A rather simple, but super cute 4x4 card. This was the first time I made a card this size, and it won't be my last:)<br />

I used my Spectrum Nior color pencils to color the flowers on the image and some Tim Holtz stickles. I added some sequence on the corners of the cards and stamped a Halloween sentiment on the inside of the card. Simple, easy, and cute:)<br />

For my card today, I used the BINGO theme from <a href="http://housemouse-challenge.blogspot.com/2015/09/we-are-playing-bingo-for-house-mouse.html">House Mouse Challenge</a>. I used the line right in the middle (Orange, Yellow, and Green) option. These three colors remind me of fall, and I love fall! The aroma of pumpkin, cooler weather, the holidays, just love what fall brings along. I recently purchased this stamp at <a href="http://scrapbookingmadesimple.com/">Scrapbooking Made Simple</a>, a local scrapbooking store (they also have an online store option) and I really wanted to use it, so I thought this challenge would be a perfect time to do so. <br />

The colorful leaf paper is from the DCWV Amber Autumn card stock stack. I used one of my Nestabilities dies to cut out a piece of orange card stock. The name of the House Mouse stamp that I used, is called "Fence Falling."</div>

The sentiment is from <a href="http://www.my-creative-time.com/">My Creative Time</a>, the cute tiny green, orange, and yellow leaves are from <a href="http://scrapbookingmadesimple.com/simply-defined-bountiful-harvest-collection-autumn-arbor/">Scrapbooking Made Simple's Bountiful Harvest Collection</a>.

I must admit that House Mouse Stamps are my new favorite thing lol. I love to color them with my Spectrum Nior color pencils. I'm no pro, I just go with what feels right and have fun coloring. I used Tim Holtz "Salty Ocean" Distress Marker to water color a sky affect background.</div>

I got into paper crafting for this reason, to make layouts for all my pictures, but as I started exploring other crafting techniques and paper projects I distant myself from scraping layouts. This is why I am excited to share with you all a layout:)lol.<br />

This picture was taken in one of Cancun's theme parks called Xacart. My boyfriend and I went while we were out in Cancun for our friends wedding. This theme park is amazing! Its full of natural beauty and wonder. I truly loved it, and would love to go back. Its a must do on the Cancun visit list.<br />

I used the sketch from <a href="http://sketchabilities.blogspot.com/">Sketchabilities</a> for my layout. I love using sketches, they're inspirational, and make scrapbooking fun for me:)<br />

I used sequence, some recycled net, a prima flower, twine, seashells and starfish cut outs. Some <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/">My Creative Time</a> products, and two white seashells I brought back from the white sandy beaches of Cancun:)<br />

I used Cuttlebug's D'vine Swirl on a strip of paper to give more detail. This cute flower tag is from the Silhouette store. I plan on doing some journaling on it, and tucking it back behind the blue paper so my handwriting won't show lol.<br />

All of the paper I used except the 12x12 for my background, was from my scraps stash, yay! The word Xcaret was cut with my Cricut. I used the Life's a Beach Circuit Cartridge. </div>

I used <a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/forums/topic/peachy-keen-challenge-14-10-colorphoto-inspiration-2/">Peachy Keen's</a> color pallet for the color inspiration with my flowers, barrel, and tag. <br />

<br />
For my card layout, I used <a href="http://cardabilities.blogspot.com/2014/06/sketch-reveal-101.html">Cardabilities</a> card sketch for my inspiration.<br />
<br />
Then I turned to my stamps and Distress markers for inspiration lol.<br />

I cut a <a href="http://www.my-creative-time.com/">tag</a> out of white cardstock, grabbed my new background stamp from <a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/shop/">Peachy Keen</a>, inked it with embossing ink, sprinkled clear embossing powered and heat dried it. Then I took my Dried Marigold Distress ink and inked my tag. I loved the way the clear embossing powder resisted the Distress ink:)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I water colored the flowers and barrel with Distress inks. The cute ducky was colored with Spectrum Nior markers. I added some yellow and cream sequence to the side of my card for some sparkle:) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used a combination of two great products to make my card. <a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/shop/">Peachy Keen </a>and <a href="http://www.my-creative-time.com/">My Creative Time</a>, you can find their products on their online store. </div>

