Creative Cutting Challenge #15 Wedding

Time for another Creative Cutting Challenge!

This time our focus is on weddings
and I made this card:
I was really unsure what I was going to make..
Once I looked at the Wedding Set from 
Creative Pointe, available at Cut and Create
I had this vision. I love how it turned out!

Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge #9 Outdoor Critters

Ch# 9 Outdoor Critters
Begins: Monday, Apr 29
Ends: Sunday, May 12
Prize MFPS "Tweet That"
(must have a USA address)


Winner announced in the WINNERS Page Tab


Here's what I created for this challenge:
I saw this wrapping paper and thought our nephew
would love it! Then of course I needed to make a card 
to go with it. I used the Dyno-mite Birthday 
cutting file from Scraptastical Kreations. I changed
the spots and made a spiked under layer to match the 
wrapping paper. I also added the gifts. This 
file also comes with balloons that I did not use.

I hope you enjoy my project!

Butterfly Hop


Thank you for fluttering by today and seeing all the butterflies
we have in this hop. These crafters have preformed butterfly
magic again with their creations and I hope you enjoy
looking at the beauty of these creations.

Jearise from http://lorbysworld.blogspot.com is our hostess
today and she has a butterfly filled gift for one lucky visitor
today so please make sure you begin
at her blog to find out how to enter the drawing.


Here is my little bit of butterfly magic for today...
For my card I used the butterfly background
from the Silhouette Online Store, by Hero Arts.
I painted the card with watercolors and then glued the
white background over it. The Hello is cut from a
font I have. I added a little American Crafts glitter tape
for a fun finish,

Thank you so much for joining us today we
hope you enjoyed fluttering through! 
Head on over to Jamie's blog to finish the hop!

Green is good Blog Hop!


Green is good Blog Hop!


 Something recycled, something re-purposed, whether it’s a milk jug
turned in to a scoop, or a tin can made in to a pencil holder. Maybe
your kids planted some trees to help the environment, or maybe
you did. There are tons of ways to get greener in everyday life.
Today we are showing off our creations to celebrate Earth Day 2013.
If you’re just starting here make sure to head over to the beginning
at My Life in Arts’ n Crafts’. I hear she’s giving away some goodies!

This is what I started with :
This is what I made:



I covered my box with papers from the DCWV Girlhood
Stack and Mod Podge

ideas on what to do with those crazy scraps that keep piling up!

Fancy Fold Cards is the theme today, how fun and
different then the ordinary card, this is the fancy fold
I chose to make to inspire you!


For this card I used several cutting files. 
Grass by Silhoette, The corn is from SVG cuts
Grandpa's Organic Farm. The hose is from 
Treasure Box Designs Cool In The Pool set
and the girl is from Treasure Box Designs
Funny farm set. The card stock is assorted 
scraps and for patterned paper I used 
scraps of My Little Shoe Box Happy Go
Lucky On Cloud 9 and Close To my heart 
Dotty for You collection. The stamp I used 
is from the Paper Smooches Whimsical set.
I used 1 of the 2 birds in the set. They are
attached, I cut it out after stamping it.


I hope you have enjoyed my project today, enough to leave a little 
love through commenting. Our host is having a nice giveaway and
a variety of blogs may be offering some blog candy as well, they all have
their own wishes for you to win on their own blog, so don't forget to read
