Hey Ya'll! I used the Retro Faces from Peachy Keen Stamps again to make my cute little guy from the Block Party Cricut Lite cartridge. LOVE THESE FACES WITH THIS CARTRIDGE!!!!! Just a REALLY simple card, but I wanted to share it anyway!

I hope your week is off to a great start!!!!

Hugs!

Block Party Card

Happy Friday everyone! Cheers! I used the Block Party Cricut Lite cartridge to make this super simple card. I didn't even add a sentiment or any ribbon because I didn't want to take anything away from her super cute face! I used the Retro Paper Doll Face Assortment set from PeachyKeenStamps. I think they go PERFECTLY with this cartridge! ADORABLE!!!!

So I raise my glass to you! ;o) Cheers to a great weekend!

Clink Clink!

My Cricut Circle Kit Came....FRENCH MANOR Card

Bonjour, mes copains! Le FedEx man brought me my Cricut Circle Kit a few hours ago, and so I HAD to bust out a card with my new French Manor cartridge! I have to say this cartridge is trés belle! I used the Sabrina line by Making Memories. Can you believe NO kraft cardstock??!!!! HAHAHA

Well I hope you are having a merveilleux day!

Au Revoir !

Peachy Keen Challenge 32

Hello! It's time for another PeachyKeen Challenge! The challenge this time is to create a card or a layout based on your favorite vacation destination. Your project also must include one of the following 3 things...buttons, brads ,or bling. So, for my card, I chose to do my favorite vacation spot Disney World. And, more specifically, my favorite ride/attraction the Haunted Mansion! I actually LOVE to wait in line for it because of the funny/clever things they have written on the tombstones. So to mimic that, I made up "stampy" sayings for mine. I actually cracked myself up with the middle one! HAHA!

Almost everything came from the Mini Monsters Cricut Cartridge. Here's what didn't...The clouds are from Stand and Salute...the moon is from Don Juan...and I hand cut the little cobblestone path to the Haunted Mansion. I used the Make a Monster Face Assortment for my two ghosts. For my menacing moon I used the Monster Mash Face Assortment. I hope you will pop over to the Challenge Blog and play along with us! You could win Boogie Board Max, a Memento Ink pad, and an acrylic block! Have a great day!

You are DYNOMITE

Happy 4th of July everyone! I hope you're having a GREAT day! I am happy to report that after 4 years of celebrating this day alone...I will NOT be alone next year! Woo Hoo for shore duty! Anyhoo, this is just a really quick card and it didn't turn out all that great, but I figured I'd post it anyway. I'm sending it to my sailor and I know he won't notice that it's not my greatest! LOL I used the Independence Day Seasonal Cricut cartridge for the firecracker, and used the Feeling Groovy Cricut Lite cartridge for the "dynomite".

Here's my Simba in his 4th of July vest! HAHAHA

And here are two of my Jinxy-Cedrika. Blurry cuz she is NEVER still!

My poor poor felines! LOL!!!! Their Grandma makes them all kinds of cute outfits! hahahaha Can you imagine if I had a little dog that LIKED being dressed up??!!! Look out Paris Hilton! HAHAHAHA

Happy 4th of July!!!

Thinking of You

Hello and Happy Friday! I don't usually post personal stuff on here, but if you're the praying kind, we could sure use your prayers! My Father in law had a stroke on Sunday and was then admitted to a rehab facility to get better, but then he suffered a seizure and ended up back in the ICU. He is currently on a ventilator, which they say is sort of a preventative measure, but it is nevertheless terrifying! So, if you care to add him to your prayers, that would be greatly appreciated! Now, back to the craftiness! ;o) I made him a get well card, but haven't posted it....I will be sending this to my Mom in law as a little encouragement...I used the Lacy Labels Cricut Lite cartridge for this card. That cartridge is just downright GORGEOUS! I love love love it!

Just a simple card. I added some pretty prima flowers, and gave the button centers. All papers are from PaperTreyInk.com. Well, I hope that you and yours have a FANTASTIC 4th of July weekend! Later Alligators!
