In Bloom Flower Pot Card!!

Good morning friends!!
I had some sick kiddos home this week with strep throat and it was the first time that either of them had it! They were both just miserable! So, we did a lot of scrapping together and crafting and painting!!!

I needed something fresh to create, so I jumped over to splitcoaststampers.com for some much needed inspiration! There, I found directions for this adorable flower pot card with a tag that pulls out! I made the flowers using Echo Park Little Girl collection papers and the April Showers cricut cartridge! I also entered this into the cricut circle weekly challenge, where we had to create some flowers using our cricut!

I love how this card turned out and it was super simple! The border on the lip of the pot is the starburst MS punch from HSN! I think I will make a bunch of these for Mother's Day cards and to have some on hand maybe for the teachers or just a thank you! If you would like to try your hand at these adorable flower pot cards jump on over HERE to find out how to make them!!!

Have a wonderful Spring day!!

Rain Rain Go Away.....

It is an aweful rainy, dark, windy and chilly day here in New York! I received a package from Fed Ex this afternoon with all of my cricut plushies and new cartridges.....so instead of doing housework, I got to play! I mean I really had to play, I couldn't just look at them! So, with the April Showers cartridge I created this card...............

Paper: Sei Chick-a-dee collection "tiny bubbles"

umbrella: 3"
rain boots: 2"
cloud (for puddle): 2.5"
squirrel: 2.25 "
worm: 1.75 "
sentiment: 1.75"
other: foam dots, brown ink, glossy accents, white gel pen
I added glossy accents to some of the dots on the paper to look like rain and around the cloud that I used for the puddle to add some shine for a water effect! I also added some white dots just for fun!! I love how quick this card was for me....a half hour from start to finish!

I think I will enter this into the FCCB challenge this week....the challenge is to use an umbrella, so I think this fits the bill!

In the box were also our cricut friends....I got a big one for me and two little fellows for my kiddos. Here is my daughter holding all three cricut friends....she already had a barrette in her cricut's hair and I overheard her talking to it...too cute!!!! That's all for tonight! Have a good one! ~Jeannine
