Day 59~ Moving Parts

Well this challenge was difficult to come up with but once I came up with the idea it was done in a flash. The brad is under the leaf on the branch so the monkey swings back and forth. If I were given this card, I think it would make me laugh! Hope you enjoy this card!

Day 58 ~Crazy 8's

That means we're looking for things in quantities of 8 - using at least 3 different items on your card, how about that?

Day 58's challenge was difinitely a challenge. I had a hard time finding clusters of eight that went with each other. So my three 8's are: 8 fish, sparkles and air bubbles ( not sure if you can see in the picture). Everything except the graduation hat are CTMH. My take on this card are that fish swim in schools and the one graduated! Hope you all like it!

Ok, so I am officially a slacker, well kinda. I have soen the first two of the week (posted below). The next two will be posted soon. Along with the challenges for 365 Cards, I am also working on some Top Secret projects. I need to make sure that they are done for the unveiling on May 1st.

Day 57~ Ad Insipred Card. This card brought differet thoughts and could not decide how I was taking the add. The first thing I noticed was the cribsets had turtles on them. All I have been able to think about was a turtle shell. I was inspired to create a card that looks like a turtle shell; no head. legs, or tail showing. I wanted this to be a shower card or for a mom that was overdue. That is why I posted the inside that asking the baby to come out of their shell and see the world. I had fun with this challenge. Hope you all like it as much as I do! Everything except the ribbon is CTMH!

Day 56 Super Sketchy Sunday

Well I found this challenge to be fun and interesting. On Sunday as I "pond"ered the sketch, I came up with many possibilities but none were an exact match. I was a little overwhelmed with stress as I was supposed to be doing finals but could not seem to those either. So I "hopped" from idea to idea. Today I found the paper that I wanted to use and then the juices started to flow and that is when I knew that "poppy is the most colorful flower in my garden today"! Hope you all enjoy this one. I adore frogs!

Well, what a long week. I have finally caught up and one for Sunday to go. I was not sure that I could do the challenges this week. I have some home challenges, finals at school too. So...

needle-less to say I have been on pins and needles to come up with the time to do it all. Did I mention that I also had computer crashing on Saturday so no productivity on the finals.... they will be done on Sunday! Wish me luck on my finals, Lord knows I need all the help I can get! See all of you on Monday when the finals are over to create some more!! The greatest treasures are invisible to the eye and found with the heart! Products used were all CTMH except the saftey pin.

Ok, I think I need a little help here. The first picture is supposed to be under the second one... what happened? Any advice? Well This card was fun for me because I rarely make girly cards well, little girly cards! All products are CTMH!

Oh..... my this was a challenge for me. What I thought was going to be easy turned out to be difficult. Everything used is Close To My Heart!

I had fun with this adding the sparkles in the center of the flowers so they would POP!

Save the Vegas Wedding Date! Thought about this one almost all week and couldn't find the right materials. Well actually the kids hid the cards from me. I think my favorite is the ring.. look real close and you can see the carat!

I am all caught up with this weeks challenges! I have been doing laundry which is not fun and making it fun because I am working on my cards in between. I have sooooo much creativity flowing through my veins at ohhhh, 3 am! I think I may be part vampire.... I think I may consider reading the Twilight series. So with that in mind, I took

Tuesday's Trio challenge! The challenge was for you to use at least one of each of the following 3 items:

Alpha Sticker - Stamp - Red

I made the card starting with cranberry CTMH cardstock and then thought I got it going on. Got what going on? Well duhhh, Game On paper from CTMH. I did however add a little contraban.... the U alpha sticker and in the corners I used shiney silver cardstock cut with a corner punch! LOVE IT! I thought this is a great card for graduation, birthday, Mother's Day, or just because of a job well done! Can't wait for tomorrow, I may have to stay up late just to see the challenge!

Monday's challenge didn't seem that difficult when I read the directions:

1) An item that is more than a year old

2) Something that you were given that you have never used - this could be from a swap or a gift, but it has to have come from someone else.

3) Something you forgot you had.

I read the first one, and finding something that was more than a year old.... well I thought I have lots of stuff, but what should I use, so I went on the the second one, hummmm I am not sure that I have received anything from someone else... I then remembered my friend Jenise gave me some ribbon the other day "I bet I could use". The third, well that was almost impossible..... If I had forgot about it, where would I find it; tucked into a sticker envelope I found the missing puzzle piece (literally)!

So there you have it, paper that is way more than a year old, ribbon that was given to me, and the missing piece to my challenge: the puzzle piece! This was a great challenge!

WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! I am so excited to start off the week with a new card done and out of the way! I have been working on older challenges from 365 Cards and saw this one. It sooooo looks like olives to me. Anyhow, I will be catching up and posting cards. Leave a comment and let me know what you think of my card! Here's to a great week. Cheers!

Day 43~ White Spaces

This was a great challenge. I sure wish I would have had this for Easter. I will difinitely have to remember this one for next year! All right ladies keep em' comming. I am loving all this creativity. You all inspire me!

Day 42~ Super Sketchy Sunday, well I am planning on posting in order this time. I have gotten started in the right direction this week. Let's hope and pray that I continue!

This was so much fun. Had mand ideas and found this to be my fave! All materials used are CTMH. Below is the Super Sketchy Sunday:

Found this challenge to be relitively fun! Love purple glitter it makes me happy!

I think so far this was my most challenging card. I thought about the design for several days trying to come up with some thing that I could relate to or with. I am a total "Daddy's Girl" and Father's Day is coming this is perfect. As my poem reads

"D edicated to

A lways love me even in

D isaster!"

Gotta love our dads!

Day 39~Totally Transferred.

Well I took this challenge and made two cards. The first one has a sentiment that says "Under the Weather" and the second one "Spring has Sprung". I counldn't decide which one to post so I posted them both. Oh my, what happened to Day 38? I guess I forgot to do Day 38 and Super Sketchy Sunday~Day 35. Hummmmm, check back and hopefully I have gotten around to the catch up cards! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of these! Thanks!

Ok, so I took the card challenge from 365 Cards. This is what I came up with. I kinda like it a lot! All of the products are Close To My Heart. It is amazing what you can do when you have a pattern to use. At first I was very unsure of the card. It was something that I have never done before. This was so much fun I think I may have to do another challenge! Watch out 365 cards here I come! Below is the pattern : Day #36 I Quilt! I challenge you to take the daily challenge and send me a picture of what you came up with! Can't wait to see your ideas!

Well good morning web land! I am up and at it all ready! I have edited my calander on my CTMH site and looking forward to sharing the new products available on May 1st! WoooHooo!!
So today I will be posting some creativity, the batteries died in my camera. Check back and you can see what creativity did to me this morning!
now, time for coffee!

So it is Thursday, April 1st, 1:45am and I am trying to figure out how to organize my scrappin supplies. I have clear jars and clear drawers, but need some help with cricut cartridges and all the other stuff. How should it be organized, what should I be able to see, what should be put in the cupboard? I am feeling a little frustrated and having a creativity block. HELP! Anyone?
Wish me luck, my goal is by Saturday night........................