My inspiration for the card came from <a href="http://freshlymadesketches.blogspot.com/2014/06/freshly-made-sketches-140-sketch-by.html">Freshly Made Sketches</a>. The DT created wonderful cards. <a href="http://jenniferbrum.blogspot.ca/">Jennifer Brum's</a> card really caught my eye. Loved the simplicity and elegance her card had, and the glitter strips were a perfect touch:) I decided to create my own glitter strips by using double sided glue tape and glitter, super easy and fun to make:) This card came together so fast. The cute flower was a left over from a previous project, and well the glitter and ribbon I had:)<br />

The store is full of crafting goodies, and trust me I wanted them all:)lol. I had no intention to buy anything that day, I just wanted to go see :)lol. How many of you crafters out there have done that before, visited a crafting store and walked out with bags full of crafting goodies? :)<br />
<br />
Everyone in the store was so helpful, not to mention Stacey the owner gave us a tour of the store, showed us the upcoming make and takes and products, and over all she was truly a sweetheart. The best customer service that I have ever received at a craft store.<br />
<br />
If you're ever in the Santa Clarita area, you must stop by the store, even if its just to say hi to Stacey:) Don't live near the Santa Clarita are, no worries because they have an online store, <a href="http://www.scrapbooking-made-simple.com/servlet/StoreFront">Scrapbooking Made Simple</a>.<br />
<br />
Also make sure to check Stacey and the SMS girls out on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/scrapmadesimple">YouTube</a> :)<br />
<br />
That's all for me today, hope you all have a great day.<br />

I added lots of pop dots to give my card dimension. I don't know if you can see from the picture, but the paper has a very pretty metallic shine to it. The pretty paper rose is from my stash.

The flowers are so easy to make. Just cut them up using the <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Rolled-Flower-Dies-MCT-D10.htm">Rolled Flower Dies</a>, glue them and your done. The purple doily, was cut out using the <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Stitched-Doily-Die-MCT-D25.htm">Doily Die</a>. The Sentiment I used came from <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Mom-You-Rock-Stamp-Set-MCT-003.htm">Mom You Rock Stamp Set</a>.<br />

I found some time to craft this weekend, and made these two beautiful mothers day cards. At first glance they might look identical, but their slightly different lol. I made these Mothers Day cards to give out to my Mom and Mother in-law for Mothers Day.<br />

The paper came from DCWV and also from I think it was a My Minds Eye paper stack (sorry I don't remember the name of the paper). I used lots and lots of <a href="http://www.my-creative-time.com/">My Creative Time</a> products for my card. I love, love, love the dies and stamps that <a href="http://www.my-creative-time.com/">Emma</a> releases. Trust me, you need to get your hands on some of her products to play with:)lol<br />

I cut the <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Stitched-Postage-Frame-Die-MCT-D21.htm">frame</a> out from chipboard and then took some of my brand new Ferro Brenstein-Gold paint. OMG this paint is awesome! The picture doesn't do it justice. Not only is the paint a rich and shinny gold, it also leaves a bit of a granny residue to give it a rustic effect, totally awesome! I got this paint at <a href="http://www.scrapbooking-made-simple.com/servlet/StoreFront">Scrapbooking Made Simple</a>, my new favorite crafting store to go to, I just wished I lived closer to them lol:) </div>

My brother asked me to make him a birthday card for his boss. He asked that the Canadian maple leaf be somewhere on it:) So I jumped on the Silhouette store and found this beauty.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiR0Nych2Ztei6e4qM-n1wT8f6OXtm0cpDt39DvAVRdhrxs7dGcH3mODYxPkctX9-ZYfZWhztQ9yWMkgQUeP9ylZCQ1jkr_evgieWkHUOwt23UnAf4PZVxEy1Jygz4K2ug18aP2PvKykI/s1600/Canadian+Birthday+Card+.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiR0Nych2Ztei6e4qM-n1wT8f6OXtm0cpDt39DvAVRdhrxs7dGcH3mODYxPkctX9-ZYfZWhztQ9yWMkgQUeP9ylZCQ1jkr_evgieWkHUOwt23UnAf4PZVxEy1Jygz4K2ug18aP2PvKykI/s1600/Canadian+Birthday+Card+.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Even though I was short on time, I think this was the fastest card I put together:). I loved how it came out!<br />
<br />
I used the "Happy Birthday" Cuttlebug folder on the maple leaf, to give it a bit more of detail along with some gems to give it some sass. The sentiment on the front of the card is from <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Floral-Sentiments-MCT-071.htm">My Creative Time's Floral Sentiments</a>.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
On the inside of the card I used a smaller maple leaf and added the adorable classy girl silhouette from <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Classy-Girl-Furbaby-Dies-MCT-D55.htm">My Creative Time's Classy Girl Furbaby Die set</a> and <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Classy-Girl-Accessories-MCT-D56.htm">My Creative Time's Classy Girl Accessories</a>. This is the first time I used this set of dies, and I can assure you, it wont be the last. They are so much fun! The inside sentiment came form <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Wow-So-Many-Candles-Stamp-Set-MCT-011.htm">My Creative Time's Wow So Many Candles Stamp Set</a>. I added some sequence to give it some sparkle:)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I had an extra maple leaf so I added it to the back of the envelope to give it a classy look:)<br />
<br />

