Making It Sparkle!

Good Morning!  It's time for another new challenge at Tuesday Throwdown!  This week we are sponsored by 

and our theme this week is "Make It Sparkle"!  

I've used Honey Bee Stamps "Country Wreath" digi stamp, colored it with pencils then added some glitter glue.  The background paper is The Paper Studio's "Barnwood Pretty", one of my favorite pads!  You know how you have one of those pads of paper that you love so much you hate to use them?  Yup!  That's it!  I just want to keep thumbing through the pad and look at it instead of using it!

Thanks for checking in!  Please come join us this week!

I'M BACK IN MY CRAFTROOM!!

Finally!!!  Our move is complete and I have my craftroom set up again! Whew!  Talk about withdrawal!  When I get all the last boxes empty and put away, I'll post some pictures of my new space.  But for now, I'm finally back to joining my Design Teams!  Yeah!

This week at Tuesday Throwdown we are sponsored by    and our challenge theme is "Make Your Own Background".  I've been wanting to try the shaving cream technique, so I did and here's my card:

"What Cancer Cannot Do" is from our sponsor and I've cut it out with a Spellbinders die.  The other diecuts are Cricut Cuts.  

Thanks for stopping by and I'll get back in the groove of posting soon, I hope!  Be sure to head over to Tuesday Throwdown and join us!

Sweet Speedy Recovery Wish

Hey folks!   This week at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday our theme is Anything Goes with the twist "Add Flowers!"  We are sponsored this month by 
                                  

I used our sponsor's image "Pretty Flower Girl" to make a sweet get-well card.  

The image is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and mounted on a Cricut Cut doilie.   It doesn't show up very well, but there is also a strip of lace just above the label.  The sentiment stamp is from Son Light and stamped on a Cricut cut label.  I just inked up the first word for the outside and used the rest on the inside. The paper is from a freebie pack from a papercrafting magazine.  The flower is actually two different ones, both are from The Paper Studio.

I've finished the inside very simply, but it turned out kind of pretty!  I really like that paper!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us this week!

Twisted Thursday - Besties

Today is the day for another challenge at The Outlawz !  We are sponsored again this week by 

Challenges in our Twisted Thursday group are always Anything Goes with an Optional twist!  This week the twist is "Add A Sentiment". Easy peasy right?

My image is colored with Spectrum Noir markers and punched it out with a Spellbinders die.  The greenery is a Sissix die and the flower is from The Paper Studio.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you'll join us this week!

"Get Well Soon" Paper Lace card

It's Thursday and that means a new challenge at The Outlawz Twisted Thursday!  We are sponsored this week by The Outlawz!  This month's prize is a Spellbinders Nestabilities set, so you will sure want to join in!  Challenges in our Twisted Thursday group are always Anything Goes with an Optional twist!  This week the twist is "Anything Goes".

My card this week is another "made it in minutes" card, but not quite as CAS.  

The card base is another cut from Cricut's Paper Lace cartridge.  I LOVE that cartridge!  I duplicated and welded the background cut to form the card.  The top layer had "Thank You" cut out of the center, so I welded a rectangle over that to make it solid in the center.  The "Get Well Soon" is also a Paper Lace cut.  The digi is the Freebie Progressive Challenge image  at The Outlaws from the February challenge.  It's a Sandi Samples image, colored with Spectrum Noir markers.  I've mounted that onto two doilie cuts from Spellbinders Dies.

I am absolutely LOVING my new Cricut Explore machine!!!!  This card's overall size is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4, so the sentiment is only about 1" tall and look how perfectly it cut, and my mat is even an old one!  I can tell you if I had cut that on my Expression using that old mat, this would have been a wadded up mess!

Thank you for stopping by to visit today!  I hope you enjoyed my card.  Now please head over the The Outlawz Twisted Thursday and join in the fun!  You can find a challenge for every day of the week at The Outlawz!

Creative Crafts Challenge - For The Kids!

Hello and Happy Tuesday!  It's time for another challenge at Creative Crafts Challenges and this week we have two wonderful sponsors -      

For my card this week I've used an image from Doodle Dragon and made a Get Well card.

This is the first time I've used a pre-colored image, but I was running short on time to get this ready for the DT post.  Isn't he cute?

 The sentiment is computer generated and I hand cut the banner.  The ribbon is some I've had in my stash for a looooong time.

The stamp is from Stampabilities and all the ovals were

cut with the Creative Memories oval cutting system.

Very simple, but I think it made a cute card.  Thanks for checking in today and be sure to head over to Creative Craft Challenges to check out the rest of the team's inspiration.  Then join us!  See you again soon!
