Hello Everyone! Hope you all are enjoying this Christmas season. This is my post for the <a href="http://www.patchesofpink.com/2011/12/christmas-crafts-design-team-day-and.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PatchesOfPink+%28Patches+of+Pink%29&utm_content=Google+Reader">Patches of Pink</a> December Design Team post. Our theme for December is of course to create a Christmas project. This is probably the easiest scrapbook layout I think I have EVER done. I love the patterned christmas paper so I did not want to add to much to this. It is very simple. I am usually a traditional red, green & silver christmas girl but I love the nontraditional colors in this one. </div>

<div align="center">
There is not much to this layout so I really do not have sizes for anything. The photo mats will fit a 4x6 picture and the Merry Christmas is cut using the Cricut Craft Room & my Cricut Classic Font Cartridge. This is the first time I have used the Cricut Craft Room and I loved it, I was able to weld the letters together instead of cutting individual letters. I LOVE that feature. The patterned paper is by Paper Studio and the plain cardstock is just stuff I had on hand that matched. Its hard to see in the picture but there are also little rhinestones placed in the middle of snowflakes on the page, adds a little bling to the page. <br />

Hello to all my amazing friends out in blog land! Hope you are having an amazing day so far. Things have been a little crazy around my house these past few months so I have not had a lot of crafty time. I have done a few little projects here and there but nothing like I was doing before I found out I was pregnant. I have decided to start something new here on my blog and I hope that you will all enjoy it. Have you checked out <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a>? I have to admit that searching <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> has become somewhat of an obsession. Just what I need!!!!! If you do not know what <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> is you must check it out <a href="http://pinterest.com/about/help/">here</a> and see what all the fuss is about. I have found some really awesome creative inspiration and amazing blogs just by searching. I will warn you that it is addictive, sometimes I just can't stop searching. LOL! The inspiration is endless. You must give it a try. So... I am going to start a weekly post (hopefully weekly) about my favorite pins of the week. It may just be something cute that I have seen or it may be crafty or food related, who knows. I can't wait to share with you all the fun creative stuff I find. Happy Pinning!</div>

Hello Everyone! Here is the October Design Team Post for <a href="http://www.patchesofpink.com/">Patches of Pink</a>. This month we were asked to create a project with a Halloween theme. I have seen so many awesome Halloween projects out there in blogland these past few weeks. I just wish I had the time and money to do more creating. With our baby boy's due date getting closer and the holidays even closer I have not had much time to paper craft or tend to my blog. I have kept this card very simple but I really love how the colors look. Hope you enjoy! </div>

Hello all my crafty friends. Just wanted to share with you another cute fun layout I made last weekend. I had so much fun making this and the fall one I made. If you have not seen that one click <a href="http://bestisyet2be.blogspot.com/2011/09/patches-of-pink-thurday-link-up-fall.html">here</a> to read all about it. I plan to make more in the very near future, especially with a baby on the way I want to get a head start on the scrapbook for my little one. I did this out of pure fun so I do not have sizes of anything but I will tell you that the tree, hearts and phrase all came from the Sweethearts cartridge and the paper is by Echo Park Paper. I really love how simple this turned out. Enjoy!</div>

Well it's time for another <a href="http://www.patchesofpink.com/2011/09/autumn-design-team-day-and-link-up.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+PatchesOfPink+%28Patches+of+Pink%29&utm_content=Google+Reader">Thursday Link-Up</a> over at <a href="http://www.patchesofpink.com/">Patches of Pink</a> featuring projects made by the design team. The weather where I live has <strong>finally</strong> decided to cool down and we are enjoying very fall like temperatures this week. I am so ready for fall, it was a little to warm and humid for me this summer. We could not enjoy doing anything outside so we have been cooped up inside for what seems like months. I am hoping that those awful hot temps are gone because we are enjoying the cool breeze coming in and having the windows open. Well, the project theme for the <a href="http://www.patchesofpink.com/">Patches of Pink</a> DT was to create a project with a fall theme using all those beautiful fall colors. I think that this may be one of my all time favorite projects I have made. I was not sure on what I was going to do at first especially using those fall colors because they are just not colors that I usually use but I had a lot of fun making this layout. Yes, I just said LAYOUT. I do not think that I have featured a layout on my blog in a VERY long time. I LOVE this layout and I can't wait to make more. I have been so into making the cards that I have completely forgotten layouts. You will probably be seeing more layouts from me very soon. </div>

