A Girly Dragon Birthday Card

The challenge this week at the Doodle Dragon Challenge Blog was to make a girly dragon card. So I decided to use this cute little birthday dragon from Dustin Pike's collection. I decided to use the sketch at Papertake Weekly Challenges this week. Also, Charisma Cards had a birthday challenge this week that required a candle to be somewhere on the card!

A Birthday Chick

Lindsay is on a roll this week folks! She's got her Easter stamp set ready to release! I took one look at this cute little chick and knew I had to use her for something! Well, I wasn't quite in the mood to start making Easter cards just yet, so I got some inspiration from another blogging friend and used her sentiment to make my own card! It's a birthday chick card!

I used this week's sketch from Mojo Monday.

A Place to Store my Markers!

Hey folks! I'm back. I've been a bit absent lately. My husband and I both had the stomach bug this weekend. Ugh! No fun. I'm finally feeling better and decided to do something crafty. I bought some more Bic Mark Its at Big Lots this weekend I already had most of the colors in the box, but there were a few I didn't have and for just $4.00, it was a good buy. Well I decided to create a cute little container to put them all in. So I dug out this empty Quaker Oats container that I'd been holding on to. I knew I would use it one day! It was just perfect for storing all those markers! I covered it in this cute polka dot paper from My Mind's Eye. Then in my Publisher program, I created this color palatte with all the names of the colors. After printing, I colored each circle the correct color. That way it would save me time deciding which colors to use in the future! I'll probably decorate the top sometime in the future, but I just wasn't up to it today. Here is a clipboard I did last week and just haven't had time to blog about it. I love these papers. Reminds me so much of elementary school. It would be a great gift for an elementary teacher! I just modge podge to adhere the paper to the clipboard, then reattached the clip and added some ribbon! I'll be putting it in my craft booth for sale.

Birds & Branches... Spring is on it's way!

I was so excited to see what Lindsay had in store for us this week. She has created the most darling Birds & Branches Set! You've got to check it out! My head was just buzzing with ideas of what to make with this set! So here it is!

I used the sketch from Friday Sketchers.

As you can see in the close-up, I cut out a second set of the little birdies and used tiny pieces of pop dots to adhere them to the card. To keep the pop dots from being too noticeable, I colored them hot pink to match the birds.

Here is what I put on the inside of the card. The font is called "Little Days".

Our Family

Well today was a dreary day in Kentucky. It was overcast and about 40 degrees, but slushy snow still remains everywhere. So needless to say, we all stayed indoors today. I decided to play with my cricut and do something crafty.

First of all, I cut this beautiful tree for the project below but did it too large, so then I decided to use it on a scrapbook page! I had this 5x7 photo from a while back when our son was just a year old or so. The tree is a freebie that can be found at Blu Mama's blog. The title "our family" is part of free collection that can be found at SVGCuts.com



Here is another scrapbook type project that I did. It is inside of a clear plastic frame that has large magnets on the back to place on your refridgerator. Once again, the title is a part of a free collection at svgcuts.com. The tree is a freebie from FreeSVGs.com. The word art in the circle is from ElegantWordArt by Bethany. I plan to sell this one in my craft booth.

Valentine for my Hubby

I was totally stumped for what kind of card to make my husband for valentine's day. I didn't want to make a sappy one, but I'm not the best at coming up with funny cards either. Thankfully, my good friend Lindsay gave me some inspiration. She was on the ball this year. She made her card a few weeks ago and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to use the same sentiments for my card (or close enough anyway). Here is her original post.

I wasn't sure if I wanted to just use a clipart of a cow or make one with my cricut, so I just set out browsing google for ideas. Then I came across this old black and white photo. Inspiration hit! To me, it looks as if this is a hot shot business man talking to some young farm boy about girls. haha. So this is what I imagined he would say to the boy: "Remember boy, don't buy the cow if you get the milk for free." haha.

Hopefully my husband will get a kick out of it! Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine for my Hubby
