It's Scrappy Moms Stamps Terrific Tuesday Challenge!

Hello!

How's your week going so far?  I hope it's happy!  Can you believe it's time for another Terrific Tuesday Scrappy Moms Stamp challenge?!  I have to say I'm really enjoying the challenges!  It helps me to use carts that I might have pushed aside, and I get to check out your fabulous creations too!  So this week's challenge is to use Simply Charmed cartridge, well I don't have that one ( I can't believe I just said that) so I used Smiley Card cart, the style is very similar.

I don't know about you, but there I times when I'm just not happy with my cards.  Sometimes I think they just need one more thing, but not really sure what...but this one I'm so happy with!  I already have someone in mind that I'm sending it to.  I hope you like it as much as I do!

So on to the hop...the theme for this month is Lovin Touchin Squeezin...please start at the begining at Court's blog.  Court is a guest designer for the month of February, you will just love what she does!  If you got here from Lauren of Lauren's Creative then you haven't missed a beat!

I made this card with EAD Oh La La Stickerz and lots of welding on my gypsy to make the cupboard.  I got the idea of the cupboard from Bug Junkie.   The  following Cricut Cartridgeswere used to create the cupboard, Sentiments, Heritage, PlantinSchoolbook and Cherry Limeaid.  The banner is made with Carousel Cricut Lite Cartridge and stamped with Scrappy Moms Stamp ~ Love Notes

I've been a bad blogger girl!

Hi! 
I just wanted to confess that I have been very very bad!  Sometime in December I received several blogger awards.  I believe that I said thank you to the wonderful girls, but never posted anything about them.  Well last week I received one and the other day I received another.  Now I'm not tell you this to say how great I am, infact I'm telling you this because I feel terrible that I never publicly acknowledge the girls!  I tried to go back and find the ones from December, but couldn't.  So here are the two newest ones!

 Diana From Daisylove Creations her cards are just adorable!  She hasn't been blogging very long, but she has been paper crafting, because her designs are fab!

And Gina at GiGi Creative Designs, my very first blogging friend.  I would have to say that I consider her one of my Blogger Bestie's!  She always has a kind, encouraging and funny word for everyone.  She warm and friendly with everyone.  I really just love that about her!

Now I know there are rules to both of them, but I'm sometimes a rule breaker :)  I'm suppose to tell things about me that make me different, but I'm not.  I'm suppose to pick 5 people to give these to, but I'm not.  You know everything there is know about me...and the things that make me different I'd rather keep private! lol!  And how am I to pick only five...there's no way.  So if you'd like either of these awards you can pluck them off my blog.  And if you want to know the real rules go to Diana's and Gina's Blogs.  You know what head over to their blogs anyway!  I know you'll love what you see too!

Enjoy!

Hi!

Hope all of you are staying warm in the mid west and east coast!  Not trying to rub it in but it's a beautiful sunny morning and a warm 48 degrees.  I hope the cold weather doesn't freeze your creative juices! I have lots of exciting news coming...good things happening...but I can't tell quite yet!  Soon though...

So in the mean time here is a layout I did of my girls when they were so little,  they're grown women now ~ boy, it does go quickly!

I did some stitching on my sewing machine.  You may start seeing me do more of it...I really like the effect!

Enjoy your day!
