Scrappy Mom's Rock Princess Challenge

Scrappy Mom's is having a challenge using "Rock Princess"  I love their stamps, I have 3 sets (I can't find one)  Amazing animals has the saying "You're the Cat's Meow!"  That was my inspiration.  I used the cat cut on page 53.  I decided not to cut the layers.  I really wanted to showcase the papers I used.  I also used the diamond cut on p 56.  Check out Scrappy Mom Stamps at http://scrappymoms-stamps.blogspot.com/  I haven't decided if it will be for Valentines or a birthday.  My daughter, Lanie loves cats.

I made this card for a challenge at CCC cricut cardz challenge http://www.cardztv.blogspot.com/2012/01/cricut-cardz-challenge-100.html The challenge is to make a summer themed card.  Even though this is summer themed, I may use it for Valentines Day.

I am really enjoying playing with Core'dinations "Sand it, tear it, emboss it, love it" collection.  The popsicle is the Whitewash collection.  It is white over green.  When you sand the embossing the green pops out.

I'M BACK

This is the first time since the day after Christmas that I have been on my blog.   Right after Christmas my family got the stomach flu, then coughs.  I was unfortunate enough to get a reoccurance of the flu a few times.  The good news is I lost 15 pounds with out trying.  On top of that I worked some crazy graveyard hours for inventory,.  Today I am celebrating feeling great by doing some crafting.
