Happy Thursday Crafty Friends!

Just a quick little post today, sorry that I have been a bit M.I.A. lately.  I haven’t had much time for crafting lately since I have been working overtime just about every week this past month.  When I do find a little time, I feel at a loss…. I have seemed to have lost my mojo (GASP!)  I hope that I can recover it real soon because I truly miss crafting!!  Perhaps the best way to get my mojo back is just to dive right in and start creating again.  So with that in mind, that’s pretty much what I am planning on doing this Memorial Day weekend.  Plus, I have so many new goodies that I purchased last weekend when I attended the Scrapbook Expo in Orlando, FL.  I am beyond anxious to start using them!!  Hopefully I can finish up a few new projects during my 3 day weekend so that I can have a chance to post them before the new work week starts again.  I also want to catch up on visiting some of my favorite blogs, I truly have missed all of you :0)

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Friends!!

Hi Crafty Friends :0) 
Sorry that I have been a bit M.I.A. lately, I really have missed all of you!!  I am super happy to be back, it feels like forever since my last post. I was having issues with my Gypsy after doing their most recent update. It wouldn't stay on for more than 30 seconds and it was stuck on the loading screen.  To say that I felt completely lost without my Gypsy girl is an understatement!! Of course, this had to happen late on a Friday evening and I couldn't call Provo Craft till Monday after work...talk about suffering all weekend long!! Anyway, I had to do a complete restore and since I did not have my files backed up I lost them all :0(  I also had to re-link all my carts again and even though I still own them all, I had loaned them out to my cousin. So it has taken me a while to get everything back up and running again. But, I am happy to say that I am back on the crafting wagon and I will be posting my newest project for the Hippity Hoppity Blog Hop this weekend.!!

This will be a 2 Day Hop, so please stop on by and join us for some fun.  There will be lots of great projects and even some yummy blog candy :0)
Craft Hugs,
Diana

Lucky Duck

Good Afternoon Crafty Friends,
Happy St. Patrick's Day!! Today I wanted to share with all of you another card I made for St. Patty's Day and some really fun challenges going on in blogland. I knew right from the start that I wanted to use the sentiment "Lucky Duck" for my card.  That was really my inspiration for making this card. I then started thinking about what cartridges have a duck image.  I came across the Mikey & Friends Cart and I thought this would be perfect!! I just love Disney images and I really LOVE Daisy Duck!!  So that is really how my card came together. I knew that I was going to give this card to my boyfriend so I tried to restrain myself from making it "too girly."  I really loved the way this card turned out.  Not too girly but she still needed to have a little glitter :0) Here are the details for my card.

Cartridges Used
Elegant Edges: (Card base-shadow cut @ 4.40" welded w/Gypsy),(Card Mat @ 4.25"), (Sentiment Base w/shadow @ 1.60")
Mikey & Friends: (Daisy Duck @ 5.25")
Paper Doll Dress Up: (Shamrocks @ 0.75)

Other items used
Solid Cardstock: Card Base - Bazzill Basics "Petty Cash" and Scraps
Patterned Paper: Paper Pizzaz "Green Gingham"
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Swiss Dots
Xyron Machine
Martha Stewart Glitter: Peridot
Martha Stewart Twine: Green
Sentiment: Used my printer

I will be entering this car in the following challenges.

More than Favors - Wacky Wednesday #67 St. Patty's Day

Whimsical Designs - Whimsical Wednesday #45 Going Green

Creative Cutter Room - Design Time Thursday - St. Patrick's Day

Get Well with Chicken Soup

Happy Wednesday Crafty Friends,

 Hope you are all having a fabulous week so far.  Today I would like to share with you all a card I made about 2 weeks ago but had not had a chance to post it. I made this card for my boyfriend who at the time had a terrible flu which turned into bronchitis.  Although he still has a bit of a cough, he is feeling much better and on the road to recovery!  Luckily, I did not get sick as it really makes my asthma so much worse and really complicates things for me.  Anyhow, I wanted to make him a card to cheer him up a bit.  Since we were having soooo much chicken soup at the time, I thought it might be cute to try and make a card with a bowl of chicken soup.  So this is what I came up with, hope you all like it :0)

Cartridges Used

Elegant Edges (Mat w/shadow @ 4.20”) and (Steam @ 6.70; hid the outer shape w/Gypsy)

From my Kitchen (Bowl w/spoon @3.75”)

Paper Dolls for Everyday (Chicken @ 3.60”)

Create a Critter (Noodles @ 2.50”; then cut them in half w/scissor)

Other Items Used

Solid Cardstock: Bazzill Basics “Classic Red” for card base; for the rest I used my scraps which included a gold vellum paper that I used for the broth.

Patterned Paper: My Scraps

Xyron Machine

Deco Art: Diamond Dust

Sentiment: TPC Studio “Everyday Greetings”

American Crafts Pigment Ink: “Brown”

TH Distress Ink: “Tea Dye”

Cuttlebug Embossing Folder: Dots

Prismacolor Pencils (Used on the little chicken)

Gamasol (Used to blend my colored pencils)

Red Buttons: Michael’s Dollar Section

Well, I hope you enjoyed my card and I will be back soon with another card I made for a few fun challenges going on out there in blogland :0)

Crafty Hugs,

Diana

Blog Hop Winners

Hello Crafty Friends,

I am so sorry that I did not post the winners of the 2 blog hops last week as promised.  My boyfriend has had the flu and between  taking care of him, trying not to get sick myself and working late everyday last week.  Well, let’s just say I haven’t had time for much.  The good news is he is getting better and I should be back to crafting  and visiting all of you again on a regular basis very soon.  So without any further delay, here are the winners of the hops.  Sorry for the fuzzy pics :0(

First, the winner of the Baby Blog Hop is…..
