Sweet as a Gumdrop...

Double Display Card

As I was blog hopping Friday night I came across this amazing card over at Sweet as a Gumdrop. I knew I had to try it as soon as I saw it. Brenda's card is so beautiful so please click on her blog and check it out.

Sweet as a Gumdrop

For this project I used my Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge, Heidi Grace Designer paper, AWI Action Wobble, Grosgrain ribbon, rhinestones, Chocolate brown cardstock, CTMH stamp set D1242 Doodle Alphabet and Stampin' up Whisper white ink.

I wanted to use a brown and white pattern paper to go with the Designer paper but I couldn't find one I liked. So, I took out my CTMH stamps and made my own.

This little bird, perched on her little branch is attached with an Action Wobble. The effect is SO CUTE!!! To order Action Wobbles visit their site here.

MPS's First Blog Hop and Challenge

After following Robyn's blog hop and collecting all the secret key words, I made this card.

I used textured cardstock, Country pattern paper, my Cuttlebug, ribbon and a few pearls but what I love most of all is the Wobble I used to make the stamps jiggle.

Breast Cancer Awareness

Think Pink!

Even though Breast Cancer Awareness month is coming to a close the fight for a cure is never ending. Don't be afraid, be informed, take care of yourself and your loved ones, do your monthly checks, schedule those mammograms and join the fight for a CURE.

I made these cards for a my BFFs mother who has fought the fight against breast cancer twice and survived.
