Moo-chas Gracias!

The challenge at Cooking with Cricut today is cows! I've been dying to use the stamp set I won from My Pink Stamper for being an honorable mention in her last DT call. So I made a tag to be attached to a gift bag...doesn't this lil' cow just look ready for a great, big, thank you hug?! :)

A Special Whimsical Wednesday

This is a very special week at Whimsical Wednesday. This week, both card teams have come together for our challenge, to make get well cards for a very special little boy. Angelo, who is the grandson of Margie from Bella Bug Creations, is going through a very difficult time right now. He underwent brain surgery last week and will begin chemotherapy next week. You can read more about Angelo at this post over at Margie's blog. We hope that you will all join us and make a card for Angelo too.....

Red, White & Blue

Today is Design Team day at Craft Junkie Too, and we were asked to make a patriotic project for the upcoming holiday. I wanted to get back to basics with this project, so I opted out of using my Cricut (yes! you heard me right, I CHOSE not to use it lol). Let me tell you, it was harder than I thought. I'm so used to having something 'extra' or 'cute', that I wasn't liking my own project. I even told Tracy (Craft Junkie Too) that I might submit something else....but I stuck with it, because I figured that no one "hits the mark" 100% of the time. We really are our own worst critics! Anyways, here's my project...

I won another blog award!

I will be the first to admit I'm bad about posting these when I get them, but while the little one is napping, I thought I'd take a second to post :). Thanks to Robyn at Scrappin' Delta Diva and Brenda at Random Thoughts of a Scrapbooker for this sweet award!

As with most blog awards, I have to reveal 7 random things about myself. So here we go!

1. I feel like making some fruit salad
2. I speak 4 languages
3. I watch Disney channel (even when my little one is asleep)
4. I've never been on a Cruise
5. I don't like to cook...but I'm an awesome baker
6. I'm turning 30 next month...and I'm throwing myself a party! :)
7. I'm addicted to ebay...just a little bit (cartridge prices are awesome!)

The last thing I have to do is pass this award on to some other deserving crafters...

1. Renee from I came, I saw, I created who's current series is AWESOME!
2. Liz from 217 Creations who'm I had the pleasure of meeting at the Stampede
3. Erika from Cricut Love who's always hooking me up with some awesome opportunities

and last buy not least...
8. Kim from Scrapin Mom on One Inspiring Little Boy who's creations I absolutely love!

Happy Birthday Matey!!

Today is my day at She's a Sassy Lady, and with my nephew's birthday just around the corner, I thought this would be a great project to share! He's having a pirate themed party and needless to say, I finally found my excuse to splurge on the Imagine Buccaneer cartridge - and what a fun cartridge!! I wanted to print EVERYTHING off lol :). Don't worry, I controlled myself and stuck to making a card, and trying out the chest cut on the cart for little treats. I was really excited to share this today because its also my first all-Imagine project (not that there will be lots of those). Here's how it turned out....



If you would like a tutorial on how to assemble the treasure chest, head on over to She's a Sassy Lady to check out my post!

Watermelons at Cooking with Cricut

The challenge this week at Cooking with Cricut is watermelons. Mmm, mmm good! What's better than a watermelon on a hot, summer day?! Well, maybe a mango...mmm..or pineapples. I think I'm going to make a fruit salad today lol :). Anways, I made an envelope for a little thank you note...

4th of July with Whimsical Wednesday

This week's challenge at Whimsical Wednesday is to use bling, brads and/or buttons in your 4th of July design. I chose to make a cute little treat bag with some glittler and some bling...simple and sweet!

Today, we're celebrating dads! I had a great idea for a card in my head, but it just didn't transfer to paper too well. So I thought since I just finished shopping for my honey's gift this afternoon, all that was missing was a gift tag for the bag. So here's how it turned out....

I also made a cake for the special occasion....

Father's Day Gift Card Holder

Today's challenge at Cooking with Cricut is Father's Day! I was kind of excited about doing another Father's Day project because that means I'm official done and I will no longer leave it for last minute...hi, my name is Roberta and I am a procrastinator! lol Why do I always wait until the last second?! I'm sure I'm definitely not the only one! :) Anyways, here's my gift card holder for the daddy in your life...

Baby Shower Gift Set

Today is my day at The Bug Bytes, but as always, I like sharing my projects here as well! For the full post, along with directions (including pictures), check out my post HERE.

I have a dear friend's baby shower to attend today, and I really wanted this project to come out just right! I was inspired by a similar project I saw on the Cricut MB a while back, and decided this was just what I was looking for. I made a shape card, and a mini bag to hold her gift card (I became a gift card giver at baby showers after I had my own...because you realize how much you still need AFTER the party is over lol!

Here's how it turned out....
