Basic Grey Challenge 26 - Pearls

So I fell in love with this bicycle stamp.  If anyone wants to know the maker, let me know and I can check.  Kids are upstairs asleep so don't want to disturb.  Two of the cards in the set have pearls on them so they fit the challenge over at Basic Grey Challenges.  I just am so proud of this set.  I think they turned out great.  Thanks for stopping by to take a peak!

Playing catch up

So I've been MIA, for a couple of reasons.  I was taking a couple of classes trying to finish up my elusive degree.  Of course, as seems to be my luck sometimes, the college announced it was closing it's doors.  I have only 1 class left to complete my bachelor's degree.  1 CLASS....  Now I am trying to find a school that will take me as a Senior with 3 hours left to complete my degree.  Area colleges are trying to help students out I'm just waiting to hear back at this point.  This was a little bit of depressing news and I really haven't been in a crafting mood.  This weekend I finally got my mojo back so get prepared to see some of my creations.  A little of this and a little of that.

Diaper Cake

So this is my 2nd attempt at a diaper cake.  I used the same items on the 1st one but it was too small.  I bought some more diapers and am so much happier with the result.  I think these are so cute.  This one is for a baby shower at work.

Awesome mail day

I am so excited for the weekend.  We are actually going to be home all weekend for a change so I can play with my new Cricut carts that came in the mail today.  I bought A Child's Year, Just Because and Robotz.  Linking them all to my Gypsy as I type so I can play on lunch break at work tomorrow.  Yeah!

My Pink Stamper Color Challenge

So I'd really like to win the Create a Critter cart.  I have literally been gone all weekend.  I didn't get into my scrapbook room til nearly 10pm but I really wanted to submit an entry for the challenge.  Silly me I thought I had a piece of pink 12x24 paper.  I got upstairs only to find I did not.  So I had to change my plans slightly.  I love the idea of this design but not sure about the colors.  I wanted to use more lime green/pink/black, instead had to incorporate the kelly green.  It works I guess.  Oh and it really isn't this washed out.  Didn't get a very good picture.  Her dress is 2 shades of pink and the little punched green flowers have a pink stripe and I add little pink prima's and rhinestones to the centers.  Check out My Pink Stamper.  Robyn has an awesome site.

Cricutters Anonymous Easter/Spring Challenge #31

I wasn't sure I had any carts with images appropriate for this challenge.  I love the search feature on my gypsy.  I have only one bunny image.  I used the bunny from Gypsy Wanderings and the card is from Wild Cards.  Happy Easter was (I think) the font on the Wild Card.  It was really late or early depending on your perspective when I finished this one up (2am).  Yellow CS is unknown, remaining papers are Basic Grey, flowers are misc from my stash and I used Grape Ice and Yellow Stickles for the flower centers.

Finally some new posts

I feel terrible for not adding any new posts for 2 weeks.  I only usually have time to post on weekends and one weekend I was sick, the next we were out of town for my son's bowling league.  But last night I had some crafting mojo.  I didn't get started til late but was up til 2 am working on projects.  Normally I can't even keep my eyes open that long.

One of my projects is for CCEE April Fool's Day Challenge.  This is really the only funny/punny stamp set I have.  It's also the 1st time I've used her and liked the outcome.  I pieced her apron and dress.  The rest is colored with copics.  I also added some glitter to the flames with a Gelly Roll glitter pen.  Both stamps are bu Art Impressions.  Love to know what you think.  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look.
