Anysoldier.com - Spring/Easter Card Swap

Here's the 2 sets of cards, I put together for the card swap. I cannot wait to see all the swappers cards that are being sent to me since I am the hostess for this swap!

It's A Girl! Card

I made this card to go with my elephant theme in the "It's A Girl! "diaper cake. I used Spellbinders dies in the Cuttlebug, and used this Digi image from (will post soon), and colored the image with Copic Markers!

Happy St. Patricks Day

Here's my entry for the Color Challenge at The Outlawz Girlz ! The challenge was to use lavender and green. I made my card and totally forgot that it also was to have polka dots!! WHAT LUCK!! There are polka dots on the shamrock just under the sentiment!! Woo -hoo!

Sketch Challenge

Saturdays Sketch challenges are being hosted by Emily. This is a page I created using this weeks sketch for the wedding album I am putting together of my late mother's photographs.

New Challenges

I have been tearing the paper up in here! I can honestly tell you I have ink on my hands!! Call me a crafter!  The top picture is what I created from Emily's sketch challenge and the bottom is from Clare's Card Challenge!

HAPPY DANCE!! I was featured!

How exciting I have been listed as one of the featured members it is so exciting! I would like to thank  everyone involved with  for giving me the inspiration to create wonderful projects!  A lot of changes were taking place at SSC at the end of 2010. I had only been a member for a few months and things started changing around there. Not that I cared to much, I have joined so many crafty sites in the last 6 months that it just gives me more places to look for different challenges. 

That is until....  I was asked to be on the DESIGN TEAM!! I AM SO EXCITED!

I am excited to be asked in the first place I noticed most web sites ask for crafty peeps to send in the applications to be in their design team. What is funny even if I had been doing cards for 20 years I am not the type of person to put myself out there. If I am asked on the other hand it just makes it that much more special! :) 

I love challenges and I know everyone else will love it as much as I do. I use to sit for hours brain storming trying to come up with different ideas. I new nothing and still do not know a lot about different products to use and how to use them, but the internet will be your best friend in this case! The challenges have helped me step out of my box and into someone else's .. so to speak, and to take away ideas for how to put the project together but yet put them to use in your own way. 

I am very excited about the upcoming months of being on the DESIGN TEAM. (Didn't even get to do anything really- site sits stagnant most of the time)

Creative juices are flowing tonight!

Boot Scootin Birthday

Here's the card I created for the birthday challenge at The Outlawz. The theme for the challenge was Western. I think I nailed the western part of this challenge!

It was a GREAT day!

What a wonderful beautiful sunny awesome day it was today,79 degrees, a free car wash @ the Boomerang, received my GIRL SCOUT COOKIES for me and to send the soldiers & had a great brunch with a friend I have known for 27 years but hadn't seen in 20, seen my husbands best bud behind me at the stop light after brunch, and all the sudden my power window quit working, what's up with that? Lol! I think he was giving me some of his bad luck for a second there. He's been going through a rough time right now.  But I called his cell and he pulled over and helped me shut it.  The next great thing is that Lenscrafter's replaced my son's expensive  lenses and frames for $25 , woo-hoo!  I thought for sure we were going to have to replace them both. While I waited on my glasses I went to one of my good friends from high schools work (Another Optical Store) and had a great time chatting with her.  I usually do not see any of my old friends but once every year or 2 and it was a nice change to my uneventful days. Then to top off a wonderful day I was asked to be a DESIGN TEAM member for Simply Scrapping Crafts! I KNOW! I am fairly new to the card making as you know if you have been keeping up with my blog, but I love a challenge! I think I can handle it!

Dust the craft desk off and let's start some Card Challenges!

These two cards I created last night for the week of challenges that I missed while spending time with the family during our winter storm. Above is for the CAS Challenge at The Outlawz and below I entered for two challenges the Birthday Challenge and I used the Sketch from the Sketch Challenge at The Outlawz. These girls are so creative with their sketch ideas!

My 1st BLOGIVERSARY CANDY!!

It went by so fast!! It has been a year now that I have started blogging. I came up with the name OK Cricuteer when I started making cards for the soldiers using my Cricut cutting machine and I seen that others called themselves Cricuteer's so I thought that OK Cricuteer was fitting at the time. 

So back to the fact that this day is my 1 year anniversary of blogging! What to do! I want to give away something special to my readers so for one month I will be taking the names of anyone who leaves me a comment on this post and on March 5th I will draw a name and I  will announce the WINNER of my surprise BLOG CANDY! 

The blog candy will be craft related, might be new Stampin Up products, Copic markers, scrapping supplies might be all of the above!  

So don't forget to leave me a comment!
