Cardz TV Challenge #2 - Make a card using fall icons: leaves, acorns, corn, scarecrow, etc.

Hello everyone! It's time for Cardz TV Challenge #2. This challenge is to make a card using fall icons: leaves, acorns, corn, scarecrow, etc. For my project I created a shaker card using the sentiment "Sending you big BEAR hugs!" from "Beary Sweet" stamp set. I used the Cricut Explore print then cut feature to cut out the bear in pumpkin patch and added some cute acorns. The frame is cut from the Cricut Elegant Edges cartridge.

Cardz TV Challenge #1 - Make a Card Using 3 Colors Only, Your Choice

Hello everyone! Welcome back for a fun challenge at Cardz TV. This challenge is to make a card using 3 colors only, your choice of colors. White and black may also be used, and don’t count as part of your 3 colors. My color choices are ivory, rose, and brown. Me and my hubby are celebrating our 16th wedding anniversary today, so I thought it would be an appropriate challenge to make him an anniversary card. We both love our coffee in the morning and both like the same flavor cream. He's going to get a kick out of this card. The sentiment "You're the cream in my coffee!" from Sweet Sayings goes perfectly with the coffee and cream Cricut cuts. I stamped the adorable faces from the new stamp set Let's Face It. For the inside stamps I used "I love you with all my heart!" from Heart to Heart , "Happy Anniversary" from Happy Days, and cute little heart borders are from the new stamp set Basic Borders.

School Rules!

Hello everyone! It's been awhile since I have posted. I've been busy with work and on Friday's I watch my new grandson, Eli. I've had a lot of company on those Friday's too. My older grandson, Julien also spent some of those days with us. My sister and my niece and nephew were a huge help too (thanks!).

Today I'm sharing the back to school card I made for my grandson, Julien. He is going to be in the 3rd grade this year. Seems like yesterday he was just going into preschool! For this card I used the Cardz TV stamp sets "School Days" and "Bookmark It". I love both sets. I think this card turned out super cute.

• Shaker pendant necklace with her initial inside;
