Indian Paper Stack

Hello my friends!  Today's post is a beautiful card using some mighty good looking Indian Handmade Paper. Isn't it gorgeous!  It came in a nice 5 x 7 pack with 72 beautiful papers. I was able to fit my card into a few challenges. 
 Fantabulous Cricut  the challenge was to use some sort of bug.  Well I looked through all my cartridges and the only 'bug' I could find were butterflies.  I suppose they are bugs, but that just doesn't seem right.

The next challenge is from Die Cuttin Divas.  There challenge was to use this sketch. My dimensions are a little off, but I wanted to be sure to show the gorgeous paper.

Next challenge from Simon Says Stamp and Show was to use texture on your project.  The gorgeous paper has texture but just to be sure, I ran my back layer through my Big Shot using my D'Vine embossing folder.

Crazy 4 Challenges was to use butterflies..yay!  easy! Then for good measure I also entered my card into a couple of blogs that are having an anything goes week.  The Secret Crafter, and Catch the Bug Blog

That's it for now..time to stop typing and start creating my next project.

Thanks for stopping in :-)

Puppy Thanks

 I created today's card as a thank-you to Liyah's Doctor and her staff.  They have been incredibly sweet and I would highly recommend their office to anyone in the Clermont Florida area. If you are not up to date on what happened to our dog, click here for our dreadful Pet Smart experience.

 To create the puppy, I used my Gypsy and Expression along with the cart called Ultimate Creative Series Sampler.  This is a major cart since it comes with 6 overlays! I personalized the pup by adding the pink bandages.  cuteness.

Here's a happier looking Liyah now that they end is drawing near for to finally stop visiting the Vets every week for a new bandage.  She went today, and will have x-rays done next week to see how her toe is healing.  Please cross your fingers (and toes) that everything is healing correctly.

Hello Kitty Get Well

Today's post highlights another one of those Cricut cartridges that I just had to have. Hello Kitty Greetings. Now what do I do with it!  The opportunity came up with Challenge me Monday on the blog Fantabulous Cricut.   This weeks challenge was to use some kind of cat using your Cricut.  Yay!  Plus my poor baby girl has been sick all night and day.  I'm thinking she can use a bit of a pick me up and I know this will put a smile on her face.  I used the Cricut Design Studio to create the card.  I think I need a bit more practice using it since the cuts didn't line up quite right.  I have a Gypsy that I wanted to use to create the card, but sadly I had linked my cartridge to my friend's Gypsy (yes you Kellee) before I had even considered getting one.  Or maybe I should just bite the bullet and use The Cricut Craft Room.  I'm just not liking the idea of  not being able to use my own cuts.

For those of you who were concerned about my pup and her 'Don't go to Pet Smart!' broken toe.  She had her bandage changed yesterday and is doing a lot better. Here she is playing with her favorite toy.
