As usual I wanted to get a plug in for my message board. It is free and we have a bunch of wonderful ladies. We have scrappers, crafters, readers, and other hobbies. As well as a lot of different mommy areas. If I can get the crafting/cardmaking/scrapbooking sections and other sections busier than they are now I plan on do monthly contests there where peeps can win prizes as well as the fun I already do on my blog.

It would truly delight me and make my day to have you all on the boards.

Oh and I have lost one pounds! Between the Zumba, Treadmill, and Ab Glider Pro I am finally starting to see results! I know only one pound. But I am syched. Now to keep it up and learn how to tone up.

It isnt gonna be easy now that school is out and the boys will be home eating all the time in front of me. So hopefully I dont lose my will power as they tease me with thier yummy treats:)

Now onto my project for the day. I used my cricut imagine and the Imagine More Cards Cartridge. The sentiment is one of MPS's fun stamps. I did two and dressed them up a little different. One with just ribbon and the other with twine and a button:)

I want to add a special Thanks To Crafting Katie For helping me see the potential in this cartridge:)

I'm entering this in the 'Made It Myself Mondays' weekly linking party on You Had Me At Craft, so you should do the same with your projects this week!

Have A Frog-Tastic Birthday

I wanted to start off by saying thank you to all of my new friends. What a fantastic idea Momo had. And I was so excited to find all those awesome blogs that I never knew where out there.

And I only need to have 8 more followers to do some blog candy:)

Now for my card. I think for the first time ever using my stickles ruined the card but I decided not to trash it because it was a fun card to make.

I used my Paisley Cricut Cartridge for this project.

First I cut the cupcake at 3 inches.

Then on the same cartridge I cut the frog 3 inches too.

I cut off the pieces of the frog I wanted to use.

And then I assembled the cupcake sliding the pieces of the frog between the layers of it.

Added googly eyes. And a strip off glittered paper for the tongue.

The paper is from the DCWV Dots Stipes and Plaids pack.

The sentiment I typed on my computer.

I also wanted to say thanks to those who left me an award over the last couple of days.

I will be by tomorrow to pick them up and send them out to others.

I want to remind everyone of the different giveaways I am doing over at the message board.

Easter Cricut Cartridge Basket

Hey everyone:)

Since Easter is around the corner I decided to play with the Easter 2010 Cricut Cartridge:) I made a cute little easter basket:)

Also please start watching http://www.chatterscene.com/ this week as I will be announcing a new contest where there will be a chance to win a cricut cartridge. So hop on over there and join us and watch for the post ( on thursday ) giving details about the contest. The contest is over there and not on my blog.
I love to see new people over on the paper crafting sections of the board. So come and play with us.

There will be a very fun blog candy here too as soon as I reach 200 followers:) So send people this way and help us get to 200 follwers:)


Okay now for the basket:)
I took different views so you all can see it well.

The basket image on the cart.
For this basket I didnt use a certain size.
I tried and was kept being told it was too big.
So I just used the fit to page option and chose cut.


The cute border on bottom I cut at 2 1/4.


I put stickles on the boarder and a cute flower and brad on top.


The ribbon I wove through it is the Stampin Up Old Olive.


Thanks for stopping by. Please leave a comment and I will be sure to stop by your blog as well:)

Nifty Fifties Happy Birthday Card

Hi everyone.
Just popping on today to share a birthday card I whipped up for my father in law:)

I used the Nifty Fifties Cricut cart car.

cards and scrapbook pages. I really want to think out of the box and get more creative. So wish my luck. lol

Also as usual inviting you over to my forum to chat at http:/www.chatterscene.com

Birthday Card Campin Critters

I hope everyone is having a fabulous start to the week.

First I wanted to invite you all to come chat with us over at the message board.
http://www.chatterscene.com/csboards/index.php

I really love having all of my crafting friends over there:)

I wanted to share the card I made for my mother in laws birthday. I used the cricut Campin' Critters cartridege to make the card. I cut the duck at 3 inches.
I used Pink By Designs stamp set called Wood Land Critters for the sentiment.

Hoppy Easter Card

Good Morning everyone? What do you all have planned for the weekend? I am gonna be out trying to get all of my errands done this morning and then DH and I have date night with out the boys tonight:)
I am so happy with how warm it is starting to get here in CNY. I am loving that all the snow is finally starting to melt. I was getting so tired of all the gloomy weather.
I also wanted to tell everyone that I bought the Crafter's Companion Rock A Block set and I am loving it. My stamped images have never come out clearer. I do need to go out and buy a smaller stamp pad though so that I dont accidentally ink the edges of the blocks. The rocker part.
I also wanted to invite you all to come chat with us over at my message board. Chatter Scene we have a fun paper crafting area where I do give aways once in a while:) The ladies there are very nice and very creative. The more peeps there sharing ideas the better:) We also have other areas of the board for those non crafters as well. Lots of mommy areas. And very little drama. Which is nice on a message board.
Okay now to my card. I whipped up this hoppy easter card using the Animal Kingdom Cricut cartridge and the DoodleCharms Cricut Cartridge.
I cut the bunny rabbit at 3 inches.
The basket was about 1 inch.
I colored in the eggs with copic markers and then added some fun glitter flock to them.
The hoppy easter sentiment was computer generated. I didnt realize I didnt have a good easter stamp. So I printed it and punched it out with a stampin up punch.
The ribbon was just a ribbon I picked up at the local craft store.
I used Peachy Keen animal faces to stamp the face on the rabbit.
I also used chalk to give him a bit of color.
And of course as always I added stickles:)








Took two pics because I am practicing different settings on my camera to get more clear pics.

Cow Layout

Happy Monday everyone:) What is on the agenda for the week?

I have a ton to do. I want to get my spring cleaning done. More layouts and cards done. I also have some cuts to make.

I did this layout using the Animal Kingdom Cricut Cartridge cow. The cow is cut at 3 inches. I used peachy keen animal faces stamp for his face. I also used the Walk In My Garden cricut cart bee. The bee is cut at 1 inch.

I also used the cricut imagine to do the background paper with the clouds. I did this using the cricut imagine Hopscotch pattern cartridge. The sun is from Accent Essentials Cricut Cartridge. The sun is cut at 2 inches.

I again used the Martha Stewart Fringe Scissors on the grass.

Of course I added lots of stickles glitter.
