It's Tag time again.  For Week #17, Create a tag with a HOUSE image... ANY kind of house: beehive, dog house, tree house, gnome house, fish house, King & Queen house, beach house.... any type of house! 
Then on the back of your tag write out the number of times you've moved in your life.


Awesome.  Here is my little house.

We moved to Mandeville in November 1999.  My oldest daughter had just turned one year old.  So this is the only house she remembers.  So we have been here about 12.5 years and that is actually the longest I have ever lived in one house.  I think I have lived in about 10-11 different houses in my 40+ years.  WOW!

{Pin}spirational Challenge #4

Hoot! Hooot!  I am now part of another design team.  {Pin}spirational Challenges.  Every week we choose a different picture from Pinterest and use that for our inspiration.  I have been having so  much fun with this.

For challenge #4 we were given this picture

Isn't it so cute?  I just love the colors and the owls are adorable.

Ya'll know how much I love my Cricut Imagine...  I used the Nursery tails cartridges and came up with this card.  I didn't put a sentiment bc it could be used for a variety of occasions, so I will wait on that.


So sweet!  Make sure you check out the challenge blog and play along because this week we are being sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs.  They are offering 3 digis from their shop to the winner this week.
*winner will be chosen randomly.

The challenge closes on April 30, midnight MST.  So head over to {Pin}spirational Challenges!!

Getting Cricky Simply Sunday - Favorite Project

One of my favorite lines when I started scrapping was Indie Girl by Sassafras Lass. Go figure, my favorite color is blue! Here is a mother's day card I made using it.



Isnt it purty?! It was probably the first time I used the Cricut cartridge A Child's Year too.

Now go check out the challenge at Getting Cricky.

MPS April Blog Hop

Robyn at My Pink Stamper had her monthly blog hop last week with her design team. The challenge was to create anything for mother's day. Easy peasy - I'll be needing a few soon.

{Pin}spirational Challenge #2

Ooh! I happened upon a new challenge blog, {Pin}spirational Challenges. If you havent heard of Pinterest yet, then you have been living under a rock! So each week, Deanne will post a picture from Pinterest to inspire us. Here is the picture for challenge #2...

Isnt it beautiful?!

I have always loved the cricut cuts with the rainboots, but had never used one. So this was the perfect opportunity. This cut is from Nate's ABC's and the paper is from Bubblegum Strips on the Imagine and Echo Park. I couldnt decide on a sentiment, so I left it blank until I use this card.


Now make sure you go check out the challenge at {Pin}spirational Challenges and enter.

PDE 52 Tags in 2012 - week 14



Whew! Not quite sure where the time has gone, but I just haven't been able to craft much. The weather and allergy season has been rough. I just can't seem to get better.
Anyway, my birthday was last week, and dear hubby let me buy a new toy for my craft room - the new Silhouette Cameo! So I have been fiddling with it and watching videos. I used it to make my daughter's bday card, but that is for another post.

Today it is time for Pause Dream Enjoy 52 Tags in 2012. We are on week #14 - April Showers. We have definitely had some showers the past 2 weeks! Hopefully it will rain the whole month of April and wash all this pollen away! I decided to use the Imagine again (can you tell I really love it!) and I knew the Enjoy the Seasons cartridge would be perfect. I combined a few elements from 2 different cuts.


I hope you will take the time to play along with us this week Pause Dream Enjoy and show us what April Showers me to you.
