#106 Hip hip hooray card for (Card creations & more by Christina) challenge

There's a new challenge blog out there called Card Creations and More by Christina she wants everyone to participate by making a project with the one and only Create a Critter! I made a bright and bold card for a little boy since I make so many girly cards LOL! The card is 5.5 by 5.5 and the hippo, plant, water, circle and title are all from CAC. I used my Gypsy to delete the flower that is on the hippo's rear, since it's a boy card. When cutting the title I didn't realize that there was a flower on the "hooray" part, oh well hopefully the little boy who gets this won't notice since it's a mostly blue card. All of the paper is from the Summer DCVW stack that I got at Joann's recently. Good luck with your new blog Christina!!

#105 Love you a Latte Card for BBTB2

I really like the challenge for this weeks Bitten By the Bug 2 which was to use the mug from Joys of the Season. I knew right away that I wanted to do something coffee themed, at first I wanted to make a LO that said "Coffee Addict" and put a pic of my mom LOL! (Maybe I will!) but then I don't think I have a pic of her holding one. So I cut the cup is from JOTS and the sentiment from Just Because Cards and I embossed with my green bug (Cuttlebug) and did some inking over the swirls with purple Dew Drop ink. Simple but Pretty!!

#104 Lollipop card for Cricut Cardz

I made this card for the Cricut Cardz challenge which is to make a card with any theme and only using the colors yellow, orange, blue, black and white. At 1st I had no idea what to make then I decided to make orange flavored candy....maybe because I've been eating so much candy and it's not even Halloween yet LOL!  I cut the lollipops from Mini Monsters and the scroll from christmas Cheer, I haven't really used both of those carts yet so it was nice to think outside the box LOL! I chalked the outer edges of the scroll and stamped the perfect sentiment, I had it all planned out! Then I added swirls to the center of the lollipops and stickles to the blue bows and stickles to the "Sweet" part, and tied a ribbon bow and finally I did some faux stitching to the outer parts of the card.

#103 Zoo (Paper Playtime)

This week's challenge is to create anything Zoo themed for Paper Playtime, we were sponsored by the wonderful Digital Delights by Louby Loo; they are so kind to be offering this free digi by clicking here. For the image I colored the yellow and pink parts with marker, and everything else with chalk, I added gold stickles to the lions mane and tail. I cut the party hat from the Pooh and friends cart and tied a little blue bowtie for the lion.  I added blue stickles to the party hat and my Fiskars punch for the red border and also added a small blue strip of ribbon on the top. I stamped the sentiment, then embossed with green metallic powder for a final touch I added a pop dot to the back of the hat.

#102 Back to School Card (My Sheri Crafts)

Since I've already made a card for this week's challenge at Paper Playtime I've decided to make another one for My Sheri Crafts back to school challenge. For this back to school card I cut the scallop square from AE, then stamped the entire alphabet  background, the apple and books are from Hello Kitty Greetings (I didn't know that was on there LOL!), the boy is from ACY and the pencil is from Everyday Paper Dolls. For the pencil I cut it on a light tan paper, then colored the eraser, metal part, pencil and pencil tip with markers. The sentiment is also a stamp, which is a stamp from a Hero Arts set that I got at JoAnn's for .98!! Gotta love them deals!

#101 School Days Challenge (Paper Playtime)

For this week's theme it is "School Days" at Paper Playtime , we were sponsered by The stamping Boutique. I made this adorable card for my friends adorable son who just started Kindergarten this week, my husband thought of the title LOL! The boy is from Everday Paper Dolls, the backpack is from the new seasonal Summer Vacation cart and the font is from Sesame Street Font. I really love this digi of the school it reminds me of the little  school house at Knott's Berry Farm! (That's an amusement park in Orange County So. California) I added 2 pieces of pattererned paper from the new DCWV 180 Autumn stack, added some ribbon and a pop dot to the backpack.

#100 Finally reached 100 Cricut projects! and (BBTB2)

BBTB2 is having a fall contest right now and you have a chane to win prizes from Shelly's Images. I cut the apple tree from SYI and I stamped the entire background with a script stamp on Kraft paper then I embossed it with gold embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment and put gold stickles on some of the letters and flourishes, for a final touch I did some faux stiching.  BBTB2
