SSINK's Product Focus: "Cherry on Top Suite" Challenge



Join us at the SSINK challenge, focusing on Cherry on Top Suite products from the new catalog. I love the bright cheery patterns in DSP and the washi -- and the new In-colors match perfectly! I used the new color set of markers on the "You've Got This" stamp set. 


I also added matching embellishments from the 2015-2017 In-Color Blossom Accents.

SSINK and Washi Love Challenge


SSINK has a great washi challenge going on here. Come join in! I used this past month's Paper Pumpkin Kit with the new "Cherry On Top" Designer Washi Tape. I love how both are perfectly coordinated! I used the washi on the flip side of the precut paper pumpkin card border and added some bling with sequin ribbon.

Welcome to the "Fantabulous Cricut Favorite Character Blog Hop
and the introduction of our new Design team members.


We will have prizes (blog candy) on some of the blogs along the way. You will have until June 2nd to leave a comment 12 midnight EST. We will announce the winners on each of our blogs on June 7. You will need to check back to see if you have won.

A character can be -- a number, a letter, a persons personality, etc., so I am showcasing what what my interpretation of a what a character is.

You should have arrived here from Sara's blog at  http://Pypercreations.blogspot.ca. If not and you want to start at the beginning go to http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/Fantabulous Cricut Challenge.com

I am new to the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog, and so far I love it!! I have had a cricut in my life for a little over 7 years now. It has transformed the way I create, all in a good way. 
I am married to a wonderful man, who is a firefighter. With his schedule the way it is, it leaves lots of crafting time for me. We have a 10 year old son who is the light of my life. Lots and lots of rescued animals have found their way to our home and hearts`here also. We are a truly blessed home. 
Here is my inspiration for you:



Mickey Mouse is  my most favorite character of all time, and one of my most used Cricut Cartridges. The Mickey and Friends cartridge has so many wonderful images on it. A truly fun cartridge!!


Now that you have seen my character go see Kristina at http://lllscrap.blogspot.com/ and check out her amzing creativity.
Happy Hopping!!


Thank you for hopping with us, We hope we have inspired you and you will come back next week to enter our Challenge!

{Happy Birthday Wishes}






This is my first card for FCCB Group. I loved the sketch, so much to work with. I'm all about the bright fun colors on birthdays, how can you go wrong :)
I used Summer Celebrations Cricut Cartridge for the cake on this card. Reminds me of a Dr. Seuss cake, fun and glittery.

A SSINK Sketch Challenge


Well, for SSINK's sketch challenge, I combined a Layout Sketch and Project Life photo pockets. Here is the sketch:




I used SU Project Life cards from the Everyday Adventure Collection, a flower from the Bouquet kit, and some matching Moonlight DSP....I LOVE how all of the patterned papers match -- and even my flower ink matches the PL card text color perfectly! I used my cricut for the sun and stars.

I still want to tweak this a bit, but for now, at least I have my favorite pictures of my son when he was little with bright cheery colors. He is always my sunshine.
