Have a Fintastic Day Card

Hey there everyone!  I have been so busy that I haven't been at home much at all!  Yesterday we had a very interesting day at the lake...  My dad and I fell into a concrete hole (the concrete collapsed like a sink hole while we were standing on it) and it scratched my leg up VERY badly!  Luckily, there was a very nice, cute park ranger that was able to help me with some first aid, but I'm tellin' ya my leg looks really bad!  It didn't really hurt when it happened, but now that the adrenaline has worn off... YIKES!  It was a really freaky accident, and I'm just happy that no one was hurt worse than they were!  :)  Well enough about that...  Today is another Joy's Life DT day and we were asked to use her new stamp set: Pun in the Sun.  I love puns, so this stamp set offers me lots of giggles and inspiration. 

Disney Princess Dreams Come True- Flounder cut at 4.09"
Create a Critter- flag cut at 3.25"

Well everyone, I hope your summer has been "fintastic" so far and that you are staying injury free!  Thanks for stopping by!

Krafty Girls Challenge Number 1 and Blog Hop!!!

Hello and Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!!  Welcome to my lil' ol' blog!  I am so excited to be a part of the Krafty Girls DT, and I'm super excited that today is the first challenge!!!  The challenge is to create a card, 3D item, scrapbook page, etc. that represents the place that you're from/live.  I live in California, so this is the card I made to represent some of my favorite things about living here!  California has soooo many things to offer (deserts, agriculture, some really big cities), but I chose to represent what I love most: a big redwood tree, the ocean, and (of course) Mickey Mouse because I love going to Disneyland!!!  I also added twine around the state, this represents the area of California where I live!  Hope you enjoy and I can't wait to see what all of you create over at Krafty Girls!!!  :)

MPS Challenge- Snappy Birthday

Woo hoo!  I love when Robyn a.k.a. The Pink Stamper does a challenge!  Her stamps are some of my favorites, and her challenges are fun!  :)  Today's challenge is to create a birthday project (click here to see the challenge), so I came up with something that I thought was fun.  The Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie, so when I pictured this card it had to have Sebastian on it!  "Under the Sea" was playing in my head the entire time I was making this! :)