The tiny bunny inside the card is from "All Around Holiday" stamp and die set, and the sentiment is from the "Color me Happy" stamp set. All the stamps and dies I used today are from <a href="http://www.my-creative-time.com/">Emma's My Creative Time Store</a>. Her line of products are fabulous! Truly a must have:)<br />

I know its been awhile, I apologize for that. Hope everyone is been doing good and staying crafty. I have a 3-D Easter Egg to share with you all today. I am so excited because this was my first time making a 3-D paper project, and the first time I used my Silhouette machine. I think that for being my first time using the silhouette I did pretty good:) <br />
<br />

<br />
I bought the egg shaped container file form a great company called SVG Cuts. The egg shaped container came in the <a href="http://svgcuts.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11&products_id=298">SVG Cuts Popular Street Tulips kit</a>. One of the reasons why I wanted a silhouette machine is to be able to cut SVG's, and well I jumped right at it with this project.<br />

<br />
I got my Peachy Keen stamps out and got to work. Stamped, colored with Nior markers, and cut by hand. Added some Stickels to add some sparkle to the adorable bunny. This bunny is from the <a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/shop/previous-club-kits/pksc-15-march-2013/">March 2013 stamp club of the month kit</a>.<br />
<br />
I used some decorative gems to polish up the paper, and hit the edges of the paper with some walnut color distress ink. I then took some sheer ribbon in pink and purple and wrapped it around the egg.<br />

I woke up my Cricut machine for this one:) lol. Its been so long since I've used this bad boy lol Sorry I can't remember which cartridge I used to cut out the banner, and the letters. </div>
<div>

Not to mention top notch quality:) </div>
<div>
I added some glitter, witch I have had for ever, to the letters to give the banner some sparkle and dazzle. A few store bought sea shells and there you have it ladies and gentlemen, a cute "Under the Sea" theme birthday banner:)lol. </div>

The penguin came from <a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/shop/">Peachy Keen's </a> PK-174 Skatin' by stamp set. I used one of the bows on the PKSC-23 November 2013 stamp set to place it on the penguins hair:)<br />

I used a few of <a href="http://www.my-creative-time.com/">My Creative Time's</a> stamps to make my card. Just Simply Live stamp set for the frame, From our Family to Yours stamp set, Its a magical Season stamp set, and Stitched Square Speech Bubbles Dies. I totally love all of Emma's My Creative Time stamps and dies, they are so easy to use and coordinate so well with each other:)<br />

I colored the penguin with my Spectrum Nior markers, BT4, GB5, BGR3, CR4, BT5. I added some blue and white sequence to my card to represent snow :)lol. The paper is from my stash, Its from DCWV, sorry I don't remember the name. <br />

Isn't it cute! It was simple to make but I loved how it turned out. The image is from <a href="http://www.kennykdownloads.com/">KennyK's </a> and its called "Mistletoe Digital Stamp." I colored her in with my Spectrum Nior markers, and used some puffy white paint to give some dimension to her dress.<br />
<br />
I used <a href="http://www.creativetimeforme.com/">My Creative Time</a> <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Just-Simply-Live-Stamp-Set-MCT-082.htm">Just Simply Live Stamp Set</a> to make the "boyfriend" sentiment.<br />
For the inside of the card I used My Creative Time's <a href="http://shop.my-creative-time.com/Warm-Holiday-Fun-Stamp-Set-MCT-085.htm">Holiday Fun Stamp Set</a>. Just love My Creative Time stamps and how you can combine to use them with other past stamp sets to make something wonderful:)<br />

The small sentiment that is in front of my card that reads "For my handsome" I got that sentiment form <a href="http://www.peachykeenstamps.com/shop/previous-club-kits/pksc-11-november-2012/">Peachy Keen's November 2012 stamp of the month set</a>. I just masked the stamp with some tape to only get the "for my handsome" part.<br />
