This is a fun twist on connect four. 

Maymay has really been challenging to think and create.  

If only I get my craft room clean.

Link your card to Maymay's Post and you can win both of her current stamp sets. 

Here is the game board.

You have to choose any 4 but the trick is they must connect

Sycamore Street Designer Paper from Sale-a-Bration 2013



If you would like to order any of the supplies listed please send me an email.
The first 4 orders will receive a 6x6 sampler back of the sycamore street paper

I combined some same Stampin Up with some CTMH.

I found a card with this punch technique online and had to try it.

The butterfly stamp and punch are retired Stampin Up and the sentiment is from A Tree by CTMH.

I punched the paper so only the butterfly wings punched so you could see the color beneath. It took me several tries and not sure if I have it mastered yet. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

All of the ink and paper are from CTMH

I have really gotten into stamping since becoming a CTMH consultant. If I only had more time.

for $10 and the stamp of the month for $5 of you spend $50

Thanks For Everything Card

I needed to make a thank you card and thought I would use my stamp set Casual Expressions.  

I cut a whole page of  1 1/4 inch ovals and a whole page of  1 1/2 inch ovals for a shadow using my Artiste Cartridge.

I put them in the pouch with the stamp set to use for next time. 

 A few of the stamps use this size and shape.  

The Clementine paper was a scrap I had

I thought I would keep it simple so I could easily make more as needed.

Items Used:

Cricut Artiste

Casual Expressions

Clementine Paper

Bitty Sparkles

Twilight Ink

Twilight Paper

Colonial White Card Base

It has been a while since I posted. 
As you saw from my last post, I made a countdown to Frankie.

Frankie is here so I have been super busy and not much time to create.  

I need a birthday card for a coworker and this is what I came up with.

Diaper Card from the Cricut Artiste Cartrdige

I hope all the mom's are having a great day.  

I made this card last night for mother in law.  

Thanks to this site 

http://digitalartbydani.blogspot.com/ it was very easy to make.  

I cut it out on Silhouette Cameo and used some paper I had in my craft room.

I also used some pearls that I bought at AC Moore for $1.  

I love the details you can cut with the Silhouette and that you don't need a cartridge.  

I still use my Cricut but I love having both.  

My craft room is almost organized.  

You can't have too many birthday cards.

The first person to spend $100 on my new website and send me an email will get this stamp set.

This stamp set coordinates with the Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge Z1686

Using auto fill you can cut out 9 sets of flowers and centers using an 8 1/2 x 11 paper

and 12 flowers and centers using a 12 x 12 paper

The flower is found on page 57 of the Art Philosophy handbook

It is called flower 3 and cut at 2 1/2"

The flower center is found on page 21 of the Art Philosophy Handbook

It is called circle 1 and cut at 1"

Inks I used:

I just ordered some more inks. I love the way store and stack up in my craft room.

If anybody has any tips on lining up the cricut with the stamp let me know. I need to practice. The CTMH My Acrylic stamp sets stamp so nicely and are perfect for card making.