Just thought I would take a few minutes and share a really cute easy baby card I made last weekend for a baby shower. I think that this is my new favorite card size, 4x4. I just love it! Perfect & Simple. This card got lots of comments and the new mom wanted to know where I got a card like that. I love how these colors look together, they came together great. I think I have used this color combo before but I really like it. </div><br />

Did you know that August is Happiness Awareness Month? I had no idea until Jalisa over at <a href="http://www.patchesofpink.com/">Patches of Pink</a> gave us our project theme for the PoP Design Team Post. The theme for this month is to make any project that represents something that makes us HAPPY:) I am so glad that I was able to get out of bed and into my craft room to create this project. I immediately knew what my project would be. As some of you may already know I am pregnant with my first and extremely excited, especially since our road to pregnancy has been long. My pregnancy is something that makes me very Happy! I got this idea from a picture frame I saw in a store about a month ago. I absolutely LOVED the quote that was on the frame and knew I had to use it in a project of my own. The frame at the store had a very similar theme to the project I have created but it was very plain so this is my take on it. Since we do not know the sex of the baby yet I kept this pretty neutral in color but am very HAPPY with how it turned out. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I cannot believe that I have been gone from my blog and crafting for so long. I have been wanting to be in my craft room for months but it has been near impossible for me to do much of anything lately. I have missed reading all your blogs and seeing all your fantastic projects. I promise I will be back really soon. As a few of you may already know...I am Pregnant! These last few months have NOT been great. I have been so exhausted. I am finally starting to get my energy back but I am not completely back to normal yet. I feel like if I am not resting I am thinking about what I am going to eat next. Food is #1 on my brain right now. I have been working long days at my job to all summer so that has not helped my exhaustion. We are very excited about this little one and feel so blessed that god has finally answered our prayers for a baby. <br />
<br />
I hope to be back to posting on my blog very soon so please stay tuned. I have so much crafting I want to do now that I have a little one on the way. There are so many ideas just racing through my head. Happy crafting everyone!<br />
<br />
<br />

Hope your Sunday is starting out great. I had big plans for today that included spending a lot of time outside doing some yard work and planting flowers. Unfortunately the weather here in Illinois is not going to make that at all possible today. Last week we had temps in the high 80's and even a couple days just over 90 and pretty humid, we even had to turn the air on. Well today it is rainy, windy and cold with a HIGH today of 50. Needless to say we now have the heat on in the house. GRRRRRRRRR! So I guess today I get some things done around the house and hopefully some crafting as well. Yesterday I got to spend the whole day with my Mom, Sister & adorable niece celebrating Mother's Day since I could not be with them last weekend. We had a great time as usual and even got to do a little bit of scrapbook shopping as well. I wanted to post a couple cards that I made for them but did not want to post until I was able to give them. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiASZwiR2vgDjgqsXzS4XaB1UJPXDMlnHIVASEjg9BgDzdsynjeJ0VxPYWDVxTEuPJztY0fCtfHetnJaz2t6x9df-bE0j1PnSHAy3Xpa5JjqOlYEZdKAkIPHWyTtZMlxiPesUvfb2NwZaup/s400/SL383182.JPG" width="290" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is an easel card that I made for my Mom. I have been playing around a little bit with my photo editing program in hopes of making my photos look a little better. I also photographed these photos against a white background which I think came out OK. I like how bright and clear I was able to make them, so all the details can be seen. I am not a pro at taking photos by any means and do not have a great camera either but I think I like the way they turned out. I still have a lot to learn. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ZEDkcAqjO6IIytdIFcQys32LK3clkKeNy2VTz_y8l09U6ad5yUuAxZL6ni4_mF_tifMNeW_BzpwCVliMIufqZm1wN-FOLYUNpKS1SpGeDqJwWoCfgTpiS9ISQAyV6Xl7c9CXtQl1Sos9/s1600/SL383176.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9ZEDkcAqjO6IIytdIFcQys32LK3clkKeNy2VTz_y8l09U6ad5yUuAxZL6ni4_mF_tifMNeW_BzpwCVliMIufqZm1wN-FOLYUNpKS1SpGeDqJwWoCfgTpiS9ISQAyV6Xl7c9CXtQl1Sos9/s400/SL383176.JPG" width="390" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you don't know how to make an easel card you really do have to give it a try. It is really easy and I found my dimensions and a great tutorial <a href="http://scrappin5littlecupcakes.blogspot.com/search/label/Easel%20Style%20Card">here </a>at <a href="http://scrappin5littlecupcakes.blogspot.com/search/label/Easel%20Style%20Card">Scrappin 5 Little Cupcakes</a>. She gives all the dimensions and shows how it goes together. There are other easel card dimensions and tutorials out in blog land but this is just the one I picked to use. The sentiment at the bottom is printed using a font available in my Microsoft Word program. The font used was Harrington. The patterned paper is by Paper Studio and the cute snail is cut from the Create-A-Critter cartridge and the Mom letters were cut from Cricut Classic Font Cartridge. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">This is the card that I made for my sister. As I have told you before I am in LOVE with Zebra print and I absolutely LOVE these colors together. It ROCKS! The sentiment for this card is actually printed on using a font from <a href="http://www.kevinandamanda.com/fonts/freescrapbookfonts/house-sitters-club/">Kevin & Amanda</a>.

