{Pin}spirational Challenge #6

Eek!  I forgot to set my post for the challenge this morning.  The past few weeks have been a little crazy for me.  But I made sure to participate in all the National Scrapbook Day festivities on the web on Saturday.  I even won a prize package on Scrapbook.com!

This cute little poodle was our pinspiration.

I really had to give this one some thought, because my girls are not "pink" girls, and frankly neither am I.  I was going to make a cute little poodle ballerina from the Twinkle Toes cartridge for a friend who has a grand daughter in a recital.  Then I realized I didnt have that cartridge!  So I ended up with this cute poodle.

The paper is from Fancy Pants About a Girl.  I probably should have inked the edges a little to make the poodle stand out from the busy background paper.  next time.

Make sure you head on over to {Pin} spirational Challenges to enter yours.

Cricut Circle Letter Envy


Yikes!  What a horrible picture of such a pretty letter.  This was a timed challenge for the Cricut Circle NSD fun.  Work and life have gotten in the way of all my NSD fun, so I only had 30 minutes from start to finish.  Whew!

{Pin}spirational Challenge #4

Hoot! Hooot!  I am now part of another design team.  {Pin}spirational Challenges.  Every week we choose a different picture from Pinterest and use that for our inspiration.  I have been having so  much fun with this.

For challenge #4 we were given this picture

Isn't it so cute?  I just love the colors and the owls are adorable.

Ya'll know how much I love my Cricut Imagine...  I used the Nursery tails cartridges and came up with this card.  I didn't put a sentiment bc it could be used for a variety of occasions, so I will wait on that.


So sweet!  Make sure you check out the challenge blog and play along because this week we are being sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs.  They are offering 3 digis from their shop to the winner this week.
*winner will be chosen randomly.

The challenge closes on April 30, midnight MST.  So head over to {Pin}spirational Challenges!!

Getting Cricky Simply Sunday - Favorite Project

One of my favorite lines when I started scrapping was Indie Girl by Sassafras Lass. Go figure, my favorite color is blue! Here is a mother's day card I made using it.



Isnt it purty?! It was probably the first time I used the Cricut cartridge A Child's Year too.

Now go check out the challenge at Getting Cricky.
