A Crafty Little Place color challenge

The color challenge at ACLP was blue, pink and green.

Butterfly from SU!
Sentiment from Stampendous
Pearls from Michael's

This is for a Cricut Card Fairy mission.
This also goes with challenge of using butterflies at Crafty Creations.

Tuesday Challenge

at Made by Momo was a baby challenge.

I haven't made a baby card in awhile so I made this baby gown or Christening gown.
Ran the top through the Swiss dot Cuttlebug folder, added pearls and stamped the sentiment (SU!) on velum and backed it with a lavender circle. I added a thin 1/8" ribbon bow to the sash.

Entering this at Made by Momo and Polka doodles

Made this card for the woman at the little cottage we stayed at in Maine. A sweet woman owns the cottages and was very hospitable and was very helpful.

I followed the color scheme at Colour Create and the sketch from Clean & Simple Stamping
The stamps were from SU and the sentiment is from Stampendous. The ribbon is also from SU!

My Pink ATG!

So I keep hearing about this pink ATG. I did some research and the lowest price I saw online was 21.99 plus what ever they were charging for shipping.

When I heard that Michael's had them - I called my M's today and they said "yup - we got em!"
So with my competitor coupon in hand I drove over there (thank goodness as M's gouged the price to 34.99 USD). But with my coupon I paid 1/2 that. They had three on the shelf and I took one. Now off to ensure I know how to use it before I make my cards or LO. Hehehehe. I hear it takes a little used to cause of the trigger.

If you buy one - here is a video I found on how to load these suckers. Now off to make a card.
