H2H Challenge: It's a Triple Play

I decided to play along with the H2H Challenge today.  I am making a few items to give away to my Hostesses this month and this card happens to be a part of that.  And what do you know...I think I can count this card as having three of something to play along with the challenge!  I got inspiration for this card from a fellow CTMH consultant, Patti Rowe, seen here.  Thanks for stopping by!

Au Naturale: Heart 2 Heart Challenge

Hello all!  Sorry about my absence from blogging lately.  Just busy with life and Hostess Clubs lately.  I am hoping to do more posting this month.  Especially with some fun layouts I will be making at the Close To My Heart Album Retreat!  Yes!!!  That's right!  I am finally going to a Corporate event.  I am Sooooo excited!!!  We will be making a whole album over a weekend.  I cannot wait!!

I decided to enter this cute little card in the H2H Challenge this week.  I was experimenting with the Artbooking overlays for cards.  This overlay is found on page 47 and was cut at 5.25" Real Dial Size.  The Real Dial Size button is used a ton with this cartridge.

H2H Challenge: Tool Time

 

 

I'm back!  I did actually make a Father's Day card after my last blog post.  I need to make 2 more...so guess what I will be doing shortly!  I really like how this card turned out.  I was inspired by the card on pg. 57 of the May/June Papercrafts issue.  You can also see it here.  Just scroll down a bit. 

 

I am thinking this will be the perfect card for my wonderful Dad.  I will make one for my children to give to their Dad.  I also better whip one up for my hubby to give to his Dad....I think I will be a busy bee this afternoon!  I also decided to enter this in the H2H Challenge this week, called Tool Time.  My interpretation of this challenge is the fact that this Father's Day card is for my Dad who happens to love tools and I also used my favorite tool....the Cricut!  Works out perfectly! :)  Well...I am off to cut some more paper!  Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time.

Raindrops Keep Falling: H2H Challenge

Looking for a Fun challenge?  Head over to the H2H Challenge blog.  The theme this week is Raindrops Keep Falling...I love it!  I started out this card on the vertical, but it just wasn't working.  Once I turned it 180 degrees, it just looked so much better and the sentiment wasn't so lost in the mix.  I used OLD paper and stamps.  So great to use up my stash little by little. :)  I am also entering this card in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge.  Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time!

Sweet Easter Card: H2H Challenge #18

Popping in for a quick post.  My husband, kids, and I just got done prepping our garden for Spring planting.  It is absolutely gorgeous here in Montana.  Usually Easter time weather is rather cool, but not this year.  We have 60 degree weather!  I know...things can change and we will have a few inches of snow on the ground! 

I really love this card.  The little rabbits are so sweet.  These stamps are from a couple of years ago, the March 2011 Stamp of the Month, called Sensational Season.  I lifted this card from the samples CTMH had in the Ideabook.  I changed it a bit...but I love it!  I am entering this in the H2H Challenge.  This will probably be my last entry for the month, unless I squeeze in some time tomorrow.  Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.

Lucy Easter Card: H2H Challenge #17

Good Morning!  I am still plugging away at making cards and such for the H2H Challenge this week.  Although there is a prize at the end of the month for the most posts...I don't think I can pull that off, but I have had a great time! :)  I really like the way this card turned out.  I used Pattern #24 from the Make It From Your Heart How-To Book.  The egg stamp is an oldie, but a goodie.  I think I bought this stamp when I first joined CTMH.  I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do.  Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time.

Chocolate Bunnies & Eggs: H2H Challenge Entry #16

 

 

I don't know what it is about this Bunny, but I had to make a couple of cards using it.  I cut several Chocolate Bunnies with my Cricut at different sizes.  I couldn't let them go to waste!!  The fun grass with tulips was another cut from the Give A Hoot Cricut Cartridge.  It works perfectly for a spring time card.  I used Microsoft Word to make the sentiment.  I am adding this card to the H2H Challenge this week.  I can't believe I have 16 entries so far this month.  I have never posted so much on my blog since I started it.  Thank you H2H for all of the motivation!  Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.

Happy Easter Card

Good Evening!  I have been absent from my blog for a few days.  Thought I would take a little break from posting.  I saw a cute card on the Cricut Craft Room website and found some inspiration for a fun Easter card.  This little bunny is from the Give A Hoot Cricut Cartridge.  It reminds me of a Milk Chocolate Bunny.  Yum!  I also used a little bit of Liquid Applique on his tail.  I have not used this stuff in awhile!  I was impatient and didn't let it dry overnight...so the results probably could be better.  I used an older Mojo Monday sketch #280 for this card and I am also posting it on the H2H Challenge blog for this week.  Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.

Have a Fun {Tache} tic Day! H2H Challenge #12

 

Good morning!  I saw this super cute mustache card and had to make one for the H2H Challenge.  I have this REALLY old paper (I know...I saw that a lot!!).  It is from 2006.  Ponderosa gingham paper.  I didn't follow a pattern or cut out much using the Cricut.  For the sentiment, I used Word to type the letters and then ran a piece of cardstock through my printer. 

 

Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.
