It's Happy Hour Somewhere

Happy New Years!!!.....8 days late..... ;)  Better late than never though huh?!

My New Years Craft-olution is a two parter.  First, I want to ink up and use every single stamp I own this year, at first focusing on those that have never been inked up.  Second, I want to be sure all of my images that have already been stamped AND colored have found their way onto a card.

This card fit my second craft-olution.  I've had the image stamped and inked since last APRIL!  Oh boy.

The stamp is from Paper Smooches.

Have an awesome day!

Would You Ever Guess Wednesday- Art Philosophy

Time for another WYEGW!  I love to do these projects.  It's so fun to see the variety of options available.

This might be the best clean and simple card I have ever made.  And trust me, it was hard not to add more to it but I felt like it needed to be simple.

I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge "card" feature and cut at 6.41 inches.  You will find the particular cut I did on page 37.  I added red cardstock on the inside and tied red twine.

Check out My Cricut Craft Room blog for more projects!

Have an awesome day!

Cupcake blog hop!

It's a cupcake kind of weekend...for many reasons!  Today I am participating in a cupcake blog hop.  You should have arrived from the ever so talented Lisa of Honeybearz Designs.

If you just stumbled across my post and would like to start at the beginning of the hop, head over to Bernice's Sweet Escape!   


In addition to being the cupcake blog hop weekend, this is also my birthday weekend. The card I made for the cupcake hop is a card for my birthday....to me, from me.

I love to bake....cupcakes, cookies, dog treats, brownies, cakes....etc.  I paired my baking girl from the Cricut cartridge Everyday Paper Dolls with some cupcake pattern paper.  It's hard to tell in the photo but I did cut out two of the cupcakes and popped them up with dimensional tape to make them stand out, in addition to the cupcake my paper doll is holding in her hand.  The solid blue cardstock are scraps that I cut with a nestabilities die.  I used twinery twine to wrap around the cardstock.  My paper doll is cut at 3.5 inches, the hair and clothing are all from my scrap stash.  Paper Dolls are a great way to cut down on your scraps hanging about!

Here is a sample of some cupcakes I've baked in the past month!

Don't those just look yummmmmmmmy??!!!


Your next stop along the Cupcake blog hop is Martha from A Scrapping Time.  Enjoy the rest of your hop and everyday is a good day to have a cupcake! =)
