Father's Day card
I made this card for my husband for Father's Day. I will probably let my daughter make him one too! If you can't tell, the doctor is holding a beer bottle in his hand ;) I am submitting this for My Pink Stamper's challenge this weekend.
I can't wait for my Peachy Keen face stamps to arrive in the mail! I ordered them last night. They are running a memorial day special. If you spend $25, you get 10% off and if you spend $20, you can get $.99 shipping. PLUS they have a really cute firecracker stamp for $.99 this weekend only! Check it out here.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone, and remember the reason you have Monday off and thank a veteran for their service to our country!
Recipe:
8.5 x 11 neutral colored cardstock, folded in half
My Mind's Eye patterned glitter paper
Doctor doll cut at 4 inches
My Hero cut at 2 inches
brown ink around edges
beer brad

Cause for Celebration
I got a Gypsy! I got a Gypsy!!!! I am soooooo excited! The prices dropped around the online stores, and I'm not exactly sure why (watch they will come out with some new cool one), but I snagged one up on ebay! I'm so excited to get it. I think it will allow me much more time to create on the go! Hopefully in a matter of days, I will be loading up all my cartridges on it so I can play play play!

Grandpa card
Venturing over to the masculine side is always a challenge for me. I like sparkle, pink, bows and girly. When I have to create something for a guy, I sit at my table with this blank stare on my face and my eyes glaze over all my girly Cricut cartridges. Everyone has their faults, I suppose. I know these things: men like simple, men like dirt and men like golf. So voila! This is a Father's Day card for my father-in-law. He loves to golf and he loves being a grandpa :)
Recipe:
Stampin Up green cardstock
DCWV Metallics for bronze paper
Cuttlebug with Argyle embossing folder
Grandpa sticker from Michael's (My Big Ideas sticker pack)
Golf cart from Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge, stamped around edges with brown ink

Doggie vacay
My sister and her husband went to Vegas last week. We kept their doggie while they were gone. She is a sweet little girl who loves playing with my dogs. She loves to chew up balls, however. haha. I made this picture frame and card for them as a thank you for staying with us gift. Kind of similar to those free hotel soaps you get to take home from hotels ;)
My girl layout
Got quite a bit of scrapbooking done this weekend! I went out and bought page protectors yesterday and filled all my daughter's pages. Small problem - now all the pages don't fit in the book! Anyone have any extender recommendations? I'm thinking of trying out the Snapload Kit, anyone have any luck with those?

Cherish These Days Wedding Card
I had a lot of fun making this card last night. I don't make a lot of "elegant" looking pieces so I really enjoyed branching out. I think I'll do more! I got this ribbon at Hobby Lobby and I LOVE the colors. Hobby Lobby has 50% off ribbon this week!
Stamps Winner....

I need to find more time to get into my craft room though! I haven't been in since the weekend and it's starting to really annoy me. It's been a busy week. We are getting a new roof today! It is supposed to rain here all weekend, so I'm looking forward to finding the time this weekend.

My Pink Stamper Challenge #12: THE END!

Use an animal! This card says "after a while crocodile!" Just easy and simple and what's even more exciting is.... I DID IT! 12 challenges for My Pink Stamper in honor of National Scrapbook Day! WOOT! This was an appropriate project for the last one. So....after a while, crocodiles!!!

My Hubby Rocks (Mother's Day Surprise)
Pop Quiz Time!
Who made this card?A. My 2.5 year old daughter
B. An alien
C. My dog
D. My husband
For those that answered D, you are CORRECT! Tee hee. I couldn't make a blog post about my hubby without joking with him. In actuality, his first time Cricut skillz are pretty good. I think my first cut was way worse. So good job babe! More importantly, the card was attached to this amazing organization set up:
