You Are My Sunshine........

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine... you make me happy when skies are gray... you never know dear, how much I love you, please don't take my sunshine away.

My mom used to sing this little poem to me when I was younger. Regina at The Cutting Cafe created this absolutely adorable sun shaped card, and of course added the poem to fit the card base or circular... along with a perfect envelope. I had to have it. I had to make one for my mom. She just got out of a short hospital stay. This is sure to bring sunshine her way.

The Cuttlebug Spot - We are Falling, challenge #50

Get out your fall goodies and make anything FALL themed this week with us at The Cuttlebug Spot. It's getting to be a bit nippy outside, the leaves are changing, the gardens are about to sleep for the winter... this is my favorite time of year. My card this week is a simple one. I used a printable stamp from The Cutting Cafe with my Maple leaf emboss / cut combo set. Add a ribbon and whallah... Be sure to stop by and have a look at the beautiful DT creations this week.

The Cuttlebug Spot - Ink Up with Challenge #49

Celebrating our 1 year anniversary at The Cuttlebug Spot, we're revisiting our challenge from that first week... INK UP your embossing folder. This is such a fun technique. I used The Apron Shaped Card from The Cutting Cafe. I think this is just too cute and perfect for all this harvest cookin' I'm doing! I used K&Co Lemon Drop paper and the new Moroccan Screen A2 Cuttlebug Folder to make this little card. Check out the other DT projects and play along this week!

The Cuttelbug Spot - Challenge 46

Who's ready for school to start??? The Cuttlebug Spot is celebrating education with our projects this week. My son is starting Kindergarten, and as of this week has been accepted to the best place we could ask for him to start his schooling... and his teacher... well she's one of my best friends so it just doesn't get much better! My card is super simple this week due to limited time. The Cutting Cafe has this great "Just A Little Something From Me To You For My Teacher Stamp. 99 cent special and well worth it. I used the Cuttlebug A2 Diamond Plate folder. EK Success border punch ABC123. DCVW paper, misc ribbon and felt shapes.

Play along with us this week and create anything that is school or education themed. We've got a $20 gift certificate sponsored by Custom Crops this week for one creative participant!

Cuttlebug Spot Challenge 43 - Sketch a week late

Last week at The Cuttlebug Spot, Aymee made a great sketch for everyone to play with. I am late putting it to paper but it is so much fun I had to make something for it... one thing I forgot was to emboss something! The one key ingredient... I got crazy with the adhesive and before I knew it I was done, I was happy with my project, and then I realized I didn't add any cuttlebug! Ah well... it's a cutie anyway. Thanks Aymee for the inspiration!

Somethin' else I had fun creating with is The Social Butterfly digi stamp set from The Cutting Cafe! I won this set as well as the Butterfly Backgrounds from Shelly's fabby blog candy a few weeks ago. I've been enjoying playing with them a ton. I just love this set and it came at the perfect time to use on Aymee's sketch! Thank you Shelly!

I used 2 newish totally cute Magnolia stamps in this small 8x8 wall hanging. The Watering Can and Tilda with Butterfly. Paper is Basic Grey Urban Prairie collection. Love this stuff!

This is the Sketch for the challenge
