Design Team ~ Baseball

Today is my day to post over at Connie Can Crop

This has been such a hectic month for me! I was hoping to get something posted to go along with Connie's theme, but unfortunatly I didn't. I am showing you my new favorite baseball shirt I made though! Both of my boys made it to the playoffs, and then advanced to TOC (tournament of champions). My middle son sadly was knocked out of tournament Tuesday night, but my youngest is still going strong!!! We have games every. single. night. It gets to be a lot sometimes but I love watching them! I made this shirt the beginning of the month to wear to their games! 


I designed this myself in Cricut Design Space.
 Used gray, white and red glittle HTV and just love how it came out! 

Thanks for stopping by!

I started off with a shaker card for my project today but while my boys and I were enjoying dinner last night, my dopey puppy Nova decided to eat it a bit (she really loves glitter!) Here is a small picture of it so you can see some of it...


So, after dinner, and after I made a great new shirt to wear to baseball today, I made a new one! I couldn't make another shaker as she also ate my foam tape! UGH! 

But, all is well, because I really do love the new one I made! 



I used a kraft cardstock base and added that fun, colorful paper to the front. I used my explore to write out my sentiment using a pilot precise pen (love not having to rely on cricut pens! I don't have many colors!). I ink the edges using Crystal Blue from close to my heart. The graduation cap is from Miss Kate Cuttables and was her freebie for Friday. I attached it using some pop dots for a little dimension. 


 Up next is Alicia
She always has something amazing to share! 

Here's our line up in case you get lost.

Happy Birthday

It's gotta be someone's birthday right?! HAHA! 

I am trying to straighten out my pictures on my computer and have come across some cards I've made recently but haven't posted. So, I will be slowly getting them on here! 

This card was an impromptu card my son asked for around 11pm! I used all scraps for it, and I was pretty pleased with the outcome!

I used Cutting Cafe's spring shaped card for my base. I added bee's to it (from Martha Stewart!) and the fabric flower and butterfly I had in my stash. The picket sign and sentiment are from Jaded Blossom. I found the cute piece of grass on a cricut cartridge (sorry! I don't remember which one!)


 Up next is worker bee Janet!!

Design Team ~ Bees Knees

Today is my day to post over at Connie Can Crop

To continue along with this months sponsor and challenge theme, I created another Bee card! 





I used another card base from The Cutting Cafe called Card Fold w/circle Window. Super easy card base to cut! I found these cute little bees from Kate's ABC cartridge . The sprinkles and sentiment are both from Jaded Blossom. I plan on giving this card to my mom for Mother's Day, since we always call her the queen bee! (I seem to be taking that title from her though LOL!)
