Hello and good Wednesday morning to you! Sorry this post is a bit late! We found out yesterday that we are having a baby girl and all the rest of the day's activities got eclipsed by dreaming about her! :)

Valentine's Tag

Good Wednesday Morning!

I got EVERYTHING shown here from Shop Pumpkin Spice!!! Check out the "new items" and you might see a sneak of the "A Boy's Life" by Echo Park up for pre-order and I happen to know that Crate Paper's Paper Heart will be making an appearance shortly so if you were thinking of buying it, hold off for Denine's great prices! 

I'm here for a quick tag to go on your Valentine's gifts!

My husband and I got the wonderful opportunity to go to Paris a few years ago and absolutely LOVED it so this will probably be for him. We don't do a lot on Valentine's Day. So we'll probably order a pizza and have a picnic on the floor and he might even let me pick a chick flick movie! haha. 

Last year I did a 5 course dinner for my friends with wine pairings. Hmm... maybe I should do that again!  

Anywho, here it is!

I've been seeing these stitched hearts everywhere, but I don't have a sewing machine. So I scored them all in the middle, punched holes in the top one, and strung twine through it to still give it a "stitched" feel. :)

I attached each of the centers of the hearts together using one extreme adhesive square in between each later. 

Recipe:

• Cricut Cartridges:
• Sentimentals™ (tag)
• Wild Card™ (hearts)
• Patterned Paper:
• Echo Park: Yours Truly "Hugs & Kisses"™ (polka dots)
• My Mind's Eye: Lost and Found Two: Blush "Sweet" Eiffel Paper™ (script)
• Bazzill Basics Beetle Black™
• Stickers: Echo Park: Yours Truly™
• Twine: 
• The Twinery in Maraschino™
• The Twinery in Stone™
• White Gel Pen
• Glue Arts Extreme Adhesive Squares™

I also entered this into City Crafter's Challenge Blog #91 where my SUPER sweet friend June is guest designing this week! The challenge is "Back to Black" with a silhouette. Love it! :) 

Brother

Bittersweet: This is the last month I will be a DT member for Artful Delight WAAAAHHH, but I have LOVED this year that I have been on this DT and cherish all the memories and the people I met. I'll do some more "crying" on my final post, so for now I'll just delve into my project!

This was the first card I made with Artful Delight's October Kit! It is for the sketch challenge where YOU could win next month's kit if you win! Check it out HERE. 

Brother

Recipe:
Artful Delight October Kit
Cartridge: Sentimentals™

I made it using this sketch:

I made this for my husband's little brother - who I have naturally assumed is my brother now too as I never had any siblings. He puts up with me ;) I could not have gotten luckier when it comes to family that I married into and I just ADORE him! He's single ladies and oh so handsome! He's the second best man I have ever met (only second to my husband). Applications can be sent to CourtsCraftsBlog@gmail.com. haha. But I seriously am thinking about putting him up for the next Bachelor! :) 

Awww! Isn't he just the most handsome!?! LOVE him! 

Thank you - card 4 of 4 in the Shop Pumpkin Spice kit!

It's actually my Grammy's birthday today!!! Happy birthday Grammy! Wish I could be there to celebrate with you!!! Love you!

I made these thank you cards for my cousin Katie. I married into the best family ever. I truly believe it. Anyway, Katie is one of my (many) new cousins and she is an INCREDIBLE quilter. You can check out her blog HERE. It's called "From the Blue Chair" because she sits in her adorable blue chair to quilt from.

Anyway, she sent me the most adorable elephant that I couldn't love any more than I do. She (the elephant) will have her own photo-shoot and post one day so you will get to meet her. I wanted to send Kati a thank you card along with something I made so I made these three thank you's for her to use - from the blue chair :)

You're My Favorite

Nikki Sivilis had a sketch challenge and I tried - I really tried.... I can't say that I'm super duper pleased with the resulting card, but it was different for me and I'm always up for a challenge. 

I never make anything that I don't post on here so while sometimes I feel like the cards I post aren't the very best I've made, I'm still happy to share them with YOU to let you know that not everything I make is fabulous and so be proud of your process and your work no matter what because you are still expressing your creativity and that's a beautiful thing no matter what card comes out of it. Okay, I'm done "preaching". :) 

Here is the sketch it is based on:

Hope you are all having a wonderful end of your week. I am in Colorado for a wedding and we are having crazy weather here! I'll be back very soon and will be back in my craft room. :)

Happy Easter everyone! 

