Inking it Up Crazy Design Team Day!!!

Well, we were asked to use one of our favorite cartridges for our last Inking it Up Crazy DT this month. I have SO many favorites and this is one of my newest favorites. If you don't recognize him, this is Squirt from Finding Nemo. I think he is adorable. I also made this for my sister in law's birthday that is tomorrow. Something cute and something to remind her that our beach vacation is not too far away. I hope you all have a great week. Please be sure to check out all the wonderful projects from all of our design team gals.

Good Luck Lisa

Friday is the last day for my friend/co-worker, Lisa at work. She is moving on to another company closer to home and with better pay. Lisa is my Stampin Up friend and who really taught me how to make cards. She is a very compassionate friend who has done so much for me. I am truly going to miss her good mornings but will try my hardest to go see her from time to time so we can make cards together. I would not be where I am today without her. :) I had a hard time making something pretty for her. It's been a tough week for me and I am trying the best that I can. I hope you all like this card. Please be sure to come back Saturday for our Polka Dot Blog Hop. Our team will have some amazing projects.

Beach Layout - Inking It Up Crazy Design Team project

I decided to make my layout beach themed. This was really a challenge for me. It is so hard to do a layout after making cards for awhile. I am glad that my design team sister Erika got me this paper. This really gave me the inspiration I needed. This is where my husband and I like to go every summer, Corpus Christi, TX and Port Aransas, TX. These are not the "best" beaches in the world, but I don't have to leave Texas to go to the beach. We have an amazing design team at Inking it Up Crazy. Please be sure to check out their wonderful projects. Then, I would love to see you enter the challenge and make your own layout. Have a great Wednesday!!!!

Happy St. Patty's Day

Here is the first card I have made this year for St. Patrick's Day. I don't know if I will get any more made with everything that I have going on. It's already a busy month and I will have a lot of projects posted for both of my design teams that I am SO happy to be a part of. This card was really simple and easy to make. I hope this will inspire you to make something. Also, I will have my FIRST project up Monday, March 7th for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog. You will have to check out the design teams projects. Hope you all are having a wonderful weekend.
