Scrappy Moms Stamps - Terrific Tuesday Challange

Here is my submission for the Scrappy Moms Stamps - Terrific Tuesday Challenge. This time we were to use the cricut cartridge Sweethearts. I had not used this cartridge for a long time so it was nice to pull it out and play with it again. I decided to use the cute birds on page 67 of the handbook. I also chose to do a welded card which I don't try very often. I hope you like it! Have a great day :)

Supplies used

Birthday card for my Dad

Here is the birthday card I made for my Dad. My parents have a beagle so I thought that my dad would like it.  

I always have trouble making "guy" cards. I'm used to cute, pretty, lots of ribbon & glitter cards. I also did a square card this time....which are starting to grow on me :)

Scrappy Moms Stamps - Terrific Tuesday Challange

Here is my entry for the Scrappy Moms Stamps - 1st Terrific Tuesday Challenge. The challenge was to make something using the cricut cartridge Birthday Bash. I decided to make this cute puppy! I used bright colors to make the card really pop! I had to draw in the smile because the cricut cut was way too small to glue on.

Supplies Used

Martha Stewart Punch
Wiggle Eyes
Ribbon from Hobby Lobby
Black Stampin' Up! pen

My Pink Stamper's 1st Blog Hop

Robyn at My Pink Stamper held her 1st ever blog hop a few days ago. To know what the challenge was you had to visit every blog in the hop and write down the key word. The challenge turned out to be "Make a card, scrapbook page or something fun with my pink stamper stamps or the color pink". I decided to do both. I made this tropical drink card with a pink drink and the my pink stamper stamp set "Everyday Life".

Supplies used

I had first made this crab card for the My Pink Stamper blog hop but didn't really like the way it turned out. It still seems to be missing something.
