February Sketch at Die Cuttin' Divas

Happy Tuesday!

The week is off to a great start and there is plenty going on until the weekend. I have a trip to the Wellness Bus today, tutoring after school, an eye appointment on Wednesday, and a CAS meeting on Friday. Never a dull moment! I am thinking about taking a trip to MFT on Saturday morning since I won a gift certificate the other day and I really like a few of the new release items (like the ostriches, super dogs, and confetti stencil). 

Today I am also sharing the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas.

This Week's Challenge...

~ February's Sketch ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I really like this MFT heart tree die, but it is a lot of work piecing it back together in the variety of colors. Thanks goodness for the Silhouette Pick-Me-Up stick. I used the colors from the plaid paper for the leaves and hearts.

The stamped sentiment is by Whimsical Designs (closed and not available).

Hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "February's Sketch" challenge. The design team has quite a variety, so be sure to check them out.

Stay Creative,

Pinata is Hoping for a Smashing Birthday

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back and thanks for stopping by on this wonderful Wednesday! I am heading back to school for a Teacher Workday, which means I will be meeting with teachers during collaboration time. Each grade level has one hour scheduled throughout the day and we will be meeting with them to kick off third quarter. I am looking forward to seeing everyone after Winter Break and hearing all about their vacations/trips.

Today I am sharing a fun and colorful birthday card. I just received this My Favorite Things pinata die for Christmas and was super excited to cut it out. I did look at a few of the MFT design team projects to see their choice of colors and fringe. Once I decided on the plaid paper, finding the pinata's colors were a breeze. 

I used this week's sketch from Die Cuttin' Divas.

I used the MFT cloud stencil and Broken China distress ink to create a background on white cardstock. Then I cut the stitched circle to the size I needed to fit my pinata directly in the center. I used the snow drift die to make a hill of grass.

I am submitting this card to the My Favorite Things Birthday Challenge.

The stamped sentiment is by Lawn Fawn ~ Year Seven. Pink pearls were added in the lower right corner.
