Paper Play Sketches

Hello Crafty Friends,

Happy Wednesday ~ Happy Hump Day!

Today my class has the first session of the FSA ~ English Language Arts (ELA) test. Wish us luck! This test will show growth and be used for academic placement in middle school next year. I have a great group of students, so I am being optimisitc they all do well.

Today I am sharing the new challenge at Paper Play Sketches. This week happens to be the color challenge. Amy has done a fantatstic job choosing color combinations.

This Week's Challenge...

Here is my Design Team project...

I love the colors!

I embossed the background and added an anchor in the circle window. 

The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Ecouragement stamp set.

Now, I hope you will  join us this week for the Paper Play Sketches challenge. Be sure to visit the other Design Team members to see how they used the photo and colors.

Stay Creative,

Looking For Shaped Card at Die Cuttin' Divas

Hello Everyone,

It's Tuesday! We just started 3 weeks of testing season, 6 weeks left of this school year, 2 weeks until my daughter comes home from college for summer break, 2 months of fixing up Kyle's house with a little bit more, and we are still going strong. It's been busy (extremely) and we still need to keep plugging away. Looking forward to having more free time soon.  

Today the new challenge at Die Cuttin' Diva starts. 

This Week's Challenge...

~ Shaped Cards ~

Here is my Design Team project...

I had a few different projects planned (tool box, coffee cup, mixer), but decided to go with my original thought of using a paint palette (Too Cute by Jessica). I was going to using the palette as the base shape, but I didn't like the hole cut-out so I found a bracket shaped base that I cut on my Cameo.

I chose this SEI pattern paper (Cheery Brights) since it had all the colors of the paint splotches. The stamped sentiment is by Jaded Blossom ~ Dream in Color stamp set. The sequins were an after thought, but I like that the colors match.

I hope you will join us at Die Cuttin' Divas this week for our "Shaped Card" challenge. Be sure to check out the other design team projects.

Stay Creative,

Happy Easter from Trendy Twine

Happy Easter,

Today is the last day for the Spring Guest Designers at Trendy Twine. What a wonderful opportunity it was using this fabulous twine. Thank you again Lesley for allowing us to showcase a variety of colors during the past two months. 

Although my children are older and do not hunt Easter eggs any more, I still like to give them goodies. I made an Easter treat using a Jaded Blossom purse. 

I wrapped my Grape Fizz twine around the handle and then attached my tag. The stamped setiment is from Jaded Blossom's  Bunny Poop Revamped stamp set.

I cut out the chocolate bunny on my Cameo, added a wiggly eye, and made him a twine bow. I chose to adhere a couple yellow sequins since they matched the jelly beans.

Be sure to get your Grape Fizz Trendy Twine today!

You can find this great twine color along with many more  at  Annie's Paper Boutique store. 

Stay Creative,

Fluttering By to Say "Thank You"

Hello Everyone! 

Today is my day to post at Eyelet Outlet and Brads. Before I share my design team project,  I want to let you know that there is a Daily Deal where you can get a product each day at a discounted price. Be sure to check it out!

Here is my Design Team project...

A friend asked me if I had a thank you card in my stash and I did not, so I decided I should make one. I would like to have a couple available just in case somebody asks again. I want to make a few more of this style since I like how it turned out. I need one for my Secret Pal, my room mom, a student, etc.

The background is a cover-up by My Favorite Things and the stamped sentiment is a freebie I received with my Cardmaking and Papercraft magazine subscription. I used the Mini Butterfly brads around the sentiment to keep it simple.

I used the following product from Eyelet Outlet and Brads shop.

Mini Butterfly Brads

Eyelet Outlet and Brads has such a wide variety of products you need to check them out!

Animals Challenge at Miss Kate Cuttables

Hello Everyone,
Welcome to my new crafty friends!

The new challenge at Miss Kate Cuttables starts this evening, and remember there is a free file every day! Hopefully you will be able to join us during the next two weeks with your own creation.

This Week's Challenge...

~ Animals~

Here is my Design Team project...

I made this card for a friend who had a pet emergency and needed some help getting her dog to the vet's office while we were at school. Thank goodness her dog is okay, but it sure is scary when your fur baby is in distress.

I used a variety of dies and a stamped sentiment by My Favorite Things.

 I used the paws from the I Love My Dog Title file by Miss Kate Cuttables.

Hope you will join us at Miss Kate Cuttables for the "Animals" challenge. The other design team members were quite creative this month! Be sure to check out ALL the variety! 

Stay Creative,

Happy Birthday with Farm Animals

Happy Friday! 

Another week of school has flown by and it is just a few hours away from a busy weekend. A visit with my daughter and work at my son's house will fill both days. I am hoping to squeeze a little time in to go blueberry picking since the farm just opened. I am looking forward to some Blueberry Buckle!  

Today I am combining my Miss Kate Cuttables and Eyelet Outlet and Brads design team posts because they together nicely. I used this Miss Kate Cuttables barn and cut it on my Cameo. How easy!

The farm animal brads are by Eyelet Outlet and Brads. I found them in my stash and I couldn't resist using them since they are extremely cute.

This round birthday stamped sentiment is by Scrappy Moms ~ Dancing in Circles set.

Hope you find some crafty time this weekend.
