Anyway, on to my projects for this hop.  The first up is a set of cards that I made with primarily Stampin Up materials.  I am practicing my stamping skills and thought these cards came out simple but cute.

The second set of cards that I have for the hop are Valentine's cards for my 3 year old daughter to give her classmates on Monday.  She helped me make these cards.  We made 13 total cards but here is a sample of each style that we made.  My daughter will "write" her name/draw on the inside of each card.  I used Cricut Spring Holiday Cards cartridge along with my cuttlebug folders.  I inked a couple of them with chalk and also used the new Stampin Up red glitter cardstock on some.  I added some stickles and rhinestones to bling it up.

So, for my blog....I will be giving away the Wild Card cart as my blog candy.  Just leave a comment for a chance to win this blog candy.  Only one comment per person please.  I will ship anywhere in the US.  I will pick a winner (by random) on Monday evening.

Click here to go to the next stop on the hop!!  Girlia is next and I know you are going to be inspired by her and the rest of the CTO DT, as they are all so talented!  Enjoy and Good Luck in winning some delicious blog candy!!

Emma's Throwback Thursday #104

Hi All,

Here is my submission for Emma's Throwback Thursday #104.  The challenge is to make a shaped card and you have to use orange.  My stepson loves Penguins and I have been wanting to make him his card for awhile.  His birthday is next month so this card will be for him.

I used Create a Critter.  I used my xyron to put glitter on the penguin's face.  Used my cuttlebug Distressed Stripes to add texture to his scarf (and of course Diamond stickles for a little bling).  Pretty basic card, but it is perfect for my stepson.

Thanks for looking.

Nicole
