I Love Moo

 I made this card for this month's challenge at Pattie's Creations Design Challenge.  The image is called You Moove Me.  I used my Cricut to cut the bee, the fun background square and the lines on the bottom of my card.  I added some flowers and made a black bow.  I think it might be time to put a new blade into my Cricut.

HUGS w/Double Trouble and Bitten By The Bug 2

I was invited to be a guest designer this month with the Double Trouble Paper Crafting Challenge team!  These challenges are fun because it is like a 3 in one challenge.  This time around the challenge is "Warm & Cozy- Layer Up" which means we need to create at least two layers and Use at least one die punch, and say what you love to cuddle up with.  Due to my horrible insomnia, for me, cuddling up with a nice cozy pillow is my favorite!  So, you will find a cozy pillow on my card!  :)  Here is the write up on the Double Trouble page!

WELCOME to our Special 100th Challenge 

Regular Random Draw Prize and

Special Random Draw Prizes from Things 1, 2 and 3

 and Other Blog Candy in Sneetch's Posts

This Challenge runs from

"Warm & Cozy - Layer Up"  

Thing 1: Trouble Maker

says, "Today we're celebrating two special things - our 100th Challenge and Cuddle-Up Day on January 6th! There's been nothing better than cuddling up with your sweet creations for 100 challenges and we hope that you feel the same way."  

"For Cuddle-Up Day, let's think cozy and warm and   Layer Up!  You MUST use at least one die, punch, or machine cut and include at least two or more layers on your project. Bring on your card layering techniques and Layer Up."      

In Summary:  1.  Create at least two layers. 

                       2.    Use at least one die. 

You can stop here...

Or
You can go on to Twisted Sister's Optional Twist 

Thing 3: Twisted Sister

says, "My favorite thing to cuddle with is a good book. There are lots of other "THINGS" you can cuddle with such as sweaters, mittens, quilts, easy-chairs, books, fur-babies, stuffed animals, firesides, etc. What is your favorite?"  

If you have included the optional twist in your project, you will have earned another chance in our usual random draw.  

Thing 2: Double Dare

says, "Bitten by the Bug 2 is a challenge that usually requires the inclusion of a cut item from a Cricut machine, however, we CUT a Die'al with them. For this challenge only, our partner is accepting the use of cut items from punches, dies, and any cutting machine, but NO fussy-cutting! Enter the Bitten by The Bug 2 Challenge for an extra chance in our usual random draw prize.  

So, here is my creation for the challenge (notice the pillow)!  As you can see I used an image from My Besties/Sherri Baldy, including the heart.  The die cut I used was a fun rectangle die, I cut the image out using it.  I used my Cricut to cut out the hearts and for my sentiment I used HUGS #M95A0F34 from Cricut.  I added a doily, some Julep Glitter Gems from CTMH, some ribbon and some flowers.  I added some Glossy Accents over her eyes.  I also sprayed the entire card with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist.  Here is how the card turned out:

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!
