Celebrate the Occasion #41





Happy Tuesday!

It's time for Celebrate the Occasion #41! I do have to say I just love this card, as soon as I seen this sketch. I knew I wanted to use stamps for my creation. In order for me to use all the stamps I had chose and the mats I was using, I had to make the card 6x7. Green, black and white was the perfect color combination for me. Sometimes the colors that you choose makes all the difference. I love it!

Here is the sketch Birthday theme:


I hope you have enjoyed my card, please take the time to check out the other Design Team members and enter your creation at CTO!!

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

Birthday Card!




Happy Friday!!!

I have just finished black Friday shopping and have purchased more cricut lite carts at a really good price too!!! Menard's had a wonderful sale 12.99, got there a little late, so they were picked over but I still did well, there were 6 I didn't have, so of course I got those!  :)

Well, I thought I would get a post in, I will be entering this card into Mimi's Birthday Blog hop. If you have the chance, take the time to go through the hop and enter Mimi's Challenge. 

I hope you enjoy my creation, thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Blog problems!! UPDATE!!

Hi everyone,  I am having problems with my blog only showing one post at a time. I do have my blog set to show 10 post per page.  However, if I post more than one in the same day it will show, if I skip a day of posting it only shows that day. If anyone can help me with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it!
UPDATE!!!!

I just want to give Carri from Doubleclick Connection a BIG THANK YOU for helping me out with my blog problem.

YOU ROCK CARRI!!!!!!

If you are one to copy and paste pictures from other blogs like I was.... DON'T. You might encounter a bad site and it will mess up your blog post!

Cardz TV Design Team Challenge #1


Happy Friday!!
Welcome to the first Cardz TV Stamps Design Team Challenge!!!!!  This week we are creating cards that's "Just My Style". One of my favorite things to do are card folds, I love finding or creating different folds, I try to keep everything clean and simple,but this one has a little bit more. 

On one of the blogs I follow Crafting with Katie she has a tutorial on how to make this tri-fold card using your gypsy, since I do not have the E2 which has a cartridge for this particular fold, I wanted to try it her way. I do have to say, she did a wonderful job on creating the base. Of course I had to make it my own. So here is what I came up with, I hope you enjoy it!



Products used:

Stamped Sentiment: Cardz TV
Papers:  Coordinations, Recollections DCWV, Creative Memories and Walmart White Card Stock
Twine: We R Memory Keepers
Button: Walmart Dollar Bin
Glitter Glue: Martha Stewart
Adhesives: ATG and Zig 2 way glue

Now head on over to Cardz TV to check out the other creations the Design Team made and enter the challenge! You will have until Sunday night 11/20/11 to create your card. This only gives you 2 1/2 days....better get started, make sure you invite your friends to join in on the fun!!!  

Here is the prize that's up for grabs:
