New Creative Craft Challenge

Hello!  Are you ready to play some Tic Tac Toe?  It's game time over at Creative Craft Challenges!  Here's the gameboard:

 

This week we have two great sponsors! 

  and

 

 

I chose the middle line, Gems, Flowers, Ivory and made this card with some scraps and precuts that were on my work desk.

 

I found the kraft mat that I had already used the corner punch on and the lable cut from Winter Woodland that were both laying on the desk.  I mounted them onto a card base and rounded the corners of it.  Then I added some Prima Flowers and cut the butterfly from Cricut Ultimate Creative Sampler 3 times, adding some gems to it.   The flowers already had gems in their centers.  The stems in the flowers are from........well, I can't remember what cartridge those were on!  :p

I stamped the frame and sentiment with a  Just Rite stamp set, turning the frame on a corner.  I embossed the stamps with Copper embossing powder.

Here you can see the shine of the copper embossing powder.  I finished out the card with a strip and a knotted bow of dark brown ribbon.

So there it is!  Now what do you say you head on over to Creative Craft Challenges, check out all the great inspiration there and then join in the game!  See you there!

Halloween Step Card

 Hi!  Today I have my second Halloween card I need for grandkids.  I only need 3, so I'm almost there!  Halloween is not really a holiday I celebrate, but my grandkids still like to get cards for it and it's a reason to work in my craft room!  I sure have been having a hard time getting some crafting time lately, so I'm tickled to get another one done.
                                                                                                                                                    
For this one I chose to make a  side step card.  It took me awhile to recall the dimensions for scoring the folds. All the
papers used are from scraps.

 This super tree cut is from Simply Scarecrows and the sentiment is from Ultimate Creative Sampler.   All other cuts are from Paper Doll Dress Up.  I added some little pieces of twine in the tree to resemble mossy webs hanging down. 

 I added a Jack-O-Lantern die cut from my stash, a few marker accents and there you go!  A fun and easy card to make!

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope your week is full of blessings and you see God working this week!

Marvelous Monograms at My Sheri Crafts

Hello and Happy Saturday! Welcome to my blog and another challenge at My Sheri Crafts!  For this challenge we are to make monogram cards or a special project with lots of style.  For my project I chose to alter a 5x7 journal I bought in the $1 bins at Michaels. 

The original cover had a circus theme.  I should have taken a "before" picture, but I didn't have my camera downstairs with me. The glittery patterned paper is from K and Co. 

I cut the "S" from Winter Woodland at 2 3/4" and covered the top layer with glitter.  The rosette border is a Paper Studio punch.

 

This intricate butterfly is on the Cricut Ultimate Creative Sampler Cartrige, Bonus key 3 with the shift key, cut at 1".  It's actually cut from dark purple, even though it looks blue here.

 This satin ribbon was tied on a set of sheets I bought!  I glued the ribboon to the back of the book and added a little piece of velcro behind the bow to hold the book shut.

On the inside, I just added some light blue paper.

    

All the funky neon green is because my camera started acting up again.  I wish I knew why it's doing this!  Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't!

Now it's your turn!  Get monogramming and join us at My Sheri Crafts!  You may be our next guest designer!

Hugs & Kisses!

Hello!  Thanks for stopping by today!  I have a card I would like to share with you that I made this afternoon just to enter into a few challenges.  I used the sketch from Whoopsi Daisy's challenge for this week: 

And here is my card:

 This little cutie is from Whoopsi Daisy and I colored her with Crayola colored pencils.  The circle was cut with Creative Memories circle cutter at 4" and is mounted on a cut from Lacy Lables.  The ribbon behind the ilabel is a Disney Tinkerbell and butterflies print bought at Wal-Mart.  The butterfly is cut from the Cricut Ultimate Creative cartridge. 

The dotted paper is from The Paper Studio.  As you can see, my camera is still acting up and adding some neon colors here and there!   >:( 

 This stamp is from Studio G and stamped on a piece of scrap that I cut with scalloped scissors.

This inside stamp is also from Studio G and the paper is a cut that is preloaded on the Imagine.  The challenge over at My Craft Spot is to have a sentiment both inside and out.  Otherwise I probably wouldn't have posted this picture--the camera really looks bad here. 

Anyway, I really like the card in real life!  It was fun to put together and I hope you like it.  Thanks for checking in!  Oh yeah---Tim agrees that I need to go camera shopping!!!!!
