For my Friend card

So for some reason this card looks much better in person than in the photo.  Anyway it was for a couple of challenges.  One for Sweet Sunday Sketch # 84 and the other is for the Cuttlebug's birthday challenge #100. 

CCC Challenge # 41

This week we have a challenge on CCC to make a fall card, without using brown, orange, or yellow. Wow is that hard. I did not realize how much I love my brown. I think I use it on most things I make.

All cuts are from Paperdoll dress up. I hope you play along with this challenge at CCC.  There are some beautiful cards from the other designers.  Go take a look, I think it will inspire you to make a fall card.

Princess Castle Card

Seems like one of my kids has a princess party to go to from time to time. So I thought I would have a card ready to go. This is for the Mojo Monday # 155 Challenge and for Paper play time # 15.

The  pattern paper is from DCWV - The Sweet Mat
Dark Pink is CTMH Hollyhock and the other is from my scrap pile.

 I like this layout.  I think it is pretty cute.  Hope you enjoy it too.

Spider card with joke

So what type of sentiment do you put with a spider card? I just couldn't think of anything I really liked so I did a joke instead. What fun this card was to make. I used stickles on the spider and glossy accents on the web. Web and spider both cut from Paperdolls dress up. I did this for a challenge for Mary at Cardz TV.

Hedgehog hello card

I started this hedgehog for something else that just did not work out with her, but she was too cute to get rid of, so I saved her and then I saw the papecutz challenge # 57 and I knew it was time to finish up heggie. The challenge there was to use one ribbon, two buttons, and three colors. I chose the colors: brown, cream, and purple.

The cool frame is from an online photo editor called Picnik.  The free version has some good options. 

These are some of my favorite things

I love pink. I love brown. I love cards. I love flowers and ribbon. I love glitter and crafting. These are some of my favorite things.

I made this card for a challenge I just found this week at Jitterbuggin. They had a cute tutorial link on how to make this folding frame. This is a card that I would not mail. It would cost extra, since it is pretty thick. The flower in the center is 4 layers of foam tape. One between each layer and the base.

All the paper, but the pattern paper is from Papertrey Ink. The flower is cut from Sweet Treats. The center of the flower has glitter on the petals and the center I used the cuttlebug tiny bubbles.

I also thought I would submit this for the cuttlebug challenge, where the theme is pink for My Pink Stamper. She has some new great stamps out that I think I might have to invest in soon. Hope you enjoy.

Money envelopes

I had fun making these envelopes for some kids I teach at church tomorrow. The lesson is on the principle of a tithe. In order to reinforce the concept. I made money envelopes for each child. It is very much based on the Dave Ramsey system for those who are aware of it.

Any way I did not have an envelope, so I designed it using only George on my gypsy. It is so very cute. I love it. I hot glued Velcro on and think it turned out great. Let me know if you want the cut file. I would be happy to share.

CCMC114 - Sketch Challenge

I saw this sketch and knew immediately that I wanted to try it. I would like to try it again with smaller and solid ribbon for a different look. The flowers are glitter and cuttlebugged with a stone in the middle.  Flowers are cut from Create a critter.  I made this for a challenge at CCMC # 114.

Farm card

I just love this barn in the Everyday paper dolls cart. The turkey and ducks came from Animal Kingdom. The grass and fence from Dress up paper dolls. The tree is from Stretch your imaginations. The clouds came from a varity of carts. It was pretty time consuming to put it all together, but it was fun to make.
It reminds me of the farm I grew up on, where we had wild turkeys, duck and chickens.  For a small bit of time we had goats, sheep and horses too.  We didn't have the cool red barn, but oh well.  I am glad to live in town now. Too much work to own a farm.  I would never have time for crafting and that would be too sad. 

Scallop card

I have seen some cute scallop circle cards. They are sooo cute. I am excited that I finally made one. I did this one for Monday Mojo Challenge 154. It also fit the Cricut Cutz Challenge # 40 of scalloped circles and squares. My final thought was to also  use only black and white and one other color, so I could enter it into Momo's challenge # 31 this week. I have never done three challenges with one project, mainly because I like doing the challenges that it doesn't bother me to do a couple at a time and I like to keep my project simple.

The Scallop circle and the circles are cut from alphalicious and the scallop square and squares are from mini monograms. Lastly the clovery things are from Storybook.
