Just for you/you are a fabulous friend


Hello again my crafty friends, what an awesome week it has been, I have found such inspiration on your blogs which kicks me into fifth gear! I had so much energy this week that I decided to join an Zumba exercising class!!! Last night was my first class and wow what fun and what a work out!!!!! Oh yes I am feeling it today, hehe.. love it!!


I did a simple card using different patterned papers for a friend of mine, she sure has had her share of tribulations lately so I was thinking I could at least make her smile by giving her this colorful cheery card. Every day I make it a point to sit and purposely think about other's and what they are going through, and more importantly how I can make that person feel they are thought about and heard. I think we all have a primary goal which is to be present and I also think our secondary goal should always be in play - to be selfless


Think about someone else today and even if you do nothing for them let the energy of thought alone do the work. Lets be there for each other!
Some of the papers I used were from Nikki Sivils Exit here collection... I punched holes at the top of the pennants with my crocodile big bite and add  twine... Caribbean blue and Sorbet pink. The Giraffe was a cheap foam stamp, one of 9 in a package from the dollar store.. I stamped and embossed it, isn't it so cute!!




Thank  you for your support, I love hearing from you, you ALL make my day!!!!

FCCB Challenge/ Cruisin Through Life Together

Hello everyone, Happy Wednesday !!!! 


Well let me tell you I had a blast doing this project and used my Cricut machine more in one night than the whole time owning it which is one year next month!


If you have been following me you know that I love to participate in the challenges over at FCCB, this week's challenge was to use a car, train, plane, etc.

I choose a car for my project from the Niffty Fiffty's Cartridge and I love it! There were dancers on the same cartridge along with the radio. I thought I would have fun and place the couple dancing on top of the car, putting the radio on the car really added to the fun and I tilted the car so that it appears to be dancing as well, hehe!
 This project is a personal Journal I made for myself, I will be doing art journalling on the inside using gesso and paint along with adding pictures of my boys and I.
I will be sure to share it with you when I get it done! 
I hope you love it as much as I do!!! I am now addicted to using my Cricut, thank you FCCB!!!!!!
Here is my project! It is  81/2" by 11"  ( Yeah , big right? ) Join in on the fun by following the link above.

Oh Life is so much fun! Have a super fantastic day!!!!
