Hello Everybody!
Happy June 1st to everybody! This month a year ago I started my little spot on the Internet. I can't believe how fast a year goes by, can you?
I want to thank all of my Cut and Paste Pals! I'm so glad to have you here! Also, I want to thank my Husband Chris for encouraging me to share my passion and projects with the world. And I thank Google for having free blogs! :)
So to kick off this month of celebration -- I am going to have a challenge. I need inspiration for making my Fourth of July/Independence Day cards. This challenge is opened to everybody worldwide. I know not everyone celebrates this holiday-sooo your challenge is to make a card celebrating your country's special day. If you could also give an explanation about your holiday-that would be extra cool. I would love to learn about your part of the world :)
So here's the deal:
1. Gotta be a Cut and Paste Pal
2. Deadline June 28th, Thursday at Midnight EST
3. Fourth of July Card/or Patriotic Day (you can do other projects but cards are what I'm really looking for)
4. Must be a new project-no backlinking please

Baby Girl Card-A Die Cut Challenge
Hello Everybody!
It's time for another challenge to celebrate my 1 year Blogiversary! Tonight I made a card using my Cricut. I was thinking about how die cuts get left by the wayside sometimes. Well-not tonight my friends! Either make some or get out the pre-made ones because that is what this challenge is about! You can distress them, glitter them, what ever your heart desires-just let me know which is the die cut just in case! :) And letters don't really count here.
So here's the deal:
1. Gotta be a Cut and Paste Pal
2. Deadline June 28th, Thursday at Midnight EST
3. Use a Die Cut for a card, scrapbook page, altered project, etc. (Letters don't count but images do!)
3.5 You can used punches too (and any die cut machine you have) :)
4. Must be a new project-no backlinking please
5. Link back to www.iliketocutandpaste.blogspot.com and encourage your friends to play!
6. Feel free to combine with other challenges
7. Link as many times as you like!
8. Have fun! :)
Here is my card using a die cut:
The baby is from New Arrivals on the Cricut. I used Cotton Candy Stickles on her bow and diaper. The sentiment is from Little Yellow Bicycle. And the rattle is from a button set.
And the prize! The prize is this set of stamps from Jenni Bowlin and a package of die cuts from Girl's Paperie. I will mail this Internationally so everyone can play!
Until next time my friends...link up those creations!

Earth Day? Let's make it a Week!
Hello Everybody!
I had this idea in my head today, and I thought I should try to make it happen. Sunday is Earth Day. And although everyday should be Earth Day, why not make it Earth week?
So today is Monday (what's left of it) and I am going to share some Earth Day goodness with you-and everyday up until Sunday. How fun!
Recycle, upcycle, reuse, reduce--all words associated with Earth Day. However, they are also trendy right now.
I created a card reusing things that might end up in either the trash or recycle bin.
I am linking this card to Simon Says Stamp and Show--Anything Goes!
Now if your good and bring your Earth bags to the grocery store, you are AWESOME! I forget them most of the time. However, sometimes I can get paper bags. The background is from a piece of Whole Foods paper bag. I ran it through my Cuttlebug and embossed it. Free kraft paper! The pieces of the bag that I can't use, I can put into the recycle bin. The twine here is from Ikea. We must have had to tie something, and I couldn't throw it away.
The tree stamp is from Imaginance and the sentiment is from G Studio. I used distress inks and water on my tag (I LOVE that technique-so easy!) On the paper bag paper and my green strip (Recollections cardstock) I inked with black ink.
Here's a close up. I used Sprinkle N Sparkle embossing powder-sienna star on the tree. That is one of the most beautiful embossing powders I have ever used. So sparkly! I got it in a sample, and I am gonna have to get some more of it!
So all of this excitement has inspired me to host my very first challenge here!
The Challenge: Create a card or tag using 2 recycled or upcycled things. Please list them in your post.
When: You have until midnight EST Earth Day-Sunday, April 22nd to link your creation
Prize: I don't know yet, but I (and possibly the help of my husband) will pick one creation to send something to. However, I can only send the prize to residents of the US. My apologies to my international friends, I'm sure you understand.
The Catch: You do have to be a follower of I Like to Cut and Paste :)
This needs to be a new creation-no backlinking
Please link your project-not your whole blog
