Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge & Pre-Hop Week

Good Afternoon Friends!! I hope that everyone is having an absolutely wonderful weekend!! I think it always goes by WAY TOO FAST!!! Can't we just have Monday be a part of the weekend too! LOL! For this week's Getting Cricky Simply Sunday Challenge we had to create a project to celebrate an Engagement, Wedding, or Anniversary. I think that these are all very special occasions and with Valentine's Day literally around the corner, I'm sure there will be lots of engagements. So that was what I chose to focus on for my project to share with you. Not only is today our Simply Sunday Challenge but it is the start of our Pre-Hop Week. This week many of my DT Sisters will be sharing projects that highlight 1 Cricut cartridge or SVG set and K.Andrew Design Stamps. We truly want to show you how verstaile and wonderful these stamps are. Here is my project for today: The base of my card is cut from the cartridge that I will be featuring all week: Smiley Cards. I think that this cartridge is a lot of fun and I can't wait to show you how fun they are when you add some K. Andrew Design stamps to them!!! The center piece for the front of the card was created from heart punchouts that I adhered together to create this flower. I inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink and then bent the edges of the white petals to add some dimension. The "Will" sentiment was created by masking off and combining two sentiments in the Coffee & Tea for You & Me set and the "you" is from the Winged Things set. Now for the inside of the card which holds the element of surprise! LOL The box with the ring was cut from the Sweethearts cartridge. The "Be Mine" sentiment is from the new I Heart You! set. The "?" is from the Coffee & Tea for You & Me set. This was a fun card to put together! I hope you've enjoyed it! These are the stamp sets that I have featured today Be sure to go HERE to grab your very own sets!!! You will be SO happy that you did!!! Before I go, I just want to invite/remind you to join us on Friday for the monthly Getting Cricky Blog Hop!!

With this ring...

Good morning my crafty friends!!

A good friend of mine, whom I have known since middle school, just got married this past weekend! She was absolutely stunning and I was so honored to be able to celebrate her special day with her. We threw her a bridal shower at work and this is the card that I made for her. I just LOVE how it turned out! :)

All that bling was too much for the camera to handle! LOL

Here is a better view. I love the rose paper that I used for this card. Rings were cut from the Sweethearts Cartridge. Simply elegant!

Sentiment is from My Pink Stamper

The inside sentiment is also from My Pink Stamper

One of Emma's bonus stamps! I just love it! :)

As always, thanks so much for taking a moment out of your day to stop by. I value and appreciate the friendshsips that I have made with each and EVERY one of you!

I'm headed off to finish de-cluttering my office so I can get some crafting done!

Until next time...

Birthdays and Anniversaries

Hello Again My Amazingly Crafty Friends!!!

I was finally able to have the opportunity to create something and let me just say it was time well deserved and spent! :)

Yesterday marked 6 years since my mister and I started dating and it was also one of my best friends 25th birthday, so I definitely had a reason to make a card or 2!!!

This first card was my creation for my mister! I really loved this rose paper that I had left over from a K & Company stack that I bought around Valentine's Day. I think it added the perfect love touch to the card.

I think that this turned out simply PERFECT!

This was stamped with a stamp that I picked up from Michaels

This was one of Emma's bonus stamps that were sent out with her latest release

This next card was created especially for my best friend! As always I was very happy with how it turned out.

Isn't this cupcake just sooo cute!!! I finally had the chance to use my new PKS Happy Lashes set and Straight from the Nest cartridge for the cupcake

This is one of Robyn's latest stamps

This was the outside of her envelope

Another one of Emma's bonus stamps

Well that is all I have for today. I have 2 more cards that I will be making tomorrow night and then hopefully I will be able to start working on a special gift for my nephew who will be joining us in the world very soon!

Oh before I forget, I have surpassed the 100 followers mark so I will be having a giveaway in the coming days. Stay tuned to see what I may be giving away!

Have a wonderful week!

** Hugs**
