Hello My Crafty Friends,
Today at More Than Favors , It’s Wacky Wednesday Time! I sure do love doing these challenges. Paula sure does keep me on my creative toes. This week her challenge is to create a funny card. Wow! Well I was stumped on this. We all have ideas on what ” we ” think is funny. But your never sure how funny your card will be to recipent. Here is what I came up with.
Recipe for Bike Card:
Cricut Cartridge ” Birthday Bash ” Card Base
Cricut Cartridge ” Groovy Times ” Bike and Bike Base
Recollections Cardstock
DCWV Pattern Cardstock
Recollections Screws and Bolts Brads
Buttons and Ribbon ” Crafters Stash “
Now to me this card is funny. It was really ” How I Rolled ” . I got made fun of when I had to ride to school on my Bannana Seat bike with the streamers. If I remember right, It was a Strawberry Shortcake Bike with the basket up front, Streamers and all. I still wish I had that bike. I would bring it back into style LOL!
I hope you will play along with us this week, and Im looking forward to seeing all of Paula’s entries for the week. To go to her blog you can do so by clicking HERE.
See You all Tomorrow and Happy Funny Crafting 🙂

As my darling BFF mentioned, life has decided I needed a couple more curve balls
(the 967648494947948.08 werent enough apparently)

(crossing fingers, toes and eyes)
However, by the grace of our good Lord above, I managed to find some time this last weekend to lose myself in some scrap time and got a couple pages done with pictures I felt hesitant to work with. I learned two things from it… that I still do know how to and love scrapbooking and… time does heal 🙂
Anyhew, heres three for now, all of my boys… both of which I am uber crazy about.
I have more to post soon so stay tuned 🙂
This first one was a simple challenge I gave myself to get going… I challenged myself to use only stickers on this page. I used Echo Park -“Sweet summertime” and bazzill cardstock. I had to mat the pictures because otherwise they got lost in the blue. Anyhew, quick… rather easy and… DONE! 🙂
My boys last July at the Oregon Coast…
I used all Rusted Sun line for this page… LOVEDUH the surfboard theme… so glad I bought extra of that paper 🙂
And last but not least, my youngest’s birthday party last September…
All of this page was done using Bo Bunny papers (thank you Meriah!) and bazzill cardstock
Usually I do two pagers for birthdays but again, I challenged myself to doing a single page layout…
Thanks for looking 🙂

Welcome Friends,
This week at Cricut Cardz Challenge, Mary asked us to make a card for spring using the colors Pink, Green, and White Only. Spring Colors! Color challenges and I do not get along. But I did have one cartridge that spoke to me. ” Lori’s Garden “. I have not used my Imagine in some time, and I really need to start getting back into the habit of using it more. I was using it all the time for non imagine projects, and felt my expression was getting left out. So now they both get used for there specific talents.
Here is my card this week.
Recipe for Imagine Card:
Cricut Imagine ” Lori’s Garden ” Cartridge
Lori’s Garden Paper printed on Imagine
Rosettes in Bo Bunny ” Holiday Cheer and Holiday Cheer Swirly Whirly ”
Cuttlebug ” Music ” Embossing Folder
Cricut Imagine Stock Image
and Cricut Imagine for Badge.
Cricut Imagine Loris Garden Border
Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Hello Crafty Friends,
It’s another Wacky Wednesday at More Than Favors, And this week Paula has asked us to make anything St. Patricks Day themed. I almost forgot that tomorrow is St. Patricks Day! My poor daughter would have been pinched to death at school. I’m going to make sure she is green from head to toe! I have a little Irish in my background, but most of my family on my dads side hail from Scotland. I’m pretty sure I can still celebrate!
Here is my Card for Wacky Wednesday!
Recipe For St. Patricks Day Card:
Heart Images from Sure Cuts A Lot
Little Yellow Bicycle ” Backyard ” Paper
Recollections Kraft and Cream Cardstock
Ribbon and Button from JoAnn’s or Michaels

Be sure to head on over to More Than Favors, and play along with us!
Don’t forget Friday is Design Team Friday at Pink Cricut. I’m still trying to figure out what I am going to make!
Have a Great Day!
