Hi Everyone,
Craig and I have decided to make a lifestyle change and lose some weight. So we joined Weight Watchers Online. We've been in this lifestyle change for two weeks now. I've lost 10 pounds and Craig has lost 8 pounds. YIPPPPEEEEEE!!!! I have lots more to go but I'm thrilled with our start!
Crafters Digital Art Center has a Progressive Freebie Challenge. The current challenge ends October 15 and features this adorable image of a little pig by Laurie Wilson of Doodle Pantry. So I decided to make a wipeoff board to put on the refrigerator to write encouraging notes to Craig and myself.
I printed the cute "Muddy Piggy" on my printer and cut it out. I used Zooballoo to cut out grass and then cut the fence out using Freshly Picked. I also cut a sign using Freshly Picked. I then typed "STEP AWAY from the fridge!!" and posted the sign. This little piggy is so cute but he'll also keep guard on the fridge in case we try to eat something we're not supposed to eat!!
Now isn't he just the cutest???
Thanks so much for stopping by today. We appreciate your visits and comments. Stop by tomorrow - Mom's posted a really cute project!! Until another day, God Bless You! Donna
I cannot believe it. It snowed 4 to 5 inches here in South Carolina again. This is an unusual winter. But being snowed in gives us more time to make cards. Right?
This is one of the cards I've made recently. The sheep is a product of Designed2Delight. There is a challenge with this digi. Click on the link to see the requirements. This is how I made my card.
Cover 4.25X5.5 card with red foil paper
Cut signs from Freshly Picked cartridge at 2.5X1.5
Cut "Love Ewe" from any cartridge you like. I used Don Juan
and welded them together. Adhere the words to the signs.
Color the digital image. Promarkers. These are the colors I used.
Sheep - Cool Grey, Almond
Fence - Tan, Cocoa
Grass - Grass, Pine
Add tiny hearts above sheep and faux stitching around card.
Thank you for visiting. We love your comments. God Bless You!!! Peggy

It seems Summer is hanging around longer than usual. It has been in the 90's for a while now. So I decided to make a card to welcome Fall hoping it will get here. I don't like Winter but do love the cool nights of Fall and the warm days.
This card was made using a Digi-stamp from Doodle Pantry and the Freshly Picked Cricut cartridge. I colored the digistamp with Promarkers, applied it to a glittery background of Fall colors with the greeting. The pumpkins(cut at various sizes) were cut from Freshly Picked as well as the sign. The pumpkin with the frog is a K&Company Tim Coffey sticker. You can't have pumpkins without a carved face.
I cut a frame from the same glitter paper as on the front for the inside of the card using Lyrical Letters. Then I added a little decoration.
I love flowers. One that my husband planted almost every year was geraniums. I saw these geraniums on my Freshly Picked cartridge and decided to make a card with it.
The card is an A2 card (4.25X5.5). I don't know the name of the background paper. Donna and I have a habit of buying a pad of paper and sharing it. If I'm at her house I get the cover it comes in because it's easier to keep it from bending while traveling if it's in the cover. If she's here, she gets the cover. (Does that make any sense?) Well, any way she has the cover to this paper stack so I don't know what the name of the paper is. I cut the base geranium at 3.75 X 5". I then cut the various elements and added them. I added chalk shading on the pot, flowers and leaves. The little butterfly is a part of the background paper but I added stickles to his wings. The sentiment is a Hero Art stamp.
The inside of the card leaves and flowers are leftovers from the cuts on the front.
I hope today is a glorious day for you instead of the Monday blahs. Thanks for stopping by our blog. God Bless You!!! Peggy
I recently purchased the Freshly Picked Cricut Cartridge and the coordinating Cuttlebug Embossing Folders. There are a lot of cute images on this cartridge for those who like to garden. I think of my husband when I look at this cartridege. He loved gardening and yard work more than anyone I have ever known.
I've been trying to think of an appropriate card to use this cartridge. When I saw this little digi-stamp from Doodle Pantry I knew it would go wonderfully with Freshly Picked.
I used Promarkers to color the digi and pop dotted it. I used one of the Cuttlebug folders to emboss the background. The sign is cut using the sign feature on the cartridge. The label is part of the digi-stamp. I cut the pitchfork & layers at 3", then inked them with brown ink so they would look like they had been used.
Thank you for visiting our blog and looking at my card. Donna and I love reading your comments. God Bless You. Peggy
