The Crazy Challenge

This week's Crazy Challenge theme is "Anything Goes" so there's really no reason why you can't join in on this one.

Digi Doodles is our sponsor this week.

Unfortunately I'm having technical difficulties and wasn't able to post a picture of my project today. I am hoping to update the post as soon as I can. In the meantime be sure to check out what the other DT members have made this week by simply visiting The Crazy Challenge Blog.

Happy Birthday!!

I thought I'd share a fun shaped card today. I used one of my latest printable sets from The Cutting Cafe. The party hat shaped card is from the set called Party Hat Shaped card set which can be found HERE and the Fun with Party Hats set found HERE. Both sets are a must have and would be perfect for birthday parties and projects alike.

As you can see in the close-up photo I paired it up with a sentiment from The Birthday Tags set which can be found HERE. I plan on sharing a Party Hat Shaped treat box next week. I haven't had a chance to take pictures of it yet.

Here's a picture of my completed project. As you can see I kept it simple but it is still cute.

Challenges:

Paper Pretties- use punches or die cuts

Digital Tuesday Challenge

Happy Tuesday Everyone! I hope you are ready for another fun challenge this week. The theme of this week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is to make it sparkle.

My Grafico is this week's sponsor so be sure to head there way to see all the wonderful images they have to offer.

I used the My Grafico set called What a Hoot by Cheri Wenger for my project this week. To make it sparkle I used both red and silver Rhinestones.

I hope you can join in on this week's Digital Tuesday Challenge.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

This week's Digital Tuesday Challenge is all about using your stash. You know you have stuff laying around just waiting to get used so now is the time to put it to good use....great use.

This week's sponsor is Spesch Stamps. You know the place with the great digi's and also clear stamps. Remember to have a chance to win you must use a digital element on your project.

For my project this week I used the image Bonnie digital stamp from Spesch Stamps. It' still one of my favorite images from our sponsor this week. I paired it up with a couple of printables from The Cutting Cafe. The XoXo background can be found HERE and the Hershey's Kiss Valentine Bottoms can be found HERE.

Hope you play along this week and before I forget, Happy Valentine's Day!!

The Crazy Challenge

The Crazy Challenge this week is all About Love and Valentines Day.

Our fabulous sponsor is none other than Dearie Dolls Digi Stamps. Dearie Dolls is offering some free digi's from the shop to this week's winner so be sure to play along this week for a chance to win.

I decided to use the Dearie Dolls Head over Heels Love Boy image for my project. Isn't he adorable?

Be sure to check out the The Crazy Challenge blog to see what the DT came up with this week and that's where you'll find Mr. Linky -if he's cooperative this week that is.

Hey Tootsie!!

If you are a fan of shaped cards then you should really like this one.

For my tootsie roll cards I used two different printable sets from The Cutting Cafe. The shaped card template is called The Candy Shaped Card Set and it can be found HERE. Included in the set is an adorable peppermint shaped card. I can't wait to play with that one.

The sentiment tags were made using the Candy Sentiment Set found HERE. Included with this set are various colored backgrounds that will be a welcomed addition to any project. Now onto card 1:

I thought ribbon would be a fun addition to the first card. That way its not 2 Dimensional. I used SU tag punches to cut out the sentiment. Here's a close-up of Card 2's sentiment:

Card 2 looks a little more old-fashioned than the first. I decided to add a couple of buttons and used tacky tape so I could attach the baker's twine.

Both cards came together very quickly and are pretty sweet.

Digital Tuesday Challenge

Happy Tuesday!! I hope you are ready for this week's Digital Tuesday Challenge. This week's theme is to use the color pink or red. With Valentine's Day just around the corner, this should be an easy one.

We have another great sponsor this week: Stamp Fairy. They have a great variety of images like the one you see below. I used the Molly Fairy image for my project. I think its my favorite line of images from Stamp Fairy so far.

The prize this week is a $10 gift certificate.

I hope you join us for this week's challenge and a chance to win some great images. Good Luck and have fun.

The Crazy Challenge

I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of Mondays. Luckily I've joined the Crazy Challenge DT so my Monday's will be a little brighter. Being able to use and adorable image like the one below certainly helps.

If you haven't heard about the Crazy Challenge here's the scoop: There is a new theme, new sponsor and new prize each week. You can make a card, scrapbook page, photo frame, or anything you think of. To qualify for the prize you need to follow the theme and to link it to Mr. Linky on the challenge blog.

This week's challenge is sponsored by DtsArt. A great place for digi stamps, SVG files and more. The theme this week is Fairies/Things with Wings. You can make it as simple or elaborate as you wish. Just have fun.

For my challenge card this week I used the image called The key to my heart Cecila fairy with key which can be found HERE. It's an adorable image and great for Valentine's Day.

Since the image is in digital form I did a quick flip with Photoshop and made the image face the opposite direction. She was also easily sized to my specifications. What's not to love about digital images?

Adore

Here's a quick Valentine's Day card I made with one of the latest printable sets from The Cutting Cafe.

The set is called Feb. 14th and is perfect for any addition to a Valentines Day project. It is a huge set of 41 black and white images and 41 colored images. It's a very versatile set. You can see all the images on the Cutting Cafe site. You'll be amazed at just how much is in this set.

For my card, I decided to keep it sweet and simple. I wanted to let the sentiment shine. And remember that you can cut out individual sentiments like I did for the word Adore shown below. It just goes to show you just how much you can do with this one set.

Be sure to come back tomorrow for a new project.

Go Cricut Go!

I'm in the process of cutting out various shapes with my Cricut for my daughters Kindergarten class. The idea is that they'll use them to make special projects.

One of the themes that the teacher requested was for Spring so I started off with ladybugs, moved on to grass, etc. Since I had a couple extras I thought I'd make a quick library card pocket with them. Nothing incredibly fancy, just plain fun. Go Cricut! Go!
