CTO Pool Party Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Celebrate the Occasion's  Pool Party Blog hop!!  It's summertime , its time to pull  out  the swimming suits , our floaties , dive in  and have some fun!
So lets start celebrating!!
If you  came from Maquel's blog then you're on the right track, if you just stumbled upon my blog then head back to CTO and start at the beginning.  Be prepared to be  inspired, you'll see lots of great projects and find lots of blog candy along the way!  So have fun!!
I made a couple cards for the hop today.

I recently received these stamps from Stampin Up, Sunny Fun from the summer mini catalog, and I had to try them out.   I used the SU watercolor pencils and the blending marker to color, not the best but I'm still a newbie to it.
 All 3 cards are 4.25 x 5.5 in., I used SU , DCWV and Bazzill cardstock, SU ink, ribbon & heart punch, EK Success & Martha Stewart border punches, and a few eyelets& twine from my stash. I used the Life's a Beach cart for the wording in the first card.

I really had  fun making these, It's great getting new things to play with.

Now its time for the good stuff..... blog candy!!!  You all know the drill,  leave a comment  along with a way  to get a hold  of you if you win.  You don't need to be a follower to win, although it would make me happy :) I will do the drawing on Mon, June 6.

OK.... I know you may be thinking to yourself .... if we're celebrating  summer fun , why  is she giving away a winter cart???   Well,  I'm  from Minnesota.....  enough said :)  LOL

Anyway, its time to head on over to Judy Ann's  blog and see what creative project she's come up with.

Here's a list of  the blogs on the hop in case you get lost.  We don't want you to miss a thing.

Feelin a Little Goofy!

Here's a card I made this weekend.  I used the Mickey & Friends cart, cutting Goofy at 5 in. The paper used was from DCWV and the ink,sentiment and embellishments are from Stampin' Up.
The challenges I'm submitting to are :
Cooking with the Cricut - Make me Laugh
Wacky Wednesday - Something Funny
Bitten by the Bug2 - Disney                                                   

Jolly Holiday Cards

I finally got a chance to play with my Jolly Holiday cart this weekend.  It was really fun to play with. The elves I cut out at 3 inches,I used  Stampin Up Christmas paper, Peachy Keen stamps for the faces and The Pink Cricut stamps for the sentiments.
This is a Cricut Lite cart and can be found at WalMart., very popular and hard to get.  I highly recommend it, so if you come across it, grab it while you can!
