Another bridal shower :)

This time my sister-in-laws in February :) I used the current sketch at Let's Scrap:

The pinkish patterned paper was punched with my Martha Stewart "Cherish" punch around the page set :)

I was inspired by the Spring challenge at Lasting Memories. So I used my floral My Minds Eye stack I picked up a few weeks ago from my local craft store.

These adorable flowers were made following this great tutorial from Helen! I am also entering this layout at ScrapFit :)

Now if only it would start feeling like spring around here ;)

Horsin' Around!

I loved the sketch challenge over at My Little Shoebox this month!

I made a layout using LOTS of different MLS collections - Green, Simple Life, Just Add butter, All a Flutter and more. The papers and patterns are so fun, they coordinate so well together!

I scrapped a photo of me holding my cousin's little boy, Declan, at a horse farm we visited. Let me start by saying I'm afraid of horses. After 2 terrifying experiencing riding horses, I swear, I won't be getting back on. But how scary could visiting the petting zoo be?

Well just look at this little fellow that decided to charge the fence while we peeked inside! LOL! Just another reason why horses and I aren't friends. You can probably tell by the "smile" on my face that I was freaked out!

The trees are cut A Walk in the Park patterned paper, while the tractor and sheep are from The Simple Life collection. I cut my "horsin'" part of the title on my cricut using the woodgrain patterned paper and the "around" are mini alpha stickers. Love those!

I trimmed down the orange scallop die cut to be a border for my 4 squares and mounted it on woodgrain paper. I used the yellow border strip in the middle, photo corners, and green/brown scalloped journal box from the All A Flutter die cuts.

I really like how it turned out! :)

Thanks for stopping by tonight.

Have a great weekend!

Bunny Hop :) :) :)

Good morning!

If you are hopping from Melissa's blog, you are at the right stop :) If you are just visiting by my blog today, you want to head back to Cricut Cardz so you don't miss a thing!

We are showcasing all things bunnies today :)

I made a square card featuring the cutest bunny from the new SVG set at MyScrapChick!

I cut him out with my Sure Cuts a Lot program on my cricut and pieced him together. So adorable! The "silly rabbit" stamp is from Emma's "Color Me Happy" stamp set!

What's a blog hop without *candy*? 

How about a brand new My Minds Eye 6x6 paper pad?! 

The Stella Rose collection is so pretty and springy!

April Showers Bring May Flowers :)

That's the theme behind this week's Paper Variety photo inspiration challenge!

Stop by TPV to see how the talented DT was inspired by this cute picture! Lots of fun takes.

I decided to make a card using these trendy rain boots!

I got my cute boots from my new favorite .svg site "Lettering Delights". These are actually a freebie when you sign up on their site! A must!

The prize this week at The Paper Variety is the "State Fair" collection from Studio Calico!!

I'm also linking up the new challenge at Fantabulous Cricut and Cooking with the Cricut :)

You Crack Me Up! :)

Sherry is having a fun card sketch challenge at Seasons of Change:

I decided to make a spring card for Fantabulous Cricut. I just love the Simply Charmed cartridge!

I love dressing up  my die cuts. I ran the shell through my Cuttlebug "D'vine Swirls" folder instead of cutting out the layers. I used the funny stamp "you crack me up" from Emma's My Creative Time stamp set for Paula's Wacky Wednesday challenge this week, too.

Hope you're having a crafty Saturday! ;)

Candle Card :)

I had to go out of my comfort zone for Christina's no cricut challenge! I decided to make my own candles by rolling up strips of striped patterned paper. I added some yellow floss for the wick.

I really like the masculine colors! The burgundy layer I ran through my Cuttlebug using the "argyle" folder. I left out the bottom inch to be able to stamp/emboss my sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Flying Solo

I made a quick layout this morning for a few few challenges. This one is for the San Francisco anniversary trip album. My husband was there for a conference over that weekend, so we flew out ahead of time together and did the "tourist" thing and then I flew home by myself while he stayed for work.

I used the current sketch at Sassy Little Sketches:

I really like how it turned out! Simple, with the focus on these amazing pictures out the plane window. I was so proud of myself for flying back by myself across country!

I used Basic Grey's "Wander" collection for the papers and embellishments. The title is made with Jillibean Soup corrugated alphas (love the negatives!)

There is a fun challenge going on at Get Cricky to "Pack Your Bags". When I looked through my photos I knew these would be perfect :)
