Gift Sets
These are a few giftsets I put together, 2 for my mom and 1 for a co-worker. I think they turned out super cute. The box has 6 cards with envelopes, the little box has 4 magnets - with corresponding designs, there is a book with about 50 blank index cards in it, and then the card that goes with the set for the individual. I have directions - if I get motivated I will post them :)

Color Challenge at Kwernerdesign
I am just getting started on the challenges - so I thought this was an easy one to do. It is a color challenge. I have so many great pictures of my kids with great vibrant pictures - I wanted to try and use one with them in it. The soft background with those bright juicy colors - they look so yummy! Not to mention the subject is beautiful :)
Thanks to Kwernerdesign for the opportunitiy to do the challenge

mps #4 teacher appreciation
MPS #6 - Kids too
My challenge for myself
OK - so after doing the My Pink Stamper challenge - I feel motivated! I am going to give myself a challenge. I am more likely to do something if I put it out there - so this is me putting it out there. I want to try to use all of the cuts on one cartridge. We will start with one - and go from there.
So my challenge to me - is take a cart....let's see - what one.......Let's start with Sweet Treats. I want to do every cut and make something out of it. Let the creativity start :)

WOW
That was a lot of posts in a little time!
I still have two more challenges to do hopefully by tonight. The #6 and #7 - With/For a child and the Teacher one from MPS.
This is the first time I ever did a challenge - I was skeptical at first - but I am hooked. It pushes you a little. Sometimes I will get down the the craft room and I get so overwhelmed by all the possibilities - I just stare for a while. And with three kids under 4 my time is limited.
One thing for all those that are busy and think you don't have time. What I did that was SO helpful was print out all the "cheat sheets" from cricut.com of the carts I have - put them in a binder - with tabs for each cart. And I have a notebook with sketches. I will "design" my card before I go down. I have the cuts and sizes that I want to do. So when I go down - I can be super productive in the short windows that I have. I got 10 cards done in no time that way.
Hopefully my oldest and I can get some scrapping time tonight and get those last two done before the deadline!

Challenge #3 - MPS - Outside of the box
OK - I have the cricut markers and never use them. And I have all these googly eye's that I never use. And I always forget to use the layers on most everything - so this was a little out of the norm for me.
:( And I am going to have to take a break from the challenges - I am happy that I was able to get at least three done. I have three kids under 4 and we have a wedding - I should probably get ready vs. typing and crafting!
MPS 2nd Challenge - Scraps
MPS 1st Challenge
My First challenge!
I made this card with my grandmother in mind. It will be sent to her for mothers day. I like to think of her as well. So I send her a grandmothers day card. She is also a great grandmother - and within the past month she is a great - great grandmother!
I love the way it turned out - very old fashion - with a slight modern twist to it.
I can't tell you the paper I used - everything I got came from Joann's. I used Forever Young Cart for the frame, silo and the tag. I believe the letters were from George.

The beginning
I am trying to straighten out what I want Blogging to do for me. I started with one BLOG – but it was trying to be everything – and not being what I needed it to be – for me.
So – I moved and switched and I think I got it. We will see. This one – the Designs – will be dedicated to my creative outlet. Mostly, this will be my world of paper crafting – sharing images that I have done – and places that I go to for inspiration. Hoping I can inspire another.
