Ferry and Flowers Spring Card

 I made this card using elements from Cricut (leaves, ferry and flowers).  I added some sparkle to the wings and used some sparkly bling.   Over all, this was a very simple card, just looks busy.

Spring Mice

 Isn't this just the sweetest mouse image?  I got this over at the JuliaSpiri Etsy Shop.  This is called  Fantasy Mice Take a Bath in Forest/Mouse Spa.  I used chalks to color the image with some ink to do the smaller areas.  I made the bow using my Bow-it-All V3.0.  

Makes for a great all occasion spring card.

Happy 78th

 Mom's birthday is coming up in April.  I used the Sweet Blossoms Layering Die Set from #Altenew to make this one.  I also used an embossing folder, a sentiment die and had my Cricut cut the numbers.

Easter Bunny Flower Box Card

 This Easter card was made using the new Close To My Heart Honey Bunny Digital Art Collection and some solid cardstock.  This was all cut using my Cricut.  I used the scrapbook page layout for the lacy background and sentiment.  I also used leaves, the butterfly, bunnies and flowers.   I got this fun flower box card funfold idea from Monica Hayward's live video HERE.  It is actually a lot easier than it looks!

Here is my card:

This is the card front

Here it is all opened up

Happy Easter

 I just learned I'm still on the Creatalicious Challenges DT.  Luckily I have a card that fits the new "Easter" challenge that I haven't posted on my blog.  The eggs are from a super old/retired (in 2009 I think) CTMH stamp set, the bunnies are from an old die set that honestly has nothing to do with Easter, but it had a cute bunny.  LOL  I was playing with the double sided (two color) cardstock from CTMH.  I added a bow I made using my Bow-It-All and some pearls.

Hap-bee Birthday

 I haven't played with this fun Spellbinders stamp/die set called Just Bee-Cause.  The bee, honey pot and sentiment are from that set.  The sunflower die is one I've had a long time and do not recall where it came from.  I followed the sketch from Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge by using glitter paper and Washi Tape.  I started my card this morning before work, had to go, so when I got home I was able to finish it up.

With Sympathy

 I learned over the weekend that my friends chocolate lab passed away, and a few hours later I learned that my Aunt's oldest son passed away (I word it that way because I never claimed him as a cousin).  Anyway, I was in need of some sympathy cards.  Here is what I made.

Folio/Junk Journal

 I tossed this one together this morning using the freebie over at Free Printables for your Junk Journaling with TLC.

I used my Cricut for some of this, but not all.  Some was print on cardstock some on regular paper. I played with a doily I found in a drawer, some ribbon, gems, rickrack and flower lace.  Everything else was in the set.  I created a little book for the inside using regular paper and one of the papers in the set.  I sewed the little book in to keep it in place.  I added pockets to the front and back of the inside.

I hope I've inspired you to go grab this March yummy at the TLC Facebook page!  Even if you do not make a folio/junk journal, there are some great things to use on something else!!

A Day for Green

 How about some Irish Blessings on St. Patrick's Day?  These cards were made using images and sentiments from Create With TLC.

This was made using some gold glitter paper, green ribbon and some gold/green gems.

Tacos & Taquilla

 I've been invited to be a guest designer for the current "S is for Snarky" challenge over at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers.

For my "Snarky" creation, I made a Taco & Taquilla truck.  I used the Taco Truck die set from Spellbinders.  I used some Ranger Stickles Glitter Glue "Icicle" as the salt on the rim of the glass.  I added some sequins from the Buttons Galore & more Spring Butterflies Embellishments set.  The embossing folder I used was from Stamp'in Up.  I made a fun little orange bow using my Bow-It-All.  The Taquilla is a print and cut from Cricut.  I cut the words Tacos & Taquilla using my Cricut as well.  The sentiment, I typed and print it (intentional incorrect spelling - I had to make it more like taco!  LOL).
