Hoot Hoot Whoo-Ray!

Gahh...I haven't posted in so long!! Almost a week! I don't think I've gone that long since I started my blog in March. I am really trying to get to my craft room and not having much luck. And I am soo sorry I haven't been around to comment...my real job is keeping me super-busy and then the holidays and family. I apologize and I am going to get caught up with everyone this week, I promise!

 

I had to make time to visit my craft room so I could use my new Twinkle Toes cartridge that I won from my dear friend Melanie of In Love With A Bug!! Thanks again, Melanie!! I LOVE it!! I used the adorable owl cut. I embossed her with the Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and Spellbinders Flowers plate. I attached each layer with foam tape for dimension and I attached her with a wobble so she really dances! For the background, I used a Spellbinders Nestabilities lacy squared die and embossed it with the Flowers plate. The background paper is from My Mind's Eye.

And I used the K Andrew Designs Owly Hoo stamp set. Aren't these awesome??!!

To Everything There is a Season and WINNER!

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope you are having a great day! I just have not been able to find time to enter challenges lately, or to visit everyone and see what amazing projects you have made. So today, I spent a little time in my craft room so I could enter two of my favorites, and I hope to visit your blogs tonight before the family arrives for Thanksgiving!

For this card, I used paper from My Mind's Eye. The bird in the tree was cut at 5 1/2" from Winter Frolic and I attached all the layers with foam tape to give some dimension. Isn't this image awesome? I just love it! I used a Fiskars punch for the leaf border. The label is a Spellbinders tag punch. I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz Fired Brick Distress Ink. I added some crystals to the top right corner with my iRock and a black gem for the bird's eye.

I absolutely love this bible quote. The stamp is from K Andrew Design's Scripture Sayings set. Look at all the beautiful and moving quotes on this set:

Aren't they just incredible??!! To order your own set or to see the entire line of K Andrew Designs stamps, click HERE.

Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! It's time for another fun Challenge Me Monday at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog!! The challenge this week is to create a card or project using the words "Thank You".

For my project, I used a mixture of papers from Fancy Pants and DCWV. The edge of the green paper was punched with a Fiskars punch. I embossed the pink paper with the Cuttlebug thanks folder. You Rock was cut from the Stamping Solutions cart at 1 1/2". The guitar is from Rock Princess, cut at 4". I added crystals to the guitar and a button with twine from the Twinery. Thank You is from the K Andrews Design Winter Wishes stamp set. Click HERE to purchase this set!
