I'm Back and Sharing!

Good Day Fellow Crafters!

It has been almost a year since I posted and shared on my blog.   Well, I am back and blowing the dust off this page and giving it a new look with some of the projects I've been working on.

Mother's Day Gift 2012

I found the inspiration for this project in the March 2012 Cricut Magazine (on the cover as well as page 106) by Roree Rumph (blog: www.roreerumph.blogspot.com).

Supplies: Wood box, Paint, Floral wire, Floral foam: Michael's Craft Store; Patterned paper: Stampin' Up!; Buttons: Scrapbuck; Sentiment sticker: K&C Company (I THINK); Cricut Cartridge FOREVER YOUNG; Adhesives  
 

I am also re-vamping my facebook page as well.  Please stop on by and give a "LIKE"; www.facebook.com/creationsbyzajc  :D

My Pink Stamper National Scrapbook Day Challenge 4

Challenge 4 came in handy; since I was able to use my creation later on.  The challenge was to make something with a MOTHER'S DAY theme.  :)

The Cricut carts used were: Forever Young and Accent Essentials. 

Used Stickles to embellish dress and standard glitter letter stickers for title. 

I'm the type that still has to decorate the inside of the card.  Used butterfly dimensional stickers for a boarder.  Oh...the card size was 5X7.  I was playing around with Martha Stewart's scoring board and made various size cards and envelopes.  LOVE IT!  :)

Sorry...got side track...back onto the next  challenge...5

My Pink Stamper National Scrapbook Day Challenge 3

So...the 2nd challenge for My Pink Stamper was to make a card or scrapbook page using Kraft cardstock.  I however do not have Kraft cardstock (hear the jaws dropping...LOL) so I moved on to the 3rd challenge. :)

The 3rd challenge was to make card, scrap page, or 3D object using BREAST CANCER for the theme.

I am proud of this card.  It was my first time making a side step card.  This took me a couple of times to get right; but the final outcome ROCKS; in my humble opinion.  ;)

The Cricut cartridges used were Forever Young and Stand & Salute. 

 I re-organized my craft space and sorted cardstock by colors; so I'm not able to share what brand of cardstock I used; however, I do know the designer paper is from a retired set by Stampin Up!

I used Stickles and jeweled sticker dimensional flowers (apologies...don't recall brand) for embellishing.

I also used My Pink Stamper stamp sets. 

So...that's two down and 9 more to go.  :)
