Happy Mother's Day!! 

I am super happy and double honored to be here sharing a creation on 

this wonderful Blogoversary Celebration!!

Today, I created three cards, one for each of my three younger sisters. 

Gladys, loves to sew! (she can make lovely wedding dresses amongst many other things).

Rita loves to go out there and Garden!

Monica cannot stay away from the hair dryer! (she has curly hair but wants it straight). 

Cricut Items Used: 

Expression II 

Gypsy 

Damask Décor cartridge (heart damask 4") 

French Manor cartridge (dress form 2.75") 

Freshly Picked cartridge (water can 1.28") 

Paisley cartridge (hair dryer 2.75") 

Thank you so much for visiting! If you want a bit more detail, visit Gaby’s Blog.

Rose In Vase Digi Stamp Card

I made this card using the Rose in Vase Digital Stamp from PCW. 

Here is a close up shot. I wanted to show that I colored the vase in with my Copic Markers and then used the Crackle Accents to make the vase look like it was a cracked glass vase. The picture doesn’t really do it justice. There is a lot of texture.

The freebie is the Rose in Vase Digital Stamp. It comes with the “stems”
and without. It is in Jpg and Png format.

It would be perfect to play along with for the Digital Challenge over at PCW: HERE

The Design team was given the Club Q May kits to work with. 

These are some wonderful kits that Quick Quotes creates!

Here is one of the kits available in the May Club Q package. It features some very pretty paper along with the pre-cut Die Cut title and the embellishments. The kit includes a full color photo of the finished project and step-by-step instructions. You can choose to do your kit as shown: or you can change it up.

Here is my first version of this kit. I used all of the same elements that come in the kit. I didn’t add anything to the kit provided. I did also ink the mats and patterned paper with the Mango Mai Tai Powder Puff Chalk Ink and the Tahiti  Powder Puff Chalk Ink.

Here is my second version of this kit. I added two pieces of River Reed Bazzill Cardstock. I also used some border and corner punches by EK Success.

Here is a close up of the letters and flower. I inked them with the

Mai Tai and Amaretto Powder Puff Chalk Inks.

Here is another close up of the title. I love how easily the ink covers the paper but still allows the texture of the paper to show through.

MORE Quick Quotes Projects.

Here is a layout I created for the Goodwill Blog Hop today. 

I used some of the WONDERFUL Powder Puff Chalk Inks by Quick Quotes.

Here is what a little chalk Ink can do for your die cuts.

Everyday in May Let's Celebrate Layout

Good morning crafty friends!
I hope you’re getting ready for another fun weekend of paper crafting! I am sure many of you have some fabulous plans for National Scrapbook Day! Be sure to include a stop here to CWC as we will be having another wonderful Everyday in May project and FREEBIE!

But for today, Jean, of www.jeanscraftycorner.blogspot.com, one of our wonderful Creative Designers has a simply sweet project for you!

I wanted to show how you can take dollar store items and decorate them for your party theme for less.  I started out with a yellow bag and pack of yellow plates and cups from the dollar store.

I then used the Birthday Cakes Cricut Cake cartridge to cut the Let's Party and the George and Basic Shapes cartridge for the flowers.  I used pink vinyl to cut all of the decorations for the cups, plates and bag.  I then used pink cardstock and cut the flowers to decorate the straws.  For the straws, you will need to enlarge the circle in the middle for the straws to fit through.

Be sure to head over to Jean’s Blog for complete details including cut sizes, etc!

Now for today’s Everyday in May Freebie #6 

In keeping with Jean’s wonderful project theme of Birthday Celebrating, I created this super easy scrapbook page.

Here is my layout. I used the following to complete this project:

The Blue, purple and numbered patterned papers are all from the AMAZING DCWV CELEBRATION STACK! Some of the numbers on the number paper are foiled! It really makes the layout dazzle!

ALSO the Birthday wish journaling block and the my little cupcake graphic are from this same stack! Just cut and paste!

DCWV Celebration Stack

Bazzill Red and White cardstock

Copic Markers

Diamond Stickles

Banner File from PCW.

Here is a close up of the banner and the word: Let’s. This is the Freebie File for today! It is a cutting file and comes in the following formats: AI, DXF, EPS, GSD, JPG, KNK, MTC, PDF, SCUT2, SVG and WPC.

The JPG and PDF file are for those who would like to hand cut them.

Remember the file is available for FREE until Saturday, May 7th @ 10am. If you would like this file simply: CLICK HERE.

Day #5 Everyday in May–CCR Fiesta Challenge

Good morning Crafty friends!


Hope you’re having a wonderful day! Happy Cinco De Mayo for those who celebrate!

Today our Design Team Member Nicole of Croppin Momma Designs is sharing a sweet card she made celebrating the expectancy of a baby!

Here is Nicole’s Cricutlicious creation!

Nicole created this card using the following cartridges:

New Arrival for Momma and Carriage

Create A Critter for Clouds

Doodlecharms for Sun

Please be sure to head over to Nicole’s Blog for more details on this simply sweet card!

Now for today’s Freebie #5. And My Creative Cutter Room Fiesta Challenge Project!

In honor of Cinco De Mayo, I came up with this cute digi stamp set that I hope you will enjoy!  Here is a picture of a card I made using some of the elements on the set.

I cut the elements out and colored them in with my Copic Markers. I edged the patterned paper as well as the cardstock and the Donkey elements with my Dark Brown Cat’s Eye Chalk Inks. I used the banner with the thick outline. The outline makes cutting it out by hand easier as you don’t have to be as precise :-)

I created the Fiesta Time Digital Stamp in 1.25” and 1” circles so if you have a 1.25” or 1.5” circle punch you can easily cut them out.

Also, here is a picture of the set. It is a pdf file that ANYONE can use.

Remember it will be FREE until tomorrow,
May 6th @ 10am est. time (Detroit USA).
UPDATE: File Available HERE

Be sure to head over to the Creative Cutter Room to join in the Fiesta Challenge AND be sure to check out what the rest of the wonderful CCR Design Team came up with! You will have until May 18th to enter your challenge submission. Here is what you can win!!!!
