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!!

I am giving away 2 $10 gift cards to Joann Fabrics 
1 card each day of the hop. 
I will be using random.org to pick my winners and here is the fun part!

To win you just have to comment on one day or both to better your chances,

Super easy!!

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!

Now on to Michelle's blog! Happy hopping!!

"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
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?
