I am attempting to maintain a blog filled with random bits from my life and family as well as my adventures in crafting.

cardztv cupcake challenge


So I found another fun blog with challenges! It's cardztv.blogspot.com. This challenge was to use any sort of cupcake image. I chose to use one of the cupcakes from the Celebrations cart. I also just bought a cupcake stamp set from Roberts and I was able to use the "Yummy" stamp from that. How fun!!!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

I came across another blog that does challenges, which I find to be a lot of fun. Anyway, it is fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com and the challenge was to create something with a "sweet" theme. This is what I came up with. I LOVE this cupcake from the Home Decor cart.






So I was playing around with my new Mini Monograms cart and thought that I would try and put together a 4 card gift set for a friend. This is what I came up with, but I am wondering if some of the monograms are a little too big? Any comments/suggestions would be much appreciated!



Trying to figure out the subscribe option

Boy, I have spent most of the morning trying to figure out how to add the subscribe link on my blog. I hope I have figured it out!

Here are a couple of cards I put together. Like I have said before, I am just using scraps and playing around with the cartridges I have. I used George for the flowers and Mini Monograms for the scallops. The stamps are from a stamp set I bought at Robert's Crafts.

I finished this card up today, it turned out better that I thought. It took me a while to decide what I was doing with it. I used the Home Decor cart for the flowery scallop.

Here are a couple more cards I put together. I think they turned out pretty cute. I know that they are super simple, but sometimes less is more - right?
