Sweet Dipped Birthday!

Happy Sunday All!!! It has been a great week here! I got to harvest my first batch of Green Beans from my garden and yesterday one of my chickens laid her first egg! So I rewarded them today with a bunch of fresh fruit since its muggy outside and it will help keep them hydrated :) !! Hope Everyone has had a great week also!!

So the other day I was in a crafty mood and wanted to make a few cute shaped birthday cards.. So I made 2 almost exactly alike but The first one turned out so nice I couldnt help but do a second one :)

I am entering these cards in the following challenges:
Little Scrap Pieces : Fun Friday Challenge Anything Goes
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog: Challenge Me Monday #119 -Yummy Yummy!
Celebrate The Occasion: Challenge #70 : Happy Birthday
Cooking with Cricut : #94 I Feel The Love Challenge

The Cricut Chirp Challenge - 2 - Too Sweet To Eat

3 Girl Jam: Bow Link Up Party

So these were so simple but I just LOVE how they turned out!!
So I started out with the Sweet Shop Cartridge on my Gypsy and welded 2 of the strawberries together , I cut that piece out on white cardstock so that the inside would be white. Then I cut another Strawberry in Red textured paper and then the leaves in a very light green textured paper. For the dip I used a light tan piece of cardstock and used Tim Holtz Ink Vintage Photo around the edges to give it a little depth.
I also embossed the strawberry with the cuttlebug dots folder and ran some black ink over it to make it look like the little black spots on a real strawberry :)
The bows are made with Crinkle Ribbon from 3 Girl Jam
The Sentiments are from K Andrew Designs


<3 Until Next time!!!

Popcicles Yummmm...

Happy Tuesday All!!! Well the heat wave has semi broken and its not to horribly bad outside now YAY! So I spent a lot of time out in the pool this weekend! Until my eyelids got burnt LOL ... Sunburn = bad  :)
But since I have been trying to stay out of the sun for now I have been trying to craft little by little... I better get it done while I can because I'll be going back to school in September to get my CNA license... New step in a new direction and Maybe with that I will have another crafting outlet because I will make cards for the people I help take care of :)

Anyways for todays project I was in the summery mood to "Cool" off :)

I will be entering this project in the following challenges:

I cut the popcicle from the Sweet Shop cartridge at 2.25
I used Pebbles Cream Chalks Metallic Shades to give the popcicle a little dimension.
The faces on the popcicle are from Peachy Keen Every Day Faces set
I used Doodle Twine on the sticks
And the sentiments came from K Andrew Designs "Even More Food For Thought"

Hello All!!!

Hello All! I'm back from my "mini vacation" actually I went away to visit my cousin and to babysit her two boys while she worked third shift so she could get a little sleep. I was EXHAUSTED by the end of it though but had a blast with them... :) We took them to the Farmers Market, The park, the petting zoo (i was extremely disgusted by this part) , then for ice cream and shopping so all in all it was a blast... But as far as the petting zoo.. This one made me so sad that I could barely walk through it without wanting to bust them all out of their cages. It breaks my heart to see animals in such horrible conditions.. Animals that should be living their lives grazing and having a great time... were living on pavement and had very little shade... No worries though my friends... I have written a letter to the Humane Society about this place and I am hoping that there is a light at the end of the tunnel for these beautiful animals <3

Ok sorry to ramble on but I do have a project for you today :)

Over at Die Cuttin Divas there is a sketch challenge and I decided to take that and run with it :)

My recipe for this card: 

The card base is from : Recollections Spring Collection 

The flowers are Recollections flowers the ones that come in those adorable bottles (on clearance at M's for 2.00!!! WOOHOOO!!!!)

The Lollipop paper is from: DCWV The Carnival Stack

The lollipop is cut from Doodle charms @ 4.5 with a cute little Peachy Keen Face using PK-490

The sentiment is from K Andrew Designs new set "Southern Sayings" 

I also added a little twine from Doodle twine  in purple around the lollipop stem :) 

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
