CP Sketch #21 and The Pink Elephant #21

Card Patterns has got an 'ausome' sketch this week!! Here's the sketch:

Told ya! Also, The Pink Elephants Challenge #21 is "Your Favorite Color Combo". So, I used some yummy papers that I recently won in some blog candy. Evidently this blue and green combo is now my fav :) I cut the scallops with the Cricut using Plantin Schoolbook. Then I added some embossing to it with the Cuttlebug. The image and sentiment are from Pink Petticoat. I printed it twice and cut out part of it from the second copy. I colored the image with Sharpies, added some stickles to the cupcake and some Glossy Accents to the cherry. Then I pop dotted the cupcake and cherry to add some dimension. I added some yummy ribbon and some cute little flowers from Flora Doodles. So, this one is for a friend's daughter for her birthday. Hope she likes it. Thanks for stopping by today!

Make a Note of It!

Today's challenge at 365 Cards is to incorporate notepaper on your card. Well, I had one more teacher thank you card to make, so I thought this was the perfect challenge. I used American Crafts paper, some ribbon, twine, gem clips and a button from my stash and finished it off with the note paper. The scallop was cut with the Cricut using the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge.

Well, I've done another paper project today that I can't share just yet. (It's for someone's birthday...shhh). I'll share on Wednesday. It's a very rainy day here today, so I'm having a grand time just hanging out and creating in the old craft room. Hope you're having a great Saturday and thanks for stopping by!

Card Patterns Sketch #14

Great sketch over at CP this week! I used some great grad paper that I picked up the other day. Lots of family and friends are graduating over the next couple of weeks, so this card should come in handy. I just added some ribbon, buttons and twine from my stash, a rub-on and I cut the scallop from Plantin Schoolbook (Cricut). Be sure to go over and check out the DT cards this week......pure eye candy!! Thanks for stopping by ;)

365 - Don't Bug Me! and Kazan #23

Two challenges today. Since I'm home from work today, I can participate early. Our challenge on 365 cards today is to use a ladybug on our card. Well, I used more than one! This is also my take on Kazan's Sketch #23. The ladybugs were cut with WIMG and the tree from Tinkerbell & Friends, both cartridges from Provocraft. Then the grass was cut from Plantin Schoolbook and the sentiment from Beyond Birthdays. WOW - lot's of cricut on this one!! The Miss You is mounted on some black ribbon. So, thanks for stopping by today!

Here is Kazan's 'ausome' sketch #23:

And here is my card:

365 - Red, Blue & Yellow

So, Friday's challenge is a Red, Blue & Yellow Birthday card. These colors just screamed little boy to me, so I tried my hand at it. It's very simple, but looks pretty boyish to me. I used Cricut's New Arrival cart for the truck and Plantin Schoolbook for the "fire". Added a little bling and some "falling" boxes. TFL!
