Thinking of You Card

Welcome to another Whimsical Wednesday.

Today's challenge is all about "Funky Folds"

Create a card that is anything but a shape or A2 style. Examples: easel, gatefold, waterfall

For my card I decided to make an Easel card.

The card I made is a sympathy card for my friend Katie who's mom died last week.

For this card I used the "Storybook"cartridge to cut out the image. The sentiment stamp Is from Hero Arts and the flower is from Petaloo. I used a Viva Decor pearl pen for the peals and the pattern paper is Basic Grey.

The sentiment on the bottom is from my computer and says: "Praying for friends to comfort you, faith to uphold you, and loving memories to heal your heart."

I hope you enjoyed my card and can't wait to see what "Funky Folds" you can come up with for this weeks challenge.

This week we have two prizes. The first one is a package of action wobbles from our Whimsical Designer Glora.
Thank you Glora for sponsoring us with these fun scrappy wobbles:)

Welcome to our Whimsical Wednesday Challenge!

Today's challenge is ~ Fun With Color

This week at Whimsical Wednesday's we are having a color challenge and have a photo for inspiration. We all had to use the colors Yellow and Red and then we could chose another color/colors from the photo on our card/project.

The picture below is the inspiration picture.

For my card I decided to go with the colors Red, Yellow, and White.

The flower was cut from the "Paisley" cartridge" The yellow section was embossed with CB's Polka Dot folder and the red sections was embossed with the Swiss Dots folder. I added red and white twine and a polka dot button and the border punch is Fiskar's "Threading Water". Also the white bling in the center of the flower is I-Rock.

Wild Flower Scrapbook Pages

Hello and Welcome to the Whimsical Wednesday Blog Hop!

We are glad you could join us. You should have arrived here from Stephanie alwayscrafting. If you just stopped by to say hi you can start at the beginning of the hop by clicking here Whimsical Wednesday.

Here is my project

Here is the first page: My page sizes are 8.5x11. My family and I find this to be the best size for us as they fit perfectly on a book shelf in our living room and it is easier for our kids to look through them then the 12x12 scrapbooks.

Here is the second page: For this layout the title was made using the "Sesame Street Font" cartridge (Sunny Day w/the shadow) I alternated between lowercase and uppercase. The 3 sunflowers were cut from the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge also with the shadow. The title has diamond Stickles on it, and the sunflowers have yellow Stickles also all edges have been inked with brown.

Here they are side by side.

This is the card I made.

I decided to use the left over paper I used on the LO on the card. This sunflower was also cut from the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms stamps. The extras on this card are: White gel pen, gold gel pen, Cinnamon Stickles, brown ink, and Fiskars Threading Water punch. The button was tied with yellow and white bakers twine.

I hope you enjoyed and a have a great day!

Beautiful Birthday Card ~ Paper Playtime Challenge

I made this card for the Purple and Green challenge going on over at

paper Playtime.

I also made this for my Husbands Grandma Bess, her Birthday is tomorrow. I guess I'm cutting it pretty close but since she lives in the same state I'm hoping it will get to her on time.

I kept this card pretty simple.

I had originally planned on embossing the purple mat with the CB Polka dots folder but I accidentally glued it down before I remembered to do emboss it. :(

The flowers were cut from the "Holiday Cakes" cartridge at 3.25 in.

Here is the inside of the card.

The sentiment says:

Have a Beautiful Birthday.

I hope you enjoy and have a great day. :)

My Pink Stampers September 11th Challenge

I made this card for the challenge going on over at My Pink Stamper. The reason I chose to do this card is that one of my biggest memories as a child is when my mom took us out to the big tree in our front yard and had all the children tie yellow ribbons on the branches while she sang "Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree." When I asked her why we were tying the ribbons on the tree she said is was to support my oldest brother while he was off fighting in Desert Storm, and to let people know he is out there and we're praying for him to come home safe.

He did come home safe and I am so proud of him and his wife and also for my other brother and his wife for serving our country and trying to keep us safe.

The tree was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up, cut at 4in., The grass was cut from the same cart. with fit to length at 5 3/4, The leaves are from Speaking Of Fall at 1in and at 1 1/2 in. The sentiment is from MPS Stamps.

I hope you all enjoy and have a great Sunday. :)

A non Cricut card!

First off I want to thank Tangee from Kricut Krazy for leading me to Tuesday Morning. I had never been there before and had no intention of ever going there until she did a video of all the great stuff she got. It turns out that we have a Tuesday Morning right here in town. :) I got 3 packs of paper and some awesome ribbon. One of the packs had this amazing raised and flocked paper and I just had to make something with it right away. :)

This is what I came up with.

