Cricut Cartridges

Hello everyone,
Have you had a chance to check out the new Cricut Cartridges yet?  I especially love the cute Create a Critter and the Mini Monsters.  They are so stinkin' cute! These new cartridges seem to be coming out fast and furious these days.  Oh, what fun!! 

You can purchase these cartridges and many others - for a great price - through ScrapbookPal.com.  It's a great online store.  I've placed orders in the past and was really impresed with the rapid shipment.  Check it out!

Scrapbook Layout for a Change

Hello and happy Monday!

I've decided to make a double page scrapbook layout for the Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #29 - Anything BUT a Card.


I haven't incorporated stamped images in my layouts before, but I'm really enjoying this idea.  Here's a closer look at cutie pie Charlotte.  She's definitely still my favourite image of the Moonlight Whispers.  Although I have a strong feeling that Perfect Poison will be a new contender! *grin*


And here's my second page, of my 2-page layout.  I always make double page layouts.  It's a habit that I can't seem to break.


Well, it's Monday night so I must go check to see what Nurse Jackie is up to tonight.  Anyone watch that show?  I love it.   They have so many interesting and complex characters.  Not to mention the writing and acting is amazing!

Good night!

My 4-in-1 Card

Hello and a very happy belated Mother's Day to all the super duper Moms out there, who happily sacrifice for their children.  I have the greatest mom in the world, so I'm lucky enough to have a wonderful role model who inspires me everyday.

I'm entering four challenges with this card.  I hope you like it.  I used Kraftin Kimmie's, Cindy & Mindy - You Lift Me Up image.  It seems like forever since I've crafted, so I dusted off my Copic markers to colour.  The paper and cardstock are from my stash.  I couldn't possibly remember the company...  I have way too much paper to keep track.  LOL.  I added some embellishments of brown pearls and pink buttons.  The sentiment is also from the awesome Kraftin' Kimmie stamps.


The first challenge that I've entered is for Kraftin' Kimmie Challenge #28 - Neopolitan Colour Challenge.  Using the colours pink, brown and ivory was the inspiration for my paper choice. 

The second challenge is for A Spoon Full of Sugar - Challenge #102 - Furry Friends.  I had not yet had the opportunity to ink up this image, so this challenge inspired me to break it open.

The third wonderful challenge that I decided to enter this week, is the sketch challenge for Paper Sundaes Challenge 17.  As I mentioned, it's been a while since I worked in my scrappy corner, so this sketch was very helpful.

And the final challenge that I entered is for Cupcake Craft Challenge 90 - Buttons.  I couldn't decide on what buttons to use or where to put them...  But in the end I'm pretty happy with how the card turned out. 

Hope you like it.  Have a great night!