Hope your Monday is starting out great. I am in LOVE with zebra print right now! It's just sort of the "In" thing I think. <a href="http://www.mypinkstamper.com/2011/05/national-scrapbook-day-challenge-11.html">My Pink Stamper's Challenge #11</a> is to create a project using the colors green, pink, & black. When I thought of those colors I instantly knew that I would be including that awesome zebra print paper I have. I think it turned out just "FABulous"!!!!! You will probably see a couple more projects including my zebra print in the near future:) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I had planned on spending as much of yesterday as I could in there but things came up and I of course got busy with a few other things. I LOVE all the challenges that <a href="http://www.mypinkstamper.com/">My Pink Stamper</a> has for National Scrapbook Day. I would love to complete all 12 but I do not think that I will be able to complete them all by tomorrow night. I will do my best though and have lots of fun creating. For challenge #1 we are to create a cupcake themed project. I of course instantly knew that I would pull out my Sweet Treats Cartridge for this one. I was inspired by <a href="http://www.mypinkstamper.com/2011/05/national-scrapbook-day-challenge-1.html">Robyn's Cupcake card</a> that she made. I used the same cupcake but different paper and colors. Her's is SUPER cute! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I did not keep exact measurements on these NSD projects but the card base is dark brown card stock by Bazzill with an embossed flower layer also by Bazzill. The cupcake wrapper is cut from Echo Park Paper-A Walk In The Park. SUPER CUTE paper, I am in love with Echo Park Paper!!!!!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Hope all of you Mother's out there are having a wonderful day! My Pink Stamper's <a href="http://www.mypinkstamper.com/2011/05/national-scrapbook-day-challenge-4.html">NSD Challenge #4</a> is to create a project with a Mother's Day Theme. This was not hard since today is Mother's Day I needed to make one anyway. I really loved how this one came out. This is the card we are giving to my Mother-in-law today along with a beautiful pot of flowers for her to enjoy all Summer long. I have a couple other Mom's Day cards made but will have to wait to post them since I am not able to see my mom & sister today. She reads my blog so I do not want her to see it before I give it to her:) <br />
<br />
There are 12 Challenges total and I will be doing what I can and posting as them as I finish them in no particular order. <br />

How Exciting!!!! The challenge this week is to create a project using pastel colors and a Spring theme. I wanted to make something other than a card for this project so I decided to go with a wall/door hanger that screams SPRING. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Please join us in this weeks challenge and link-up your project </span><a href="http://www.patchesofpink.com/"><span style="font-family: inherit;">here.</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> You may enter the challenge starting today (Thursday) and going thru Sunday May 8th.

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I wanted this to have a good sturdy base so I cut all the base pieces from cereal boxes that I have been saving. It provided the perfect thickness all layered up. </span><br />

Hope you all are having a fantastic Monday, its a little chilly and overcast today here in Illinois where I live but I am looking forward to temps in the 70's midweek with hopefully some sunshine. I really need to get outside and get some yard work done. I love to be outside and can't wait to get out and start planting. We also have a few outside projects planned so I can't wait to get them started and see the end results. Anyway...I made this quick little card last week and I really love how simple it turned out. It was super easy to make and does not include a cricut cut (sigh). This is one of my favorite color combos to use. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Working on few projects this week including my very First DT Project for </span><a href="http://www.patchesofpink.com/"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Patches of Pink</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> which will be up on Thursday so please check back then to see all the projects along with a challenge and link-up.

