Have a wonderful afternoon!

Happy Saturday!

Hi everyone!  I'm so glad it's Saturday :)  I don't have a project right now for you, but hope to have something for you on Sunday.  I'm hoping to do a lot of creating today and squeeze in a movie with the family!

Just wanted to let you know about some fun things coming up on my blog.

This Friday, April 8th is the My Pink Stamper Pinka-licous blog hop.  I will have a giveaway for that that one, plus you'll get to see some awesome projects :)

On Monday, April 11th we have the Fantabulous Cricut Spring Fling Crawl.  There will be prizes along the way and you'll be able to participate to win too!

The week of April 25 is going to be fun!  I don't know if I can mention it, but I got a fun email yesterday and will have something new this week -- make sure to tune in :)

Have a great day!!

Hello!

Hi everyone! I've had a little break from blogging, I guess :)  There was a Cricut Circle Crop here in Atlanta on Friday and I spent all of last week getting my Calling Cards ready.  I think I went more detailed than I planned!
It was a fun time meeting fellow Cricut lovers.  If you get a chance to go to a meet up, you really should.  Teresa Collins came and shared a make and take with us.  You can see hers in the picture.  I haven't finished mine :)  I'm really better at completing projects when I have my pictures ready to go in it.  But the papers are from her new Imagine cartridge.  I'm really going to need an Imagine now I guess.  She is such a sweet person too!  Oh and Shannon from Provo Craft is so much fun!!!

And this was my calling card.  I had to use pink and bling (stickles and IRock).  I used Quarter Note and the Dvine Swirl Cuttlebug folder. 

So I'm needing to work on some DT work and I bought some of the cute new Imaginisce papers and have some ideas to hopefully show you too!  There will be a My Pink Stamper Pinkalicious Blog Hop Friday night so make sure to tune in for that.  I've hit over 700 followers so I'm going to have some blog candy that night :)

See you later!

It's crazy at my house!

Hi everyone!  So sorry I don't have anything to show you today.  We are getting new flooring in our entire downstairs today and had to move EVERYTHING.  So it's been a bit busy/messy here.  I did have a few projects made, but one is for Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday which you will see Monday and the other is for My Pink Stamper's Design Team on Tuesday. 

I hope to be able to get something up Sunday, but I do have to put everything back.  But it will be so worth it when all is finished!!

Have a great day :)

Puppy News, Winners and Questions answered

Hi everyone!  It's been crazy busy here at my house.  We're all off school and work right now so you think things would be quiet.  But, we got a new puppy on Saturday!  She'll be 12 weeks old on Thursday and life is just crazy now!  But she's so adorable :)  She's a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mixed with Bijon Frise.  Here's a picture:

I was going to draw a winner tomorrow from the Cricut Crawl, but decided to do it today!  Plus, I hit over 400 followers--thank you!--and decided to draw a second winner!  I picked up a 12x12 Nana's Kitchen Stack for my second winner.  I'll probably do another giveaway after the 1st of the year--my life is just crazy now to do shopping for a big giveway.

Now--on to the winners!

The winner of the Gingerbread Cartridge is:

Love it! I really like the frosted look on the glass block. It set the tone for your whole project. TFS!
Christel

I'll try to contact you both, but try to email me at the contact on the right.

I did have a few questions about the blocks.  Someone asked how the lights went in.  Well, I buy the blocks with a hole already in them from Hobby Lobby and it has a cap on one side which I make the bottom.  My husband cuts a slit in so the light cord sticks out o.k.  Here's a picture:

And I was also asked what I used for the cuts.  It's vinyl.  I had purchased this vinyl a few years ago and just now got around to using it.  But Cricut has vinyl and at Hobby Lobby, there was another brand of vinyl near the cricut set up.  There's ton to choose from!

I have a DT post tomorrow and then I probably won't blog the rest of the week.  I'm getting a Cake Mini tomorrow, but then Thursday I'm taking my daughter to a Justin Bieber concert--please pray that I can hear on Friday after being around the screaming girls--LOL!

Have a very Merry Christmas!

Catch up and Blog Award

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Sorry I've been MIA this week.  It has not been the best around here.  My husband got laid off last Saturday.  Then, we had to say goodbye to our 17 year old dog.  We had her before our kids were born and they've grown up always having her around.  It's been tough around here.

I'm trying to get back in the groove of creating and plus, I have not started making Christmas cards yet!

Disney's Tangled Movie

Hi everyone! 


Sorry, I don't have anything crafty to show you today.  Wednesday just seems to be a family night lately, we have dinner and then just hang out together.  And last night, we got to see the Disney movie Tangled advance screening!!  I had won tickets from our local mall on Facebook.

This movie is so much fun!!  It has singing, action, adventure, you name it.  I had 8 tickets so my son brought a friend and my daughter was able to invite her friend with her sister and mom.  So I had two 13 yr old boys, two 11 yr old girls, a 6 yr old and 3 adults.  I was worried that the boys wouldn't care for it but they loved it too.  And there was nothing that scared the 6 yr old--she was dancing at the end.

This movie releases on November 24 and is a must see!

I hope to have something crafty for you tomorrow.  I'm thinking of starting Saturday Smiles and work through the images on the Smiley cartridge :)
