Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Campin' Critters AND Nifty Fifties

Happy Tuesday! Today I have for you my TTC challenge, and guess what? It's a scrapbook page - NOT a card! LOL :)


This is a 8x8 scrapbook for my daughter's Girl Scout summer camp pictures.

The skunk and "Summer Camp" title are from Campin' Critters and the sign is from Walk in my Garden.

I hope you enjoyed my little project - be sure to check out the other DT member's adorable projects. Please come and join us for the challenge too! :)

Sneak Peek #2 - HAPPY CAMPERS!

Hello! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! :)

Today I am sharing a project made with our new Scrappy Moms Stamps Happy Camper set...


The scene and tent are from Campin' Critters, the fire is from Create A Critter, and the stones around the campfire are the small hole punch on the Crop-o-Dial. Note: I had to "trim down" the river to make room for my tent and fire. I took off about 1/4 of the river on the left side - I just cut it to match the original shape.

Here is the photo of the full Happy Campers set -


On a sad/frustrating note my red Cricut Expression died right in the middle of this card! I've only had it 19 months and, BAM, out of service! I have had several friends in the blog world warn about the 18 month cut off so Tammy and decided last month to buy new ones that we found on special on-line. They were the same price as we paid for ours almost 2 years ago so we figured better safe than sorry. Boy, was I glad we did - I was able to get it out of the garage and continue working. :)

Here's what mine did, just as a heads up... it started not finishing the cut, literally! There would be a 1/4 inch or so section that just wasn't cut out. Then is started "making" the cut without the blade dropping down to the paper. It would go thought all the motions and there wasn't ANY contact between the blade and paper. I thought it might be my gypsy so I tried just the cartridge and overlay but it did the same thing. :(

I hope you have better luck this weekend with your crafting! LOL

Teriffic Tuesday Challenge - Preserves!

Happy Tuesday! This week's TTC with Scrappy Moms Stamps is Preserves. I have had this cart for quite a while and I might have used it once. :(

This is actually the 2nd idea I had for this challenge but I just got overwhelmed because of all the layers and decided to go with my back-up idea (LOL) ...


It's difficult to tell, but my peach is on a Wobble... for a little Shakin'! :)

The tree is from Campin' Critter (I cut off the rabbit as I did in this project) and embossed with Cuttlebug's Devine Swirls folder. The card base is from Lacy Lables and the stamp is from SMS Good Eats stamp set.

I hope that you will join us for this weeks TTC! Have a great week! :)

Sneak Peek #4 - Thank a Soldier!

Another project using Scrappy Moms Stamps Yankee Doodle Dandy set today. I hope you like this simple card - with a big statement. :)


It was a VERY quick card to put together but I like how it turned out! The white base of the card is from Lacy Labels - can you tell I LOVE this cart? The tree is from Campin' Critters - the rabbit peeking out from behind the tree. I hid the contours of his hand on my Gypsy and then {heartlessly} cut him off the final cut. LOL I also cut 2 layers of the leaves, one a little smaller (which I popped up) to give a shadow effect. Of course, I HAD to add some red, white and blue bling for a little patriotic flair. LOL

I also stamped "Thank you for your Service and Sacrifice" inside and the kiddos and I are going to send the card to A Million Thanks for the troops. :)

I have one more card for you tomorrow to finish out the Sneak Peek Week (say that 5 times fast - LOL) - hope to see you then!
