Throwback Thursday Challenge

Ok everyone, if you have never entered one of Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenges, you're missing out! This challenge included a 3-Dimensional project. Of course I had many Mother's Day projects to complete, so the vinyl flower pots I created for my mom, sisters and girlfriends were perfect to enter. I actually used the Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge for the flowers and leaves. I also created some tags with Emma's Mom You Rock Stamp Set. These were so fun to create. I used the Tags, Bags Boxes and More Cartridge, Glimmer Mist, lots of distressed ink, prima flowers, sparkling brads, Nestabilities, you get the idea. I filled the pots with flower seeds, gardening gloves and chocolate!

Wacky Wednesday Challenge #37

Hi all, wow what a scrapbooking, crafting, creating week it has been. I love it!
This week over at Paula's More than Favors we had to create a Mother's Day Project.
My Mother's Day was terrific with 4 out of our 5 children for dinner, my grandson, a couple of nieces, sister in law and significant others:) We missed my son Adam as he is working in Texas for a few months:( He was a sweet son and called to chat. It was a great day with hubby giving me some down time to create (and I did).
This project was for my sister in law who we get to see each weekend at family dinner. I decided that in addition to a few other goodies we gave to her, a decorated bottle of wine would just be perfect! I have to say, this is a great project for any occasion. On Saturday I decorated two other bottles for a bridal shower I attended using the Sweethearts Cart bride and groom atire. For this one I just used some scraps, prima flowers and a sentiment from My Creative Time's Mom You Rock Stamp Set.

Another Mother's Day Card!

I tend to make many many Mother's Day projects and cards. For years I have made sure that family and my girlfriends receive a little something on this day. I always think of the sacrifices moms make on a daily basis, no matter what!
This simple card was made with the Indie Art Cartridge. I cut the butterfly shadow once, and the butterfly twice so there would be extra dimension. (I have to thank Courtney Lane Designs for this idea, I saw it on her blog quite awhile ago). I inked with several distress inks, scallop punch, and used the IRock Tool with some little gems. Emma's Mom You Rock Stamp Set finished it off.

Throwback Thursday Challenge!

This week at My Creative Time with Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge, we are asked to use any Cricut Lite Cartridge and make a 2 page layout.
I used the Carousel Lite Cartridge, the paper is Dots and Stripes from DCWV, stickles, Cuttlebug, twine, buttons and Emma's Mom You Rock Stamp Set. (she's is coming out with some new sets tomorrow, so fun!)
Found these pictures of the boys playing on the train at Fairytale Town in Sacramento, thought the little train image would be fun. I used the font from that Cart as well.

Let's Face it Friday

Yeah, another challenge from Peachy Keen Stamps! These stamps really are amazing, just love the possibilities. This challenge has to include Peachy Keen Stamps with a Mother's Day Theme.
I decided to use my From My Kitchen Cartridge to create something a little retro. Kept the card pretty simple using the images with shadows, a scallop punch, Martha Stewart Border punch, EK Success Label punch, and the sentiment is from Emma's Mom You Rock Stamp Set.

Pause Dream Enjoy Pink Black and White Challenge!

I thought I could get a start on some Mother's Day cards with this Challenge!
I used K & Co paper, some pink and black fibers, Nestabilities, Emma's Mom You Rock Stamp Set, half pearls and a couple of Recollections Flowers.
