Enjoy The Puddles!

Yesterday I was shopping in Hobby Lobby and found this cute figurine to sit on my desk in my craft room. I love the sentiment written on it.

"Every Path Has It's Puddles So I Wear Cute Rain Boots"

I was inspired to make a card that is dedicated to my new figurine.

Here it is! I had to put Hello Kitty on there. She always makes me smile!

Life has it's ups and downs but sometimes we have to handle the "puddles" of difficulties with a little laughter. I will have to save this one and give it to someone who needs a little encouragement.

I finally cut my own chipboard letters for this one with my Cricut. I glittered them up to add some extra shine. Sometimes when you cut chipboard the edges will be a bit rough. To smooth out the edges and give your letters more dimension you should sand the edges. I used a sanding block on mine.

Hello Kitty cut with my Cricut using Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge

Flower in Hello Kitty's hair cut with my Cricut using Forever Young cartridge

The Paper Studio printed paper

Autumn Leaves - rain boot

EK Success flower stickers

Bazzill cardstock

Challenge Fun!

I am having so much fun creating and decided to enter some of my work into different craft challenges this week. I'm also diving into card making. I've been inspired by so many talented card makers out there and their beautiful work. So here goes............here's my Springtime card creation.

I entered this card in the:
♥ Cricut Cardz Challenge #19 - Anything goes!
♥  Little Red Wagon Challenge #22 - Rolling into Spring!
♥  Crafty Creations Challenge #61 - Anything goes!
♥ Fab "n" Funky Challenge #17 - Spring
♥ Charisma Card Challenge #13 - Animal Magic

I used cardstock to make the card stand up tall and proud!  I then used some beautiful paper from TPC Studios. It's from their Woodland Whimsy collection.  It has a couple of cute birds and clouds already printed on the paper.

I then used the Straight from the Nest and Songbird Cricut cartridges to cut out the "spring" letters, one of the flowers, and the cute pink bird. To add a little sparkle to the card, I used purple, pink and blue jewels on the bird's eyes and in the center of the flower petals.

I love the yellow, pink, and blue on the card. It reminds me of Spring. I made an extra card for my blog readers. COMMENT BELOW  if you'd like to win one of these cute cards. In your comment please tell me what you like about Springtime. The winner will be selected next Wednesday!  Happy Spring!
