My Pink Stamper DT Entry

I was so happy when I actually got my entry for My Pink Stamper DT was done. It took me a long time to get an idea for what I wanted to make. I wanted to make a shaped card that I hadn't already done, and I found this one and fell in love with it. 

The Challenge:

Make a Card, LO or Project using your favorite cartridge and the colors Orange, Turquoise, Green, Brown and one other color of your choice. 

I made this awesome card for the challenge and used all the needed colors and added pink, which is my favorite color. I used my favorite Cricut Cartridge, Create A Critter for my card. The Sentiment Reads You make me smile and is embossed with Green Embossing Powder. 

Recipe:

Card Base from Accent Essentials, 2 welded together @ 5" (Real Dial Size)

Card Layer from Accent Essentials @ 4.75" (Real Dial Size)

Stump is from Create A Critter @ 1.5"

Skunk is from Create A Critter @ 2.25"

Happy Birthday Girl

I just made this card for my cousin's birthday the other day. I have been on a roll making cards since last Thursday when I got some friend time (All we do is craft). And now Hubby left again for work to the beach and I am stuck home alone for the week again. I am a little bummed! I do have to say that last week I was an emotional wreck, and I had no idea why. That was the first time since we have lived together that we were apart. He came home this weekend and we got to go to our first Hockey game last night. It was different but really fun! I do not feel like I am in a crafty mood again. I happen to think this happens more on days that I work since I am tired when I get home.

I have also felt really bad cuz I have a puppy here at home that has to stay in the kennel while I am at work and I have been having to stay late at work and then by the time I get home she has been in there for 10-11 hours and it's only 4 hours until I have to go to bed and it all starts over in the morning. I really wish it would stop raining so that I could take my puppy to the dog park. She is really mellow lately but I think it's because she is depressed and her daddy is gone. =( It makes me feel so bad!! She clings to me like static lately. 

Ok, enough rambling. Here is the card I made:

Recipe:

9 x 8 Kraft Cardstock folded in half to make a 9 x 4 card

8 3/4 x 3 3/4 Green Mat

2 x 3 3/4 Pink Strip

Girl is cut @ 6" with the Shadow using A Child's Year

Stampin Up Whisper White Satin Ribbon

White Sakura Jelly Roll Pen

Thanks for stopping by!!!

P.S. I am going to be crafting with my Bestie on Thursday and then Friday we get to go to the Scrapbook Convention that is in town! So EXCITED!!!!! Can't wait! Friday I will be doing a post on all the goodies I got =)

*Birthday Cards*

These are 2 Birthday Card that I made today. I used my brand new Once Upon A Princess cartridge. I am so excited for this cart. Now I am just waiting for the princess faces to go along with it. 

I used Swiss Dots and D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug folders on both of these cards. I also used white satin ribbon from Stampin Up. I got the buttons from the dollar section at Michaels. I also used some twine on the buttons.   The punch is from EK Success that cut out the Happy Birthday, which is a stamp also from the dollar bins.
