Luv Bug Bit me!

Hey all,

V-Day is just around the corner.  There are so many cute scrapbook papers around that it is too hard to choose which ones to buy...so I guess I have to buy them all!  True story though; I could open my own Michaels! 

I made two cute cards that I am sharing today. 

Ahhh...love is in the air!  Smile!

I just love teddies!  I hope you enjoyed.  Until next time!

Wow!  It's been two years since I blogged last!  I promised myself this year I will do better!  A resolution of sorts!  You will see!

I spent the holidays in Arizona.  What a beautiful place that was.  The scenery was awe-inspiring!  The air was so fresh and clean.  I'm a New York City gal though...wouldn't trade it for the world. 

Being in the South West lassoed in my creative juices.  Visiting the sites that I saw made me think of how it may of been way back in the day with the early settlers covered wagons and Native Americans.  If you have a chance you need to go!  Beautiful!

My visit inspired two cards that I just had to make.  The first uses Elizabeth Craft Designs Cheepers the Chicken die.   The Props 6 cowboy hat and boots makes the chicken just so cute!  Loving these dies from Elizabeth Craft Designs!  Here is the link to her store and blog just in case you are interested http://www.elizabethcraftdesigns.com/.  Cute stuff!  You will be hooked like I am!  Smile!

This second card is in the same vein with the southwestern feel.  It uses the Cottage Cutz Carousel Horse.  A really cute die! 

Yee Haw!  I hope you enjoyed my cards as much as I enjoyed making them.  Until next time!

Yeah Yeah...It's been a minute!

Hey all.  Loooonnnngggg time no hear. I have been busy making my cards but not taking the time to update this blog.  I do update my 2 Peas and Pinterest galleries so if you ever come by to check out my work feel free to check those places as well.  (Just hit the tabs above to go to the sites.)

Anyway I have discovered Dienamics!  Dienamics is a die and stamp mailorder site that I have fallen in love with.  After receiving my first orders I found that I didn't have enough time in the day to do what I wanted to do!

So today I'm sharing a card or two that I have made with my new dies...

 

I just love the tee shirt and notepad dies!  Many more cards coming too with my new dies I have purchased.  Again...check out 2 peas and Pinterest for more. 

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your day!

Valentine's Day

Hey all!  I do hope that each and everyone of you are doing fine. 

It's February already!   Can't believe it.  It's almost Valentine's day and I'm feeling love in the air.  Made some cute cards to celebrate.  Hope you like them.  Here goes:

 

Don't you feel the love?  I hope you do.  Have a Happy Valentine's DAy and see you soon!

Happy 2013!

Happy New Year!  I can't believe another year came and went so quickly!  Well here's hoping that you have a year of love, peace and creativity!

Speaking of creativity, I have begun my Valentine's cards.  It may be early but Valentine's Day will be here before you know it and I like to have enough to share with friends and family.  Check out these three...

I just love the little love bugs!  Hope you like them too! 

Thanks for dropping by.  Until next time...

It's Christmas!

Time does fly!  I can't believe that it's Christmas time again.  This has been a great year for me and I am hoping bigger and better things are in store for us all in 2013!

I went cardmaking crazy this season and gave out cards to coworkers and friends.  So here are a few of the cards that I made...you can always check out my Two Peas in a Bucket gallery for more of my creations.

Told ya I've been busy!

Hey again!  Long time no see!  Smile!  I just want to share a few more of my newbies before I begin my workday.

 

 

Oops...a few is three!  Ha!  Like I said I have been busy!  And there is more where those came from!  Got to go to work.  See you soon!

 

 

My First Xmas Cards of the Season

Good morning!  It's been over a month but I have been busy.  Lots going on but I still find time to make a card or two. 

I'm sharing my first Christmas cards for this season.  I know it's early but time does fly!

 

These are the first Christmas cards of many to come!    Stop by again soon!

Angry Birds

Angry Birds.  It's all the rage now.  I even have an app for the game on my cell phone.  Kind of a fun game. Ever since I was first introduced to the game I had wanted to make a greeting card for kids or adults who love the game.

I ran across a tutorial on the Pajama Crafters site (January 2012) on how to make the Red and Yellow bird using your Cricut.  I used the Cricut Craft Room and modified some of the instructions and here is what I came up with.

I was even inspired to make one of the new additions to the Angry Bird family, Pink Bird.  Its a first attempt but I think she came out cute anyway...

 

 

So if you are a paper crafter and like these little characters check out the Pajama Crafters blog.   See ya soon!

Fun Cards!

Yep, I have been away for a while.  I have been furiously preparing for an upcoming festival where I have a booth to sell my cards.  I have made over 300 cards to sell for that day.  The event is tomorrow so wish me luck!

I have made all sorts of cards but I am sharing today some really cute and fun cards I made to sell. 

Aren't they cute?  And I amazed myself because as I had mentioned some time ago that I like flowers and butterflies and bling.  But I can do other types of cards as well.

Thanks for checking in.  See you soon.
