I Want To Be A Princess....

Howdy all!  Happy Friday to ya - its been a great one here crafting and even had a lunch date with the hubby!

Emma at My Creative Time With Emma issued a challenge this week to do a project with a Princess. 
Well, I had one idea in mind but couldn't get it to work, so I put that aside and made a card instead.  My Fairy Princess card was created using the Once Upon a Princess cart, Die Cuts With A View glitter stack, Glass gems by Tulip and ribbon from Hobby Lobby. 

Have a super fab weekend!!

Tropical Heatwave!

Howdy friends!  It has been H-O-T here in the great State of Texas!  But we got some relief yesterday with some rain and a cool front!  I found a great place to get lots of good information and just to have fun.  It is called Fantabulous Cricut and they issued a challenge on Monday to do a project with a Tropical theme.  All you have to do is use your Cricut for a part of your project.

Here is what I came up with:  I was relaxing in my studio, thinking "hmmm, what could be more tropical than a yummy beverage in a pineapple!!"  I found some fab papers and got to Cricuting!

Happy Anniversary!


Howdy friends!!  Today is my Anniversary! 15 years ago today, I was so blessed to marry my wonderful, dear hubby! 

As I was thinking about what kind of card to make, I searched through my Cricut Carts and came across the Nuts About U on the Create a Critter.  I KNEW immediately that is what I wanted to do - so off I went to my studio where I started grabbing scraps, bits and pieces.  Before I knew it - I had a card!

Now, here is where I LOVE multi-tasking projects!  While I was checking in on all the sites I follow, My Pink Stamper and her new design team had a DT post!  Great work as always!  At the end of her post, she invited us to make a critter/animal card to share.  Head over there and  check out all of the amazing work!

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Thursday!!
