Life's a beach...Make A Splash

Two different cards...two different sentiments. I created spinner cards using Doodle Pantry's pre-colored Scuba Sheep and Ant, Little Octopus and crab from the Silly Critters sets.  I also used one piece of seaweed from a Lawn Fawn set.

Still time for the Ants in the Pantry Challenge #5....."anything goes".  Come along and join the fun.  Also, what a great opportunity for a chance to win a GC to the Doodle Pantry Store.

Couch Yoga

Yes, I've tried yoga, but I stay to busy thinking about all the things I could be doing or need to be doing during my yoga time.  I'm too ADHD, but I'll be the first to admit it...haha

I used two sets from Doodle Pantry....Ageless Antiques 2 (couch and lamp) and Happy Sheep. I made the throw rug in Silhouette Studio.  I used A Birdie Told Me stamp and die set from Lawn Fawn and a Create with TLC sentiment freebie.

Join the fun Ants in the Pantry #4 Challenge at Doodle Pantry.  What a great way to have a chance to win a gift certificate to the store.

Make A Joyful Noise

I want the "Flip-It Thinlit dies"(like the swing cards), but they cost over $30 not including tax and shipping.....sooooo....I spent the better part of the morning figuring out the measurements watching You Tube to come up with my own version.  I put so many extra layers that I had to hold the card to take the pic.

I used "Caroling Friends" by Doodle Pantry along with a sentiment that is also included in the set. Such a sweet image!

Join our December Challenge #41 for a chance to win a gift certificate to the store and receive "Goose Me" set just for following the guidelines.  Don't forget the 50% sale going on thru today - Dec 3.

Counting my Blessings.....

....along with my sheep! 

Some nights are harder to get to sleep than others.  As I begin to count the sheep I also start thinking of my blessings.  It makes me a little more humble at the times I'm having a "pity party"...haha

I have bought several wonderful sets from Designs on Cloud 9 for the future grandbaby scrapbook .. a work in progress!  This set is called "Counting Sheep".  I've enjoyed Evelyn's talents at CUT IT UP .  Her blog is having a challenge requiring a lamb or lion cut file.  This is good practice for one of my future layouts.  I also used a flower punch and a IO flower stem die.

An-udder birthday

Cheryl, at Cafexpressions, became a cyber friend when we were both collaborating on SVGCUTS.com forum over 4 years ago. Little did we know, her living in Michigan and me living in South Carolina that our paths would personally cross. She and her family moved to West Virginia...ok...a little closer.  We continued our shared interest with svgs, cutting machines and digi images. Heading to the beach with another friend, I called and asked her to join us...see did.  We all had a grand time coloring and making cards. She fell in love with the SC beaches and our weather.  1 1/2 years later, due to her husband's business, the family moved to Greenville....what were the odds. What's a little ironic, is that we still spend more time conversing on the internet or phone than actually visiting each other's house...haha  We manage to take some trips to the local craft stores together. If I ever run out of glue, at least I know more glue is just 6 houses away...lol

This is her birthday card.  I was instantly attracted to it when Doodle Pantry posted it this morning as one of their new releases....and there still a sale going on at the store.  Moo Sheep comes in black/white and pre-colored, along with fun sentiments and matching paper which I also used. I TOTALLY CASE'd Jennie Whittaker's fun card.

Ewe warm my heart

or....
ewe are such a good friend
ewe have such a big heart

Yup, I used my window and wavy crimper again.   I'm going out on a limb and saying this was a free svg from Treasure Box Designs from about a year ago.  There was no watermark on it. It was quick and easy to cut. The grass, ivy and windows were leftovers from other projects...I love it when I can grab a "leftover" and use.

Valentine Card

OK....second card using the Doodle Pantry "Heart Sheep".  Yup, I'm still using that "window B" die by Cheery Lynn.  A great investment.  I found the best prices and ALWAYS "free shipping" on dies (no minimum purchase) at Chic and Savvy and throught Dec.25, free shipping on EVERYTHING!

I made the heart trellis cut file using the Silhouette studio.  If you have any type of Silhouette cutting machine, I'll be happy to send to you.  However, email me, don't leave a comment asking for it since it will not give me your email address.
