Caardvarks *Baby* challenge!!

Good morning!!  How was everyones evening? I didn’t do much except nurse my sore body in our leather recliner… lol!! The 30 Day Shred is killing me and I think I bummed up my knee, so i’m thinking i’m going to skip it today and do a different workout that’s a bit easier on my body… it was dark when I woke up but seems to be clearing up, so maybe it’ll end up being a nice day here and I can get out and about! But I need to wait around for a bit ’cause i’m expecting a box from L’il Scrappers with my next 2 DT kits & a bunch of Copics, a Martha Stewart punch i’ve been trying to get my hands on (Scalloped hearts) & bunch of October Afternoon goodies that I bought!! Yum!!  Can’t wait to dig in! lol! I’ll be having a scrappy happy weekend here! 

Ok.. onto scrappy stuff…. I decided to try out the Caardvarks challenge this morning.. their challenge was to make either a baby or wedding themed card/item… since baby items are my absolute favourite thing to create, I went with baby! I dug out some of the newest My Little Yellow Bicycle baby line and used some goodies from that line… so bright & fun! Love it!! I used my Cricut Expression & Design Studio to cut the card base for my baby card along with the StoryBook Cartridge. The scallops aren’t *perfectly* even, but I think it works still! Whatcha think?? Oh also for my tag, I used the New Arrival Cartridge to cut out that adorable monkey! He’s sooo cute!! lol!

Materials: Bazzill CS, My Little Bicycle Baby Safari pp, Cricut Expression, DS, Storybook Cartridge, KaiserCraft Rhinestones, MM Ledger Alphas, American Craft Thickers.

I also wanted to let everyone know that I didn’t make it into the Gallery Idol Top 5 … guess my cute cupcakes weren’t a hit like I was hoping they’d be.. And I know i’ve been showing 2 Idol cards on Fridays, but I didn’t make 2 cards for the Top 10.. ironic huh? lol! The first card I made that I was really *sure* of and I get the boot!! hahaha!!! Can’t win ‘em all! ;)

Here’s a peek at my cupcake card if you missed it….

However, I am thrilled to have made the Top 10 again and I won 3 *AWESOME* prizes!!! So i’m quite excited to receive my goodies in the mail after the contest is over!! I’d like to thank everyone who voted for me and supported me through this contest, and would also like to thank Paper Crafts for another fun year in the contest and the Sponsors (Paper Crafts, American Crafts, Basic Grey, & Cosmo Cricket) for the fabulous prizes!!

And… i’d also like to Congratulate the Top 5!! Gorgeous cards, ladies, I know for sure one of the wonderful ladies who made Top 5 reads my blog (shoutout to the lovely & sweet Rae here!!) so I cannot wait to see the creations on Monday!!

Well that’s all for today ladies… i’ll be back tomorrow with Card Patterns! Have a fabulous day!!!
