PPC Challenge #73 & Blog Hop

• Welcome to Paper Playtime's 5th Monday Challenge!
•  

The first Monday of every month is always a Cricut Challenge (or any die cut machine) with various themes.

The third Monday of every month is always a Sentiment Challenge (you can use digital stamps) with various themes.

When there are months with a 5th Monday, we like to do an ANYTHING GOES challenge for 1 week only and a Blog Hop just for fun!

You should have arrived here from Heather (Princess' Paper Projects).
If not, you'll want to start at the beginning which is Paper Playtime.

For Ch#73:  Anything Goes!

Make any type of project (no back links to previously posted projects).

MeeMees Creations is our sponsor this week and she's giving away some beautiful Prima flowers, so be sure to visit us all and leave comments on each hop stop (feel free to follow us too).

Here is my Anything Goes project ~

I'm not really a Disney fan since living in FL all my life, but this image was too cute :)

Image is Princess Ariel from Pixie Dust Studio
Sentiment is from the The Scrapbooking Queen's stamp set The Queen's Birthday.
 

My image is on an action wobble and this is what it looks like underneath.

I LOVE ya Card

Good morning and happy Wednesday.  

I thought I would showcase another card that I found in my scrap room cleaning stash.  This is actually the last card I found and probably my favorite.  It's such a simple card but sooo cute!  I LOVE the colors, I'm definitely a pink and brown person (hhmm I wonder what those colors really say about me).  

Oh well, back to my card ~ The image is from Stamp Fairy  (I just love her bears).

Well, this completes my "cleaning my scrap room" card stash.  I hope you've enjoyed the cards I've put up, and there will be more stuff coming, but I promise to post as soon as I make them.

Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

You Rock Card

Hope everyone is enjoying your "day of rest" Sunday.  It's funny that Sunday is suppose to be a day of rest, it always seems like it's such busy day for me.  Today is no exception, if I'm busy so is my blog..LOL!

Here is another card I found while cleaning my scrap room that I have to send out soon, so I thought I would go ahead and post it for you.  I just LOVE the colors on this card, hope you do too.

The image is from Pixie Dust Studio and is called Best Friends Forever.

Now I'm going to try and rest for the rest of the day.  Have a nice Sunday. 

Happy Mommy's Day Card

Hope you're having a wonderful day, and thanks for visiting my blog. 

Here's another card I found in my "stash" while cleaning up my scrap room.  

Maybe I should do a little segment each month of what I find hidden in my scrap room when I clean.  At least I'm finding good stuff and not yucky stuff...LOL

I just love this little image from Prairie Fairy, and the sentiment goes perfectly!

Image titled Singin in the rain

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Happy Mommy's Day Card

I've been cleaning and reorganizing my scrap room so I can find stuff again.  You know when you get really busy scrapping and everything just kinda gets thrown into a spot whether it belongs there or not just to get it out of your way ... well, that was the way my room has been for the past week and it's been driving me crazy!  

I finally decided that before I could do anything else I needed to reorganize, which was a good thing because I found some projects that I had done and never posted.  So for the next couple of days I'll be posting some little things for you to see. 

Here's the first one ~

This image is from Meljen's Designs called Little Egg Chick

The little chick is sitting on an Action Wobble
If you are not familiar with Action Wobbles, they are a small spring that you can attach to anything to give it that little wobble effect.  


Hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

Crazy Blogger & Fun Stuff!

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a wonderful week.  

As we all know Blogger has been making some changes the past few months and wreaking havoc on some of us.  Today is my turn I guess...The subscribe to my blog function apparently got messed up when they made their last set of changes.  I think I have it fixed now but in doing so I think it emailed all of my subscribers to follow me again.  If it did, I apologize for the email spam.  If it didn't.. YEAAAAA!!!  

You can still subscribe to my blog but you will need to use the first box that says FOLLOW BY EMAIL instead of the subscribe.  I've left the subscribe box on until I can get some kind of confirmation that the FOLLOW BY EMAIL is working right.  

Thank you to everyone who follows me and/or subscribes, 

I appreciate each and every one of you!! 

Also, if you're reading this make sure you come back to my blog later tonight for the start of the Royal Gala at 9:00 PM.  You won't want to miss this!!!!

Mr. Cricut Crazy Wednesday

Welcome to Mr. Cricut Crazy Wednesday.  

If you're new to my site...every other Wednesday I post as a design team member for Mr. Cricut Crazy.  

Today I'm showcasing the NEW stamp set called Mother's Love, which is a GREAT Mother's Day stamp set. 

This set can be purchased in the Mr. Cricut Crazy store for a limited time only.

You'll see from my project this week that it's a very versatile stamp set 

and doesn't have to be used just for Mother's Day.

 This digital image is Paul & Pauline In Love from Stamp Fairy.

 

I used an action wobble on my image (which can be purchased here), 

and this is what it looks like under your image. 

Here are the other designers also posting today, stop by and show em some love ~
