Digital Dessert Fridaze at My Paper Crafting

Well folks I did it again, totally forgot to post this.  It's been one crazy week here and a doctor gave me news that I really didn't want to hear about my heart and of course it is Lupus related. So if you would say a little prayer for me I would be grateful!!  Now it is Friday and that means it's Digital Dessert Fridaze over at My Paper Crafting.  I  picked the digi of a little bear having strawberries and shortcake! He is so cute and of course this is a spring dessert my family loves having only instead of shortcake I make hot milk cake. Yum Yum!!! You can find this cute little digi here. I colored this cutie with my Spectrum Noir markers, I used some liquid pearl to make the whipped topping look so creamy and my stamped sentiment is from PTI. Now remember to get crafty with us and link up.  Go to My Paper Crafting to read what the rules are and to pick up your free digi that Melin so graciously gives each week! As always thanks for your wonderful comments, they really make my day!

Flourish!-My Paper Crafting Challenge

Ooops, I totally forgot to post this today! And the sad thing is that I reminded myself yesterday to not forget to write up this post and I forgot anyway.  Yes, I'm sad folks. lol  So our challenge over at My Paper Crafting is to use a flourish on a project.  I got all my die cuts from the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. I inked everything with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink. Used some stickles for some bling and a Viva pearl pen for the flower center. I also used some hand dyed ribbon on my sentiment mat.. Simple and quick card!

Wedding Bells Are Ringing! BBTB2 Challenge

Hello my crafty friends, it is Monday again! Were do these weeks go?! Anyway it is time for a new challenge over at BBTB2. Our sweet design team sister Julie challenged us with "Wedding Bells are Ringing".  Well they will be ringing at my house in June of 2014, #5 son is getting married! So for my card, which I will save for DS's wedding, was made using the Art Philosophy         
Cricut cart for the heart doily, which I heat embossed with some glitter embossing powder, the wedding couple is from the Wedding Solutions Cricut cart. I dry embossed my card layer and layered onto an A2 size card base. I'm not sure the maker on my embossing folder. I kept everything pretty much white, except for my wedding couple and the "glow" of the embossed glitter.  The inside I stamped with a SU sentiment, the "Mr. & Mrs." is a MCT stamp/die set.  That is it! Simple, easy peasy!  Please go check out the awesome projects my design team sisters have for you, there will be lots of inspiration for you!!  Then follow our simple rules on the side bar and link up a project with us.  We so love when you get crafty with us!

Don't Eat the Daisies! MPC Tags and ATC's

Hi my crafty friends, it's time for My Paper Crafting Tags and ATC's!  All the products on my tag is from My Creative Time.  I cut out my tag, then cut out my daisies-using my Spectrum Noir markers I colored my daisy centers and my stems.  Then I cut out my jar out of some Cricut packaging. I used my Spectrum's again to outline my jar.  I embossed my tag with my SU clouds embossing folder.  I use my Fiscars grass punch to punch the grass.  That's it folks, stapled my ribbon and and I was done. Go to My Paper Crafting and see what inspiration my design team sisters have for you and then make a tag or atc of your own and link up with us.  We love when you come and get crafty with us!!

Office Supplies-My Paper Crafting Cricut Challenge

Hi my crafty friends, today at My Paper Crafting our challenge is office supplies.  After thinking about this for a long while and not really liking anything I came up with I decided that I would decorate my grand-kids art bin. Now I know that an art bin might not necessarily be office supplies, but around it it is. lol Just think of it as office supplies for toddlers. I keep this little art bin around with these items in it for them to play with when they come over. I have to hunt up my pencils for them, so they aren't in the bin yet. lol  I used Locker Talk for my pencil, crayons, and scissors.  I used the Pooh marker font for the word "markers".  I tucked in some black paper behind the drawers and then attached the icons on the front with some ATG tape.  I think the grand-kids will get a kick out of their little  tub now and they are all set with some new crayons and new markers, plenty of coloring books too. I do however want to get them some books to write in and draw in. Won't you go check out what my inspiration design team sisters have for you?  Then why not make your own "office" project and link up with us.  We so love when you come and get crafty with us!! Thanks for looking!!

Man-Up - BBTB2 Challenge

Hello my crafty friends, I hope you all had a great weekend.  Our weekend was a good one up until Sunday.  I got a call from a dear friend that her husband had passed that morning.  Can I tell you that this friend and I met on the Cricut mb through the One Hour Challenge thread.  There was 8 of us who remained close friends after the thread stopped.  Well Vickie was one of that eight.  We all have been through all of Vickie's husbands medical needs, we were praying for Larry.  But Larry passed because God knew he had had enough. So God took him home on Sunday.  I know that Larry is in a much better place, with all his family who have passed before him. I'm happy that Larry didn't lay and suffer for long, God was good.  Vickie knows that Larry is in a better place too, but of course it is still hard losing your best friend.  Please keep Vickie and her family in your prayers.  She is a strong woman and I am in awe of her but she is going to be needing support for a while.  Thanks everyone!

Now onto my project.  Our super sweet and oh so talented design team sister, Jayne has given us the challenge to Man Up here at BBTB2!! lol  She wants us to make a box or bag for a guy.  Well you would have thought that this would be easy for me since I was the only girl out of 7 guys.  It wasn't. lol  I just couldn't think what I wanted to do.  Then I decided that I would make a box for my son who is deployed in Afghan for Father's Day.  Of course I will make my other son's who are fathers one too. I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More 2 for my box.  I used some brown military paper since he is in the mountains and were this type of uniform, to place on my box, I made a rosette out of it using Tim Holtz's rosette maker.  I used My Creative Time ticket die and stamps to put sentiments on the box.  I am going to put some dark chocolate in the box for my son since this is his favorite kind of chocolate and send to him for Father's Day. I kept this box plain and simple because of how far it would be traveling. Now I thought this box would be just that, a box, but after cutting it out I realize it was more like an exploding box. So I used some tape on the inside to "connect" each panel together so it stayed a box.  If this isn't the way this box is supposed to cut could someone tell me because I have obviously done something wrong. lol  I hope you all will go check out the great inspiration that my design team sisters have for you and then get crafty and make a "man up" box of your own.  Use your Cricut's and link up with us, we love when you come and get crafty with us!!!
