Cardz TV 3D Challenge #1- Graduation

Hi there!  I'm so happy to announce that I'm a new Cardz TV Design Team Member!  This week's challenge is to create a 3-D project for Graduation.  For my project I made a milk carton using the Artiste Cricut cartridge along with a little card.  I made these for my son for his 5th Grade Graduation!  Both the "You are my shining star" sentiment on the milk carton and the "You did it!" sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Cardz TV "It's All About You" stamp set.  The "Happy Graduation Day!" sentiment on the outside of the card is from the Cardz TV "Happy Days" stamp set.  You can purchase both of these sets HERE.  The faces on the stars are from the Cornies Face Assortment from Peachy Keen Stamps.  I hope to see you link up your project this week!  Thanks for looking and have a great day!  :)

I Love You Valentine's Day Card

Hi there!  Today I'm sharing my first Valentine's Day card for this year.  This card was actually my daughter's idea.  She started using the doily lace punch to punch out different color borders and said we should put them all on the same card.  So this is what we came up with.  I think it turned out pretty cute!  Thanks for looking and I hope everyone enjoys watching the Super Bowl tonight!  :)

Sunny Days Layout

Hi everyone!  This is a layout I made for the Sunny Days Challenge at Bitten By The Bug 2.  The challenge was to have "Sunny Days" on the project. I am also entering this in the Getting Scrappy Challenge - Getting Punchy over at Amanda's Crafts And More.  This challenge was to use any type of punch on your layout. I used a punch for the fence, grass, clouds, and butterflies.  I've always wanted to use the clothesline cutout from the Country Life Cartridge but never got the chance.  I thought this would be a really good time to use it.  Hope you have a great rest of the day.  Thanks for looking!
