My card base is 5.25x4.25 and then just folded front, left to right, to create the S-Fold card. My Adorable little Carmel apple was cut at 4.25. The circles inside my card were cut at 4.75", 4.50" & 4.25".
     I knew as soon as I seen this Carmel apple in the handbook, I wanted to use it. If you don't yet own the new Create A Critter 2, it's totally worth the money, there are just so many great elements to this cartridge.
I hope you all enjoy my Halloween card for the day!!! Thanks for stopping by :)
Happy Scrapping"

Just Chillin

Hello Card Lovers,
      I am so glad, that I have had some time in my craft room today. My little peanut is sleeping so I was able to make two cards. The card I am going to show you in this post, will be entered in over at, Scrappy Mom Stamps. I decided to go with a Christmas card for this challenge. Here is what I came up with....
Materials Used
Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge
Mr. Frosty Cricut Imagine Cartridge
Scrappy Mom's (Charmed Life) Stamp Set
Peachy Keen Critter Faces (medium)
Buttons From Stash
Creative Impressions Snowflakes
Queen & Co. Rhinestones
Bakers Twine
Stampin Up Snowflake Embossing Folder
Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers
Black Gel Pen
 
All papers, except the ones used for my cute little penguin, were printed using the Mr. Frosty Cricut Imagine Cartridge. One of my all time favorite craft stores, Crafts Direct was discontinuing all the cricut imagine items, so I got a bunch of ink and cartridges for only $10.00 a piece, can you believe those prices?!?! I had to drive an hour to get them but I made a day of it shopping there. Here is a picture of the outside of the store. Is this place not amazing!!!
   OK so on with the details of my card. The base is 5.25x4.5, my penguin measure at 4" with all of her layers. I used my Gypsy so I could hide the face and use my peachy keen stamps. I printed two circles as well, one at 4.5" and 4.2". I put them on my card and cut off the access.
I Just love how this card turned out. I love all the colors.

PKS Challenge #37

Hello Card Lovers,
     OK, so I know I am cutting it pretty close to deadline on this challenge. I would swear that my soon to be 16 month old is going through the terrible two's early. He has been a handful lately, it doesn't help that he has mommy wrapped around his little finger either.
      I was so excited to make this card because I knew I was going to use the new Teddy Bear Parade Cartridge. Here is what I came up with for this sketch challenge.
Materials Used
Teddy Bear Parade
PK-754 Critter Faces
Scrappy Mom's Stamps (The Charmed Life)
DCWV Paper
AC Glitter Tape
Queen & Co. Rhinestones & Pearls
CuttleBug Swiss Dots Embossing Folder
Googly Eyes
Black Gel Pen
Tim Holtz (Dried Marigold) Distress Ink
3D Foam Squares
 
     I Think this card turned out pretty cute, if I would have more time there are some things I would have liked to have changed.
* My card base is 4.5x5.25
*Small Circle 2" (Cricut Basics)
* Large Circle 4.25" (Cricut Basics)
* Bear 3.5"
     I Definitely think this cartridge is going to quickly become my new favorite. This to me, is one of the best cricut lite cartridges out there, there are just so many possibilities. I hope you all have a great night and thanks for stopping by. I am off to work on more cards, now that little one is going to bed.
Thanks & Happy Scrapping'
