You're Tweet - 2 Challenges

Wow, this was a challenge for me!  I wanted to make a card for Throwback Thursday; this time the challenge was to make use the sketch that she had and to make it 'Cricut-less'.  I also wanted to make something for Serenity Scrappers; the challenge they had was to use pastels. :)  So this is what I came up with. :)

Recipe:

• The stamped images were from My Cute Stamps (a set I got a long time ago)
• Ribbon - a WONDERFUL gift!!!!!
• Paper - scraps :)

Well, I hope you like it!  It was hard for me to make, but I love a good challenge!!! :)  Thanks so much for stopping by!!!!! :)

Flaunt it Fridays!

Wow!  Is it Friday already?!  I have no idea where this week has gone!  Anyone else have weeks like that?  I'm so excited for another Flaunt It Fridays challenge!!  This week the challenge is to use 3 Birds on Parade cartridge with the Disguise Bird.  Like usual, this is not a cart that I own.  I'm so glad we can use a similar cut (otherwise I wouldn't be able to participate in many of the challenges! LOL!)


For my DT submission I decided to use CAC for the little chick, and fortunately CAC also had a sunglasses cut. :)  I know it was supposed to be more of a disguise, but I AM READY FOR SOME SUNSHINE!!!!!  :)

Recipe:

• The chick was cut at 3.75 
• Flocking on the little belly (because I thought it would look cute)
• Hero Arts "Anyone Can Stamp" for the sentiment
• MS border punch
• Ribbon - not sure where it's from
• Misc. flowers and bling. :)
• Homemade pop dot on the beak (to make it stand above the glasses) 
• Scrap paper

I wanted to stick with a simple card.  Recently, I noticed that I kept wanting my cards to get bigger and better and more detailed; but realized that it doesn't need to be.  :)  Sometimes it's the cute and simple that are fun. :)  So even though it's simple, I still hope you enjoy it.


Make sure you stop by Flaunt It Fridays to see what the rest of the DT has planned.  You'll LOVE the creations, they are really amazing!!!  We'd love to have you Flaunt your stuff with us!!! 

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Flaunt It Fridays and a HELLO!!!!!!!!

Hello to all of my friends!!!!!!!!!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas (or any other holiday you celebrate).   We had a great time, the hubby had the 24th and 25th off so we were able to spend some time with him (he works so hard - we take what we can get).  We had some of our family come over later on Christmas day and (luckily) I had enough food for everyone.  My little ones wanted to go to my In-laws' house and my Mother-in-law was nice enough to take them; lucky me - I get to have a little bit of me time.  :)  I'm so glad (thanks Mother-in-law)!!! 

With my 'me' time I decided to participate in Flaunt It Fridays challenge.  The challenge is to use the turtle from Create a Critter.  They also challenged to make something other than a card.  Well I used the turtle; I made a card that has a gift card (or money) holder inside.  The turtle didn't turn out exactly as I wanted (the colors didn't quite work right), but it's still cute.  I had a wonderful friend send me a set of Peachy Keen stamps (EEEEEEEK - LOVE THEM)!  I stamped half of the face on it; I thought the face turned out super cute!!  I cut the clouds out by hand and inked the edges with silver (I know, it's a little hard to see it).

For the gift card holder part I glued the bottom of the pink paper (so the gift card wouldn't fall out the bottom); and then attached the four corners.  All of the paper I used was from my scrap box, so I'm not sure of brands (sorry).  If you have a chance stop by Flaunt it Fridays to check out the challenges (they're so fun)!!! :)  Thanks so much for stopping by!  I'm so glad you did!!!!