I hope you all had a fabulous Easter and were able to spend it with the ones you love. We had a very busy weekend spending Saturday with my family and Sunday with my in-laws. Last week was crazy busy for so I did not get much crafting done at all. I somehow managed to whip up a couple cards at the request of my mother-in-law. So I thought that I would share them with you today. She was looking for a card to give to a friend who just recently got engaged. I kept it pretty simple a did two different designs for her to choose from. I could have gone with a more specific engagement theme with these but I just kept it simple. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I think that this yellow one is actually my favorite out of the two, although I do like them both. For this design I decided to use the celebrate sentiment from my new stamps by TPC Studio "Greetings". This is my first time using stamps in any of my projects so I am still working with them. I am not sure if is the ink I have or the fact that I was using textured card stock but I had a hard time getting the sentiment to look right. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I hope you are all having a great day. I have been working on this project for about week, it really should not have taken a week but for some reason things were just not falling together for me on this project. Today is the last day to enter the </span><a href="http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/2011/04/spring-fling-cricut-crawl.html"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Fantabulous Cricut Spring Fling Challenge</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> so I thought if I wanted to get something entered I had to finish this today. The challenge was to create something for Spring using the colors PINK, GREEN, & YELLOW. I love that color combo so I am not sure why this was difficult. Anyways, I ended up making this sign to actually put in a frame and display in my craft room or maybe someplace else in my house. I also thought that I could make one as each new season approaches and always have a cute little sign to display. I already have ideas for a Summer sign.

I am really loving what I came up with. I found this really cute cupcake paper at Hobby Lobby on clearance a few weeks ago so I thought it would go perfect for this project. I came across a challenge over at the <a href="http://cricutcardzchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/04/cricut-cardz-challenge-70.html">Cricut Cardz Challenge</a></span> <span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">blog to make a cupcake holder or wrapper for Easter. I am sad that I did not have a cute little cupcake on hand to put in this holder for the picture, it would have been really cute! I think these would be adorable filled with candy, not just cupcakes! I felt like if I was going to make a holder that I would need a card to go with it, so I made them all match. I am kinda weird like that! At the last minute I decided I needed to make a tag to go along with everything. It is color coordinated but I did not have a thinner brown ribbon to use for it so it has a light pink ribbon with white dots. It still looks cute but I think it would have looked better with brown. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB4LcHCwD3KjbYZ1dWnZrkAH7aRHgH7bWqbBJOqy5fez8kBCjvOfMagcY_ieAIHweraTYS0RRSOWtNIK__Unq_bl8HKsma-37az4qm2_5bdqG0IrNQ4IM76hSUV2HrLKJ7FfzP5eVb3wS0/s1600/SL383035.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB4LcHCwD3KjbYZ1dWnZrkAH7aRHgH7bWqbBJOqy5fez8kBCjvOfMagcY_ieAIHweraTYS0RRSOWtNIK__Unq_bl8HKsma-37az4qm2_5bdqG0IrNQ4IM76hSUV2HrLKJ7FfzP5eVb3wS0/s400/SL383035.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div align="center" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Its hard to believe that Easter is right around the corner and spring is starting make its presence, 2011 is rushing right along. It seems the older I get the faster things seem to go. I just got this really pretty spring paper by DoodleBug Design Inc a couple weeks ago so I was excited to finally use it. I knew if would make a perfect spring/Easter project. I ended up keeping it pretty simple because I loved the paper so much. I am a little obsessed with stitching my projects so I of course had to add that but I just love the look it gives. </span><br />

I have a project for you today, it just so happens to be one of my favorite cards yet! I just recently purchased 3 new cartridges, I have been SUPER excited to use them but I have been busy and have not had a lot of time in my craft room, (sigh)! I feel in love with this little stroller from the Simply Charmed cartridge and I just had to make something using it.

This week I finally got the chance to make and give not one but two cards away. My mother-in-law asked if I would make a card for the baby shower we would be attending this weekend so I of course could not turn down a chance to use my cricut. I needed to make a card to go along with my gift anyway so it gave me a little extra time in my craft room. I came up with 2 different designs and I love them both. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
