May RAKs and Winner of the Mother's Day hop!

Whew!  This past week was not only busy, busy, busy, but I also caught a cold.  Yikes!  I still managed to make it to work this week, but ended up trying to sleep off my ickiness the rest of the time.  Can you believe I didn't make anything crafty in about a week and a half?! My fingers are getting itchy!

Anywho, here are some RAKs I received this month. :) I got a lot of happy mail for my blogaversary!  Love these ladies!

This one is from Shar from My Time to Create.  She used her new Cameo!

She made this cute envelope too... and it had HELLO KITTY STAMPS IN IT!!!  wheee! Thanks girl!

This one is from Diana of DL.Art.  Love the shabby chic colors and that yummy twine. 

This one is from Shirl of Creations by Shirl.   Always love getting her cards in the mail.  This chickadee is too cute!

This one is from Susan of Cricut and Grasshopper.  Love the fold of this card! Plus she sent me a bunch of yummies from Minnesota.  I ate them all so no pictures of them.  LOL. 

Lori from Reflections from Granny made this cutie card. It had so much dimension!

And this was in her package too!!!  How insanely cute is this?! :) I didn't even realize my name was in the middle! It's now up in my craft room. :) Thanks girlie!

And last, but not least, is this calendar made by Cyndi of Strawberries n' Cream. Love my starlet self! :) She even sent me a few mini calendars for me to play with. :D

I'm so blessed to call these ladies friends.  They are so generous and SO talented.  Thank you again for being a part of my blogaversary. :)

And without further ado, the winner from last weekend's Mother's Day blog hop:

#14 FAITH, HOPE, AND CHERRY TEA!!! 

Congratulations! I've sent you a message!

Scribbles by Sandy Lolla Palooza Blogaversary!

Here's my first project using Sandy's digi called Shredder:

I thought he was sooo cool!  Inked him up with Copics.  Cut him out with my SU framelits dies.  All the card stock and ribbon was loose scraps.  I used SU punches for the leaves and the sentiment.  I just hand-wrote "Hoppy Blogaversary!"

I tried to get a close up of the texture I tried putting on him.  I used the blender pen to make him look bumpy.  There's a lot of dimension and texture on this card!  The frog, the dot embossing, the textured card stock, and the grosgrain ribbon.  

Entering this card into the following challenges:

Kaboodle Doodles - Dimension

Craft Your Passion - Lots of texture

Crafty Cardmakers - For the boys

My Mum's Craft Shop - Emboss

Cute Card Thursday - For the boys

My 1st Blogaversary Hop!

Can you believe it?  My blog turned ONE! :)

I remember when I first started this blog... my husband pushed me to do it so I had a creative outlet.  I could share ideas and I could get ideas for anything and everything creative.  I met a lot of people a long the way.  Many supporters of what I (we!) do.  I cannot thank you enough for supporting and being so encouraging.  The blog world is a very interesting community, and I think I speak for everyone when I say that we are all a great group of people who look out for each other.


I asked a few of my gal pals (who have inspired me along the way!), old and new friends, to be apart of this.  I hope that when you hop through today that they will inspire you as well!

The theme of this hop is PINK!!!  Here's my project:

A berry sweet 3x3 card!  Cardstocks, paper, ribbon, and ink are all SU.  The stamp set is by Fiskars.

An army of 3x3's.  

How about some BLOG CANDY?

A pack of pink designer paper (same ones I used on the 3x3 cards), pink card stock (hopefully I can find a box/bag big enough to hold the paper/cardstock... if not, then I'm going to have to cut it up), a pack of Simply Sent cards with pink ribbon rosettes (makes 8 cards), Up In The Air stamp set, Stampin Up dimensionals (of course I HAD to include my favorite thing in the whole world!), and a baggie of pink dew drops from The Robin's Nest.  

How to win:

-Be or become a follower of my blog (I want to thank my supporters!)

-Be or become a follower of all the blogs that are in the hop (show them some love too!)

-Leave a comment on this post saying that you've done so

-Leave a way for me to contact you (very important if you do not own a blog!)

Hope you enjoyed my project!  Thank you so much for celebrating with me!
