BBTB2 - Think Green

Happy Monday!

Today over at BBTB2 I had the privilege of

choosing the theme for the weekly challenge!

Think Green!

Use 3 shades of Green on your projects.

I used the Garden Soup cartridge for my card.

I thought it would have the perfect image for a "Green" card,

and it did :)

There are some fabulous cuts on this cart,

I highly recommend adding this to your library.

Again, I am on my scraps kick, so all my 

papers were from my "green bin".

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2

for the challenge!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Cute Animals

Oh my it's Tuesday :o

My post didn't get published...oops!

Well, yesterday a new challenge started over at

BBTB2 all about Cute Animals.

I decided to use Create-A-Critter, it was the obvious choice for me!

The critters are SO SO CUTE!!!

I love this little pup.

I used scraps from my stash and

just came up with this layout, I kind of like it :)

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 this week!

Cut It Up - Bendy Cards

Happy Friday!

Today over at Cut It Up we have started a

new challenge...

Bendy Cards!

Sponsor:

The Cutting Cafe

Prize: Any 3 sets of your choice

My Project:

Okay, so first off, I am a loyal Cricut-er.

And I only have a Cricut Expression.

I have steered clear of any "digital" crafting.

I know, I know, I need to get with the times,

but I'm good :)

Anyway, for my project, I decided to print out the bendy card

from our Sponsor, The Cutting Cafe, just on my regular old printer.

I then "fussy cut" it out and used it as a template to

trace on some paper from Echo Park.

I then pieced them together, easy peasy.

The heart I cut from Art Philosophy.

I used some Twine from American Crafts

to line the top of the "bends".

Here is a top shot of the card:

I really like the dimension the bendy card gives.

The sentiment I used is also from our Sponsor,

I also just printed it out on my printer.

Here is a close up...

This was a fun card to make, and you can

make it without a fancy digital machine ;)

I hope you will try out the bendy cards from

The Cutting Cafe and join us

for our challenge over at Cut It Up!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Create a Valentine

Happy Monday!

Another challenge over at BBTB2

has begun!

Create a Valentine!

Yes! Valentine's is upon us - CRAZY!!!

I decided to use Art Philosophy,

one of the Close to My Heart cartridges.

They have a ton of pre-cut cards and I wanted to

try one out, so I chose this heart card.

I cut it at 4 3/4" out of some My Mind's Eye paper,

which I adore!

I decided to use a different paper to fill in the heart

that the card cut out so I could stamp the inside with

a sentiment.

The sentiment also comes from CTMH.

I used the cut out heart on the inside of the card,

didn't want to waste that :)

Then I added twine down the spine of the card.

Super quick and easy!

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2

for this week's Valentine's challenge.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!
