Stampin' Up Surprise!

I have the best husband in the world!

He told me today to be on the look out for UPS who was out for delivery with some stuff he ordered for an upcoming Autocross event. He told me to go ahead and open it because I could use it too.

When the box arrived, I opened it to take a picture to text him what came in. 

Boy was I surprised to see that it wasn't anything for him or his car or any upcoming Autocross event. It was for me! He ordered me a Stampin' Up Color Caddy I've been wanting. I couldn't believe it!  He is so good to me.

If you don't know what a color caddy is, here is the catalog picture.


I don't have near that many ink pads, and only have 2 refill bottles. But now I have a place to put the rest of the colors when I order them.  :)

Love my hubby.

Bee Sweet

Hi, crafters!
I thought it was a good idea to get my May scrapbook title page made BEFORE May gets here this time. You know, since I just create my April title page and April only has one more day left in it. LOL

If you like my scrapbook page, and would like to make one just like it for your own scrapbook, 

here is the link to it in Cricut Design Space. 


All of the cuts on this page are from Cricut. The only cut that is from an exclusive cartridge is "2017" using the Close To My Heart Regular font from their Artiste cartridge.

Cricut cuts and their cartridges:

Sun - Doodlecharms
Ladybug, Stump, Tree, and flowers - Create a Critter
Grass - Paper Dolls for Every Day
Bee - Walk in My Garden
May - When I was a Kid
2017 - Close To My Heart, Artiste



I have so much for creating Cricut scrapbook pages like this!
Thank you so much for stopping by today.
Smiles!

#170 Anything but a Card 

Optional Theme: Wall Banners


My Design Team Project


Isn't this cute!?!!

This is from the Cricut Make It Now section of Design Space.
I made it a little smaller, and added several more banner pennants so it could spell MEOW.

The original Cricut Make It Now project HERE

My altered Meow Banner HERE

All images are print and cuts.
Meow font is Cricut Alphabet.
Letters and images adhered with foam tape.
Lime green tulle
Lime green linen thread

I hung this one on the wall in my craft area above my HAPPY banner.


Thanks for visiting me today.
Hope you'll come play with us at Pause Dream Enjoy Linky Party this week.

the optional theme is Wall Banners.
