Cricut Cardz Challenge - Father's Day

Happy Wednesday!  It's challenge day over at Cricut Cardz Challenge!  Today Mary challenged us to make a father's day card.  Here is what I came up with:

The silhoutte on this is cut from A Child's Year.  The paper is all from CTMH, both patterned and cardstock.  I bought the stamp at my LSS, it was just a loose, unmounted piece of rubber, so I have no idea which company it's from.  I doodle using my Sakura Jelly Roll pen.

Please hop over to CCC. see what the fabulous DT came up with, and play along with us!

A challenge or two for my little card:
Dream Valley Challenges - for that special guy
Scrappy Frog - celebrate men
The Crafty Pad - let's hear it for the boys
One Stop Craft - father's day
Card Makin Mamas - father's day
Phindy's Place - father's day

I am hoping to get into my craft room this afternoon, and have something new for you tomorrow, but I definitely have something for you on Friday!  hope to see you then :)

52 Weeks of Tags - April Showers

Happy Friday everyone!  It is challenge day at 52 Weeks of Tags.  This week Janis challenged us to make a tag celebrating April Showers.  April is one of my favorite months of the year.  My birthday is the 8th and my son's is the 25th, it often has Easter, and is, usually, the end of winter here in Nova Scotia, and winter is my least favorite season, so all in, lots to celebrate.   Here is my tag:

 The tag is cut at 4.5 inches from Plantin Schoolbook.  I cut the girl from A Child's Year at 3 inches.  The ribbon is from Michaels.  The sentiment is from a Close to my Heart set.  I stamped some flourishes on the background paper.  They are from a CTMH set as well.  You can see the flourishes a little better in the picture below.

I hope you all hop over to Pause Dream Enjoy, see what the DT came up with, and play along with us.  Tags are so fun and rewarding to make, they come together so quickly!

A few challenges for my little tag:

Paper Playtime - umbrella cut

Paper Pretties - april showers

Victorine Challenges - april showers

Crafting for all Seasons - april showers

Inky Impressions - april showers

Little Red Wagon - umbrella

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

Sorry this post is a few hours late, we just got back from a glorious Thanksgiving weekend at White Point Beach with my Mum and Dad and the kids. The weather was INCREDIBLE!! Unfortunately, I didn't have time to work on this post before I left, but here it is now...

Yesterday, I the honor of being a Spotlight Sunday designer on Fantabulous Cricut, and am a guest designer for this week's challenge. The challenge was to do a project you could hang on the wall. Here is what I did:






A few weeks ago on Pinterest, I came across this frame, that someone had converted into a weekly calendar. I always have a hard time keeping our week straight, and the kids never know when I'm working, or what nights Mike has meetings, this seemed like the perfect option :)

I found a frame at Walmart for about $15. I cut out Our Week with Pooh Font, and the days of the week were cut with various cartridges - Robotz, All Mixed Up, A Child's Year, Baby Steps, Gypsy Font and Opposites Attract. I used 8 different patterned papers that I had in my stash for the backgrounds and adhered the titles. Each frame is 4x6. I then attached a dry erase marker to the side with a ribbon so i wouldn't lose it, and voila! The perfect weekly organizational tool for my busy family.

I hope you all come play along today at FCCB, and that all my fellow Canadians had a fantabulous Thanksgiving :)

A la prochaine...
