Makes my heart happy

 I am posting this late...  This card was made for this month's Spring/Easter challenge over at Dragonfly Dreams.  The sponsor for this challenge is Sheepski Designs.  The image I chose came from Floral Heart - image no 66.  I just used the lovely butterfly from that image.  The background was cut using my Cricut.  I added a sticker from a sticker pack by CTMH.  The final touches were the pearls, gems, lace and ribbon.

Old Gardeners

 This card was made for this fortnight's "ATG-w/opt. Use Spring Colors" challenge over at Creatalicious Challenges.  This will be given to another of my co-workers.  When asking what she wanted to see on her card this year she said "I usually lean towards earthy tones but have also been liking blues lately.  I would not be offended at all with the “old lady” references (as I am getting up there).  I like flowers, Pepsi, my grand kids (16 now), baseball and gardening."  I decided to go with the Old Lady and the Gardener theme for her.  I used a dragonfly die (it has multiple sizes to it), the garden gate die is from CTMH, The sentiment and bird house were cut with my Cricut.  I added some stick pins that I made adn a bunch of flowers.

PULL APART BIRTHDAY CAKE

 This is my first go at making a pull-apart birthday cake.  What does that mean?  Well, you bake up a bunch of cup cakes put them in a shape and then decorate.  I went through 3 tubs of frosting, so this sucker is going to be a bit too sweet...for those who don't like sweets.  HAHA
Tomorrow is my co-worker's birthday, the one I made the beer/taco/Cowbow Football card for.  She is my kind of girl, she doesn't just celebrate one day, she makes a month out of it!  This weekend is the bar hop party, then the week after is the cookie decorating party - she has an actual baker coming to teach us how to make fancy cookies.  Anyway...  Here is the cake I made.  And...  HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANGELA!

I used my Pampered Chef decorator to do all of the fun circles.  I used some chocolate ice cream topping for the lower half (the cone), the cake itself is fun fetti per her request, as is the white frosting over the top (ice cream).  The cherry itself...  I used white frosting and added some strawberry gelatin mix (the kind you add milk to, not water).  I added black sprinkles on the bottom, the fun fetti confetti on the top and for the stem of the "cherry" I used some pie crust, rolled it into a long strip after adding some cinnamon/sugar in it and baked it til golden brown in my Pampered Chef Air Fryer, then added some chocolate frosting to it.  I used wrapping paper for under the cake and used a very large cookie sheet to put it all onto.  Now to get it to work without destroying it, it is raining outside.  UGH!  LOL

Missile Launch Buttons

 This card was made for this month's Easter and/or Animals challenge over at Incy Wincy Designs Challenge.  We are being sponsored by Mirtillamente.  The image I used is the Almost Cute - Bunny.  Using my Cricut I cut out a two layer button frame in colors matching how I colored the button on the bunny and added ribbon knots to each corner like I did on the button attached to the bunny.  I created my own sentiment.  I guess you could say, this card is a bit on the naughty side.  The layout is relatively CAS.

 Hello!  This card was made for this month's ATG/April Showers themed challenge at 613 Ave Create.  The sponsor for this month is one I'm on the DT for - Mirtillamente.  The image used for this card is from the So'Getta collection, she is called Steampunk.  I added so many elements to this one, it is super heavy.  LOL  I have chain, a buckle, a clock, cogs, a flower and a bow.  The only thing missing is a sentiment, but I sort of felt like her expression says it all!  HAHA

Happy Easter Bunnies

 This card was made for the Creatalicious Challenges blog challenge.  The theme is EASTER!  The frame was cut using my Cricut, the bunnies were fussy cut using my Cricut.  I added gems and a bow.  I kept this very 'simple' since it was so many layers of frame/sentiment.

Thank you for feeding me

 One of my co-workers keeps jumping in and feeding my cat when I am staying out of town for a night.  She did it again last weekend.  I decided to make this card for her as a thank you!  I used my Cricut for all of it except the twine, charm and red sparkle (used the CTMH shimmer pen).

Celebrate You

 This birthday card was made for one of my co-workers.  I asked her what she wanted to see on her card this year.  

This was her reply "Well…I love outdoor photography, mountain biking, hiking with my family, love the sunshine and hate the snow LOL! Funny how I am living in McCall right? I guess anything outdoorsy makes me happy when its warm LOL but I can still handle the snow if its hanging out with my crazy kiddos.  I love the color blue, foxes, peanut butter anything LOL, wildflowers, waterfalls, stargazing."  

I went with the waterfall, blue and wildflowers.I added a butterfly, ribbon and some cheesecloth.
