Aqua is the Color of the Day
I made a couple of cards for some challenges today and they are both aqua! I guess I'm just in the mood to use aqua? 
I used lots of Stickles on this for some extra special sparkle. The inside is simple, I just cut four slots to slide a gift card into (some luck person is going to get my Kroger Plus card!! he he, I crack myself up)
The first card is for the BBTB challenge. This weeks challenge is to use the gift from the Pooh and friends cartridge. I used my Cricut Design Studio to weld two gifts together to make a gift card holder.

This next vision in blue is a multi-tasker. I made it for the Card Sketch Challenge over at From C to Shining C. Eileen hosted the challenge today, if you'd like to see the sketch and take a peek at her version just click her name (it will take you to her blog).
I'm so excited that the NEW Cuttlebug embossing folders came in today!! I used the Pop Culture embossing border on this one (the diamonds across the top) They are already listed in my store so go get you some!
Don't you just love those little dangling pom poms? I've been dying to use them they are Fancy Pants. The flower is a Prima and I used a water color dew drop for the center. The papers (except the vellum) are all DCWV. It's kinda hard to tell but the background is from the Glitter Stack. The sentiment is an American Crafts rub-on and it leave this card open to all sorts of giving possibilities.
My Little Pony Card
I made this card for my friend's daughter. I don't know if she's a fan of My Little Pony, but most little girls like them and it just made for a cute card.
I got the svg file from a blog, but I can't seem to find the link, sorry (I'll look for it later, I know she's a member of the Cricut MB)
I used DCWV Sweet Stack for the card (I've been using it a lot lately) I cut out the words with my Cricut and SCAL then I added glossy accents to give them some depth and shine. I also added Stickles to the pony cut because you can never have enough glitter :)

Chocolate Cupcakes
This page is the result of a new stack of paper and two messy little girls who happen to love chocolate (who doesn't?) Clicking on the photo will make it larger.
When I get a new pack of paper I'm just dying to make something with it and the DCWV Sweet stack has all those yummy papers in it. I remembered that I had a couple of pictures of the girls enjoying some chocolate cupcakes early this summer (I actually took the picture to show Nana how much of a mess they made with her cupcakes!)
Cupcakes were quite a big thing in crafting this year, so I had plenty to work with.
The background paper and the photo mats are from the DCWV Sweet Stack, I punched the bottom of the mats with my MS doily punch. The adorable cupcake was cut on my Cricut with the Home Decor Solutions cartridge. I cut out the the journaling square with my George cartridge and then embossed it with my Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder and layered some vellum on top. I embellished the vellum with some paper floss, a button, and some Studio G stamps.
The title letters were cut on my Cricut with the Mickey Font cartridge in regular and shadow and then layered, then I added glossy accents to make them all thick and shiny (kinda looks like the Thickers stickers)
If you'd like to win a Cricut cartridge visit my design team blog Your Memories Here Designs, all you have to do is become a follower, if we reach 200 followers by Midnight tonight, I'll give away a Cricut cartridge. So spread the word!

Card Sketch Challenge #20
Here's my card for the From C to Shining C challenge. My dear friend Stephanie was the hostess this week, if you'd like to see what she came up with and her original sketch click on her name.
For this card I used purple card stock for the base, added DCWV Fall stack patterned paper. The ribbon is from Hobbly Lobby and the sentiment (Happy Halloween) is a studio G stamped with Staz-on jet black. The candy stamp is from Imaginisce and it's called Hallowhimsy Candy, I stamped it with Momento tuxedo black and colored it in with my Sharpies. If you like that candy stamp you can get it in my store http://www.yourmemorieshere.com/ or you can visit my design team blog for a chance to win it.

Happy Birthday Mom!
Today is my Mom's birthday, her card is already in the mail and hopefully she'll get it on time today!
I've been so busy lately with the Design Team blog and Marlee's going back to school, the Grand Re-Opening sale at www.YourMemoriesHere.com, a ton of birthdays coming up in September (including Marlee and Lilee's which means party planning) I just haven't had much time to post. I have been working on some layouts and I did make a couple of teacher gifts that I hope to get posted soon. I couldn't let the day go by without posting a Happy Birthday to my Mom, no matter how busy I get.
