My Creative Time/ Fourth Friday Challenge





Hi everyone,

I just want to say welcome to all my new followers, and say thanks for following my blog, I really appreciate it!

I just recently got a gypsy, so this will be my first card design. Emma's challenge at My Creative Time, was to use the Celebrations cart, which is mainly a birthday cart, however, you have to make a Christmas project. Well I seen this gift bag and thought it would go good with the little dog, used a tag from the same cart. I remembered that Gloria, from Girlia's Cards had made this wreath from a Martha Stewart's foliage punch, so I thought I would give that a try. I will also be entering this card into the Fourth Friday Challenge, which is to make a card with the theme of Holiday cards. Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa – even New Year’s – any Holiday card is fair game and Top Tip Tuesday, you have to make a card Christmas Inspired.

Here is my take on their challenges, thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Hi everyone,


I would like to say welcome to all my new followers and thanks for following my blog!!

I am getting in one more challenge, I surprised myself...lol, Emma from My Creative Time has a throw back Thursday's challenge. This week it is to use Everyday Paper Dolls cart or whatever older cart you have, you are to make an animal from that cart!! Well I seen this particular bird "Ostrich" I have to be honest, didn't really know what it was...lol. But I thought it would be kind of cute if he were having an identity crisis, hence "Gobble ?"...lol So I decorated him in fall colors. I hope you enjoy my take on these challenges.

My Creative Time-****Must be an "ANIMAL" theme project!

****Use "Every Day Paper Dolls" cartridge OR if you do NOT own this cart, feel free to use any older cartridge you have!

Hi everyone,

Time for challenges!! I really love autumn, the colors and the Thanksgiving holiday, I just don't care for the season after it. (Winter) too cold! Love CHRISTmas though.

ColourQ/Alphabet Challenge/CREATIVE INSPIRATION/Paper Playtime/Party Time Tuesdays




Hi everyone,

Just want to say welcome to all my new followers and say thanks so much for following my blog, I really appreciate it, more than you know!

Today I am entering a few challenges. First let me tell you about this card, my best blogging friend Gloria at Girlia's Cards made this card that I absolutely love... So I scraplifted it, but wanted to make sure I could enter it into some challenges. She did such a great job on it, so you have to check it out here. I didn't have the same carts and punch that she had, but found similar things to use. I changed some things to go with all these challenges, but the theme of the card is there. Here is my take on her card, I hope you enjoy it! Oh by the way, did I tell you I love her card?

Carts are Stamping, Celebrations and Don Juan

CARDZ TV/Creations with Christina/Made by Momo





Hi everyone,

Just want to say welcome to all my new followers and say thanks so much for following my blog, I really do appreciate it!

I am entering a few challenges today, I made this card without the cricut, think this just might be a first or maybe a second for me, that I am posting anyway. I think I will be giving this card to my Sister-in-Law, she is a real trooper! Just have to finish the inside. I used some paper that I have had for a while so not for sure where it came from, however the lace paper in the center is from Provo Craft.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!
