Robyn is looking for SMORE Design Team Members

Let me start by saying that I love stamping, scrapbooking, and papercrafting. I am also a mom of 5 so life gets very busy at times. I MAKE time to play with all of my crafting goodies otherwise I would never get a chance to use all that I have. Robyn from My Pink Stamper is looking for a couple more people to participate on her design team. So she has given a challenge to create a project, card, or scrapbook page. The twist is we have to use our FAVORITE cartridge along with the following colors (Brown, Green, Orange, Turquoise, and another color of our choice :optional). So, I am excited to share one of my projects using my new favorite Cricut Cartridge-- Camping Critters. I just got back from Girls Camp with my church so I have camping on the brain. I bought Camping Critters so I could make goodies for the girls at camp. I never did get to make those goodies. I did however make a huge poster and put all of their pictures from camp. It turned out very nice. I'll post a picture of that soon. Well, when Robyn suggested using the color Turquoise, Brown, Green, and Orange I started looking through all of my cardstock and printed papers. I found the Happy Camper paper line from Imaginisce and it had ALL of those colors AND it is SUPER adorable. This project that I have here is an idea for a Secret Sister gift at camp. In the back pack it has a little bag of nuts. The other treats are a make it yourself SMORES kit. This gift is perfect for a first time camp attendee or otherwise known as a first year girl. Hope you like it! Good luck to everyone that has participated. I love all of the cards I have seen posted so far. Fun Fun!

In the Kitchen

I love the From my Kitchen cartridge simply because I love all things cooking. I made this card for my SIL for her birthday. She is the process of getting her kitchen remodled. I thought this card would be appropriate.

Favorite PEEPS!!!

This card was made using SVG cuts Easter Morning. I just love these adorable little yellow peeps. Now yellow is actually not my favorite color to eat. I prefer pink.
I thought light yellow would look much better on this card. I used the salutation "One of my favorite peeps" from Amuse Artstamps. Peeps make me happy! How about you??

This is my Pink Cat Digi Book! I created this book so I could keep track of all my Pink Cat Images. I wanted to be able to view them quickly and easily. So I categorized them by seasons and themes. I have a paper binder as well. I like this type of binding because it is easy to turn the pages. As my collection of digi images grows I will always have this handy little reference.















I have a friend who is visiting Hawaii this week. So I felt this card was appropriate. She was my inspiration for creating this card.

Pink Cat Studio

These are paper piecing projects I made for Pink Cat Studio using the Cricut!

These images are adorable and easy to use. I love how PCS has their cuts user friendly and

at a reasonable cost. I can't wait to see what else is in store.

I haven't had time to blog much this year. I have barely posted anything. Here are a few projects I have been working on the past few months. The little tote bag and goodies I made for my daughter to give to her secret sister at girl's camp. The Christmas Poinsetta card is a 3-D card using some really neat punch out images. I just used pop dots to give dimension.
I also posted a couple of Stampin' Up cards using all SU stamps and paper. I will try to be more diligent in posting my projects. Thanks for looking!

Here are couple of things I created for Pink Cat Studio!! These are both using their adorable

NEW Digi Images. I just love Itty Bitty Betty!

Happy Father's Day

Today is Father's Day! I hope all the Dad's had a wonderful day. My husband woke up this morning to cards and breakfast. We went to church and then when we came home I began preparing dinner. Yummy ribs, corn on the cob, pasta salad, and for dessert banana pudding.
The dinner was great and my husband was very happy. All of the kids gave their Dad gifts of service. So dh was very pleased. Here are the Father's day cards that I created for the Dad's in my family. I created these cards with Cosmo Cricket paper and Stampin' Up cardstock. The stamps are from Verve. I love her stamps they have the coolest fonts.

Thanks for the comments Wendy. I used the Wilton cake decorating tips for decorating the cupcakes. The frosting I used is a buttercream frosting from the Betty Crocker cookbook. It is a pretty easy frosting too.

Here are some of our goodies my daughter and I made for a Bake Sale!! We baked and packaged for 5 hours. It was a lot of work, but so much fun! My daughter worked and baked just as hard as I did. The top pictures are mini cupcakes packaged in boxes. The bottom picture are little brownie pops. They were yummy. The brownie was dipped in chocolate and then dipped in sprinkles. Mmmmm!
