I'm booked...

Happy Monday!  Did you have a wonderful weekend?  Mine was good though I think I'm getting sick again which is no fun at all, darn it!  I'm back today to share a Too Cute By Jessica file with you.  Today it is a wonderful bookmark made with the stack of books and bookworm files from the My Little Bookworm File.  This is such a cute file to use for anything school for sure but I also thought it would be cute to use for a bookmark.  Check it out:

See???  I told you that file is so fun, right?  The bookmark base was cut on my cameo and many of the other elements are from Jaded Blossom.  The bookworm file, in its original state, has glasses and a bow tie but I wanted my bookworm to be a girl so I lost the glasses, drew in eyelashes, made the bow tie into a 'hair' bow and added a crystal.  Just a couple of more sequins (from Craftin' Desert Divas) and crystals and I think it looks adorable!  I'll be giving this as a fun and practical Valentine's Day gift. 

Please check out the Too Cute By Jessica blog tomorrow for a brand new challenge and please play along - - it's so fun and you could win a TCBJ file!

Turtley In Love

Happy Monday!  I hope you all had a fabulous weekend!  As I type this it is a beautiful day here in my little corner of the world...in the 40's temperature wise, sunny, and blue sky...ahhh...I LOVE it!  Anyway, it is Monday here on my blog so that means it is time for a Too Cute By Jessica file share.  I really love working with Jessica's SVG's.  They are so easy and so darn cute!

For the outside I used a brand new file from the Turtley In Love set...ADORBS, right?!?  The paper is from Be Mine paper pad from Pebbles, the little flag is from Craftin Desert Diva's and I used the large die from the Card Mat Dies for the main panel.  A little bit of twine and I was all set...so fun!

Inside I just stamped a Valentine's greeting leaving some room to write a personal message to finish it off.  I'm sending this card to my grandma for Valentine's Day this year.  I will be making a card for my husband grandma too so watch for that soon!

Happy Monday Friends!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  We didn't get too much more snow since Saturday so that makes me happy.  It's Monday so I get to share a card with you today that I made for my son with a fabulous Too Cute By Jessica file.  He reached a goal he had set for himself at work so I wanted to make sure that we acknowledged his hard work.

Since my son works at a movie theater I had to, of course,make a card that included something theater-ish so I used the camera file from the Movie Props cut file set.  Perfect cut file, wouldn't you say?  I had to use this fun sentiment from Jaded Blossom as I say that regularly and I added a little texture to the background paper with a star splatter stamp and the dies for the squares and shaker are from JB as well.  This is my first shaker card in a long time and I love it.  The fun sequins and stars are from Craftin' Desert Divas.  Inside I just put a little more patterned paper and made sure I had room to write a little note.

Don't forget that there is still a challenge going on at the Too Cute By Jessica blog with a New Beginnings theme.  I hope you'll jump on over and link up one of your fabulous creations in our challenge!

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

I like big cups...

Okay, show of hands...who likes their coffee in the morning?  I know I do but it may be more because it's what I've always done rather than a 'need'.  I also love sitting out on the porch with my hubby during nice weather with the paper and a cup 'o joe so yeah...probably more about what coffee means rather than the jolt of caffeine for me.  I digress...I showed you last month a cute decoration I made for my coffee center for the Christmas holiday and I decided I'd go ahead and update it to something for Valentine's Day.  I have to say...I love how cute this turned out!

 I used the completely adorable Coffee Mouse image from Too Cute By Jessica for the main image of this decoration and yes! the fun sentiment comes with the coffee mouse file!  From that point I just went ahead and decorated it up almost like a scrapbook page as it is 8"x8".  The paper are from an old retired SU! paper pack, other stamps and die cuts are from Jaded Blossom.

And here is what it looks like by my coffee center.  I really LOVE it!  Don't forget Too Cute By Jessica is having New Beginnings challenge that you can check out HERE an I hope you'll play along!

New Beginnings...

Happy Monday friends!  Despite all of my posting the last couple of days I actually haven't created a whole bunch as I've been sick since the Monday after Christmas.  I am starting to feel better, though, and had to make a card to go with a shower gift (I didn't go to the shower though as I didn't want the mom-to-be to catch my cold) so I sat down and made this adorable card...

For this card I used the cute sitting boy file from the Baby Boy Set at Too Cute By Jessica as the star of the card.  Yes, this mama knows she is having a boy so it was fun to create a card with that in mind.  I used patterned paper from MME called Out of the Blue, a couple of stars from the Star Dies as well as a sentiment from Jaded Blossom.

Just a note for you all...tomorrow starts a new challenge at Too Cute By Jessica so I hope you will head on over there and join us.  Just a note about the rules...you do not have to use a TCBJ file just follow the theme so stop on over tomorrow and check it out!!

I'll be back tomorrow so I hope to see you then!

Happy Tuesday before Christmas to ya!  Today I'm sharing with you the card I made for my hubby for Christmas.  The cute gingerbread people are from the Cute Little Ginger Couple file over at Too Cute By Jessica.  I love how the little ginger couple matches the paper so well! did you notice how the ginger couple has their arms around each others waist?  CaUTE!!

This is probably the most Christmas-y card I made this year with the traditional red and green colors.  The patterned papers are from Doodle Bug Designs, the borders are border dies from Jaded Blossom, and I used this week's (and sadly the last) sketch from Sweet Sunday Sketch.  I really love this card and I can't wait to give it to my hubby!  I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

Toast and Jam

Well, good Monday morning friends!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  We are just speeding closer and closer to the magical day aren't we?  Are you getting everything done that you want to?  If not...do not stress about it, it is okay to let something(s) go!

Today I'm sharing another fun card made with with a cut file from Too Cute By Jessica.  I love to make love cards so here is another I made for my hubby.  The cut file is called We Go Together and has several fun 'matching' objects.  For this card I used peanut butter and jam files.

 I used some paper that I have had in my stash forever to make this card and tried not to make it too girlie...I think it works!

Don't forget we at Too Cute by Jessica have a fun winter challenge over at the TCBJ blog for you to enter.  I hope you'll go check it out and join in on the fun!

Love You Watts

Happy Monday everyone!  How was your weekend?  Did you get a lot done?  I've been in my Croffice a lot recently and I'm here to show you a fun card I made with a Too Cute By Jessica file called I Love You Watts.

 I'm sure you could never guess who this card might be for!  LOL!  My hubby and I are going away for a couple of days and I like to have a card for him for each of the days that we are gone and this is card #1...two more to go!

Then inside I stamped this little light bulb and sentiment...then I thought maybe I should have told him a like him a lot before suggesting the other...heeheehee!!

Don't forget about the Too Cute By Jessica challenge for this month.  Just design a card with a winter theme and link it up the the blog HERE!

Another first...

I'm excited to tell you about another first here on my blog.  Today marks my first day of posting on behalf of the Too Cute By Jessica SVG Design Team!!  I'm sure you can tell how much I love SVG's in my crafting so when I was asked to come aboard their team I just had to say yes!  I hope you enjoy my first project that I made for the Winter challenge.  I made with the super cute file called Let It Snow SnowGlobe.  This card is for my husband's grandma as he has made it a tradition to get her a snow globe every year for Christmas (and the tradition continues this year) so I thought a fun snow globe card would be in order....take a gander....

What do you think?  Completely adorable file, right?  Now, I know you want to play along so please head on over to Too Cute By Jessica's blog to play along with our challenge!
