Birthday Centerpiece and PSA Essentials Day 3!

Hi Everybody!
First let me thank everybody who wished me a Happy Birthday yesterday!!  It was so amazing to have so many thoughtful friends :oD  Ok, now onto the project!  I was so excited when my friend Kassidy over at Inking It Up Crazy asked me to be a guest designer and help her celebrate birthday week on her blog.  For today Kassidy asked me to make some birthday home decor.  I decided to make a centerpiece.  Here's how it turned out:

• Smiley cartridge
• Life's a Party cartridge
• Post-it Craft paper
• PSA Essentials personalized stamp
• Peachy Keen Stamps = Happy New Year assortment, Basic Everyday faces assortment
• wrapping paper for the base
  

*I would like to make something like this to sell at a craft fair, so I LOVE that I have my PSA Essentials personalized stamp to put on the back of all my projects to let people know who made it, and where they can get more!!

That's my project!  Don't forget to go check out Inking It Up Crazy and see more inspiration for birthday home decor today!  And all week long Kassidy will have birthday inspiration for you :o)  And remember to see the challenge I started on my birthday for the Cricut Everyday cartridge HERE.  Thanks, and hope everyone has a chance to craft today!!

TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY!!!! Exclusive Cart Challenge Starts!! Plus, PSA Essentials Day 2!

Hi Everybody! 
Ok, I know that's the longest post title ever, but there's a lot to announce!  Before you keep reading, please look over to the right and press PLAY on my playlist so you can listen to some of my favorite songs while you read!!  And now........

HAAAAAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEEEEEEEE!  Lol, can you tell I'm excited for my birthday?  I was quite the handful when I was younger (that's the PG version of how describe my younger self :P  ), so I'm actually enjoying calming down (but not too much!), getting older and being able to enjoy life more :o)  I will be 34 this year!  And having my crafty life take off has been AMAZINGFABULOUSAWSOME!  I never dreamed that I might actually be able to do what I love for a living.  It's still in the early, EARLY stages, but teaching classes, having sponsored opportunities, and the best part making crafty friends who are as crazy about their crafting as I am has been a dream! 

Here is the birthday card I made in honor of my birthday using my PSA Essential Snoopy stamps:

To enter to win the PSA Essential Stamps prize pack click HERE.

Of course I have to do something crafty to celebrate my birthday (don't forget I also am having a Big Birthday Bloga-aversary celebration on April 16-17th!).   So today I want to start a challenge for one of my favorite cartridges! This is a Cricut Circle Exclusive, so not everybody can get this cartridge!! 

This cartridge may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I really love it.  I love my Cricut and all the crafty doors it's opened for me.  It took my crafting to another level.  So if you're like me, and want to celebrate all things Cricut, this is the perfect cartridge for you!! Provocraft sent me an extra one by mistake, but was generous enough to let me keep it to giveaway on my blog!!!  So in order to get a chance to win here's what you gotta do:

1. Please become a follower-I promise you won't regret it!!!
2. Create a project SPECIFICALLY for this challenge. Any past projects posted will be deleted :(
3. Create a project about something you love (It can be your love for crafting, for the outdoors, or for someone you love, anything), or a birthday themed project.  One project per person please. 
4. Challenge will be open until  April 20 at 11:59 pm PST.

*** please note, due to shipping I can only accept USA and Canada entries***

I will be checking in later, but I will spending the day with my family!!  Thanks so much for celebrating with me and doing this challenge! I really hope everybody has a chance to craft today :oD

Welcome to the Gotta Have Friends Blog Hop!!

Hi Everybody!
Welcome to the Gotta Have Friends Blog Hop hosted by my good friend Alex from You Had Me At Craft.  Hopefully you came from Jin over at Under A Cherry Tree.  If you didn't please head over to see Alex HERE to start from the beginning.  So when Alex told us the theme of this hop was friends/friendship, I thought of friendship bracelets.  But I never learned how to braid or make the real ones, so I Cricut-ized them!  (That's right, I just made up a new word!!)  I also decided to make a project to keep all my Cricut/blogger/Facebook friends info all in one place.  Here's how they turned out:

• Cricut Everyday cartridge
• Pink By Design  = Stamp of the Month set "Grow"
• Post-it Craft paper
• Martha Stewart Glitter

• Behind each letter, I glued two of the cards together to create a pocket.
• This gives me a little pocket to put all the scrappy business cards from all my favorite bloggy/Cricut/FB friends!!
• This lets me keep all their info in one place.

And now for the BLOG CANDY!! 

Friends also mean always having a friendly face.  And what better place to get a friendly face then from.............

PEACHY KEEN STAMPS!!

The winner will get:

PK-461 Happy Lashes 1-1/8" Stamps!!

1. Leave a comment.
