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.

H2H Challenge: Go Green Bike Card

I really am trying to post as much as I can to win a prize on the H2H Challenge blog....I think I have my work cut out for me, though.  I love this bike image from a past CTMH campaign.  It is so whimsical and sweet.  The sentiment is not CTMH, but goes really well with it.  I tried to put as much green and spring into this card for the challenge.  I hope you enjoy it!  Thanks for stopping by!

March Hostess Club: Cards

Here is the first card for my March Hostess Club.  I still have quite a bit of this older paper, Rough N' Tumble.  One of my favorite boyish papers.  I saw this card on fellow consultant, Allisa Chilton's blog and thought it was so cute!  I had to come up with something similar.  I am also using Baker's Twine on all of the cards this month...kind of like a product feature.  Some of my customers have bought some, but I am trying to encourage most of them to buy it.  I use it on a lot of projects.

Card number two for them to make.  I found this card for inspiration.  The card is in the back, left of her photo. We will be meeting at a later date in May for the Hostess Club, so I thought I better squeeze this in so they have one made before Mother's Day.  I really love the new Chantilly paper.  I think it is my favorite in the Spring/Summer Idea book...although...every single paper in the new book is my favorite.  How do you decide?

March Hostess Club Layout: LaterSk8r Goes Green

It's that time again to post my Hostess Club Layout.  I started making a totally different layout for this about a month ago.  I just wasn't feeling it...so I started over and came up with this awesome layout with my oldest son's pictures.  I like to have pictures already on the layout for my club pages because they can visualize what to place on them and I have a completed layout.  I used a layout from the Make It from your Heart Vol. 1.  The pattern is the first one in the book.  I am also entering this layout in the H2H Challenge this week because it is full of Green...the theme of the challenge.  I hope my club members love this layout and it is a good thing all of them have boys in their families.  Thanks for stopping by!  See you next time.

Go Green: H2H Challenge STAY LUCKY

Go Green!  That is the theme this week over on the H2H Challenge blog.  This little pillow box was simple and fun to make.  I used the December 2012 Stamp of the Month for the fun St. Patrick's Day saying.  I really hope CTMH puts this set back in a future Ideabook.  I just love it, and I think a lot more of my customers would buy it.  I plan on filling this up with some of my favorite candy...Rolos.  I hope you like my Going Green project!  Thanks for stopping by!

Freshly Made Sketches #76 & H2H Challenge

Happy Friday, Everyone!!  I am excited about this weekend because my handsome husband is home and there isn't something major going on this weekend...I am thinking date night might be in the works!
I am participating twice this week in the H2H Challenge for this week.  The more you enter this month, the better chances you have to win a special prize at the end of the month.  Also, I used the Freshly Made Sketches sketch for this card. 
My card could not be complete without using really old retired CTMH paper.  I can't remember when this paper pack came out...but it was quite awhile ago.  It is for sure a very Spring-like paper.  Works really well for the H2H Challenge.  I hope you enjoy this card.  Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Monday!  Mojo Monday that is!  I actually completed a Mojo Monday card on Monday.  Okay...I know that isn't that exciting, but I guess it is for me. ;)  I have been wanting to ink up my Pun Fun stamp set and this was a good opportunity.  I love all the sweet sayings and images in this stamp set.  You better order one too before it retires!  I am going to keep this short and sweet.  Thanks for stopping by.  See you next time!

Mojo Monday 282: Some Bunny Loves You

Phew!!  It's Friday!!  Another week behind us and one day closer to having my hubby home.  He has been gone for 5 weeks.  It feels like he has been away for way more than that.  Probably because I am home with the three littles by myself and I one of them is not feeling good.  I am hoping to see his handsome face on Tuesday.  Never thought I would welcome in the new week, but I am!

This little card is my take on the Mojo Monday sketch for this week (Mojo 282).  Easter is right around the corner, so I knew this would be a good theme.  The little bunny is so adorable and the saying that goes along with this set is precious.  A perfect card to hand out to someone I Love.

I hope you enjoy this card and please keep visiting my blog.  I also would love a comment too. :)
