READY SET BLOW

Hello.  The sun is shining today, I love how bright the house is.  BBTB2 is having a Cricut phrase or word challenge.  There are some great cartridges with words on them, my favorite two are Once upon a Princess and Sweet Treats.  I chose a sentiment from Sweet Treats.  The card base is DCWV, the solids, and the candle paper are Paper Studio.  I used a cuttlebug Birthday embossing folder, The crinkle ribbon is form Elegant Bits in Niles, CA.  The Skittles are from DOUBLE CLICK CONNECTIONS.  I am also linking up to DL Art January Linky Party and to LITTLE SCRAP PIECES-Show It Off Saturday Linky Party.

I HEARD

I heard It's Your Special Day.  I made this card for an upcoming party celebrating several of my nephews birthday.  DIE CUTTING DIVAS are having a sketch challenge.  I used Sweet Treats Cartridge.  The patterned  papers are MME, the solids are DCWV. The sentiment is from My Creative Time. The sentiment die is Spellbinders. I used Skittles by Carie on the corners.

CRAZY MONTH

Hello.  The month of December was crazy for me.   I had to be at work at 5am.   Most nights I don't get to bed until 11pm.  My daughter came home at Thanksgiving and left today.  She bought her two tiny dogs with her.  Then the toilet overflowed in her bathroom, we had to tear up the carpet in 2 bedrooms.  Hope to arrange for new carpet soon.  Also I had 42 for dinner on Christmas Eve.  So i apologize for not visiting your blogs for the last few weeks.  I hope to get back on track soon.  We have inventory on the 9th and 10th, which involves a few more overnight shifts.  Then i can relax.
Here are the goody bags I gave to my co-workers for the holidays.  I got these yummy Eos Lip balms at Costco.  The box is from Sweet treats.  The bird is from Jolly Holidays. The sentiment and sentiment dies are from MCT

MAG CHALLENGE #53-SWEET TREATS PAGE 70

Happy Friday.  I hope you are all going to get some crafting in this weekend.  It is time for MAG Challenge #53.  Check out what the amazing projects created by the DT MAG This week the challenge is to use page 70 of Sweet Treats"  This was quite a challenge for me since I don't know anyone who is turning 6 or 66.  So I used the flames as peacock feathers and the tag feature.  I used my Gypsy to make this project and when I first did it I counted over wrong and cut the wrong tag.  Remember for MAG Challenges you can only use the cuts on page 70 of Sweet Treats".  You cannot use any other Cricut Cartridge, page or cut from another cartridge (even if it is in you stash.)  However feel free to use any stickers or stamps you may have.  This week I used alot of chipboard pieces .

BOOM> CHICKA< BOOM

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head?  Ever since Easter when I cut my first chickie from "Create a Critter", I have had an old campfire, preschool song in my head. "Boom Chicka Boom"  I thought "I know there is a crd in there somewhere"  Finally I put the thought on to paper.  Only bad thing is I keep walking around the house singing.  I am entering this into two challenges.  First Scrappy Moms Stamps http://scrappymoms-stamps.blogspot.com The challenge is to use "Sweet Treats"  I have one of thier stamp sets "Amazing Animals"  that I use alot.  The stamps are terrific with fun sayings and fonts.  I also entered it into a challenge at Celebrate the Occasion, where the challenge is to use a birthday hat.  http://celebratetheoccasion.blogspot.com/
