SURPRISE Baby Shower !!!


Welcome to the online SURPRISE baby shower for my 
Mr. Cricut Crazy design team sister HEATHER!!!  

Heather is having a baby boy who will be named Graham and he's due on April 4th.  Since we couldn't physically go to her we thought we would take the party to her via our blogs, and do a baby shower blog hop.  

You should have come from Jamie's blog (The Sassy Princess), if you just happened on to my blog today you'll want to start at the beginning which is Tanner - Mr. Cricut Crazy. 

Here is the card I made for Heather and little Graham and her "surprise" gift which is on it's way in the mail ~ 



Congratulations Heather on your new little baby boy, who should be arriving anytime now!

We hope you've enjoyed hopping with us for the baby shower, as much as we all enjoyed doing it for Heather...we love ya girl!

Here is the hop list if you'd like to go back and revisit anyone ~

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #153

Welcome to Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #153

Today is my last day as a Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Guest Designer :( Oh how I would love to be a full time designer for this team ~ they are sooo AWESOME!!!  
Thank you all for allowing me this golden opportunity.  *sigh*

Wipe the tears and let's have some fun ...

Today's inspiration photo is ~
Today's sponsor is Fresh Brewed Designs.  Now I have to 
say this was a digital stamp company I had never heard of 
but when I saw the image I was in LOVE!

Here is what I came up with based on the photo above ~

This sweet little teapot is called Ladybug Teapot and can be purchased 
at Fresh Brewed Designs.  Isn't this just the most adorable teapot!  
I don't drink tea, but if I had a teapot like this I might start .  

 
 I had a lot of fun coloring this teapot because I wanted it to have 
an old porcelain look to it, and surprising enough - it came out 
exactly how I saw it in my head, now how often does that really happen?



You too can play along with the Cupcake Inspirations challenge #153
by using my top image as your inspiration. 


Here are the full set of rules from Cupcake Inspirations ~

Wobble Wednesday Challenge #1

Welcome to the first challenge for Wobble Wednesday!!

Ok, I know I'm late because this was suppose to go up on Wednesday,
but the challenge lasts all week, so you can participate too!! 

You may be asking yourself "What is Wobble Wednesday?"  Wobble Wednesday is a new challenge where you create projects using Action Wobbles.  If you've never heard of Action Wobbles, the simplest way to describe them (and this is only my way) is that they are a sticky spring that you stick one side on your project and the other sticky side on your image or whatever you want to make wiggle...there you have it ~ an Action Wobble!!

Once you see the projects that people complete 
with these you will better understand, they are just so cute and add 
so much dimension to everything.  
As I always say ~ you can't help but giggle when they wiggle!!

Here is my project for the first Wobble Wednesday ~

Looking at your card, everything looks normal.....
Till you put your finger on him and he tilts and rocks!
This is what the Action Wobble looks like when it's in place on your project.


Grab a wobble and head on over to Wobble Wednesday and play with them!!

Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #151

Happy Sunday everyone!! 

 I'm back for another day on the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blog 
as their guest designer.  Working with this team has really been fun 
and getting inspiration from sweet stuff is a dream come true!! 

For today's inspiration we're goin green ~

 

Today's sponsor is Stamp Fairy, and they have the cutest little bear images.  
I know, being a mouse I shouldn't mess with the bears but I
 have to make an exception for Stamp Fairy bears - they are just bearylicious!!

 Here's my project for today using the above inspiration photo ~



Sorry if this next photo makes you a little sea sick,
 close your eyes real quick and scroll down!!


 The reason the last photo looked out of focus was 
because the bear is on an ACTION WOBBLE


If you've never heard of an Action Wobble before, this is what it looks like (please excuse the fingernail).  It's a small sticky spring that goes on your image and your project and makes them wiggle.  I have to say, working with these little things are so much fun and they add so much life to your project - you can't help but giggle when they wiggle!!

You too can play along with the Cupcake Inspirations challenge #151
by using my top image as your inspiration.
