Mermaid card-from the heart

Hi crafty friends! Hope you all are doing well! The weekend is drawing nearer..I can't wait! I just wanted to share a little card I made with you~

I started with some kraft cardstock, added a piece of blue from my scrap pile, then added a cute little piece of blue chevron to imitate waves. I fussy cut some clouds from some patterned paper and added them on top. I used the CTMH Artiste Cricut cartridge for the orange diecut. I then used misc. K.Andrew Designs stamps, colored the images in, then fussy cut most of them with my cutterbee scissors. I hand cut the little "island" and then added stickles for a little added sparkle. (The colored pencils are by EK Success.) The twine is by Doodlebug and it's called "swimming pool". This is something different for me..I don't usually color in stamped images but I had a lot of fun doing it!

Hope you like my little card today! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hugs,

IMAGINE ation Monday with MCCR

Good morning, crafty friends! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!  My 4 year old daughter and I went to a Mother/Daughter sleepover this weekend. We had so much fun! The moms crafted and the (3) four year old girls played their little hearts out!  It's so awesome to have great crafty friends that live close by where we can do things like that! 

So, today is IMAGINE ation Monday! That means I get to use my Imagine machine and share that project with you. I love my Imagine machine because it really makes cute images in just a few seconds! Here is the project I made to share.

For my card I used the Imagine More Cards Cricut Cartridge. I cut the cute little image out at 4 inches. I started with Kraft cardstock, used my We are Memory Keepers corner rounder, added a piece of Core'dinations cardstock in brown, then rounded those corners, added my cute image/sentiment, put some bling on the corners, and lastly,  added the pink twine. This came together so quickly! Here are a couple of more photos.

I hope you liked my card today! Thank you so much for stopping by! Please be sure to go by My Cricut Craft Room and see all of the projects my talented design team sisters came up with!!! 

Enjoy your week!

Good Morning! Hope everyone's week is going smoothly! Last night, I made a super quick and easy card to share with you. I love quick and easy projects because I don't have a lot of time on most days. Here's my card~

I can't believe Rye turns 6 months tomorrow! She loves to play with Gretchen's keyboard already! Soo cute!!

I also want to share a recipe for banana bread with you all. I have posted this before months ago but I want to share again because it is so good and so easy! I have literally made this hundreds of times!! It turns out perfect every single time!

Banana Bread

3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup melted butter
nuts optional

In Large bowl mash bananas, add sugar and egg, mix..add rest of ingredients and mix well.
Bread takes about 1 hour but you can also make into muffins or mini muffins!

These muffins/bread are always a hit!! So easy, doesn't take too many ingredients,  and I just use one bowl ~so easy clean up, too!

I hope you all have a great day! I will be choosing a random winner for the ribbons, laces, twines, and flosses later today so if you haven't entered yet, go comment on that post!
