Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday Challenge!

Hi Everyone!!

I know I haven't been too present here, I've started working part time again at Doodlebug Sportz, and with my two days at Horse Head Quarters I've been busy. busy. busy. with minimal time for crafting!!

Anywhoo, it's been a while... a L-O-N-G while since I did any challenges... but here is one I saw today while I was browsing over at Lauren's Creative, where she is a design team member for Scrappy Moms Stamps. Her project is adorable, and I'm really loving the baker's twine. I found some on Etsy for only $3.25 for 100 yards, which I'm not sure if that is a good deal, but it sure sounds like it (without looking into it any further).

::Onto the Challenge::

The challenge is to use Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge, or something similar... I don't have Sweethearts, but I do have Wedding Solutions; so I've used it.

The base of the card textured yellow cardstock from the Mi Casa Stack by DCWV. Size is 10X5.5, scored at 3"& 7" and folded inwards.

The Just Married Car is cut at 2.65" from the Wedding Solutions Cartridge. The shadow is the same yellow as the base, with a white blackout layer and a black top layer. I used a metallic silver for the cans.

I've used my new Imagine to print the gingham background from Imagine More. I printed it as a full page and cut it to what I needed for lining the fronts and inside of this card.

The stamp on the inside is from Studio G, from Michael's in the $1 bin.

I've used a black, felt tip marker for the dotting around the card.

So, shhhhhhhh because I know of a couple getting married in the next few months, and vintage cute is totally her style, and even if the colors are off completely, this card will probably go to them.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Cheers!

Imagine Time!

First off, I needed to share this adorable photo of Zoe, being cute. :-) I hope it makes you smile!

Onto the real topic!


Being at work 5-7 hours a day is really a big change for me. I've been staying home for the last 2 years or so (just short of it) and a few months ago was offered a job by my Dad, who was always the best boss I've ever had. He offered me basically as many hours as I could get (up to official part time) bringing Zoe with me and selling his Harley Davidson stuff online. He is quite the entreprenuer; this is his second business! So, he started his ebay business and had me running it.

Then, he needed some help with the accounting department at Doodlebug Sportz; his labor of love. So, I started helping there. I've transitioned to being the Office Manager for his company with a side of Harley Davidson. :-) It's a nice thing to have; and I'm greatful that I get to bring Z with me everyday. Today though, was a long one for me. I got there about 11, with plans of staying until 6:40pm or so to head to my Mothers and More meeting. I am the membership coordinator for our chapter; and we had a board meeting at 7pm.

Well come about 5, I made the decision that my mental state was too important for me to have so much going on today, and I got rolling with what I was doing; and was home by 6:45 or 7 to find out that my Imagine had shown up!

I don't want to make it seem like my Expressions has gotten bumped down on the food chain just yet; because obviously I'm still learning my Imagine, but here is the Provo Craft Lineup in my house:

Cheers!
