Stamp, Scrap & Doodle Saturday

Happy Saturday, Time for another challenge at Stamp, Scrap and Doodle. This week our challenge is to make a sympathy or get well card. I needed a sympathy card for a dear blog friend. Many of you may know her. Stef Hughes better known as Glitterbabe. Her husband past away a week ago. Stef is the sweetest lady. She helped me out so much when I was getting started with my blog. I must have asked her a million questions and she always got right back to me and was so sweet. Please keep her and her family in your prayers.
 
Here is the card I sent to her.

Here is the inside.

It is very glitter because I know that is what Stef loves.
I hope you will join us this week at SSDS. Sympathy cards are not the most fun to make but is good to have them on hand because when you need one you don't always feel in a creative mood.

The Sweetest Thing

Hi Everyone, I am still using my Cricut. I made this card for Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 130. I thought it was the purrrfect sketch for this cute little kitty.  His basket is suppose to be a litter box but I took the word off with my Gypsy. The cut is from Car Decals. The paper is all from my scrap box so I can't tell you what it is. The red polka dot is SU ribbon.

Here is a peek at the inside.

I am really having a lot of fun with this cartridge.

LESSology DT Call

Hi Everyone, Last week I told you about a new blog called LESSology. Well this week they are having a DT call. I would love to be on this team because I love to create altered projects and upcycle found treasures. As soon as I saw this call I went to my collection of "to be" upcycled treasures and found this box that I got from St Vinnies. I think I paid $1.00 for it.

I ended up with this.

Here is the video showing what I did.

I am giving this to a friend for her office. I will be adding cards and stamps to the pockets. I hope she likes it and finds it useful.

Wish me luck on the DT call.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Cricut 360

Hi Everyone, I am so excited. I had the lucky number and won last week at Cricut 360.  I just love that challenge because it gets me using my Cricut and all my cartridges. Did I tell you I bought 7 more at Menards? Menards is a home improvement store here in WI. They have this crazy sale this weekend. The cartridges are $24.95 with a $20 rebate. The rule is four per household. So three I will be paying $24.95 but even that is a good price for a full cartridge. I went a little nuts. When I got home I realized the rebate is an in-store credit. I wish I had all that credit two weeks ago when I bought a new washer there. Oh well, I am sure I can make use of it. With the credit it is about $14 a cartridge.
I spent all day Saturday using my Cricut. This is the card I made for this weeks challenge at Cricut 360. It is called Old West.  I have had the Old West cartridge for a long time and I haven't used it much.

 I was so happy to see this challenge. Old West not something I wouldn't normally do but I am really happy with the card.  I thought it turned out kinda fun.
Oh and of course I made another big mistake at Menards. I bought one cartridge I already had. So be watching I may be having a give away. I guess you could say I had Cricut Fever! LOL

Have a wonderful Sunday, and Thanks for stopping,
