Just in TIME:)

Hello, friends:}


I have a quick post for you tonight! I am super excited that I found some time to play along with a challenge tonight--Random Fun Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. Cath has asked us to create a project with buttons, alcohol beverages, or mustaches. Of course I was going to be inspired by the mustaches!!! 


I used my new Lost & Found Two Breeze papers by My Mind's Eye {available at the Pumpkin Spice shop}. LOVE that patterned paper! I also used some images from my Paper Smooches Chubby Chum Pals set. I love those face images--and it was perfect that there were three with glasses but one missing a nose/mustache!! The sentiment is from my PS Word Salad stamp set.  LOVE that twine--adds the right amount of texture {available at The Ribbon Carousel}. LOVE LOVE LOVE this card!!! **I also love those alphas--yep! I used more Scratch 'n Sniff letters!! LOVE!

And before I forget...here is a smiley face with a mustache: 

:{) 

TOOOO funny!!! Do you see the mustache??? LOVE!


That's it for me today! I will be back later this week...or maybe sooner if I can find some time to get crafty!


Thanks so much for stopping by! Many blessings!!

I finally decided to use my newest Crate Paper Portrait collection pad. LOOOOOOOVE these colors and paper designs! I used a simple design to make a Mother's Day card. The sentiment is from Paper Smooches {Word Salad}. LOVE that tag--I used my Cricut to make a tag and then traced it over the calendar paper (in the Portrait collection) so it would be just the month of May, for Mother's Day!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE! I also made that brad using my Crate Paper paper--so gorgeous!! This is def. one of my FAV cards ever!!!

Echo Park & Pumpkin Spice:)

Hello, friends:}

I'm back with more crafty goodness!! This time I am sharing what I made using some Echo Park papers {available at the Pumpkin Spice store}. If you have not been to the Pumpkin Spice shop--you need to head over there NOW!! They have amazing products and GREAT prices!!! **I also love how friendly they are--plus they have super quick shipping! I ordered and within a couple of days the package was waiting for me on my doorstep! LOVE it!!! 


I just love this card! I love those papers {Echo Park Winter Park collection}. I also love those little snowmen {Paper Smooches Swanky Snowdudes}. I cut various paper strips and adhered them to the card base. Then I die cut a label and stamped the sentiment. I added some Oyster and Blueberry twine {available at The Ribbon Carousel} as an extra embellie. LOVE how it turned out:) I'm also entering this in the Pumpkin Spice Echo Park challenge. 

That's it for me today! I have another creation that I made using papers from the Pumpkin Spice shop!!! I will be sharing it tomorrow! Can't wait--it's SUPER cute!!

RCC32 Peppermint Twist with Wendy

Hello, friends:} 

It's time for another Ribbon Carousel Challenge--this week, Wendy Ramlakhan is challenging us to use the following photos from Pinterest as inspiration for this week’s creations. They are gorgeous and evoke LOTS of different feelings so get inspired and show us what you've got!

This week’s challenge is being sponsored by our favorite ribbon company in the whole world, MAY ARTS!!

One lucky random entrant will win their choice of 2 rolls of May Arts ribbon! Now that’s a GREAT prize!

And for the first time, we will be teaming up with our sponsor, May Arts, ALL WEEK with giveaways on Facebook, so become a FAN of May Arts and Ribbon Carousel to get in on the action!

For my creation...I was inspired by the candy, red and white, and Christmas theme. I used my FOLKal Points gingerman stamp {Paper Smooches} for the "candy". **I figured that candy and cookies were closely related! I also used a sentiment from Paper Smooches Swanky Snowdudes. The papers are from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two {Rosy}. The ribbon is my FAV---I love this 3/4" V Striped black twill ribbon {available HERE at the Ribbon Carousel}. LOVE LOVE LOVE!! I did distress the ribbon-- it was too white for my card theme!  LOVE how this turned out:) Trav says that this card is magazine cover worthy! LOL! 

The RCC team would love for you to join in the fun this week! Here are the details:

• Make your NEW creation following the ribbon carousel challenge (sketch, inspiration, style or color) image. Be sure to include some type of ribbon, twine, hemp, lace....basically, anything that comes on a spool.
• Your creation can be ANYTHING from cards, quilts, sewn items, paper crafts, paintings! ***Be sure to have ribbon, bakers twine, jute twine, lace, thread (basically anything that comes on a spool) on your creation! And be sure to follow the RCC challenge theme!
• Load your creation up onto your blog or a public viewing forum like SplitcoastStampers, (use the keyword RCC30) with a direct link back to The RCC blog post. Including the challenge graphic isn't a requirement, but sure is appreciated! A participant of our very first challenge didn't link back or mention our challenge and couldn't be named Top Spool, so don't let that happen to you!
• Come back to The RCC blog post and link in your creation using the Inlinkz button at the bottom of this post. Your image may take a little while to pop up but don't worry it will appear shortly.
• Be sure to come back the Friday after the challenge ends to see if YOU are a Top Spool! :D

This Challenge will end on Dec. 12th at 11:59pm EST.

I really hope you will play along! Please stop by the RCC blog for more details, more projects from the RCC DT, and to link up your creation! Also, please head over to The Ribbon Carousel website and check out their products!!!
