Challenge #111 At Papercutz

I think I know why they call these challenges! This was one that was really hard for me. This weeks challenge at Papercutz is called Shake, Rattle and Roll. You are to make a Halloween card, layout, or papercraft using a digital, stamped, or cricut image of a skeleton or skull and crossbones, but make it CUTE not Spooky!!! Not sure how to make a cute skull and crossbones, but this is my card this week. I used the cartridge Rock Princess for it and I used paper from Hobby Lobby and bazzill cardstock and pearls and gems from Kaiser Crafts. Join us this week and let us see your cute creations!!

Challenges for this week!

This weeks challenge over at Papercutz is to make a Fall card, layout, or papercraft using buttons! We love using buttons in our projects. I decided on a fall page and used buttons under the title and around the picture mats with leaves. I love this paper from Reminisce with the perfect fall colors! Join us this week with your creations.
I am also entering this page into Fantabulous Cricut's and CookingwithCricut challenges too!

I got a new set of stamps I love!

I had to have this cute set of stamps from over at GinaK's called Holiday Basket! It has some really cute flowers to add to this adorable basket! I just had to do a couple quick, and I mean quick cards. Not much thought just wanted to play a little. I used colored pencils and blending pen for the coloring. Sorry pictures are not so great, my lighting is not good today for some reason.

Some more cards!

I have been working on a few more cards this week and need to get my project finished for the DT this week. I used mostly scraps and even the small pieces can be used! Thanks for taking the time to look at my projects.

Got a little crafting done

This has been one of those weeks you do not wish on anyone. My brother-in-law passed away suddenly at age 46 in his sleep and it has been very emotional for the family. I like to deal with grief in a positive way by crafting and was able to do a few projects this week. I have a friend who is a local priest and he loves when I give him cards to send and he let me know that he needs some more cards, so I am busy making him some. Love that I can use scraps and not waste anything. Here is some things I made the the last couple days.

Challenge #109 at Paper Cutz

This week at PaperCutz, the challenge is to use a digital or cricut image of a ghost using only the colors of white, black, orange and purple! I used the CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge for the box and the tag and the ghost are from PaperDolls. I am loving the new CTMH and it is such a great cartridge and well worth the money for all that comes with it. If you would like to have this cartridge and I have a great friend who sells CTMH and will have her get in touch with you. I plan on making some of these for some special little people. Great for your kids school treats too. Join us this week so I can enjoy all those cute little ghost projects you create!!!

Another challenge week!

This weeks challenge at Papercutz, is to create a layout, card, or papercraft using pumpkin either from your cricut, digital image, or stamp in any theme or color you would like. I decided on a card using a stamp from DRS designs. I love this stamp because it totally says fall like this weather we are having is telling me before I am totally ready! Join us this week and show us your creation. Check out my Etsy store for some new items I just added! Have a super weekend!

Designers Challenge this week!

Happy Friday, y'all! This weeks challenge over at Papercutz is a Designers Challenge and I am lucky enough to be the DT member that got to pick the challenge for this week. My challenge is to make a zoo related card, layout, or papercraft using at least 2 animals, dimension and bling! My project is a page for my granddaughters first trip to the zoo. I do have the second page started but was not completed when I prepared this post. I made the heads on the animals dimensionized and added bling and stickles to the title. I used Animal Kingdom and Create a Critter for my project. I also used new Bo Bunny papers and bazzill cardstock. Please join us this week and let the wild animal in you take over!!!
