Guitar birthday

Here's a quick post with a birthday card I had made for my daughter's friend.  She loves music and plays the piano and guitar.  I've made piano cards, so thought I'd try my hand at a guitar.  Of course, I had to use an Action Wobble! :)

Action Wobbles are so fun!!!

Supplies...
~Guitar from Quarter Note
~all DP from my scraps
~heart brads from J's
~MS border punch
~white gel pen

Challenges...
Fantabulous Cricut #176 - "name that tune" (musical theme)
Paper Playtime #18 - use 3 different papers (polka dot, pink floral, silver)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!!  I'll be back in a bit with a new release from McMahon Five Designs! :)

Mother's Day cards... The End

Warning... this post is very pic heavy!

Here is my 6th (and last!) post of the Mother's Day cards I made.  (And the decorations etc for the Mother/Daughter luncheon are below)  This morning the kids in junior church were so happy to make a card for their mother!  They were just as excited to add the Hershey bar to it!  :)

Here they are...

Quick and easy with a pre-made card

~K&Co paper for all
~the infamous Stampendous stamp (I told you that was the only one I had)
~Flora Doodles  ( I got them in several colors and they are great!)

I spent a lot of time during the last 2 weeks preparing for our Mother/Daughter Luncheon.  Some time spent VERY frustrated!!  I cut the letters for the banners from light pink several times and had to throw them away!  They would not cut cleanly!  [it was HL cardstock... but the dark was the same kind and it cut out well.  ???] Then I remembered that I had some Cricut 12x24 cardstock.  The color was just a little different, but the letters cut like butter!!!

I needed almost 50 of each

Forgot to take a pic of the program.  It had music in the background in pink (digi stamp) and the info in black.  They looked very vintage with all the spots my printer left on them!!

Thanks for stopping by!!  Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers!!

Everyone can't be a Princess...

I love working with vinyl!  Sayings on tiles are so fun to make, there is vinyl in almost every room in my house, and I've used it as stencils for etching.   I made a tile the other day and decided to make another today. 

I have a file where I keep a list of quotes that I might want to use on tiles or for wall vinyl for a craft sale.  This saying is cute, though if someone actually thinks this, I'm not sure I want to be around them!! 

Challenge...

BBTB2 - use the word "princess"

~"not everyone..." Ashlynn's Alphabet
~"Princess" Storybook
~"someone,,," Plantin Schoolbook
~crown PDDU
~rose Quarter Note
~8x12" tile
~outdoor vinyl

"Just a Note" card

This evening, I needed to get in my craft room and make something.  In some ways it seems like a lot longer than 3 weeks ago that Hurricane Irene came through our valley and left destruction in her wake.   Towns all long the Schoharie Creek were devastated!  Many homes and businesses destroyed.   It will be a long time before life is back to 'normal' here. 

I have felt like I should not do something as 'unimportant' as crafting while others have lost so much.  But this week, a friend asked me and some others if we could share some of our supplies.  She was being shown a destroyed home.  As the lady was showing her house, she burst into tears when she opened the door to her craft room.  It seems so little, but I pray it helps her even just a little to receive the things we shared. 

I know that note cards can mean so much so that's what I made tonight.   Looking for inspiration, I checked the usual challenges I do and chose a couple for this.  I followed the Tuesday Morning Sketch, but once I was done, I realized I had missed the deadline by 8 min!!  :(   So I will only put this in Fantabulous Cricut's Challenge #77... instrument or musical notes

~Quarter Note for the note and swirl on outside
~DCWV Performance stack paper
~chalked edges
~CM note die cut on inside

Thanks for looking!!!

our beautiful piano will never play again

But God is good!  He's provided a place for us to worship and though our building was destroyed, our church is alive and well!!
