XOXO Goddess Cat

The current challenge on Just Buggin is to create a 3-D object. I decided to use the new Lovestruck cartridge and create one of the cute little mailboxes on it. I used a variety of

cartridges on this one. The mailbox itself is cut from Lovestruck. I used Bazzil swiss dots cardstock to cut the base. Then I added pattern paper to the sides. The goddess cat on the front

is cut from Paisley. I think all cats want to wear a crown and sit on a pink glittery pillow! On one side I cut XoXo also from the Paisley cartridge. The other side features the phrase love mew

which I cut from Lyrical letters and welded it together with my gypsy. The mailbox cuts at a great size to fill with candy when you cut it at fit to page with the 12 x 12 mat.

Just Buggin- Love Ya

For this week's Just Buggin challenge, I decided to try a new type of card that I hadn't made before. It's called a wiper card. You can find a tutorial for this type of card here. So, the theme of this challenge is Love Ya- to create a Valentine's themed project. I used the adorable zebra

driving a card cut from the Paisley cartridge. The background is a new Cuttlebug folder that looks like mini conversation hearts. I sanded it to bring out the embossing. I placed this sassy little zebra on a pink a black road. Wouldn't it be fabulous if the lines on the middle of the road were pink? This is what the card looks like closed. I added the cute little conversation hearts that are on the love struck cartridge on the front of the

card and also on the little wiper that pops up when you open the card. I also stamped a sentiment and added some zebra striped ribbon. We would love to see your Valentine's Projects, so show us what you've made and join us at Just Buggin.

Just Buggin

I was recently selected to be on the design team for the Just Buggin Challenge Blog! This is exciting news because it will get me to use my cricut more. Sometimes I get too carried away with stamps and forget how much I love my little guy. So, the challenge for this week is called Into the Wild and the assignment is to use an animal from any cricut cartridge. That's tough there are soooo many cute cricut animals. How could I choose. Well, I decided to start with my newest cartridge and see what I could find. I was lucky enough to have someone pick up the new Paisley cartridge for me. This cartridge is simply adorable- very adorable and cute. I chose this crazy image of a dachshund hula hooping. I started with some K and Company paper and chose
my colors from there. I added some stickles to the hula hoop to give it a little pizazz. I used my cuttlebug to emboss the strips of paper behind the dog and added a few flowers. I thought smile was the perfect sentiment- what else are you going to do when you see a pink dachshund hula hooping?
