A Sketch For My Secret Pal

Happy Diva Tuesday!

 

 Today brings another challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas and what better way to celebrate than with a new project. I am super excited because we are using a sketch that I have created. I got a little carrried away and made not one, but three cards.

 

We are doing Secret Pal at school this year, so I made some cards that can be given away.

Two More Mother's Day Cards

Good Afternoon Crafty Friends,

I am home from school and it is finally raining outside, so what better place to be than inside surrounded by crafting goodies (and with my pup at my feet). I just finished my order late last night for Mother's Day cards, so I would like to share a couple of them.

Since it was late, I forgot to take individual pictures of these cards. Bummer! I am glad I remembered to take this group shot! The one on the left required cardinals, flowers, and "For Mama". After I gave it to the person who ordered it, I found out her mother's favorite color was green. : ) I used this week's CPS sketch. The card on the right was for her best friend and the only requirement was flowers. I used the Florals Embellished cartridge to create the one main flower as a focal point.

What are your plans? What are you going to make this week? Do you have any request?

Stay Creative,

Happiness Always

Hello!

Welcome back for another challenge at Made Especially for You. You might notice my card is slightly different than some of the other Design Team members. Although I teach and expect my students to read carefully, I must say "I didn't". Shame on me! I was suppose to use the sponsor's digi and I forgot. I loved how this card came out, so I asked if I could use them next week instead. : )

This week's challenge...

Stitching (real or faux)

I am finally feeling more comfortable with faux stitching. I think the pen I used this time made a big difference too. I have the straight lines, so next time I need to try curves or dots.

Here is my Design Team project...

Materials:

Florals Embellished cartridge ~ bird2 (p. 63) cut at 2 1/2"

My Mind's Eye ~ Fine and Dandy paper stack

pink, cream, and blue card stock

blue ribbon

pink button

wiggly eyes

Martha Stewart pen ~ Sephia

Spellbinders ~ Lacey Circles

My Pink Stamper ~ Punny stamps

brown ink

Other Challenges:

Hiding in My Craft Room ~ Spring

Docerela Creations ~ Friendship Card

Coming Soon...

The World of Dr. Seuss Hop

Spring Flip DT Hop

Don't forget about my two small request...turn off word verification and sign-up for Linky. Go back for more information.

Die Cuttin' Diva's Sketch Challenge

Good Morning Everyone,

It is hard to believe that it is already October. Where does the time go? I always have these great plans, but it never seems like there is enough time in the day to do them all. Be sure to enjoy every day.

Here is the newest sketch for Die Cuttin' Divas weekly challenge. 

 

I love this layout!

I used my new Florals Embellished cartridge. Beware...there are LOTS of layers.

I was a bit worried when I started to cut the pieces that the colors wouldn't look right together, but once I added the silver gems I was pleased with the final product. I am going to give this card along with a gift certificate to a fellow teacher who allowed me to bum a ride with her while my car was in the shop during the past two weeks... Thank you Cindy!

I hope that you will join us this week at Die Cuttin' Divas. The Design Team created wonderful projects too, so please take a peek. We even have a new Design Team member. Yeah!

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
