Who Loves Thumper?!!!!

Ok.... who doesn't love Thumper?!?!!? I adore him!!!!! He is one of my favorite Disney characters!

I got my Disney Classic cartridge and honestly..... just looking at it made me yawn!! Seriously!! All those little pieces!! ugh!! I confess..... I am one of those that sees a Disney cart and just HAS TO HAVE IT!!! and I end up not using it AT ALL!!!! Like the princess ones and Toy Story!! But, when I saw Thumper, well... I thought of Emma's stamps! 

Here is what I came up with! I used DCWV Doodlin' Around Stack and the "Color Me Happy" stamp set!




Thank you for taking a peek!!!

Family Friday Healthy Snacks!

Well, I am posting my last Family Friday :( Crazy About Cricut decided to make some awesome changes to her Family Fridays and those changes conflict with my other DTs. So, I have to step down! I will still have my kids do crafty things with me because this was one DT that brought my kids and I together a little more! 

So this time around was doing something with healthy snacks. I know I have my Cricut Cake, but all that baking, well... is a little far from healthy :)

So, with that in mind, I had Abbita play with my Lupita (Gypsy) and we created some fruits!! She is learning all the fruit names and well, she calls everything a banana or apple!! LOL 

Here is what we created!








Here is what we did!

Fruits were cut from the Preserves Cartridge
All fruits were Peachified with the Everyday Face Assortment
I laminated them and placed a little piece of magnet

I placed them on the fridge and Abbita gets to play with and learn at the same time!

How is that for a healthy snack! No calories there!! hehehe

Thanks for taking a peek and a MILLION thanks to Jenny for having me as part of her DT!!!

My Creative Time's "You Had Me At Chocolate" stamps

Happy Thursday everyone!!! I got my Wrap It up cart in the mail today!!! I won it for $16.50 on ebay!! Opened it up and as soon as I saw this beautiful bride, I knew I had to do something with her! Well, have I said enough that Emma's stamps are AWESOME!!! They are!!! Even if you are tight on money and can't decide weather to buy another stack of paper ( to add to the 30 you already have and don't want to use cause they're too cute!) or maybe another cart (that you will not use for months!) You have to treat yourself to Emma's stamps!! 

Here is my card! I used the "You had me at Chocolate" set and DCWV paper!



Don't kill me about my gluing on this doll!!! It was SMALL!!!!! :)

Thanks for taking a peek!!!
