RCC challenge!!! SNOW!!!!

I have totally been on hiatus from the blogging world for the last 2 weeks!! I completely apologize....I was finishing up all my Christmas cards and crafts (I was sooooo late this year!! YIKES!!) and have now finally returned to normal!!! YEAH!! So, here is my New Year's Resolution: Be more faithful with my crafting and blogging! What do you think?

Here's my first project of the New Year! It's another challenge at Robin's Creative Cottage and we are working with her AWESOME stamps to create a project that has to do with SNOW (amazing...it is something that is lacking right now up here in Maine! A rare occurance for us in January!!!)

I used a sentiment from "A Snowman's Prayer" and also used some of my brandy-spanking-new Peachy Keen Corny Face Stamps that my hubby so generously bought me for Christmas!! :) They paired perfectly with the sentiment I chose from Robin's set! :)


Recipe:
Cricut Cartridge: Accent Essentials
Cardstock: DCWV
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: D'Vine Swirls
Stamps: Robin's Creative Cottage "A Snowman's Prayer" and PKS Corny Face Assortment
Ink: VersaMagic
Border Punch: EK Success
Buttons from my stash

Here's a close-up of the oh-so-cute sentiment!!! (I smudged the ink a little...oops!)


Thanks for taking a look-see!! Head over to Robin's Creative Cottage and link up your own project that has to do with SNOW! I can't wait to see what you all create!!

Celebrate the Occasion!! Challenge #10

It's time to Celebrate the Occasion again!! This week, the Design Team was asked to create a Birthday project that is inspired by the following sketch:







I'm not usually good with sketches...so this was a difficult challenge for me, although I was fairly happy with how it turned out. I created this card for my neice, who just turned 6...I had to keep the embellishments to a minimum since this one was sent in the mail. I didn't want it to get ruined! :)







And a close-up of the mini cupcakes:

Welcome Baby!! Shaped Card

I have a friend's baby shower to go to tomorrow....so I took out my new Gypsy and started creating! My hubby had recently bought me the Cricut Lite "Sugar and Spice" and the first cartridge I ever bought was "New Arrival" as I was preggo myself in 2007, when I got my first baby bug!! I combined these 2 cartridges with the "welcome" sentiment from Cindy Loo, shapes from Accent Essentials and Mini Monograms, and VOILA! A beautiful baby card!!
