Oceans of Love

Good morning everyone... 

I have some great news... I was asked to be a guest designer at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog!!  whooohooo!!! This was a first for me and I am completely honored to have been asked.  

Oh my goodness are these fish not the cutest fish you ever did see... 

I used my snake skin cuttlebug embossing folder for the fins and made the fish with the Animal Kingdom cart.  The tag cut from the Close to my heart Art Philosophy Cricut Cart.  Can you tell I love it!  Almost every paper craft that I have been making lately I have been using this cart!!

I also love the Viva glass pens they are so easy to use 

It looks like these little fish are kissing and the heart is right in the middle 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut - label

2 Sister Challenge Blog - embossing  

365 cards - #327 shape up

I feel completely honored to be chosen as a Spotlight Guest at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  Take a look here!


This morning I woke up super early well... (when I say super early on a weekend that means before noon - lol)  and made this card

I tried to use a cart that would normally not be used for Valentines -Mini Monsters, and the Halloween sayings from Krafin Kimmie Stamps - I think they go pretty good for Valentine's

 Inside the card I crossed out the sight to say bite - teehee... 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

what's cookin - LMCB

Good morning everyone! 

Lasting Memories has another challenge up for you this time you need to really be creative and use a recipe - a real one!  We are being sponsored by one of our own - STACIA who will be sending out this amazing pack to who ever is the winner... so you must give this challenge a try!!!

It has been quiet the challenge but I have decided to go with a recipe that no one else would ever have.... Papa's Specialty (formally know as Dad's Special - until 19 years ago when my daughter came into the world). 

When I was younger my brother and I were always busy in the evening between girl guides, bowling, baseball, hockey, boy scouts... I am sure you all understand.  We struggled to have a quick and easy meal that would fill us up and get us out the door.  My dad thought of a dish... now don't laugh.... 1 package of hamburger meat browned up, a can of cream corn and a can of brown beans.  Served with toast and maybe a salad but back then I didn't eat vegetables.  Believe it or not it actually tastes amazing... later my dad used mushrooms or hot sauce to change the flavor a bit but we have it now as a family quick meal.  One day my daughter will carry on the tradition to her children on those busy evenings.  Here is the LO I made with my dad's recipe in the LO

 that of course is a picture of my dad... I don't have any of the recipe sorry 

 close up shot of the cute little pieces I made with my cricut and new gypsy, the star came from Close to my heart cut outs 

and of course the recipe 

I would like to enter this layout into the following challenges:

DYSU - pattern paper

Crafts 4 eternity- embellishment recipe 

scrapFIT - Kraft card stock

Pixie Dust studio- dotty

Frosted Designs - Sketch 

 

Hope you like it and have an opportunity to submit your LO.  Have a great day and sending you all hearts <3
