March SOTM Blog Hop

Greetings and Welcome to the RWS blog!
If you came from Jill's Blog then I'm your next stop :)

Today kicks off our Hop using this month's exclusive stamp set Floral Happiness:

 Here is my card that I created (although I wish it would have photographed better!) Inspired by the MOJO Monday Sketch 282 - this week's entry could be round or square, so here's my interpretation:

CTMH Supplies Used: pp Chantilly, ruby and cotton candy pigment inks, pear and white cs, crochet flower, random pear ribbon, bitty sparkles, and stardust glitter glue.
Other supplies: Sizzix Top Note die.

Hope you enjoyed my entry and I'd love to hear your comments if you have time:)

Enjoy the rest of the Hop and I'll see you next month!

I love the "shapes house" my little one came up with playing with the scraps as I worked today and decided it couldn't have been more PERFECT for putting inside my card --  He was very flattered that I took pictures of his artwork! LOL

Thanks for Stoppin' by !

Hi Everyone!  If you have come from Tamra's Blog then I'm your next stop!
Here is this Month's stamp set:

And here is my Anniversary card for my DH that I made with it - He likes simple and rustic so I tried to keep it that way :) 

I used Dakota papers, Slate cs, canvas shapes, gray bakers twine, Kraft color-ready borders, Silver adhesive ribbon, and a bling pearl from the Wrangler Assortment. The shine makes it hard to see, but I colored the silver glitter ribbon with barn red and cocoa markers to tone down the glitter- it gives it a pretty shinner, even thought you cant see it for the flash/glare of photographing it.

Hope you enjoy the card, and the rest of the hop!

Gift Giving with Cricut Art Philosophy

Hi All :) Just a quickie post to show you the special project kits I made with the AP cart and Sonoma papers for my crop next weekend --

 You'd think after crowing for the last 5 months about this cart and playing with it so much that I would be OVER IT !  LOL - I'm still finding new things :))  I just now figured out how to do the little snowflake cutout with the cricut and I recycled a Sizzix package to make the "window"  ---  yes, I know - I keep the strangest things --- I never throw away a perfectly good piece of clear acrylic!

Hard to photograph, but there is a snowflake cutout on both sides of the box!

Wonderland Clear cards

Believe clear cards

LOVE LOVE LOVE !  Hope you have a great weekend and get to craft some too ! I'll be back with another project on Monday :)
