Cricut Cardz Challenge #115/Winner





Happy Wednesday!

Time for another great challenge!!  This weeks challenge is“Color Play” Make a card using any cartridge(s) and any theme you’d like, BUT using the colors red, yellow, and blue ONLY. You may also use black and white as accent colors. These colors are such a nice combo, so I found it easy to make this fun card!!!

Today I am using 3 carts, Crocs Rule for the clouds, Life's a Party for the card base (Free this week at cricut.com) and Beep Beep for the cute little girl in the plane!!! Mary's Cardz TV Stamps had the perfect sentiment "Wuz Up"!

 You can find that saying in the

 FAQ'S Stamp Set


You can purchase yours here!

I hope you enjoy my card, make sure you head over to CCC to check out my DT Sisters and enter the challenge!

Sorry I am late with posting the winner of my Birthday Giveaway, I was still quite busy last week, after getting my daughter married and doing some deep cleaning at home. DH and I also helped the newlyweds move in to their apartment.

Here are a few of my favorite pics of the newlyweds  and a video preview of the wedding:




Anyways without further ado, the winner of the Mystery Bag chosen by random.org is.........#21

After 3 attempts, calling it quits and then saying to myself, I just can't go without doing this challenge, this is what I came up with. Oh I didn't tell you what the challenge was.....

Cricut Cardz Challenge #114/TSQ Blog Hop Winner!




You can enter my Birthday Giveaway here!

 Hi everyone,

Time for Cricut Cardz Challenge 114, the theme this week is “Critter Cuties” Make a card using a “critter” (dog, cat, cow, chicken, duck, horse, etc.) from any cartridge(s), and using any colors or theme you’d like. This challenge was perfect, I had to make a thank you card for a friend. Her mother was in the hospital in Virginia I believe, anyways, they gave her a cabin to stay in compliments of the hospital. She said the nature scene was so pretty and so she wanted a nature scene for a thank you card. This is what I came up with.

I hope you enjoy my card and it inspires you to get your creative juices flowing and enter into CCC challenge, you will have a couple of weeks to complete your projects!

No on to the Winner of TSQ New Stamp Release Blog Hop! I combined both days together for a total of 72 entries and I used Random.org to choose the winner, so without further ado..... #6 from the first day.......
