The Pink Stamper Challenge 3

This is my next entry for The Pink Stamper National Scrapbooking Day Challenge. The rules for this one is something for Breast Cancer Awareness. I went with pink and added a pink ribbon. I try not to put actual breast cancer symbols on my cards as I think if I were going through it, I wouldn't want those images staring me in the face until after I'd beaten it. So I went with ...thinking of you instead. I think it's pretty and pink...too cute!

Recipe:

• Kaisecraft-Hey Birdie collection and pink organza ribbon
• Core'dinations cardstock-french roast
• Stampin' Up Grosgrain cream ribbon and sentiment
• CTMH-cocoa ink
• EK Success Border punch
• Cricut cart-Simply Charmed

The Pink Stamper Challenge #2

I made this card for The Pink Stamper National Scrapbooking Challenge #2. The rules said to use kraft cardstock...I love kraft cardstock...especially with this line of paper. It goes so well...what do you think? I had to make a tree to go with the paper as my image...and then I just had to use one of Robin's Punny sentiments...I love this one! I also had to put a bow in the tree's...hair...it's a girl tree..

Thank you Tina for naming my blog for this award!! I love your blog Two Chics and a Cricut...I'm always inspired by your projects. I'm supposed to say 5 things Cricut-ie about me...well here they are...

1. I love my Cricut Expression 2...I literally can't scrap or card make without it
2. I have almost a sick obsession to own as many carts as I can-she who has the most carts... wins!
3. I rationalize my cart buying by saying...Hey...I've cut one thing off that cart...it's totally worth it now!
4. I secretly watch  My Pink Stamper videos and drool over her E2 and Imagine.
5. I love showing people how to use the Cricut machine and the Gypsy.

Swimming by to say hi!

I made this card for my bro-in-law for Father's Day. He and his wife had a lot of trouble getting pregnant. After a long time of wishing...they got pregnant...and at the age of 50...he is the proud father of my 2 year old nephew Aleksis. He's a perfectly healthy little guy and my bro-in-law couldn't be happier. The rest of the family is also thrilled. Everyday is a celebration with little Aleksis. As a result I try not to miss sending them cards fro Mother's Day and Father's Day. I decided to go punny on this card...gotta love a good pun!

Housework never killed anybody...

I made this card for my gal pal Lori. She is totally one of the busiest people I know. 2 jobs, 3 girls in competetive dancing, runs her camp association, on the ballet board and if that's not enough sews most of the costumes for the dance troop. She's one of those crazy people that can't say no, she's also one of the nicest people I know. She has a Hubby that also works...but she does all the cooking and the cleaning...yikes! That is why I made her this card. She is so busy, that housework just isn't a priority. That's why this sentiment is so funny!
