Decorate to Celebrate Challenge #68 - Valentine's Treat Boxes

It's another Wonderful Wednesday and that means over at Decorate to Celebrate we have the start of another fantastic challenge - and once again, it is helping us all get ready for Valentine's Day!!!

This time instead of bags, we want to see boxes!

There are some many options for fun, cute, creative boxes and we want to see them all!!!  

For my project, I created this fun french fry box from Art Philosophy.  This cartridge has so many options for projects - IT'S CRAZY!!!  The box is found on page 27 of the handbook and I cut it at 8".  The tag is found on page 26 and it was cut at 2".  My sentiment is from a Fiskars set and the paper I used comes from Crate Paper.  I then used some generic white curling ribbon to tie the tag to the box and now all I need to do now is fill it with goodies galore!

I hope that you will show off your boxes with us and please make sure you check out the amazing projects from the design team!

I am linking this up to the Linky Party over at Craftin' Desert Divas as well.

If you are interested in purchasing the Art Philosophy cartridge and bundle from Close To My Heart, you can do that with me HERE!!!

Thanks for checkin' in!

Cardz TV Stamp Set

My Project:

I decided to combine all three of the challenges starting today into one card - they all coincide so I thought, why not?  I used my Art Philosophy cartridge from Close To My Heart and the new Skylark Stamp Set from the new Spring/Summer 2014 CTMH Catalog, Spellbinder's, some paper from American Crafts, some baker's twine my friend Evelyn sent me, and a stamp from a Fiskars Holiday Set.  I have another video for you to see how this card all came together - there's even a sneak peak at the new CTMH Catalog :)

HIMCR Challenge #135 - I'm "Blue" Without You

HIMCR Challenge #135

I'm Blue Without You

Sponsor:

Day for Daisies

$12 Gift Certificate

My Project:

Hello! and Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is gearing up for Super Bowl Sunday - I know that I am!!! But before we witness the "Desolation of Seahawks" we have a super fun challenge over at HIMCR.  The DT was able to choose a digi stamp to work with from Day for Daisies and I found this super cute cupcake that I wanted to use.  Truth be known though, before I chose this image, I failed to realize the challenge was all about "blue", so in reality I would LOVE to color this image pink and red for Valentine's, but I did the best with blue and brown - cause honestly, who doesn't love chocolate frosting? 

Anyway, I chose a bunch of papers from my scrap stash that were all different shades of blue, and I really like the polka dot theme to them as well.  I fussy cut the image out and popped it up on some foam tape.  My ribbon is from American Crafts and the buttons were also just from my stash that I confiscated from my MIL's collection she had from her sewing business years ago.  

I hope that you will join us for our "Blue" Without You challenge over at HIMCR and please be sure to check out the amazing work done by the DT!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Skating Beauty

I can't believe it! I have made a card for some challenges that I am not on the DT for! It's been far too long since I participated in some of my favorite challenge blogs.  I combined Mojo Monday (Tall and Skinny), My Craft Spot (Polka Dots), Die Cuttin' Divas (Winter Fun), and Exploring Cricut (Blue, Cricut Cuts, Pattern Paper) into this one card.  I used Winter Woodland for this beautiful image of an ice skater - and can I just say that I am SUPER excited for the Olympics!!!! Ice skating is one of my favorites to watch, so I made this card with that in mind.  Anyway, my pattern paper comes from an All Seasons Pack from The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby), the skater's outfit is from DCWV Linen Shimmer/Glitter stack, 

and my ribbon is from American Crafts.  The two circles are cut from George.  

I love the blue color scheme to this card - perfect for winter! 

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 & FCCB Monday Challenges...

Hello! Welcome to another wonderful Monday of Challenges!!!  This week I have combined the two DT challenges over at BBTB2 and FCCB, although my card is not showing over at FCCB :)

Anyway, I have a friend that is going to have a baby in the next few weeks and I wanted to put a card together for her so BBTB2's challenge was PERFECT for this occasion!  FCCB's challenge is to Mix and Match 3 different pattern papers.  I used paper from My Mind's Eye and the cartridges Art Philosophy and New Arrival to put this together.  My video goes through how it came together, so I hope you will watch that!  And if you are interested in purchasing the Art Philosophy cart, you can shop with me over at molliesmotif.ctmh.com anytime!

HIMCR #134 - Something For/About A Loved One

HIMCR Challenge #134

Something For/About A Loved One

Template Dreams - $5 Gift Card

My Project:

Hello!!! How is everyone's Saturday going? I am hoping to have a very productive one :) But this week over at HIMCR we have a challenge that might take you away from being productive outside the craft room!  We want you to create a card or project for or about someone you love.  The DT had the opportunity to choose from some of the Template Dreams kits for this challenge and I just had to work with the "Nuts For You" kit! SO CUTE!!! The squirrel is so stinkin' adorable and the papers and embellishments are to die for!  So this is the card I came up with.  I am not good at, nor have patience for, "fussy cutting", so I kept it to a minimum with this card.  I did my best around the flowers and popped them up on some foam tape, but the squirrel, yeah, she got to stay in a straight edge square :)  I decided to cut the "nuts about you" stencil from "Just Because" Cards on my Cricut, and popped that up on some foam tape as well.  I think it turned out pretty cute and I am thinking I will give this one to my husband for Valentine's Day, along with a jar of some type of nut.  He would like that :)  Anyway, I hope you are able to join us for this challenge and be sure to check out the DT's projects - they are always amazing!!!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!