Guest Design Post for Monique Griffith Designs!

I am SO thrilled and honored to be a guest designer for my good friends Monique and Wendy! Pop on over to their blog: Monique Griffith Designs and say hello there too if you would like! Monique sells these FABULOUS layout and card kits that the 4 women come up with. They are ever-so talented and I know you will feel inspired there too! 

 I will be going to Monique's Crop for the Cure on May 1st and hopefully some of their future events! If you are in the San Francisco - Sacramento area you should definitely check them out! They are worth traveling for! Monique holds regular classes too if you are interested!

If you are going to be at the Crop for the Cure, say hello! I'll probably be one of the only redheads there! Well, that depends on what color Monique's hair is going to be... but something tells me pink! :) 

Thank you ladies for having me today! 

I wanted to make something Easter themed since Easter is this Sunday so I hope you enjoy some last minute inspiration and I hope you get to spend some wonderful quality time with your family.

Monique, Wendy, and I are HUGE fans of Echo Park so I was excited to pull out their Springtime collection and have some fun!

Wendy and I are on My Pink Design Team together so I wanted to use some of Robyn's stamps as well. As per usual, I picked up everything from Pumpkin Spice! She is having a sale this weekend - If you buy 4 of Robyn's stamp sets, it's $60! That's $15 each! What a steal! Coupon code is: HappyEaster!

I can't believe I didn't fit any Imaginisce on there! The bling queen is going to be so disappointed in me! (Wendy is the self-proclaimed "bling queen"!) Okay, next time I will BLING it out! 

Designer's Notes

I used my Stickles to put little dots in the middle of all of the polka dots so that it sparkles. It's a fun way to make a big print look like a smaller print.

Who says you can't have two types and colors of ribbon on one project. Have fun! It's YOUR creation!

Recipe:

• Cartridges: Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More™ (favor bag), Sentimentals™ (stamp shape), and Martha Stewart Seasonal Cake Art™ (remember to use those Cake carts in your normal Cricut!)
• Sentiment: My Pink Stamper: More Faithful Sayings™
• Embossing: Swiss Dots Emboss Folder™ 
• Paper: Echo Park Springtime™
• Scalloped Border: It's a sticker from Echo Park's Springtime!
• Stickles
• Ribbon: the yellow and white are Offray I believe. The purple is from my stash.

I loved being a guest designer this week! Have a beautiful day everyone and Happy Easter!

This month is FLYING by! I will be in Florida when you read this and tomorrow I will be hanging out with my design teammates from Betty Bee's Buzz! We call ourselves the honeybees! So this is the project that I am made for our swarm! A swarm is when a bunch of ladies that are Cricut-crazy get together and craft!

Today I have a fun post made with EAD Designs Vinyl! You should have gotten here from the fabulous talented and wonderfully sweet Jenn's blog! If not, start back at the beginning at the EAD Designs blog for fun fun fun! 

I cut out the vinyl on my Cricut™ after using the Gypsy™ to place it all where I wanted it to be placed on the mat. Now, I should have flipped the whole image so that I could adhere the vinyl to the underside of the silk screen, but I forgot and ran out of vinyl so I just used this and it still worked perfectly! 

Don't mind the bubbles - that was my hastiness and not a cause of the vinyl! About the vinyl... I have to tell you that I tried another vinyl before this one that I had won and thought that all vinyl was created equal. I am telling you right now that it is not the case. EAD Designs vinyl is SO much better! So while I had to find out the hard way, I will be promoting this vinyl with full confidence! 

The finished product :) Yes, I just left them on the hangers and Yudu'd them as I was going quickly and wanted to hang them up to dry.

At the swarm, we were each instructed to bring a project that everyone can do, so they will be blinging out their t-shirts using the i-rock from Imaginisce! This is what I did to mine: 

As I always show cards made with EAD Designs Stickerz, I just wanted to show another project using their vinyl to create an awesome product! I hope you enjoy them as much as I hope the girls enjoy them at the swarm!
