Cricut Cardz Challenge #115 Color Me Happy

This week's Cricut Cardz Challenge is such a fun one.  Mary asked the DT to design with the theme Color Me Happy using the colors Red, Blue and Yellow.  You could also have small amounts, for accent, of white and black.  I jumped at the chance to use my new Simple Stories Summer 6x6 paper pad that I recently purchased from Archiver's.  Lots of red, yellow and blue going on in this pad.  I just love the Simple Stories paper pads.  They come with different design elements not just paper.  This makes them really great for putting together journaling/photo books (such as Smash or Fancy Pants Brag Books).  I've been working on a book since last year when hubby and I sold our home and moved into our fifth wheel for the full time RV lifestyle.  We left Michigan last September and spent some time traveling until we landed in Florida for the winter so I've been trying to document our journey.  Right now we're back in northern Michigan enjoying all that the state offers in summer fun.  That's what I originally bought this paper pad for, but it also works great for cardmaking.  Here I combined some Cricut cuts with the papers and elements for a bright, cheerful card.  The elements that I cut from the pad are the ticket stub to the left of the star and the words to the right of the star.  You can find the rest of my list of ingredients at the end of this post.  I hope you can join our challenge this week and create something that makes you happy using the colors RED, YELLOW AND BLUE and link up your creation on the Cardz TV blog.

I'd also like to take a minute to tell you about the Cardz TV Stamps Blog Hop coming up on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 1st & 2nd.  (Holy cow, can you believe it's September and Labor Day weekend.  I sure can't.)  The Design Team will be featuring the new stamp set Brew HaHa!   In case you missed the little sneak peak I gave a couple weeks ago on Cardz TV Stamps here is a pic of my creation using the set. 

This set is going to be a hot seller, especially for those of you who love coffee or a wee spot of tea.  Well, now you'll be able to see the whole design team's creations using the set. So make sure you stop back at Cardz TV on Friday to take part in this fun blog hop for a chance to win two sets of Cardz TV Stamps. There will be some member's of the DT giving away blog candy, too, (hint hint) so you won't want to miss anyone's post.  Thanks for coming by today and I hope you'll visit again on Friday.  My creation for the blog hop will feature a project using the Brew HaHa! set with a theme other than what it's meant for (coffee or tea).  I think it's always fun to know that you can take a whole other meaning than what's expected when using a stamp.
