A super cool announcement and a card :

First the announcement!

I was asked to be a guest designer on Christmas with the Cricut. Yay!! How cool is that!?!? Those gals are uber talented. Be sure to stop over there and look at all their incredible projects!!!

Now for a card...

This is a quick card I made for our neighbor's 9th birthday.

The frosting on the cupcake is white liquid applique that I tinted with pixie pink reinker. Then while I was heating up the applique I added a few beads as sprinkles.

I hope you like it. (I apologize for the bad picture, but my camera was dead so I had to use my daughters)

Ribbon 101 Video tutorial

I posted my first ever video tutorial. Let me just say this...I certainly am not an expert in any way shape or form. LOL!!

This tutorial is geared towards those looking to use ribbon, but not really sure how/where to start.

A few quick cards

Hi everyone...I hope you all a have a great spring. We have had some great weather here in Wisconsin the past couple of days...yay!!

I did manage to squeeze in some 'crafty time'. Both of the cards I am posting today are from the daily challenges over at www.fctsc.com (where I just happen to be a moderator, and the challenge facilitator ---with a FABULOUS team of challenge creators;)) Please stop on by and chat & browse the fabulous gallery.

This first card was for Monday's technique challenge, where we did the poppin' pastels. Dust off those old chalks, and have some fun!!!





This second card is a card sketch that was posted by the SUPER talented and very sweet Melanie (just in case you want to check out her fabulous blog--http://courtney-lane.blogspot.com/)