Hope you enjoy and have a great day. :)

Momo's Tuesday Challenge ~ Lady Bug Card

I made this card for the challenge going on over at Momo's. For this challenge you just had to use the colors black, white, and one other color.

The ladybugs are from the DoodleCharms cartridge cut at 2in. The sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

(This is the inside of the card.)

The border is cut using my Threading Water punch. I punched both sides of a thin scrap piece. I meant to line the holes up and only have one hole but clearly I was off a little. I liked how it looked but then I added stickles to it there by ruining it. (oh well, I'll still use it.)

Hope you all are having a great Tuesday!

Create a Critter Challenge ~ Penguin Card

I made this card for a challenge going on over at Card Creations & More By C.

This is her very first time hosting a challenge So I think everyone should go on over and support her. :)

For this challenge you needed to make something with a critter theme. I decided to go with the penguin from the Create a Critter Cartridge. I've never used the penguin before but then I realized I had that face stamp from Peachy Keen and just had to use it. :) I love how she came out!

I welded 2 igloos together to make a shaped card and added the penguin to the front.

For the sentiment I used my Scrappy Moms Stamps. This stamp is not a curved stamp it actually goes straight across I just curved it on my acrylic block and stamped it really fast before the tension made it unstick.

I had so much fun making this card. Hope you all enjoy it and have a great day. :)

You Rock! Card ~ Rock Princess Cartridge

I got this cartridge in the mail yesterday and I absolutely love it! It has fun fonts and great images and they're not hard to work with. When I saw this girl it totally reminded me of my 14-year-old niece, Mia. So I just had to make her this card. :) For the background on this card I really wanted to emboss it but I didn't like how any of them looked so I decided instead to go with some bright pink tulle . I love how it looks and it gives it so much texture. :) I added Stickles to her arm to look like the jelly bracelets that Mia loves to wear and then I made a very small skull from the same cartridge to add to the front of her shirt.

The stamp is from My Pink Stamper Stamps. I stamped it twice to make it look like vibrations from the guitar.

and this is the inside. I used my Treading Water punch. I love how this came out! Hope you enjoy and have a great day!

"Nuts About You!" ~ Paper Cutz Challenge #53

This card is for the Paper Cutz Challenge. You could use any cartridge, or colors you wanted but you had to use a digital, hand-stamped or Cricut cut image of a monkey, skunk, squirrel, or hedgehog.

So for this card I picked a squirrel from Create a Critter. I love how stinkin' cute she is!

I inked around the images, embossed the sky and the nuts (the nuts are from my box of mis-cuts so I can't remember what cartridge they are from.), punched the bottom edge with my Treading Water Punch, added Purple Stickles to the holes, ribbon from Michael's, and the sentiment is from my computer.

I really love how this came out! I hope you all enjoy and have a great day!

Skunk Card- "It Stinks"

This is a card I made for my new sister-in-law Toni. She has been going through a really hard time lately so I decided to send her this card to go along with some Victoria's secret body wash, lotion, and body mist. She loved it! :) I wanted to wait to post this until I had given it to her.

This card is a regular A2 sized card. The mat was embossed with my Divine Swirls folder in my Cuttlebug. I think I cut the skunk at around 3in (but I can't really remember) and it is cut from Create a Critter. I added 2 rows of paper cut with my treading water punch, and some Stickles, ribbon, gems, and glitter to finish the front of the card.

The actual card was made using some shimmer purple card stock. this is the in side of the card. The sentiment I just printed off my computer and added some stitching with a Martha Stewart glitter pen. I love how this card came out. Hope you also enjoy it. Have a great day!

Throwback Thursday Challenge - Zooballoo Card

This is the the other card I made yesterday. I made this for Emma's throwback Thursday Challenge at My Creative Time.

My husband is a Police Officer and every once in a while he has to go on an extradition and brings criminals from another state back to Utah. These can take a few days so as a reminder to be safe and to know that I'm thinking of him I like to leave cute, fun cards in his luggage for everyday that he's gone. When I saw this cute octopus in my Zooballoo cartridge I just knew I had to add it to my stash. :)

This card is an A2 sized card. All the papers are from my scrap pile. (I have 3 drawers full!) I've been trying to use them up so unless a challenge has specific colors I'll be using only scraps for the next few weeks. The Octopus was cut at 2 1/4 in. and stamped with my Peachy Keen Everyday face assortment stamps. The circle was cut after I traced a ribbon spool that was sitting next to me while trying to figure out what to do with the octopus ;). The paper was inked with brown, I added some white dots with a white gel pen, and traced him with a yellow Martha Stewart glitter maker, then mounted it on foam tape.

This is the inside of the card. Hope you enjoyed the card and have a great day. :)
