I'm Back

So sorry to all of my followers. I made a mistake on my Google profile the other day and had my whole account locked out. I have missed my blog so much! I will do some catching up now. :)

School Bus

Good Morning all. I have been in the shaped card fling lately. :) So here is another one to share.

Last week was my daughter's first day of school. Due to a miscommunication she went home on the wrong bus. When her bus came to drop her off and she was not on I freaked a little. :) But called the school, figured ot where she was and got her home safe. The secretary was awesome so I wanted to apologize to her for the confusion. So hopefully she likes this card.

Second Card for A week Cricut Challenge

I ended up creating two cards for the cricut challenge. I am part of a challenge on the cricut boards to use our cricut cartridge more. Since this is A week and I have 4 a carts, figured I better make at least two cards.

Now this card was for my mother for Grandparents day. I asked my dd what she should make (she is 4 1/2). She said a pink cow! Well if we have previously made a princess alligator, figured a pink cow is not a big deal. How else do you get strawberry milk?! :)

I also used two stamps on her I have never used also. Did not have anything for grandparents day, so we went with a pun on I love you. So not only am I using carts I have not used in a while I am also pushing myself to use some stamps I just had to have and have sat in my drawer for a while! :)

Thanks 3x3

Happy Grandparents Day and a somber 9/11. I have been watching a bunch of the coverage today. Just amazing to think it has been 10 years. So much has changed in that time.

Well on to some crafting. I have been working on a few projects over the past few days. I am going to start with the 3x3 cards I made. I made two for people at work and then ended up making 2 more for my mother and aunt for all they do for me. Very simple card. But I think they came out so cute!

Cricut Challenge A week

I needed to make a card for my niece. I probably would have gone to one of my regular carts. I joined a challenge on the cricut boards to use the carts we have. This is a great idea for me since I probably have close to 80! :) This being A week you need to use a cartridge starting with A that you have not used. I decided to use All Mixed up. This is really going to be a fun challenge.

PK LFIF - Back to School

This week at Peachy Keen, the Lets Face it Friday challenge was to create something back to school. Luckily, because of Tropical Storm Irene, I have been working on these longer than usual. School was supposed to start for DD (kindergarten) and DS (preschool) on August 29, but Irene had another thing to say about that! :) So school starts for my DD tomorrow and DS on Thursday since preschool got flooded. So because of the delay I get to enter these in the LFIF challenge.

Princess Alligator

Today is my aunt's birthday. I asked my daughter several times what kind of card we should make her for her birthday. She kept saying a Princess Alligator. She never strayed from that. So I had the task of trying to create a princess alligator. I think she came out kinda cute! :) And I figured if alligators could be a princess, well she could be pink and purple! :)

Alligator: Create a Critter - Alligator all layers

Cuttlebug folder for texture (not sure of the name)

ACY Card

Good Morning all. I have been loving getting all this time in the scraproom for the past few days. Creativity has really been flowing. Which is a good thing because my aunt's birthday is this weekend. My DD said we need to make her a princess alligator card. I better be feeling very creative for that kind of card! :)

Well on to today's card. I made this for my mother's good friend. She is suffering from cancer for the 4th time. She lives in CT but has had to go to TX for treatment. All of her family is here and she is alone. I feel so bad for her. So I wanted to send her card to let her know she is being thought of.

Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge

This is my entry for Emma at My Creative Time's challenge. You needed to use any retired cartridge.

Well I bought Locker Talk a while ago on rewards and of course have only used it once, I think! :) Well with school starting, I figured this was a perfect time to bring it out. My dd is starting kindergarten and my son is going to preschool.

I was inspired by Ruthie from septemberninth.blogspot.com who made this wreath and I thought that would be perfect for both of my children's teachers. So glad I had a crop this past weekend, because I spent most of the day working on them. Would not have gotten it done with little people yelling Mommy every 5 minutes. :)

Now this is not completely done yet. I still have to stick everything down exactly where I want it, but I needed to get it in for the challenge which ends tonite. The white thing in the middle is a plastic bag. I had to lay it down and since it rained last night the picnic table was wet. Just pretend it is not there. :)

All cuts are from Locker Talk - Lettering is from Doodletype (I think)

Paper: SU and Recollections

Stamps: All PK - Wide Eyed kids, Happy Lashes and Princess Faces

Chalk, doodeling, liquid glass, brad for scissors

Thanks for looking

Ladybug Birthday

What a good feeling, the last few days I have had my creating groove! I am hoping this does not end for a while. :)

Made this same card for my boss's 6yr old granddaughter and my peep's mom's birthday. My peep always says when you make a card, make two of them, so I did. :) Just don't tell them they are getting the same card. The only thing different I did on the 6 yr old card was put a bobble head on for the head. Thought she would like that. :)

Sorry the picture is a little blurry, I was in a rush this morning.
