Justwordz DT Friday!

Hi Crafters,
Before I get into this weeks project I wanted to mention that my card from last week (click here to see it if you missed it) was featured on The Joyful Stamper blog. How cool is that?! Okay now on to this week.....

This week for the Justwordz DT I was asked to make a project about loving my mother. Easy!!! My mother's birthday is coming up and she has already informed me she wanted an easel card lol...so here it is! I actually figured out how to make a 5x5 one without any help! I like how it turned out but for some reason I am not in love with it. I may end up making her another one...who knows. The Cricut cut you see is a doily from Cinday Loo cartridge. There are not super good layers on this cartridge so I had to make my own. This involved cutting the doily out three times in different colours and then cutting away the parts I didn't want. In the end I think I pulled it off okay!

Birthday Sundaes Sping Birthday Callenge

Hello Everyone,
This week on Birthday Sundaes the challenge was to make a 'spring birthday card'. Nothing says spring more then bright colours and butterflies! Below is my inspiration for you! I did a different size then usual this week the actual card measures 5 3/4" x 4 3/4". The lighting in the picture makes it a little hard to see but I folded it so that there was 1" sticking out on the back of the card. Then I used some sheer ribbon that was the perfect size and ruffled it along the back of the front piece. (Does this make sense?) On the back piece I placed dark purple butterflies that I used a mini punch for. In real life you can see the butterflies through the sheer ribbon and it looks really neat! I think the second picture will help this make sense :)
Happy Crafting!
Tara

Made by Momo Guest Designer

Hello Crafters,
I was very kindly asked by Mari to be a guest designer on her blog Made by Momo this week. To say the least I was TRILLED! Her challenge this week was to make something with hearts on it and to use the colours white, black and hot pink. Usually colour challenges scare me but I was on a mission...and I just love how it turned out! Of course I found the white a little boring so I blinged (is that a word?) it up with some glitter glue.
Happy crafting!
Tara

P.S. It looks like a huge storm (or I guess a couple hitting at once) is heading our way starting tonight. They are calling for 25-35 cm of snow by Thursday (we have at least that now), which means tomorrow is looking like a storm day. The bad news is I don't get paid for storm days :( The good news is I will have some great crafting time! I'll be sure to take some storm pictures for you guys and post them! Who doesn't love a good snow storm?! lol
