BBTB2 Challenge Teddy Bear Parade clown

It's time for a new challenge at BBTB2 from our fearless leader Susan.  I absolutely adore this cart so I didn't need much urging to make this card.  I was one of those people that every time Provo Craft asked what we wanted on a cart I always said teddy bears 

so I was really excited when this cart came out.  

I cut groups of teddy bears every once in awhile to have ready and available.  I cut them at 5 inches as then I can get 6 on a 12 x 12 sheet.  I place these pieces in a baggy so that when I want to make a cute teddy bear card or use one on a layout I just have to dress it.  

 The ticket paper was cut into a ticket shape using Fabulous Finds.  

I hope you will join us this week for the BBTB2 challenge. If you don't have the Teddy Bear Parade cart you can use another clown cut from a cartridge.  We would love to see your creations.  

Happy Craftin!

Happy Easter to all

May you have a blessed Easter!

Baby Step Card using Sugar and Spice

A friend asked me recently to make a card for a baby shower recently.   I knew right away I wanted to make a step card like my dear friend Brenda from Friends Crafting with Friends  made for me when I had my grandson last October.  It was so amazing.  Of course my card was blue  and I made a pink one for a girl so a little different.  All the cuts are from the Imagine cart Sugar and Spice.  

Thanks Brenda for a lovely card and for the inspiration to make this card.  

Rolodex Things to Remember Calendar

I had seen Rolodex Days to Remember calendars on pinterest and other places.  I had this on my things to do list but never got around to it.  Then recently one of my friends at the LSS where I teach did a class.  I think this is so cute and will come in so handy.  I didn't take pictures of all the pages just a few so you get the idea.  All I had to do after the class was over was add some birthday cards.

My Paper Crafting- Easter cutter challenge

Wow Spring has sprung or not in many cases depending on where you live and it's just a few days away from Easter.  

I made this layout for the Easter challenge using the cute little basket from Doodlecharms cut in a chevron pattern paper.  The eggs in the basket are hand cut and the banner, and the rest of the paper is from my LSS which is Reminisce.  The banners and stickers are from the same line.  

I hope you will join us this week for the challenge at My Paper Crafting and create something with Easter in mind and your Cricut.  Also check out all the other great posts this week each and every day.  

Happy Easter to all!

My new marker storage I can take wherever I go

I am so excited about my new stylish marker storage. 

I have room for all my Spectrum Noir Markers and my Copics.  I only have 30 right now but theres still room for more.  LOL  Once you close the latches you can carry this wherever you go and they do not spill.  

 A couple lovely ladies from the scrapbook store where I work shared this with me.  I have some white shelves I bought to keep my markers in at home but it wasn't working for when I wanted to take them to the scrapbook store or even downstairs to color when watching tv.  

This is the largest size suitcase from Michaels.  They have some gorgeous patterns.  

They are normally 24.99 and I got this for 40% and then an extra 20% off Sunday. 

So it was less than $13  

Then I went to Lowe's and bought a sheet of these plastic squares for 12.00.  

They are some kind of plastic for lighting so are where the large sheets of plastic are to put in ceilings.  It was easy to cut with pliers.  I double stacked mine.   

You actually get enough for two suitcases if you have a friend that wants to make one.  

So total $25.00

These are not my markers but I found this picture to show you what the plastic looks like.  

My next step is to put pretty tape on my markers for when I am cropping.
