BBTB2 - A Little Birdie Told Me

Happy Monday!!!

How was your weekend?

Hopefully you are rested and ready

for another challenge over at

BBTB2!!!

Spring is here and the Birds are a-Chirpin' :)

This week's theme is to use a bird on your

cards or projects.

Simply Charmed was one of my first cartridges,

and I love this cute bird image from it!

I cut it out at 3 1/2" along with the shadow.

My b/g paper is from SEI and

the border paper is from DCWV.

The sentiment is from Studio G,

the glitter gems are from Michael's, and

I popped the image up on some foam tape.

I'm all about easy peasy lately...

half my craft room is packed away awaiting

our move!

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 this week!

Spring Flowers

Bugaboo Stamps and they have donated the images

the Design Team worked with on our projects!!!

Prize:

My Project:

I love this Flower Stamp from Bugaboo!!!

It is totally me :)

Anyway, I used my Bic Mark-It's to color the image.

I shadowed it with some pink cardstock

and used my corner rounder on all the edges.

My b/g paper is from CTMH.

The "Thinking of You" is cut from George.

I used some Enamel Dots from Michael's

for embellishment.

Super fun Spring card!

Decorate To Celebrate - Be Happy.

Happy Wednesday!!!

Welcome to another challenge over at

Decorate To Celebrate

where Anything Goes :)

For my project today, I needed to keep things simple :)

My life is CRAZY right now and half my

craft room is packed away waiting to move.

So with what supplies I still have access to,

I decided to make a super cute wall decor tile.

I started with a 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 porcelain tile

I picked up at Home Depot a while back

and adhered fun textured cardstock to it.

I then cut out my favorite flower from George

using some spring patterned paper along with a shadow.

It is cut at 3".

I stamped a simple sentiment from

Studio G at the bottom,

added twine to hang it with and

WHALA!

Done and Done :)

I hope you will join us over at Decorate To Celebrate!

Happy Friday!!!

What a week! How's yours been?

Well, in honor of April Fool's Day today

Cut It Up wants to see funny projects

for the new challenge:

Cut It Up!

Include a Joke or Riddle

Sponsor:

As Cute As a Button

$20 Gift Certificate

My Project:

So I have to admit this card is not new,

I made it 3 years ago, but it is perfect for April Fool's

AND it is one of my most favorite cards I have made :)

So my card isn't necessarily a "Joke" or "Riddle",

but it is an unexpected answer from the old adage of

"when life gives you lemons"

But it is definitely my Motto...

Drum Roll Please.....

Ha, bet you didn't see that comin' ;)

LOVE IT!!!

Anyway, I used Simply Charmed for the lemon/limes.

I also used Just Because Cards for the glass image;

I used vellum to create a shinier effect.

The b/g papers are from Echo Park and DCWV.

 I inked up the edges with some Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink

and used ribbon from American Crafts.

I printed the phrases out from my computer.

If you love Diet Coke as much as I do

and haven't tried limes with it...

I highly recommend it,

I has made my life much happier :)

Decorate to Celebrate - Thank "U"

Happy Wednesday!

Welcome to another challenge over at

Decorate To Celebrate!

It's another Anything Goes Theme,

so link up your projects :)

My SIL asked me to help her with some Thank You's

for her Professors at the University of Utah.

She is graduating this Spring with a Master's

and I am so proud of her dedication and hard work

with getting her degree while managing a

household of 5 kids ages 18 - 8.

She's a superwoman!!!

Anyway, I used Outdoor Man for the "U",

Everyday Pop Up Cards for the Grad Cap,

and the sentiment is from a Hero Arts set.

It was super easy to put together,

and good thing too because I made 20 of them :)

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Spring Fling and Easter Things

Happy Monday!

What a day!

My husband got the all clear from the Cancer Clinic today!!!

He had a Bone Marrow Biopsy a couple of weeks

ago with the fear of a relapse,

we got the results today and he is still in Remission!

Happy Day :)

Anyway, over at BBTB2 another challenge has started

all about Spring and Easter.

How awesome is this egg cut from Designer's Calendar?!?!

I think it is fabulous :)

Every year I am the one to host the Egg Coloring Event

with my nephews, nieces; of course my kids are there too.

It is one of my most favorite traditions!

The adults hide the eggs on Easter Sunday for

the kids to find and once we think we have found them all,

we make Potato Salad and Deviled Eggs - YUMMY!!!

My b/g paper is from CTMH, the egg paper is DCWV.

I had a scrap border that I used which kind of

gave the feel of "grass" I thought.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts.
