Hey Diva's!! It is a BEAUTIFUL Saturday around here and I am LOVING this Sun, It is truly taking me back to GA and you guys know how much I miss Ol'  GA!!

I am here to let you all know that TODAY marks the beginning of a New Challenge over @ My Sheri Crafts (*insert Jumping Up and Down Here*), and for this Bi-Weekly Challenge we are showin our Summer Love with Cards/projects!

This week we are joined by the Talented Barb O. of Bug Bites I kindly ask that you all stop by her Blog and go check out her Creations and leave her some Bloggy Love. Thank You Barb for joining us we Truly Apprecitate it!

Ok now For my Challenge Project I decided to make a Card:

Inside Sentiment Reads: "Enjoy the Summer"

Recipe:

Cartridge: Create a Critter

Sentiment: K Andrew Designs-Splashtastic

Paper: From My Stash

Ink: Memento ( Tuxedo Black)

Distress Ink: Tim Holtz

Let me tell you that this card has truly put me in the mood for the Summer! I am not a Huge Fan of the Beach ( I don't like the Mess that comes along with it, plus I don't like how the water/sand feel on my feet ewwww so I keep sandals on the whole time, lol Issues I know) but the Crew Members LOVE it so I don't force my opinions on them so I have to suck it up and Have a Great Day with them!!

But Anyway...now that I have shared my Card with you I ask that you all will Stop By My Sheri Crafts  and go check out the rest of the DT's Projects ( So steenkn Cute btw) and then come join us with YOUR take on this Summer Lovin Challenge!

I can't wait to see what you all come up with I know it's gonna be Rocking!! Ok well after all the Summer and Beach talk the Crew has come in here asking can we go to the Beach and just because I want to go out and Enjoy this Sun I think I'm gonna go ahead and give in lol ( hey you never know what the weather is gonna be like here so you better take advantage of it when you got it)!!

Be Blessed Guys and Remember,

Teacher Appreciation Week- Day 4

Hello Diva's! I hope today has found you all doing Well! For me I am Excellent but in need of some Energy! I am trying to stop drinking so much Coffee but I really need a Cup right now because I have a TON of things that need to be done!

But enough Small talk and on to what I dropped in for, to tell you all about Todays' Project!!

For Today I made:

Recipe:

Cart: Create a Critter

Sentiment: My Creative Time (My Teacher Rocks Stamp Set)

Nestabilities Die: Circles

Button: My Stash

Sanitizer; Dollar Tree

Paper: Recollections

The girls really liked this Sanitizer. Crew Member 2 said that she was going to get her hands dirty just so she could use the sanitizer, lol! My favorite part of this was How Fast it was to make and it was Cost efficient. I bought the Sanitizer for a buck @ the Dollar Tree and I just used the paper and other Supplies I had @ home. Easy Peasy!

So what do you guys think? Would/Have you made one of these??

 Well Im outtie, Blog with you all on tomorrow Be Blessed and Remember,

Teacher Appreciation Week- Day 1

Hey Diva's! So I meant to have this post up this morning but Last night the Crew and I (hubster included) all got Food Poison eeckk! We had Fish,Rice,and Corn on the Cob we Eat rice all the time and I don't eat Corn on the cob so we are thinking it was the fish. Needless to say we all went to the ER this morning and the Doctor confirmed it for us so we have been bed ridin all day. I needed to get this post up though, so while Im feeling a little better I decided to jump on while I had the energy.

So for us this week is Teacher Appreciation Week and I wanted to do something Special for my Girls Teachers. As you all know I have talked about their teachers ALOT because I think they are the Bestest (yes I know that's not correct) Ever! So I made a project for Everyday just to tell them Thank You for all they Do.

Each day Mon-Fri this week I will have a post showcasing each project. For todays project (which they didn't get to take since they were home sick) I made:

Easel Cards:

Recipe:

Cart Used: Create a Critter

Cuttlebug Folder: Spots and Dots

Sentiment: My Creative Time ( My Teacher Rocks)

Peachy Keen Stamps (Critter Faces, Med and Lrg Set)

I think the cards came out Really Adorable and I just can't wait to give it to them. Ok so my soup has arrived, so I'm gonna go eat as much as I can.

Sewing Project.

So after seeing a tutorial by Cristi Burton over @ scrappin 5 little cupcakes on Made it Myself Mondays over @ youhadme@craft.com (both are awesome blogs you guys have to check out!). I decided to pull my sewing machine out and try again since I haven't done anything on it since the last sewing project http://divaof5.blogspot.com/2011/05/little-sewing.html. I like how it turned out and I had fun doing it and Tae'lor likes it so really that's all that matters but I am going to try and use my machine more because I am not 100% and I am sort of a perfectionist so EVERYTHING has to Perfect down to the last little detail.

Just like Cristi I started w/ a plain tanktop I bought from Walmart.

I cute some images out on my Cricut using the Create a Critter cartridge.

This is after my first layer of ruffle! Not to bad I guess and btw I followed Cristi's tutorial almost exactly it was really easy.

This is my final project! Like I said Tae'lor loves it and she keeps asking me can she wear it so that makes me feel GREAT! Once again go check Cristi out @ Scrappin 5 little cupcakes for the full tutorial on how to make this cute little tank/dress.

Baby Boy Card

Well Guys I think I'm getting the hang of it (and having fun in the process). I was invited to a baby shower over the weekend so I decided to try my luck @ another card. Tell me what you think.
                                            
I used Create a Critter cart for my turtle he was cut @ 3" on my Cricut E2. The cloud was cut also from CAC @ 2". My sentiment is from Michaels it was in the Dollar bin. I found the Ribbon @ Walmart (both) my background paper is from Recollections Pet Paper Pack.
                                      
I took the rest of my scrap paper and added a little pocket on the back for a gift card. The gift card ended up fitting perfectly inside.

                                     
Im actually Really PROUD of this card, so proud that I am going to enter it in over @ Alex's blog http://www.youhadmeatcraft.com/ for her Made it Myself Monday Linking Party!
