May Design Team Challenge

I hope everyone had a productive weekend and made something for National Scrapbook Day. I also hope that everyone that acts in some capacity as a Mother had a super Mother's Day.

This week the Design Team was challenged to make a card following a sketch from 2sketces4u. Below is sample of the sketch.  

To see the designers take on the sketch please stop by Platinum Scraps. My take on the sketch is there. I am having problems loading my photo in blogger.

Cricut Circle Craft Room Post

A challenge on the Cricut Circle Blog For National Scrapbook Day was to post a photo of you in your craft space. I am posting a photo of me sans makeup.....I will post photos of my room within the next couple of weeks. I am having a hard time placing furniture. I finally got a Pottery Barn Bedford Project Table so I am still trying to figure out where I like it. But I love the desk...Heres me and my E2 and gypsy girl.

To Infinity and Beyond....

This week the challenge was a recipe card challenge. I also needed to make an Easter card for my sweet daughter and I wanted to make one to match her Easter Basket. My daughter is the sweetest ballerina girly girl you could ever imagine, but she has a special love for the Toy Story movies. Our absolute favorite of all time is me asking her to guess how much I love her and her always giggling and saying "mom, I don't know how much?" and my response is always the same, "To Infinity and Beyond". Yes we are corny but I love my sweet little girl.   The sketch:

Here is my take on the sketch and my daughter's sweet Easter Basket...

I hope you had a great Easter and to my sweet daughter Meg, I love you to Infinity and Beyond. 

I'm back.....

Check out what the design team there has revamped and done. Platinum Scraps now has a Team A-Layout Team and a Team B-Card Team. Can you guess which team I am on?????

Hello Kitty....

This week I used the Hello Kitty cricut cartridge to make a card for my daughter. She is a huge fan of Hello Kitty so I thought this was fitting. I thought the pieces would be a challenge to put together but it was easy peasy. Enjoy

This week I used a sketch from Platinum Scraps to make a card. Card making has always been my first love so I am always enthusied when card making comes around.

Monkey Face....

This is the layout that I made for the challenge over at Platinum Scraps. Stop by to see what the rest of the design team made. I used the new Lacy label cricut cart for my scallop circle, I used the winnie the pooh font for the title and I got the bananas off of Preserves cart.
