Summer Treats...

are so yummy and this one is great all year long.
 Thank you Sandy  over at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog, for the awesome free digi to play along with.

This is one of my favorite all year long treats and so here is my challenge entry.

Using my Cricut maker, scissors, some pretty ribbon, printer and of course a little card stock this is what I came up with. The adorable Popsicle is the freebie play along digi.

Stop on over and check out all the awesome DT inspiration designs.

card or box...

or a card box for something different.

Theme is optional... Patriotic for a challenge over at the Scor-Pal blog.

Here's my take on things.....

Using my Scor-Pal, paper trimmer, embossing folders and sizzix dies....a few stamps and done.

No power needed, just a little elbow grease and my hands.

Enjoy, blessings and hugs, Lori m 

Clean and Simple cards....

elegant, stylish and just beautiful.

 I found a new to me challenge AAA Cards, for CAS style projects and decided to give it a try. This is out of my comfort zone so it's indeed a challenge.

The theme is optional twist Christmas in July. I also made a couple other CAS cards shown below.

Entering this Christmas card in the challenge.

I'm quite pleased with the way they turned out, I still feel like bling is needed so I put my crafty goodies away and stopped with these.

Party boxes

wedding favor boxes and more.

With the heat and humidity here in NY and no A/C my craft room is lonely.  I have some goodies to craft with that require no electric...loving the fun things I can still make.

Using my SCOR-PAL and one amazing tutorial Lois-Fold-Over box... I made my version of a Wedding box or wedding bridesmaid as it shall be.

My version....

I love the way it turned out and this box can be used for so many gift ideas, thank you SCOR-PAL and for the tutorials on your site.

Now did you know SCOR- PAL also has a challenge blog?  I found it while looking and admiring the many blogs on the net. 

So...here I go to enter my box in the current SCOR-PAL challenge July #61....Anything goes with more than one score which my project has.

Wish me luck.....blessings and hugs, Lori m 

Getting hot...

hot... hot!  What better time to join in a Tropical Challenge over at Double D's Challenges!

So...I created a tropical card using my Cricut Maker and some print and cut designs from the Cricut Design Center.

Here goes my entry....

Entering Double D's Tropical challenge....like on my sidebar.

Happy Weekend to all.....blessings and hugs, Lori m

Purse....

gift boxes, party favors???

Today, I decided to make a little gift box for the challenge over at The Outlaws Tuesday Color Challenge rather than my usual cards.

A Day For Daisies is closing it doors and they are sponsoring this challenge before they go.

 Hurry on over to The Outlaws Challenges for a chance to win some amazing digi's. After that... be sure to stop on over to A Day For Daisies, fill your cart up before they close up shop....you won't be sorry.

Choose 3 colors from the beautiful palette and twist is to use a flower. 

The design team has put together some amazing designs for inspiration, that always helps me get my mojo rolling.

Here's my entry for the challenge.

In honor of the challenge sponsor A Day For Daises....I decided to use a couple of their images on my box.

The purse svg. cutting design is one I've collected over time and I added a front cut out circle so that I could showcase the adorable little bird.

That's it for today...enjoy, blessings and hugs, Lori m

Having fun....

with my We R Memories quil foil pen and some cute designs from Imagine That Digi's!

I used my Baby Mermaid outline this time rather than my favorite print and cut.  Love, love, love the different effects.

I chose black card stock and rose gold quil pen foil for this card. I'm liking the versatility in crafting lately, guess, I get bored quickly lol.

Pretty cool I think, I cut this design on my Cricut Maker and used the thinnest quil pen rather than going a little thicker to fill in more.  Added some seashore underwater beach card stock and done.

Guess other than mostly white this would be a Lori m Clean and Simple card lol.

Entering in challenge over at Imagine That Digi's.

Happy early 4th of July, stay well and safe everyone.

Blessings and hugs, Lori m
