We Belong Together 2022

Tonight I am celebrating the new year by performing a wedding for a couple (I'm a wedding officiant - I pronounce them married and fill out the paperwork to make it legal).  These ladies are so excited to get married!!  I will have my special man with me as well.  Just a small gathering for such a very special event!

 I got this fun digital stamp/sentiment set from Stampin' Up! FREE online HERE.    I used the couple and a sentiment from the set.  I used some Stampin' Up! Artistry Blooms Adhesive-Backed Sequins, I cut the word/number edge using my Cricut.

Wishing you and yours a very safe, fun and Happy New Year!!

I Survived The Holidays

 It has been a long time since I've pulled out the Rick St. Dennis Creepy Holiday images.  I decided, since it wasn't strictly a Christmas image, it would be okay to use now.  LOL

Today I received this fun CTMH die in the mail.  So, wanted to play with it.  I also used some blue glitter paper, pearls, ribbon, a button, string and pop dots.

Christmas Wishes

 I started with a totally different idea when I started this card...  Do you do that?  I had a cat tree, but it simply did not fit!  haha  I ended up cutting out the two trees and scraping a white stamp pad over the kraft paper.  I did the same for the two oval cut outs.    I used a green doily, some lace, twine bow, gems, pearls I had to color brown using a Sharpie marker and and a few roses.  I literally burned the edges of the sheet music.

HAPPY MEOW YEAR

 Due to now having a cat, I thought this was super fitting for me!  LOL  Granted, there are 2 cats on this card and I only have the one, but stil...LOL

Can you believe it is just over 20 days until the new year?  Wow this year went fast, and it seems like a lot has happened.  Most of which was good, some, not so much!  New (to me) home, new (to me) car, new (to me) cat...LOL 

I made this to help celebrate The Paper Shelter's birthday!!  They're also doing a blog hop!  The image and DP are both from The Paper Shelter.  I chose not to use the DP that came with this image, I thought for kitties, the circles were fitting.  So, the image is called Happy Meow Year and the paper is from Pop Star.  I cut the Meow and the 2022 using my Cricut.  I added some Julep Glitter Gems from CTMH and used some shimmer pens on the circles and confetti...sadly, the shimmer didn't show up in the picture, and I tried!!

Thanks for looking!  Hope you have a wonderful 2022!!  And, Happy Birthday Paper Shelter!

Vintage Elegant Christmas

 I had an online friend reach out with a request for some Christmas cards like what I'd made a few years ago.  With my recent move this last summer, sadly, I did not have a lot of the things from the original card (the snowflake die and paper), so, I created a snowflake border using my Cricut and found some digi paper I could change the color of to make it the same color scheme (or close to the same).

Here is the original card (from 2017)

Here are the cards I made using this card as the inspiration, trying to keep it as close as possible (I actually made 3 total), these are 5.5" square.

Then I made one slightly smaller, since it wasn't an actual die I could cut the snowflakes to fit, this one is 5" square.  I used smaller lace.

Then I saw this adorable image and had a desire to make something similar with a different color scheme. I went with green and a different tree die (actual, it is a set of 3 dies).  I also used 3 Julep Glitter Gems I got from CTMH.

Pucker Up!

 Here we are, at the second to the last challenge at Incy Wincy Designs Challenges for the year of 2021 - and whoa, what a year it's been for everyone!  The challenge this time around is a color challenge using this picture:

We have two fantastic sponsors for this challenge:  Dr. Digi's House of Stamps and Stampers Delights.

For this card, I used a Dr. Digi image called Pucker Up.  Being single in my 50's I think the only thing left for me to kiss are a bunch of frogs.  haha  I used my Cricut to cut the step card template (that I created in my Cricut App) and to write the sentiment on the bottom of the DP.  The Dream and Belive are both stickers I found in a sticker pack I recently picked up at the Dollar Tree.  I added three sticker flowers that I've had FOREVER (or so it seems).  The doily was cut using my Cricut and the small blue scallop was also cut using the Cricut.  I added three bows and called it good!

Kind of Crazy!

  Here we are, at the second to the last challenge at Incy Wincy Designs Challenges for the year of 2021 - and whoa, what a year it's been for everyone!  The challenge this time around is a color challenge using this picture:

We have two fantastic sponsors for this challenge:  Dr. Digi's House of Stamps and Stampers Delights.

For this card I used an image from Stampers Delights called My Kind Of Crazy.  I aded some fun cats, a tree and a fence all using my Cricut.  I created my own background using my shimmer pends from CTMH.  I print the sentiment and laid it out funky, added some ribbon and gems and called it good...then decided I needed to do something inside the card too.  LOL

Cricut images used:

CAT #M2571BF95

CAT #M2571BF23

BARBWIRE #M35417

TREE #M3329B

CAT SILHOUETTE #M90AD47F

I added another cat and some of the scrap paper left over to inside
