Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday Challenge

This card was just a real quick card.  It's the little dinosaur from Create a Critter.  All SU paper except for the patterned and glitter are DCWV.  The stamp is from Hanna stamps.  Ribbon is also from SU.

Cupcake blog hop inspiration

Here is the card I made after being inspired last night by the Cupcake blog hop, while my toddler was sleepy today.  She's been such a challenge herself lately.  The terrible twos going into terrible threes.  Need I say more? 

Anyways.....I enjoyed this challenge because I love making cupcake cards and plus cupcakes are yummy.  I made this card using my Gypsy.  

Recipe:

 All the solid paper and ribbon is from Stampin Up.  Cuttle Bug D'vine Swirl embossing folder (my favorite so far)

  I used the stamp, scalloped oval punch and plain oval punch from Stampin Up.  Flowers are from PTI.

 DCWV patterned and glitter paper.  Cupcake is from Straight from the Nest.

Here are some cards I made a while ago and thought I would include them.

 This card was made from the Wild card cart.  I had just watched My Pink Stamper on Youtube and was learning how to use my cricut.

My walmart card.  Everything, but the stamp was from Walmart.  I was staying with a friend in Anchorage and needed a card fix.:)

 This orange cupcake card was inspired last summer by Live Love and Scrap.  Her cards are so creative and fun.  You should check her blog out and youtube videos if you haven't already.

This card was one of my first Cricut cards.  I Made it from Doodle Charms, back when I only had but a few carts.  Now I have almost forty.  It's an addiction, I've said it before.  I know some of you can relate. ;)

Owl card

The wind was blowing about 50mph here in Bethel today, so my work let us go home early.  The roads were bad, but we made it home alright.
Did I take advantage of the time and make a scrumptious dinner?  No, we had left overs and I made a card.  I haven't been able to in a long time, so I did.  I think it turned out cute.  The colors aren't as dark in person, but I still haven't figured out my camera yet.

Recipe:
Owl from create a critter cart.
K and company designer paper
Stampen up stamps, paper, ribbon and punches
Flower is from paper tray ink

Embossing done with Cuttle Bug Swirls folder

Christmas Cards

I know, I know,  I haven't put anything up for a long while.  I have been super busy and I my old computer went belly up.  But now I have a new mac pro.  Yae!!!  I did however create lots and lots of cards in Nov.  and only took pictures of a few.  Here are some of them.  Enjoy, and by the way MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Time spent with sister, Michaella's drawing.

Had a great visit with my big sister Michelle from Massachusetts.  My kids got to spend some time with her, but especially Michaella.  They spent the whole day drawing while watching an instructional video on the Internet.  I can't believe how well Michaella did.  She did it all herself, and Michelle created her own as well.   Take a peek at naiveabandon.wordpress.com.  I'm sooo proud of her.  :)
