My Pink Stamper Challenge!

Good Morning Everyone!

I was a little worried that I wouldn't find time to enter this challenge, but I did! Here is my entry for the My Pink Stamper Challenge which you can take a look at HERE.

Now I can't tell you exactly what the challenge was, you'll have to hop on over to Robyn's page and check it out! But in the meantime, here's what you'll need for this one!

• 2.5 inch tree cut from Cricut's April Showers Cartridge.  Feel free to use any colors you'd like, I went with the typical green and brown
• Recollections pre-made card base, measuring 4 x 5.5
• Patterned Paper measuring 4 x 5.5 from the DCWV Citrus Mat Stack
• Yellow patterened paper measuring 1.75 x 4 also from the DCWV Citrus Mat Stack
• Yellow patterened paper measuring 2.75 x 1.75 (just some of the leftover from the last cut!)
• Cloud 9 Stamp set
• Tattered Angles glitter mist in Silver
• Yellow Ribbon
• Adhesive

1. Make the cuts on your cricut of the tree from the April Showers Cartridge
2. I stamped the sentiment on the 1.75 x 4 piece of yellow paper first, as I'm not always so good at it before securing it to the card front so that if I make a mistake I don't have to take my card apart.
3. Secure patterened 4 x 5.5 patterned paper to the front of the pre-made card
4. Secure stamped yellow cardstock wherever you'd like on the card.  I chose the top, but you could always put it on the bottom as well!
5. Use yellow ribbon (or any color of your choice) to finish off the edges of the stamped cardstock.
6. Spritz the green base of the tree with the Tattered Angles and let dry.
7. Glue brown tree trunk to base of tree.
8. Adhere tree to yellow paper measuring 2.75 zx 1.75 ( I then used my corner rounder to give it a more finished look)
9. Adhere the tree to the top or bottom of your card depending on where you placed the sentiment!
10. Finally, send this card to someone who has been there for great memories in your life!

That's it! Simple and quick and bound to make the person you send it to smile!

I'm hoping to get much crafting done as I meet up with Sue-Ann and a few of our very crafty lady friends! I'll be sure to share some of my newest creations! Have a great day!

The Inspiration Station's hourly challenges!

So far this am there have been 2 challenges from the Inspiration Station, so as I'm sure you can guess that Sue-Ann and I have been crafting away this gross icy morning! The first challenge was to create something having to do with spring or flowers, so thinking that I only had until 10am (as this was the 9am challenge) I high tailed it and created this cute little card using the new April Showers Cricut cartridge!

I then learned that there was no time limit ha ha! The 10am challenge was to making something with glitter or glitz! So seeing good ole' dad is a rock star, I decided what better time to start the book I want to make with pictures of his band then now?! The music notes came from the Designer's Calander cricut cartridge using the events key on shift.

The 11am challenge was just posted and now it's on the theme of "Calgone take me away", so a vacation project or page ... I'm thinking my trip to Mexico last year will be perfect! Be back in a bit!
