Lifes 3 Ring Circus!

This past week has been all sorts of crazy,

and not just my life but every one's around me.

With that being said I was inspired to make this cute little card

 using my Momenta goodies.

This card is 99.0% Momenta 1% Twinery!

I used paper from my "Family Outings" Stack.

So super fun and great for so many things!!

I made this card for a friend who is going through a tough time

so I just wanted it to be fun and colorful.

I used my old school Creative Memories circle cutters to make my circles. 

Ya know if you don't have those you should REALLY check them out.

I have had them since the dawn of time (1999 for me)

and I love love love them!

I have a great CM consultant. Check her out if you are interested.

I  also used a lot of pop up dots on this card.

It needed a lot of pop.

It is a really simple card but I love it!!

Thanks Momenta for making such cute paper!!

Today spring has sprung but in the pacific northwest 

winter is trying take over and it is winning!

For this hop I did not make my card because winter took me out!

Crash, bang, BOOM! Slipped on some ice, 

hit my head, hurt my hip and messed my knee.

No good!!

So I went through my archives and found a card that my awesome friend Alisha made me that was perfect this hop. Plus It's nice to showcase a someones besides my own. So here is Alisha's fabulous card!

Alisha is a CTMH consultant and this was part of monthly card club.

I love this card, it is super cute!

Thanks Alisha!!

Did that intro look a lot like yesterdays? If so then you are correct! LOL!!

I didn't want to rewrite it!!

So if you are still with us on this fine Sunday morning

 I am gonna assume the dark beer and "Irish car bombs" did not get the best of you! 

Now on with the show!

This is my first and last attempt at making a corset card.

This is supposed to be the back view, hence the tattoo. (That part I actually)

The sentiment on the inside of the card is super cute. 

I am just to so sure about the rest. 

It was a learning process and I do have a friend that will love it.

If you have any tips on how I could maybe improve the bodice please, suggestions are welcome!

"Time to taste the rainbow"

 I went to my local scrapbook store (Stampadoodle) and used their die cut machine

to make this fabulous little box. 

I took the scrap paper I had left over, matched up clovers on the front of the box,

stickled and popped them up for a little depth.

Used my Scrap Happy glue and my Bakers Twine to make the handles into a rainbow 

and attached a little shamrock off the side. 

Then I of course added the Skittles so that I could

"Taste the rainbow"

That is all for today! 

Make sure you join me tomorrow for some more Irish fun!

Now hop over to Michelle's blog for more good times!

A Nontraditional St Patrick's Day Post!

I have finally rejoined my friends on the JME Creations DT!

I am so happy to be back! I have missed a few posts this year 

but Jamie and the girls have been very forgiving;) 

This weeks task was St Patrick's Day,

what I loved is that Jamie mentioned using colors like red, pink 

or whatever inspires you. 

 I feel like I have done a lot of St Patty's day projects 

(they just all haven't been posted yet)

 so I was so excited to do something different

I made this using Cosmo Cricket paper that I bought from a super awesome website

My Scraps And More.

Check it out! Great prices, fast shipping, you'll love it!!

I used my Bakers Twine, cute little clothes pin and cut some shamrocks. 

I love the pinks and yellows! I did add some green skittles for good measure,

after all, what would St Patrick's day be without a little green?

Guest Designer At Creative Crafting!!

Thanks Angela for this awesome opportunity.

They are cute, quick, easy and mostly made from the dollar bins at Michael's and Joann's.

For these two cards I used my new AWESOME tool! I bought the Imaginisce ribbon cutter and tried it out for the first time today. OMG, best tool ever! This is gonna be one of my new faves for sure!! I highly recommend you check it out!!

I hope you enjoyed my cards today.

Our Favorite Things Blog Candy Extravaganza!

Welcome to the Our Favorite Things Blog Candy Extravaganza!  

You should have just come from Ellen's blog.

If you are just joining the hop and want to start from the beginning, please start at Dena's blog.  

This is going to be an amazing event!  

Many of you are familiar with Oprah Winfrey's famous "Favorite Things" show where audience members walk away with an array of fabulous gifts.  It was always so fun to see how excited the audience members got with each giveaway.  Well, if you've always wished you could sit in the audience of one of those show tapings, we have the next best thing for you!

Each participant in this hop is going to share a favorite of hers.  It could be a craft-related item or a non-craft related item.  In addition to that, each blogger is giving away blog candy!  This means you have a chance to win at every stop!

Each blogger has her own rules for winning her blog candy, so please be sure to read the rules on each blog for a chance to win.

Without further ado, here is the project I created for this hop:

I created a two page layout of my top ten favorite things!

I used my favorite paper in the world, Echo Park from my favorite line "For the Record"

The first page is my top 5

#1-My Husband Wyatt

#2 My Babies- Dylan (the kitty) Dylan (my niece) Elle (the dog)

#3- Friends (My best bud Mandie and I at a Sounders game)

#4- Scraping (Mandie and I at a weekend scraping retreat)

#5-True Blood (Eric Northman, hottest vampire ever!)

Page 2

#6 Reading (My Kindle Fire and a list of some of my favorite books)

#7 The color GREEN (My green laptop, purse, wallet, football team)

#8 Music (Glen Phillips the lead singer of Toad the Wet Sprocket one of my all time faves!)

#9 Cheese (every kind of cheese we had in the fridge that day)

#10 The Paranormal (Ryan Buell from the TV show Paranormal State and I)

So there you have it! A small glimpse into my life and the things I love! 

Now for some candy! Here are some of my favorite things that I would love to share with you!

As I mentioned before I love Echo Park.  Here is another line that I love with some brads that closely match.

A Cuttlebug embossing folder that I love so much I bought it twice!

I mini dust pan and broom which I use ALL the time for my small table scraps. 

And since fall is my favorite season and Halloween is all up in the mix I thought what the heck!

In order to win to my candy all I ask is that you show my post some love, that you are a  follower of my blog, and that you live in the continental US. Super easy!!

The lucky winner will be chosen by random.org and announced  on Tuesday the 6th!
