Happy Valentine's Day!

Hello Friends!! Another post today! It's been a very long time since I posted 2 in the same day! I got a new set of Martha Stewart punches for Valentine's Day and couldn't wait to use it! Once again, the circle encouraged me to "git her done!" And so I did! The Circle Challenge is to create a Valentine's Day Card, and include gems or sequins and ribbon.

This is a flowerpot card! Love them! This is the first I made and will be making it again I'm sure!  Love the look with a butterfly bookmark too! I made the butterfly green on one side and red on the other! I made this for my sister who loves to read! She'll love that!
I used CCR to weld the two flower pot bottoms from April Showers, but it cut anyway. Not having too good a luck in CCR with welding Imagine carts! anyone else? So I just taped them together with my ATG gun. The heart paper is from Imagine Blast Off! That is my go-to cart! It has a bunch of cool papers. I couldn't wait to get Imagine Bubblegum cart but haven't used it near as much as I thought! The butterfly bookmark  and hearts as the base of the "flowers" is also from Sophie! I love that cart too! That is my go-to cart for cards! I cut the MS heart flowers from the Walmart pink glitter paper and white paper. The heart paper on the butterfly and the polka dot paper on the heart flower bases is from Imagine Good Old Days, a pretty new cart! The glitter gem brads on the base of the "spinning flowers" are some I had in my stash. I used clear embossing powder and crystal embossing powder on the butterflies! They are really pretty IRL!! The ribbon is from Walmart! It was only 97 cents!
Thanks for stopping by again! Wish me luck and I wish all my circle friends luck!
Have a great weekend!!

Cricut Circle blog weekly challenge #42: World Card Making Day

Hello friends! I love making Halloween cards for  my grandkids! And especially easel cards! This one is for Faith! She will love it! hope you do too! I made 1 similar to this last year for my DGS and he hung it on his bulletin board and called me and asked several times "how did you do that?!!" He was only 6! He appreciates everything. And he gets so much for Christmas and his birthday and he always remembers who gave him what! even a couple years later, he'll say remember when you gave me this Nana?! don't tell him, but sometimes I don't until he reminds me! So this 1 is for Faith, it was easier because of the Imagine and Enjoy the Seasons, and it doesn't really look as scary to me but Faith will love it anyway!

My recipe:
Imagine Cricut Machine
Expression Cricut Machine
Enjoy the Seasons for the haunted house cut at 4.25" and all the layers as well
Martha Stewart halloween punches, the fence and the corners of the Happy Halloween mat
Jolee's 3 dimensional stickers for the spider and web and headstone behind fence
ImagesbyHeatherm for the trick or treaters SVG (this is one of my favorite SVG's!)
Michaels Recollections metallic paper for the mat and witch
"Raven" glimmer mist on the background paper behind the haunted house. If you click on the pic it should enlarge and then you can see the glimmer mist better. Its really pretty IRL!
Happy Hauntings cart for the phrase and shadow and the witch cut at 1".
 April showers for the cloud cut at 1"
The paper looks 2-toned orange, but its only 1 color, the color is closest to the orange on the left hand side.

Cricut Circle August Monthly Challenge: Create a Scene Submission

Hello my scrappin' friends! Been a little while. I've been on vacation for a few days visiting family in St Louis. And thought about this challenge while high in the sky! I have so much scrapbooking to catch up on it was hard to choose which group to do a "scene challenge" with! But I always love spring and Easter! so...for this challenge I chose a few Easter pics from Spring from a couple of different seasons, thats why some have jackets on and some don't! The Easters in March are sometimes cool here in Texas! Just having to pick out a few pics helped remind me I really need to get all the years scrapped!!
The Cricut Circle challenge is to create a scene with cricut cartridges! of course...preferably, but not required, using the 4th quarter Circle Cartridge: Pop-up Neighborhood. This was my favorite circle cart until we just received "Sophie"!! Love this one most of all the Circle carts! Awesome...Well, you only had to use 2 cuts! I used a whole lot more than that! and I made some I didn't even end up using! The winner is chosen at random (thank goodness! I might have a chance!) and the prize is:

Recipe: (yikes, I hope I remember them all! The gypsy doesn't show you what carts it uses on the Imagine app)
