Across the Rainbow Bridge...

Good evening all!


I was spending a wonderful day with the family today and wanted to share a card I made at the request of a dear friend. She has a co-worker that recently lost her 2 furbabies right after another. So I made a Rainbow Bridge card for her. Here is the outside:

Her furbabies were white and grey so I made the kitties these colors. The bridge was cut from the Pagoda Cricut cartridge and the rainbow with the cloud from the Hello Kitty Greetings Cricut cartridge. The sun is from the Don Juan Cricut cartridge. The cats were digital images. I sponged the sun and the bridge and then used my brown marker to give the wood texture. I used my Marvy Liquid Applique to give the cloud dimension. Here is the inside:

I really hope that she likes it. I plan on offering this card on Etsy as well. Our pets are part of our families and the loss is real. I pray that it brings comfort. Well, off for more family time. Until next time......

Hello Kitty Christmas Party

Welcome to the Hello Kitty Hop! It's the day after Thanksgiving and Hello Kitty is out shopping to give all her good friends presents whether it be cat nip or something super special. Hop along with us while Hello Kitty is getting herself ready for the holiday season whether it be decorating the tree, wrapping presents, or just looking dog gone kitty cute! Iif you came from Ashley's blog then you are in the right place but if you happened upon my blog then you need to start at the beginning at Lynne's blog, don't want you missing anything from the party! :)

The main blog candy being offered is Blog Candy will be various Christmas cuts of Hello Kitty along with a Red and Green Stick Pin.....

I am so happy to be in this hop with such talented women who I can also call friends. Lynne recruited me for this hop and I used my least favorite cartridge . Well, I decided to use the card option from Hello Kitty Greetings and, of course, made the snowman! The card was cut at 5 1/2". I wish I knew why this cartridge frustrates me so. I decided to have him sit in front of a Christmas gift bag :)

I knew that I wanted to do a Hello Kitty card for this hop and tried to make a shaped card. Well, I was pulling my hair out and after cutting 3 times (and wasting loads of paper), I decided to follow the directions in the booklet . Here is what I made:

The sentiment is from a Creative Memories pack that I bought at a crop earlier in the year. Everything else was in my paper stash. The mottled paper was from a friend. I have to say that the layer cartridges baffle me but I liked her better in the morning :D Thanks for stopping by and have fun at your next stop; Vickey's blog. Until next time...

You are berry special....

each and every one of you wonderful friends. I wanted to share a card I made for a dear friend that we have known each other since the later '90's. We have been through a lot together and been there for each other through births, deaths and layoffs. I am blessed with several friends like this. When you find one (or several) it is important to let them know you care. I think sometimes life gets in the way of that. Well, enough of my babbling, I am going to show you the card. I am submitting this for a Facebook challenge called Tacky Tuesday. The Stickles was not even dry yet. 

I cut the strawberry from my Hello Kitty Greetings cart and I had a heck of a time with it. The tag was sponged and I like the look of the twine. I bet you all think I forgot to pick winners from my last blog hop but I haven't. Life interfered with that too. But without further delay, the winners from the 2 days of the God's Promises blog hop are as follows:

Day 1 winner is #8...

Double the fun project.....

Evening all!


I had some energy today and, thanks to my Gypsy, I was able to make one project for two blogs :) I have participated in Alex of You Had me at Craft's I Made it Myself Monday blog challenge. I also came across Jenny of Crazy About Cricut's blog challenge too! I am always in awe of everyone's creativity. Here is a little background on this project. 


I have the most amazing parents. They have always been there for me through many trials I have experienced and even now they are here to support me through my current health and work issues. I felt that they needed a thank you from me. For my thank you, I decided to make a pennant that can hang from their mantle. My Cricut Gypsy and Expressions did the die cuts (good ole George and Basic Shapes and Cricut Classic Font were used). I cut the diamond in half and ran it through my Sizzix Big Shot with the D'vine Swirls Cuttlebug Folder. I cut a piece of kitchen sponge and sponged over the embossing with Stampin' Up ink. The flower is cut from the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. I attached the pennants on ribbon from Michael's Arts and Crafts and then used Recollections brads attached with my Cropadile. I have to say that I am pleased with the results. Here they are:

I have already packed it up to mail out to them with some mail. I hope that they like it. I will have another post with a card made at our Stampin' Up monthly club. 


I hope you will join me for the Made it Myself Monday challenges as you have plenty of time to complete it 


Until next time...
