Here is what I came up with:
I created my project for Esther on the Die Cuttin' Divas team. For my project I started with a base out of some craft cardstock cut at a standard A2 size. All of my decorative paper is from My Mind's Eye - LOVE their paper!!! My layout is just layering different papers every which way :) I used some flat back pearls from Recollections and my Ric-Rac Ribbon is from American Crafts. The hearts are cut from Doodlecharms using the border feature, and I just cut them out of some light pink cardstock. My sentiment is from a Fiskar's Holiday Set and I used Momento Rich Cocoa for the ink. For the inside I used some more My Mind's Eye paper. I used Elegant Edges to cut the scallop border at the bottom. The heart was just in my scrap stash, so I can't remember which cartridge it came from. The sentiment is also from Fiskar's. Thanks for checkin in!!! Your next stop is my "Secret Sister" Esther, I sure hope she liked my card :)

Over at BBTB2, I am actually hosting this week's challenge!
I decided to go with Mother's Day because, well, it's going to be here in 6 days!!!
Are you prepared?!?!
Well, if not, this is a perfect opportunity to make her a card or project and show it off to the rest of us :)
So I hope you will join us this week!!!
Here is my project for my Mom:
My first shaker card!!!!
I had a lot of fun making this card and I have a video to show you how it all came together.
I used Doodlecharms, Walk In My Garden, and Elegant Edges.
I am also entering this into the challenges over at My Craft Spot (Mother's Day/Spring) and Exploring Cricut - Mother's Day Project & Use Ribbon - there are some awesome prizes up for grabs with their challenge, so be sure to check it out and enter your projects there too!
Here is a quick card I put together for a couple challenges this week. Exploring Cricut challenged us to create a card using 1 pattern paper, 2 Cricut cuts, and 3 different colors. The sketch comes from Mojo Monday. I will also try and link this up at My Creative Time for their challenge. I used Doodlecharms for the leaves and embossed them with Divine Swirls. I also embossed my banner with the Leaves embossing folder from The Paper Studio. My stamps are from Studio 112 and My Creative Time. Please check out my video to get all the details of how this card came together.
Here is a fun card I created for BBTB2 (water theme) and Die Cuttin' Divas (just because) challenges this week. I pulled out the oldie but goodie Doodlecharms for this card. I have never used the palm tree or sun from this cart and thought this would be the perfect opportunity! I had an awesome sentiment that fits nicely with this beach scene too, so that was a bonus! I used yellow glitter paper for the sun, which I'm pretty sure came from Colorbok (Wal-mart), and the white sandy beach I created with some fun glitter paper from DCWV Linen Closet mat stack. I had some of the sky and water paper in my scrap stash, so it's always nice to use those up. The sun is popped up on some foam tape as well as the front palm tree, just for some added dimension. I did run the leaves through the Cuttlebug using Swiss Dots, and I think everything just turned out great! Thanks for checking out my card!
This is a fun layout I found in the Mojo Monday archieves and I put together a birthday card for a few challenges this week - My Craft Spot "Tasty Treats" and both Paper Playtime and Craftin Desert Divas issued "Anything Goes". I used the DCWV Sweet Stack for the patterned papers. The pink glitter paper is from Wal-Mart. I cut the cupcake from Doodlecharms and the cherry from Home Decor. The scallop and circle are from Accent Essentials. I also had some flat back pearls from Making Memories that I used - a first for me! This is another card that I will be giving to my MIL to give to one of the many girls in the family - I could even be getting it back for my birthday :)
This little card turned out so nice! I am excited about finding new sketches and seeing what I can do with them. There are three challenges that I will be entering this card into. The first is Whimsical Wednesday "Go Green", the second is Little Scrap Pieces "Emboss It", and the third is Cut It Up "Pinterest Inspired". I found a card/layout on Pinterest last week that I really liked, I pinned it but hadn't done anything with it. When I saw Cut It Up's challenge, I went back and found the pin. It led me to stampdoc.typepad.com and the blogger said she got the sketch from MojoMonday. Crazy little loop for me, because I decided I am going to start looking through their archives to find fun new sketches to work with. Anyway, the embossing fit perfectly with Little Scrap Pieces' challenge, and I knew I wanted to use the fun green patterned paper for the Whimsical challenge. It just all came together so nicely with these challenges complimenting each other in my little craft brain. The butterfly came from Doodlecharms and I used fun glitter paper for that. I used Mini Monograms for the Scallop and Circle. The embossing folders I used were Cuttlebug's Juli's Garden and Bloom Dots. I cut the scallop border using Spellbinder's Classic Scallop Edgeablilities. The little "sunshine" stamp is from the Making Memories "Flutter" set. This was such a fun card to make, I hope you like it!
Bitten By the Bug 2 and Whimsical Designs issued challenges this week having to do with winter because it's been so cold lately. We experienced more single digit temps in January than I can remember...it was COLD! Anyway, this cute snowman was cut from Doodlecharms, then I ran him through the Cuttlebug with the Divine Swirls folder and tied some WRMemory Baker's Twine around him for his scarf. His blown-away hat is from Create-A-Critter as well as the phrase.
Alrighty, a little about me. First off, my real name is Emily, not Mollie. Mollie is a nickname I picked up long ago and it has just stuck. I am married to an amazing man, he is my complete match and he has been in remission for 2 years after a hard fought battle with cancer. WAHOO! We have a son who is 6 years old and he is crazy, smart, and so much fun to be around! We also have a 3 year old daughter, who I am absolutely in love with! I am a stay at home mom, which was a huge adjustment for me - still is actually, but I know it's what I am supposed to be doing. I love many things, but crafting has become my new favorite. Oh, and if I had a million dollars - I'd be rich!
