September Sketch at Die Cuttin' Diva

Hello Crafty Friends,

Welcome back for another Die Cuttin' Diva Challenge.

This Week's Challenge...A Sketch

See photo below

Here is my Design Team project...

I selected the sentiment first because I like how it curved along the bottom of the oval, then I decided what would I like to enjoy. I have been trying to eat healthier and ice cream sure would taste delicious, BUT then I remembered the saying...a moment on the lips is lifetime on the hips. Well...I did enjoy the moment while I was thinking about how yummy it would taste! 

I hope you will try this sketch I created. It can be rotated or used as is...any color or theme. What will you create? 

I did use the Cricut for the bowl of ice cream (Sweet Shop) and oval (Plantin Schoolbook). I sure do like having both of my die-cutting machines (Cricut Expression and Silhouette Cameo) and being able to alternate between the two. I have double the choices!

Another fun stamp set from Craftin' Desert Divas that you may want to add to your collection! 

Other Materials:

Teresa Collins paper ~ Sweet Afternoon stack

grey, white, and cream card stock

pink glitter glue

black Versafine ink

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Sketch" challenge. The other design team members have done an amazing job with their creations, so be sure to check them out!

Hope you will join the challenge this week!

Stay Creative,

Have a Scrumptious Birthday at 3 Girl JAM

Hello Crafty Friends!

 

Thanks for stopping by for my 3 Girl JAM Design Team post. I am super excited to be a part of this team and I am looking forward to working with all the fabulous products you can find in the shop.

 

Today I have a scrumptious cupcake (from Sweet Shop) using the Christmas Candy ribbon, which is included in the Seasons Bundle. This pack actually includes three different colors that can be used all year...the other two are Summer Sprinkles and Halloween Harvest.

There are pink and green swirls throughout this ribbon. What perfect colors to blend together! What about that heart pin? I made it with brown, cream and pink beads. After sticking the pin through the bow I added one more brown bead just beneath the knot.

Other Materials:
Sentimentals Cricut cartridge ~ 4 3/4" base, 4 1/2" & 4 1/4" layers
Recollections paper ~ My Favorite Things

cream, pink, and brown cardstock
Glossy Accents (on cherry)
brown ink
Jaded Blossom stamp ~ Hey Cupcake stamp set

Happy Birthday to My Sister and Niece

Hello Crafty Friends,

 

Can you imagine having your birthday within a week of Christmas? Well, my sister and two of her daughters have birthdays in December. I always try to keep them separate, so they can still have their own special day.

 

This first 5X5 card is for my younger (and only) sister. Her birthday was the 17th and we plan on going to breakfast at Ihop this weekend. We always treat each other and pick where we want to go. Something we started doing just a few years ago, but it sure is nice to have sister time.

I used Seems a Little Sketchy design for her card.

 Black crinkle ribbon is from Karen at Little Scrap Pieces.

 

Today is my nieces's birthday and we are going over to her house in a couple hours. If you missed the milk cartons I made for her party be sure to check them out.

 

I made her a 5X5 birthday card using her favorite colors, pink and green. Since I am not mailing either of these cards I used raised flowers on both cards.

 This layered cake looks scrumptious, especially with that sweet strawberry on top.

I used the Sketch Saturday design for the first time. I just noticed I forgot a piece to the sketch ~ the sentiment strip. Too late now! We have to leave soon. She will never know. : )

Other Challenges:

Do You Stack Up? ~ Anything Goes

Cupcake Craft Challenge ~ Cupcake (first card)

Divas by Design ~ Anything Goes

Fab 'n' Funky Challenges ~ Ribbon/Lace (first card)

Through the Craft Room Door ~ Anything Goes

Make it Monday ~ Anything Goes

 

My other niece's birthday is next week, so another birthday card will be coming soon.

 

Question of the Day...

What month do you think is the best to have a birthday?

 

Mine is in September and I think it is perfect. No other holidays, so I get to celebrate my day with no interferences.

 

Stay Creative,

Georgiana
