Theme Day Thursday~ RETRO

Hello.. Today over at My Cricut Craft Room  it is Theme Day Thursday, and Today's Theme is RETRO.
Okay I am being totally honest I am a simple gal and not really a RETRO person. So I tried to fit the theme and I actually tried something new. I tried sewing twine on the Birthday Purse Card!

Here it is ...
I made this little Gift Card purse for a Birthday!
I used the Forever Young Cartridge. I so love this Cartridge.. to make a gift card holder or even you could make this as a gift bag and put candy in it! You can use the gyspy and make the sizes bigger or smaller.


This is the inside and I placed a little sentiment in it.

I know the Picture is blurry but I was trying to show the twine that i had sewn on this bag.

Well I thought this was a pretty simple but pretty Retro purse.
I hope you all have a great Crafting day! Don't forget to come back for this weekend to see what i have made for the Blog Hop.
Its sooo cool!
See you soon. Don't forget to leave some love!

Would You Ever Guess Wenesday??

Welcome Bloggers today I am Featured as one of the Design Team over at My Cricut Craft Room. Today is Would You Ever Guess Wednesday. I know I have a few new Blogger Friends. So I will explain to you what this is. Have you ever look at the Key pad on your Cricut machine and there are FEATURE KEYS. Well Erica wants us to show you what we can create ONLY using the Feature keys. This is so fun because if you are new to cricut, we show you what you can create and how to create things using the feature keys.

So this is what I have created!!!
This is a Birthday card that I have came up with. I don't know if I like the colors but it works. I made the cupcake from Demask Decor Cartridge. I use the Lovely Floral to make the border for the triangle. I added some pink, blue, and green ink to make a colorful background for the cupcake.
Here is a side view of my card

Then the inside of the card I added a little message that I stamped inside. It says Make a wish (a Big one)
I used all three inks and added them on the  message. I loved how that came out,
Well thank you for stopping by and seeing my card, now hop along to My Cricut Craft Room and see what the other ladies came up with!

Card Creating Sunday

Hello I hope you all started out your weekend off great. I know I have not been doing many projects lately. I have been going through some things well I call them trials that god gives me. I just found out that my best friend in the whole wide world ( MY MOM) is going to a kidney specialist and she only has one kidney and  she is a 2 on the kidney failure score board. 10 is the kidney failure. I'm worried but then I try to think positive and God has a plan for all of us. I just am praying that God keeps her around.

I am one of the Design Members featured over at My Cricut Craft Room. Today's theme over there is Card Creating Day.


I made this Birthday for someone's Birthday that is coming up. I made an envelope and a pretty card to match. I made a rosette and added a cupcake to it . The cupcake's are made from The sweet Shop Cartridge.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. Please leave me some love. Have a great crafting day and have a safe Halloween!

IMAGINE-ATION MONDAY

Well hello friends!! Hope you all had a great weekend and boy there was  a lot going on this weekend. Blog hops..K Andrews had an awesome Blog hop this weekend. Her Design Team rocked it. If you have yet visited her blog you should stop over at My Cricut Craft Room to see the line up.

I had my first ever Scentsy Party;Saturday Night and boy that was so much fun. If you are new to my blog Erica is my sister-in-law. So if you see me refer to Erica that is who I am talking about. She came and brought those wonderful and amazing treats that she made for the Blog hop for K Andrews stamps, they were a hit. If you have yet seen those stop over at her blog.

I wanted to share what My daughter (Haley) and I made for her school project. She had to decorate a pumpkin and it had to be a character from a book or movie. So she wanted to do 101 Dalmatian. So this is what we came up with.

Ha isn't it cute. I literally spent an hour and a 1/2 at pat catan's and was walking down the isles to come up with an easy way for her to do this by herself so she could actually say she did this and be proud of it.
I did help glue the ears and eyelashes.
Boy she is so excited to show her teacher!

Now onto my card that I made for Imagine-ation Monday. This is when you use a Imagine cartridge or paper and basically make anything creative.
Halloween is almost here, so I wanted to make Haley's teacher a pretty card. Here it is...


I love these accordion cards they are so much fun to do.
I used Imagine more Cartridge for the orange and striped paper. This Cartridge is so neat and the paper is amazing on it.




Well thanks for stopping by here and reading my blog. I hope you all have a great start of the week...STOP BY TUESDAY for Card Creating Tuesday! Don't forget to  see what the other  Design Team Members  came up with. I promise you won't be disappointed. Have a great Crafting Day!
