Cut It Up! - Shaker Cards

Happy Friday!

I had an interesting morning to say the least...

I will spare you the details,

but my big toe is numb from a small procedure

and my body had a slight reaction to the shots that numbed it up...

After nausea, fainting, and some time in the bathroom

I am feeling like a complete spazz!!!

But my toe is better...Yay!

ANYWHO...today is the start of another challenge over at

Cut It UP!

Challenge:

Shaker Cards!

Our Sponsor:

The Cutting Cafe

Any 3 Sets of Your Choice

My Project:

The Cutting Cafe was generous enough to

send the Design Team different files for

shaker cards.

I loved this pumpkin one and wanted to try it out.

Keep in mind that I do not have an SVG cutting machine,

so this was put together solely by fussy cutting...crazy huh!?!?

Even with the fussy cutting it was a sinch to do,

so you should definitely give it a go.

The paper I used for the inside is from DCWV

and the filler is a combo of sequins and beads.

I added some baker's twine and VWALLAH...

Done and Done...

The Inside... 

I also used this sentiment from The Cutting Cafe

for the inside of the card.

My paper is from my scrap stash,

I can't remember what paper pad it came from.

I did ink around all the edges of my card

with Tim Holtz Tea Dye Distress Ink.

I hope you will join us in this Shaker Card challenge,

they are such fun cards to make.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - Travel/Road Trip

Happy Monday!

Today over at BBTB2 we have another

challenge starting....

Travel/Road Trip

I decided to focus on travelling via air not road :)

This fun plane is from Everyday Pop-Up Cards.

All my papers are from my scrap stash, and I followed

a sketch from Mojo Monday.

The sentiment is from Craftin' Desert Divas.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Cut It Up! Breast Cancer Awareness

Happy Friday!!!

Oh my goodness, can I just list all that is going on in my life right now?

It would take up too much of my blog, so I will spare you.

Anyway, a new challenge has started over at Cut It Up!!!

Our Challenge is:

Breast Cancer Awareness.

Our Sponsor:

CAS-ual Friday Stamps

$15 Prize

My Project:

Unfortunately, I was not able to use the awesome ribbon

die cut from our sponsor,

instead I pulled out my Pink Journey cartridge

and cut out this pretty pink ribbon.

I also used Mini Monograms to cut the

scallop circle and then I cut that in half to use as

added embellishment.

The background paper is from Echo Park.

I love the printed message on the paper and

thought it was perfect for this card.

I hope you will join us over at Cut It Up

for this challenge.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!
