Candy Milk Carton

Hello all. Just a friendly reminder that you have one more day to enter the Card-Ideas challenge:

ABC -123

That means Anything But a Card with 1 Ribbon, 2 Patterned Papers, 3 Buttons

I used the Milk Carton Sizzix die through my Cuttlebug - I don't quite have the right "sandwich" so if you have it, please share! I cut the purple paper just as a band and sewed that in place. The ribbon I cut to look like grass for my Designed2Delight Stitched Bloom colored with copics.

Thank you for stopping by today and taking a peek at my ABC!

I forgot to mention - this held candy (thus my title: Candy Milk Carton) and was added to Bean's Easter Basket. She emptied it and asked me to put in a glittery rainbow. I'm glad she never asks me for the impossible :)

Snail Fun

Hello all and Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter Weekend. Ours was super busy with 3 Easter Egg hunts! Yes, 3! It wasn't our intention, it just worked out that way.

Today I'm sharing a card using Snail 1 from Just Some Lines. I like snails because they can be used for many occasions. I didn't include a sentiment and figure I'll add one when I'm ready to send this out.

I guess I liked the whole flourish thing from last weeks card and gave it another try. Using Accent Essentials Cricut Cart at 4", I think it makes a good little distraction to the layout from Eat Sleep Stamp. I added a few homemade pearls just for the fun of it!

Of course, a close up. So thank you for visiting today and hope you enjoyed today's post. Back to research - just a couple more weeks till finals and I'll get a chance to relax!

Edit: so much for auto post!

Spring Bird

Hello and Happy Saturday! Nothing like a weekend to recharge and craft! Also on Saturday, a new challenge is made at Catch the Bug:

APRIL SHOWERS

I'm using Spring Bird and lots of pink! I really wanted the umbrella to "pop" so I made it a little MORE pink than the DP. The sentiment is a $1 Michael's acrylic set. I added a little sewing and glaze - and "grandma" should receive this in the mail today (Bean loves mailing out cards)!

Show us your April Showers creations at Catch the Bug and have a GREAT weekend. I'm off to an egg hunt!

This meets the following challenges:

• Ladybug Crafts Ink - #24 Anything Goes
• Splitcoaststampers - layout SC122
• Creative Card Crew - Spring

Fancy Dress

Hello all! Today at Bugaboo is:

FREEBIE FRIDAY

And who can resist this little charmer?

Yes, this "Brat" is all dressed up in a fancy dress, and is free for the taking. I love the Brat line and hoped to make something clean and simple. Just some sewing and sentiment stamp is Stampin' Ups Short & Sweet. The layout is Splitcoaststampers SC23.

So don't forget to pick up your freebie!! Thank you for visiting and have a great weekend!

Wonder Woman Birthday

Hello all and Happy Thursday. Today I want to share with you the card I made for my brother's upcoming birthday. He LOVES Wonder Woman...but really, let's just admit that Lynda Carter is one hot lady!

Yup, big brother will be turning 49! When this image was released by Bugaboo, I knew immediately what I was going to do with it! DP is Pink Petticoat, sewing, and Opposites Attract Cricut Cart for the 49 (cut at 1.25").

I hope you can see the glittery and glossy goodness in this pic! I just added a few things here and there. So next week we will celebrate with enchiladas and cake and I hope he LOVES his card! Thanks for the visit!

This meets the following challenges:

• Craft Your Passion - #54 You've Been Spotted

• Card Patterns - Sketch #111
• Tuesday Throwdown - Polka Dots
  

Flourishes

Hello all and hope you are having a great week! I want to share a card with you today using a freebie from Just Some Lines. Who is Just Some Lines? Well, I'll give you a hint: I'm on hew new design team! I debated over whether or not to apply (with it being so close to finals and my back issues - btw, seems I have arthritis at the ripe ol' age of 38!!). In the end, I applied and was accepted!

So, I am NOT a flourish type of person. I have tried and failed MANY times. I LOVE the look on other people's work, but just can't seem to incorporate it into my own. Last night I was determined - using Accent Essentials Cricut Cart at 3" (flip). With help from Jay, this is my final product. Watcha think?

So I hope you enjoy my future creations using Just Some Lines stamps! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day.

This meets the following challenges:

• Paper-crafting Journey - #8 Use a Freebie
• Anything Goes - #39 Colour Challenge - Pink & Brown (one of my faves!)
