More Play Time

Hello again.  Dinner is over, all I have to do is clean the dishes.  But I am on a roll, so I wanted to play around in my craftroom.

I have so many cards to cut that I purchased from Silhouette Online.  It is hard to say no, when I see one I like.  This is one of those cards.  I like how simple it is.  I don't do many CAS cards, usually I have lots of layers.

I cut two of the cards.  One with plain white cardstock and one with a pattern paper.  I put the ribbon under the snowflake.  I wanted the snowflake to be whole and then I added one of my homemade perler beads.  So elegant looking.

I am going to use this card in the following challenges:
  Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
  Artistic Inspirations - Anything Goes
   Really Reasonable Ribbon - Winter Holidays
   CAS on Sunday - Ribbon or Twine
   3 Girls Jam - Holiday with Ribbon

Off to clean the kitchen again.  Be back soon.

One More

Hello again.  My sister and I made one more card.

I saw this fox by Lori Whitlock and he was just so cute.  I don't know who I am going to send him to, but some one will get him.

It was a really quck and easy card.  Just three colors besides the card itself.

I am going to use him in the following challenges:
   Treasured Times - Anything Goes
   613 Ave Create - Anything Goes
   Love To Create - Anything Goes


I am off to straighten the kitchen and then start dinner.  I am hoping to be back later tonight.  But just in case...Have a good one.

Christmas Cards

Hello.  How is everyone doing?  It has been busy around here.  Plus I am having trouble with my internet connection.  Hopefully that will be fixed this week.

I still have a couple of title pieces that I want to make into shaped cards.  So today, I decided to make one of them up.  I choose the Be Merry Title card by Miss Kate Cuttables (I got it off Silhouette Online).  It was really quick and easy.

I didn't cut the two layers of berries.  I cut the bottom one and then added glitter.  I just love how the card came out.

I am going to enter it in the following challenges:
   Crafty Sentiments - Sparkle
   Paper Take Weekly - Anything Goes
   Through The Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
   Tuesday Throwdown - Shaped Cards
   Dream Valley - Christmas
   Creative Card Crew - Christmas Joy
   Pile It On - Special Occasion
   Sparkle N Sprinkle - November Challenge

Hopefully, my internet will continue to work and I will be back with something else later.  Have a great afternoon.

Halloween

Hello again.  Just when I was getting ready to stop for the night, my sister called.  We haven't had a lot of time online lately, so while we were talking I decided to go ahead and but out this Halloween card.  I know Halloween is over, but I still have a few challenges to do.

I saw a similar card on Pinterest and I thought it would be a good card to make.  I will jsut put it in my pile for next year.

Looking at the picture, it looks like the ghost is cut and put on top of the white card, but that isn't right.  I cut the ghost of the top card and used foam tape to put it on the white background.  I may have to retake this picture from a different angle.

I am going to use the card in the following challenges:
   Creative Card Crew - Bows
   Artistic Inspiration - Anything Goes
   CASology - Ghost
   Craft Your Passion - Trick or Treat
   Crafty Sentiments - Trick or Treat
   Die Cuttin Divas - Halloween
   Crafting By Design - Halloween
   PINspirational Challenges - Halloween
   Chocolate Coffee Cards - Halloween

Have a good night and don't forget to change your clocks if you live in Daylight Savings Time.

Winter Time

Hello.  Can you believe it is the first of November?  I can't.  Where has this year gone? As predicted, we got snow for the first time this winter.  Luckily there wasn't much of it.  But it made it cold for all of the trick-or-treaters.

In honor of the first snow, I made a Christmas/Winter card.  I only cut one because I wasn't sure if it would come out the way I had it envisioned.  But it did.  So now I am going to have to go back and cut some more.

The card came from Silhouette Online.  It was suppose to have a rabbit in the background but I didn't think the size was right, but I wanted to put some thing on the front.  I originally was going to put a snowman where the little boy is (he is from Whimsie Doodles), but once I saw the boy in my digital stamp folder, I had to cut him out. 

I am going to use the card in the following challenges:
   Pile It On - Make a Scene
   Fab N Funky - Christmas
   Penny's Challenges - Anything Goes
   Through The Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
   Anything Goes with a Twist - Dark
   Brown Sugar Challenges - Anything Goes

Have a great night.  I am off to cut a few more.

Cut It Up

Hello and Happy Halloween.  It is challenge time over at Cut It Up.  The last two weeks went fast and we got some great projects entered.  Thank you to every one that made a project to enter.

The theme for the next two weeks is Tags!  Use more than one tag on your card, layout, or project.  The challenge is sponsored by Pretty Cute Stamps.  The winner will receive a $15 gift certificate.

For my tags, I layered them on top of each other. It is hard to see but there is a black tag and then the white one and the gray slanted tag. 

I kept the card simple since the tag was so big. 

Have a great Halloween!!!

From The Heart

Hello.  I hope everyone has had a great weekend.

After work today, I decided to make a card using the From The Heart sketch challenge.  This week, it was pick any sketch from their site.  I picked one that was already used by the design team.  It is a simple layout, but you can add to it.  Which is what I did, I added the twine and the brads.  The image is the Broom Flying Birdbrain.  Perfect for Halloween.



I am going to use it in the following challenges:
   From The Heart - Sketch Any Past Sketch
   Craft Your Passion - Bingo
   Clear It Out - Halloween with Black & Oranges
   Delightful Challenges - 3 is Not a Crowd
   Wags N Whiskers - Stripes
   Repeat Impressions - Leftovers
   Milk Coffee Challenges - Halloween
   A Gem of a Challenge - Halloween

Have a good night and start of the week.
