Indie Bird

Another simple card I brought with me on my trip... just in case I need to thank anyone or if I somehow missed a birthday (whoops).

Bird is cut from Indie Art.  I left the red strip blank so I could possibly add a sentiment later.

'Till next time!

Red Cupcake Card

Today is a very ugly, ugly day in Hawaii nei.  Really bad thunderstorm.  My power went out this morning and when I was driving to the office all of the street lights were out.  Thank God people drive with Aloha when that happens!  Last night my toilet went on the fritz as well.  As I was about to fall asleep, my valve just erupted and sprayed water and flooded my entire bathroom.  Thankfully, my husband (being in the Navy) recognized the sound of rushing water and was there in a flash.  Lol, I thought it was the sprinklers going off or something!  So lots of cleaning in the middle of the night... and wet kitty litter sucks to clean...

Anywho,  my guy pal in Washington had a bad day yesterday.  It was his birthday and he was nowhere near friends or family.  He also got a call that his grandfather passed away, so when I contacted him to wish him a Happy Birthday, he was just about to jump on a plane home to Florida.  Poor thing.  On a happier note, I sent him this card which will be waiting for him when he gets back:

The cupcake was cut out with the Smiley Cards cartridge.  The sentiment is to remind him of a very unfortunate incident that scared the living daylights out of him when he ate cupcakes a few months ago at my husband's birthday party.  They looked like this:

Aside from the Sucker Punch picks (made with the Indie Art cartridge), I'm sure you can figure out what happened to him after he had a few of these cupcakes... LOL!

Entering this in Fantabulous Cricut's "Remember a person, time, or Anniversary" challenge!

'Till next time, folks!

MPS National Scrapbook Day challenges # 8 - 12

Finally finished all of the MPS challenges, HOORAY!  My craft corner looks really messy, but that's OK, right!? :)  Here they are:

Challenge 8: Summer theme

This cut is from the Sugar & Spice cartridge and it's supposed to be a bib, but it looks like a jar to me!  Fruit always reminds me of summer.  Paper is from Martha Stewart's school stack.

Challenge 9: Glitz, glam, and glitter

What could be more glammy and glitzy than a huge diamond?  Cut from Indie Art and I glittered the "sparkle."

Challenge 10: Pet

This one was doing double duty and was given for Meowmy's Day to one of my friends who has an orange fur baby named Alley Cat.  Alley is the king of everything, including drawers!  Cut from Meow cartridge and "kitty kitty" chipboard piece is from my stash.

Challenge 11: Pink, green, black

This one is also doing double duty and will be given to my bestie's younger sister for her birthday this month.  She loves Hello Kitty (as do I!)  The cut is from Hello Kitty cartridge and the face is from Peachy Keen's Hello Kitty faces stamp set.  LOVE that I don't have to deal with gluing those little noses!

Challenge 12: Kids

This was my first attempt at a word book.  My God son's birthday is this month so I though I'd create him a word book.  It's supposed to say "Tanner" but now I'm noticing that a word book with more than 4 pages should be created on a 12x24 mat.  His name is just too long for 12 inches!  It was created using my Gypsy and welding the letters to the square shapes.  Here are some pages from the book:

Animal cuts from Create a Critter cartridge and bugs are 3D stickers by K&Co.

More K & Co. 3D stickers and journaling stamps are just some I got from a garage sale.

More Create a Critter and K & Co.

Wow!  Those were a lot of projects!  I did take all weekend to finish them all but I'm glad I did!  I'm caught up on birthdays and projects for the rest of the month!  Lol, but I'm sure more projects will pop up... isn't that how it always works?  Till next time, folks!
