Happy 4th of July!

Just received Scrappy Moms "Yankee Doodle Dandy" stamp set and the sentiments are soooo perfect for my 4th of July cards.  Decided to try them out with cards for my little niece and nephew.  


I used the "Cricut Decals" cart on my new Expression 2.  I cut each of the patterns at 3.5 inches, but had to change the eyes a little as the eyes just shred when cutting ... they are so small.  I added Action Wobbles to the little girl and boy so they are "waving" their little sparkler and flag around!  Hope they like them!

Mr. Pink's Photo Inspiration Challenge

Pink By Design's "Mr. Pink" has a GREAT challenge going on right now ... Create a project, card, layout or something else that is inspired by the picture below ...

I must say, Mr. Pink has great taste in photos .... wish I could jump in there right now and grab a tasty daiquiri.  I chose to create a card using Pink By Design's "Summer Vacation" stamp set for my sentiment.  It is definitely one of my favorite sets I have of Sarah's.   I used the Pack Your Bags cartridge for the beach scene and the SpongeBob Squarepants for the tiki frame.  The printed paper is from Bella Blvd.

"Lotso" Birthday Hugs

My son turned 17 on Tuesday ... just wanted to post this card I put together for him.  He had quite the encounter with Lots-o-Huggin' bear on our trip to Orlando this past March and I thought he would get a kick out of this.

Don't Worry ... be happy!

This was a really fun card to make for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge at My Creative Time.  I have been wanting to use this cute little girl on a card for quite some time and this was just the push I needed.  Emma's adorable sentiment stamp is just perfect for this ... from her "Turn That Frown Upside Down" set.

The challenge involved using any of the Lite cartridges and some form of "bling".  I chose the Playtime cart for the little ice cream girl and Twinkle toes for the frame shape.  Of course, she needed a Peachy Keen face to go with it!  I used Glossy Accents for the little tear in her eye and the ice cream scoops.
