Welcome Back to Monday with 3 Challenges for You to Join!



Hey Friends! Welcome back to Monday with 2 3 Challenges for You to Join!!!



It's time for Challenge me Monday at FCCB! This week's challenge is a 3 x 3 Valentiny. Doesn't that sound fun?

The AWESOME Emma of My Creative Time is the sponsor this week, and she's given some of us DT members the chance to use her GREAT product!!



My Creative Time
 

I got a set of her YUMMY Classmate Valetine stamps. I was SO SUPER EXCITED to get to use these. I love Emma's stuff.
Here are my 3 x 3's using her stamps....






I used Create-a-Critter and cut the Lady Bug and the Zebra at 2". I used some MS papers and some Walmart standard stock. I used some 3GJ ribbon. The super cool sentiment and the "to" and "from" are from the Classmate Valetines stamp set.

I hope you like my cards and gather some inspiration from them. Now go make yourself some cutie 3 x 3's and link 'em up at FCCB .




It's time for another challenge at ME4Y. This week is a sketch challenge. Here's the sketch...

This week's great sponsor is ...

 

Here is my impression of the sketch...




I used some great papers from Echo Park Yours Truly and My Mind's Eye Love Me. I just got them at Pumpkin Spice . They have great prices and outstanding choices. My enabling friend Sherrie of Sherrie Scraps with Passion got me started on it. I also got Kate's ABCs cart and OMGosh had to use the sundae cut at 3". Too cute, some more enabling friends from the Blends Join Hands Hop got me wanting this cart.

I hope you like my creation and hope it inspires you. Take your shot at the sketch and link on up at ME4Y .


and now a new one for ya....I was recently choosen to be a member of the Digi Darla's Challenge Blog . YAY ME!!!



Digi Darla's is home to Digi Darla's Designs, a digi store with some super cute stamps. You can link-up and play....there's always a super cute freebie to play around with...

This hop is still open for you to link-up and also for prizes. It is for a great cause, so please hop over and look HERE .







Welcome to the Cricut Craftin Friends Blog Hop 
Celebrating Cricut Craftin Grammys 1 year
Blogaversary!





I'm so happy you could join us for this hop! Suzanne asked a few of her Cricut Messageboard friends and co-design team friends (Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, Lasting Memories and Sweet Sassy Diva )to join her in this 2-day hop.  She asked us to share anything creative as long as we used a Cricut (or other die cut machine if you do not have a Cricut.)

GRAND PRIZE!!

Your choice of a $25 gift card from either Michael's or Joanns.


Hop Rules
Must Be Followed to Win Grand Prize

1. Leave a comment on ALL hop stops for BOTH days of hop.


This is a 2-DAY hop, be sure to check out both days so you don't miss any creativeness. Because there are a large number of participants,  you will have until January 30th to post your comments for the two days of the blog hop. 

Now let's get to it...




I used Doodlecharms for 2 different heart cuts, both cut at 2". I welded them together with my Cricut Design Studio software. I embossed with a Sizzix folder.The patterned paper is from a two Martha Stewart Valentine's Day packs. The solid pink stock is from Walmart.




Though this card is simple, I thought it was cute. I again used my CDS. I used Mini Monograms and welded together 2 scalloped square bases. I used my Nestabilities die and ran it through my Big Shot to get the scalloped circles. The hearts are bling from Walmart.


I am so honored that Suzanne asked me to be part of her celebration. I am on the DT of Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog with her. She is an outstanding crafter, teammate and friend.
