Die Cuttin Divas Challenge 6


Challenge #6 is up at Die Cuttin Divas. This week the challenge is to make a baby card and include an animal cut on it. I used up some scraps of an old Colorbok line cutting the letters from A Child's Year and the bunny from Winter Woodland. I love that the cartridge includes cuts that can be used all year long. So hop on over to Die Cuttin Divas for a little more inspiration and then show us what is sure to be your super cute take on this challenge.

CPS #207


I'm excited to share with you all that I was chosen for the new DT at Just Imagine Crafts distributors of the fantastic Kreaxions line of punches. I love their punches because of the unique 4 in 1 system that allows a single punch to have two corner and two border designs. They are priced similar to many border punches I've seen but offer 4 times the function perfect for someone who likes to get a lot of bang for their buck. I'm sure you'll be hearing more about these punches from me soon but I wanted to share a card using the most basic feature of the punches. I created this rather simple card for the latest sketch at CPS using one of the corner features of the 913 Lilly Punch. I punched three small square on each corner creating fun decorative squares that were easily finished off with gems and a sentiment.

Die Cuttin Divas Challenge 5


The new challenge is up at Die Cuttin Divas! This week is a sketch challenge so if you have any type of die cutting system play along by following the sketch and including a cut. I'm loving all the participants' takes and I can't wait to visit your blog when you play along.

SEI Layout Challenge


This month SEI issued a layout challenge to go with their end of the month link party. I decided this Easter picture went great with the Bridgeport collection and fit the sketch cause I had just one photo. I was fortunate to win this collection from Paper Crafts over a year ago and I received the stickers, chipboard, rub-ons, letter stickers, and papers so this LO came together super easy. I'm excited to visit the others on the link party!
Just a reminder: Die Cuttin Divas has a super easy and very fun silhouette challenge that ends Monday so pull out your die cut machine and get to work.

Jingle Belles 9


The Jingle Belles "Text Me" challenge came together quite easily for me when I remembered this great frame rub-on with the text feature. I layered on some more fun rub-ons cause I want to use them before they get old (I've lost some rub-ons to age). The sentiment is fun text too with the mix of big and little and the curve plus I added a gem to make the word element stand out.

Die Cuttin Divas Challenge 4


Die Cuttin Divas has a fun and simple challenge this week. Simply use a silhouette on your project. I loved how this meant I could use almost any image from any cartridge. I'm in love with the A Child's Year cartridge. This cartridge is perfect for card makers especially because it has every holiday and also other occasions. I chose this fun cupcake silhouette because I could always use another birthday card. I used Cosmo Cricket Girl Friday papers and a Hero Arts sentiment. I'll be looking out for what you create for this challenge. I've been blown away with the great entires over the past few weeks and enjoy visiting all the blogs to comment.
