There's No Other Like My Mother - Mother's Day Challenge

Are you like me screaming thank goodness it's Friday?  This has been quite a week in my neck of the woods and I've been contemplating the need for a mental health day for most of it. 

 

But with today being Friday, it's time for another fun challenge at Cardz TV and just in time to get those creative juices flowing as we all gear up for Mother's Day.  So come on and play along with us.  Let us see what wonderful project, card or layout you create for that special mother in your life.

 

My card was inspired by one I saw on Pintrest and I wish I had pinned it so I could give the inspiration proper credit but I wasn't that smart apparently.  lol  I used Cricut Essentials for my flower cut.  Ran the cut paper and the flower though my cuttlebug with the swiss dots folder to emboss, and then stamped my sentiment on the stamen.  The butterflies were a couple of brads that I found in my stash.  The sentiment is from the Cardz TV stamp set titled Happy Days.

So now that you've seen my card be sure you stop over at Cardz TV to check out the other wonderful designs our team created for you this week.  Then remember to create your own, link up and play along for your chance to win a Cardz TV stamp set. 

 

The challenge starts today and ends in two weeks so get going......

May Good Luck Pursue You....

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to an Anything Goes challege at Pause Dream Enjoy.  That's right, for the next two weeks it's whatever and however you decide.

 

Since yesterday was St. Patrick's Day I just had to play with this adorable cut from the Seasonal Characters digital cartridge.  I also used one of the 'swirl' cutsf from Cricut Essentials to create my rainbow.  Then I cut one of the clouds from the sky paper I used for my background and pop dotted it to add another 'layer' to my card.  Oh, and my little leprachaun was placed on an action wobble to add in even more fun.

 

 

 

And now that you've seen my card for this week's challenge.  Take a look at all of the other wonderful designs our talented ladies created for you this week.  Then after you've been amply inspired, create your own project, link up and play along with us.

 

This week's prize (okay - it's a two week challenge) is a set of Close to my Heart stamps:  Scrapbook Sentiments, Women.  The prize is sponsored by  Lucy of CTMH sorry but you must have a US address to win.

 

 

Christmas Squirrels

Now that the Cricut Craft Room is up and running I wanted to play around with my E2 so I broke it out and made this card using:

Just a Note for the squirrels
Cricut Essentials for the scalloped circle
Paper Dolls Dress Up for the Santa hats

I love these little Cosmo Cricket critters on the Just a Note cartridge but I'm saddened that my choice in papers did not help the card pop as I had envisioned.  Guess I'll just have to try a different set of cuts and colors for the upcoming CCC challenge for this Wednesday.

Stay tuned..........
