It's Saturday ... time to MONKEY Around!

LOL!   It was a fun day mixed with some errands, a trip to the park for a walk to enjoy sunshine,  getting the grill out  and (2)  R-E-A-L-L-Y close basketball championship games and you get some crazy stuff.    Whew,  I wanted this to be posted earlier but ... I had to keep stopping to watch the game.  

The sketch I used was MOJO Monday #287.   I did 2 different cards with one for a baby sentiment for the challenge over at Twist of Faith #31 and pun fun for the challenge over at H2H.    

Enjoy! 


Supplies: CTMH Avonlea, CS Slate, Garden Green, Chocolate, Vanilla, CTMH Stamps D1285 Life's A Jungle, C1338 For the Boys, CTMH Ink Chocolate, Olive, CTMH Green Assortment Buttons, CTMH Art Philosophy Cricut Cartridge

Happy April

Ahhh Friday!   If you've read my blog before you know I'm a GREAT Fan of Friday!   It's always "almost Friday" and if not "almost" it is.... All Good!   It is also time for Color Dare #37 - JUNIPER!
That's Right,   Let's mix it up a little and use Juniper with any of the neutrals you might have ... or colors as in this case.

I CASED this card from the current CTMH Idea Book, pg 82.   A few changes as I really like to use my embossing folders...if only CTMH would come out with some!   I've liked this card since the first time I saw it so the Juniper Challenge was just perfect.

Be sure to stop by at this week's Color My Heart and play along!

Supplies:   CTMH Paper Perfect Day,  Kraft, Juniper CS,  CTMH Stamp C1503 The Best Things, CTMH Ink Juniper,  CTMH Opaques Pearl,  CTMH butterfly, hemp and tag

Enjoy The Day!

Woohoo! Another new Challenge Blog and this one is for using the CTMH Cricut Artiste ... how fun is that? I can honestly say that I have only used 1 other Cricut cartridge (Pooh Font) since I purchased my CTMH Art Philosophy and Artiste Cartridges. I use both of them often.

This week Rose Blossom Garden Challenge Blog had it's Inaugural Post. I used the sketch from this week's the sweetest thing Sweet Sunday Sketch #181. Very fun!

Supplies: CTMH Chantilly,   Sky CS   CTMH Sky Ink,  CTMH Green Assortment Buttons

April Fool's

haha!  That's how I feel about this card....hmmm.   The busy background was just a little much.  It looked so good in my head ... yup, April Fools!    I do like the flower diecut.  I haven't cut that one before.    The sketch (which is really cute so I'll have to try again) is this week's Freshly Made Sketches #79.  

Supplies:  CTMH Chantilly Paper,  CTMH Stamps Card Chatter,  CTMH Ink Outdoor Denim,  CTMH Cricut Cartridge Art Philosophy,   CTMH Sparkles

LOL!

Happy Sunday!   This week's {PIN}spiration challenge #50 picture was 3 really cute elephants.  I thought that would be great fun to use for some kids cards I need this month and I knew I had a CTMH stamp that would work for this one.   Very fun!   The sketch is this week's MOJO Monday #286.

I hope you had a nice Easter!

Supplies:  CTMH Creative Basics Wings, CTMH Stamps C1360 It's a Zoo, CTMH Ink Twilight, Juniper, Cocoa,  CTMH Sparkles

Saturday Night Fun

Hi Peeps ... Hope you're enjoying your weekend.   It was a busy day here with errands and stuff but it was a nice day out so here in the Midwest we have to take advantage of sunshine moments.  Today my little dog Bella and I headed to the park for a nice walk...well, half jog!   My goodness her little legs go fast.   Maybe if we keep up taking walks I'll be able to keep up with her, haha! 

Sketch is from this week's Inkspirational #13 challenge.   This one is inspired by Bella :)

Supplies:  CTMH For Always, Cranberry CS;  Stamps CTMH A1126 A Bowwow,  Gray/Black Button Assortment, Stickles

Almost Friday

Thursday .... that day when it's "Almost Friday" :)   Haha!  Here's a shout out to my wonderful and fun work team mate Kathryn.   It's always "Almost Friday" in our world ... unless we're happy dancing that it is Friday!   Woohoo!  

I love Friday's even more now that our Color My Heart Color Dare Challenges are on Fridays!  Always something to look forward to.   There were GREAT entries last week,  hop on over and check them out for some great inspiration.   This week,  Challenge #36 is using Outdoor Denim, Blush, Hollyhock and Sunset.   These colors are found in the paper pack Claire (hint, hint) but if you're like me you don't have that paper pack (gasp! I know) it was pretty fun to try to come up with something.  The background paper is from Chantilly.   

The sketch I used this week is from Sketch Frenzy Friday.    

Supplies:  All CTMH - DSP Chantilly,  CS Outdoor Denim, Sunset, Hollyhock;  Stamps C1494 Card Word Puzzle,  D1476 Card Chatter, D1477 Universal Backgrounds;  Ink Hollyhock, Sunset, Outdoor Denim,  Buttons Pink Assortment
