PTI May Blog Hop!

This month the PTI blog hop is all about flowers! I thought this was perfect to show this sweet simple card I made for my brother & sisster-in-laws anniversary! I used the new PTI 2010 Anniversay set, of course, which I just received last week (it's amazing!).



Super simple, quick card! I stamped the flower stems in VersaMark ink onto some dark chocolate CS, than the flowers and sentiment in white. So simple, but very striking with the white on chocolate.
Thanks for stoppin'!

Challenge Me Monday #60

This weeks Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut was to make a card/project using both a rectangle and triangle. Well, I had lots of great card layouts in my head to do for this, and this is my final card:

I recently got the Buccaneer Cricut Imagine Cartridge and couldn't wait to play with it! The papers and images are so great! The pirates also have lots of great layering (as you can see) so it makes them look even better!
I printed/cut the pirate with layers and popped up each layer. Same with the treasure chest. Than I printed/cut the rectangle and square (which I cut in half for the two triangles).
Before adhering the pirate, I used a scissor to snip around his hand/wrist so i could layer the treasure chest underneath.
The quote bubble is also printed with the old scroll pattern from the Buccaneer cartridge, the shape is on the Imagine machine itself, than I stamped that great birthday saying from the My Pink Stamper pirate stamp set. It's a really great stamp set! Great quality, great sizes and great price! I'm really happy with the quality of her stamps as well as the great sentiments to use with Cricut cuts!

This was one of 5 kids birthday cards I did with the Imagine on Friday/Saturday for my 4 nieces & 1 nephew's family bday party on Saturday afternoon. I snapped pics of them all quick with my phone before stuffing on sealing, so i'll share the rest later! :)

Last one! I finally completed my last project for all of the My Pink Stamper NSD challenges! This is challenge #3- Breast Cancer Theme. Here's the link: My Pink Stamper


I decided to do a layout for the Race for the Cure. I don't have my pics yet, but I put mats for two photos on this page.

Sorry again if the colors look off, it's very dark now :) I used this fabulous Teressa Collins line that's all pinks, blacks & greys!

Have a great night!

My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge #2

Challenge #2- Kraft cardstock. I LOVE using kraft paper both for cards and scrapbooking. I decided to use it with some "kraft" patterned paper from Basic Grey basics as well to make a simple "guy" page for my husband's hunting photo.


Here's the challenge link: My Pink Stamper.

I used the Cricut Wildlife Lite cartridge & Camp Out mainly. I can't remember which font the year was, I believe it may be the Gypsy font.

Challenge #7- Scrapbook page. Here's the link: My Pink Stamper and here's my page:

I did the cuts for the tree freehand with a scissor. The "apples" is the Quickutz Yogurt alphabet dies.

My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge #12

Ok, I'm gonna quick post the last 3 challenge projects I have done, I think I have one more to do if I can before times up! Challenge #12- Kid's Theme, found here: My Pink Stamper. Here's my page:

Sorry it's so dark, bad weather here so the lighting's not great :)

The title says "My favorite Monsters". Looks like a lot of work, but those cuts go together so easy it's pretty quick!

My Pink Stamper NSD Challenge #4

Challenge #4- Mother's Day! Find challenge here:My Pink Stamper.
Since it was already Mother's Day when I started these challenges, I decided to try to make a simple card with a big bang. Here's what I came up with:

I used the Florals Embellished cartridge. All the main images on this cartridge are quite intricate, but it also has lots of great "mother" phrases, including this Happy Mother's Day. To kick it up a notch, I used some matching distressed stickles and stickled the word Mother nearly to death! :)
