Fantabulous night on the town......hopefully!!!

Maybe...maybe not....but I know one fantabulous thing is the challenge over 

@ Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #230

Its for shaped cards....any shape but a square or rectangle.

I know I know, mine is almost a rectangle ....but its NOT...its a bucket 'ol paint.

Check out that sparkly paper....woop woop!!!

I got the image from Handy Man cartridge.  Hope you join in the fun!!!

Maybe I'll give this cutesy to my hubs.....she what he thinks....Hmmmmmm!!!

Until later, painters........Gotta paint split.......TFL!!!!

Tag...you're it!!!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog has another challenge and its to 

use a tag on your creation. 

Well, my creation is a card that is shaped like a tag, 

and another tag (velum) on top of that. 

I used Serenade Cricut cartridge for the bird cage lobster trap.  

Bwahahahahahahahaha....yes even a lobster trap can be FANCY, 

well...if I had a lobster trap it would be FANCY!!!!

You can lift up the velum tag and see the other sea life in the vicinity.

This card could be used as a cute dinner invite for a night out of seafood.

Until later,  seafood lovers......Gotta split.....TFL!!!!!!

Hugs....???

        I would hug this cutie....even if it hurt just a wee bit!!!

I created this for a challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge blog.

This week its to use 3 different pattern papers. 

I used the hedgehog from the cartridge..."Four legged Friends"

I think she's adorable.  

Try to find images that you normally wouldn't use and create something FANTABULOUS!!!!

Until later, my two legged friends.......Gotta split........TFL!!!!

New studio.......YAY!!!!

   We moved last September and my studio was in such a disarray it was hard to focus 

and actually get anything done. 

Now I have NO excuses......Bwahahahahahahahahaha!!!

This is facing the front of our house.....so I can see if anyone arrives. 

Check out the scissors holding the fabric. 

I purchased those at Dollar Tree.  They are plastic and purple.  I hot glue the blades in back so they won't move and also a hanger.  Then I spray painted them white. Hung them at the angle I wanted and then just draped the fabric strip in the blades and waa lllaaa I have a window treatment.

 Most of my stamp sets.

 My paints, glues, brushes and individuals stamps.

 Paper, paper and MORE paper!  Ha!!

 Island I created using two short bookcases and a piece of MDF board.

Storage for most of my embellishments.  

There is more storage on the other side. 

Finally, I can now enjoy my somewhat clutter free room and find my schtuff!!!

Until later, my craft friends.......Gotta split.....TFL!!!!!

Easter is coming soon.

I hope this egg hatches in time for the big Easter egg hunt. 

Either way I can still enter it into several challenges.

BBTB2 has an Easter challenge and 

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog has a sketch challenge. 

The egg and the egg holder are from Picturesque Cricut cartridge.

I haven't used nearly enough of the images on any of my carts.  

So, I'm trying to find some new ones that I can use on projects.

Until later, hunny bunnies..........Gotta split......TFL!!!!

                                                       

I love you.....

Anyway you say it....

it still means a lot!!!!

I purchased these pencils from Hobby Lobby last year in the 

Valentine's clearance.

I always peruse the clearance rack to see what I can use.

I have those large plastic tubs for every holiday and just insert the 

items into the tubs until 

the next year and open and see what I can give out to the grands.

OK, back to the project.....

I inserted the pencils into these 2" X 8" cello bags (from Stampin' Up!)

I wanted a tag for the top.

I cut a dark pink base at 3-1/4" X 4-1/4" 

Scored one inch to make the base an even square of 3-1/4"

Cut the hands from My Community Cricut cart

and the hearts are from George and Basic Shapes Cricut cart.

Adhered the heart in the palm and folded the two fingers down to 

create the 

I LOVE YOU sign language symbol.

Then adhered the hands to the base layer.

Adhered them to the cello bags with tiny glue dots. 

Aren't they adorable.....love 'em.

Until later, lovlies.......Gotta split......TFL!!!!

                                                      

Some beach.....

......some where!!!

I had fun creating this card. 

BBTB2's challenge was to make something 'beach' inspired.

I think this one works well!!!!

Card deets:

Basic folded card stock base of a light blue.

Kraft card stock torn to mimic sand.

Used Suburbia cartridge to cut the woman silhouette image; once with black card stock and once with a patterned yellow DSP. 

I cut away most of the image to leave just a swimsuit to layer on top. 

I then cut out the chair and umbrella from Life's a Beach cart. and made them large enough to layer the woman onto them. It was very easy using my Gypsy. 

I had this clear stamp set that is for different types of flower petal, but to me they looked like surfboards.  After stamping them with black staz-on I colored them using my Bic markers.

Then sentiment is from another stamp set. 

Used a few dimensionals for some texture.

All in all....

I think it turned out quite brilliantly!!!!

Love it!!!

Until later, beach dwellers......Gotta split.....TFL!!!!!
