Daily Post Craftin' Desert Divas - Miss You

Happy Saturday!!!

Hope you are all having a wonderful start to the weekend!!!

I am so excited to be showcasing the beautiful stamp “Miss You” 

from the Craftin Desert Divas Simply Said stamp set.

I absolutely LOVE this stamp set!!!

Tara has done another amazing job with her latest release!!!

The sentiments on this set cover EVERYTHING!!!

A great addition to any stamp collection!!!

Here is the card I created with the stamp:

This card was created using the Art Philosophy cartridge.

I used Divine Swirls to emboss the tree.

My paper comes from My Mind's Eye.

I inked around the edges with ColorBox Chalk Ink and tied some tulle around the front.

I really like how majestic this card feels and the stamp is the perfect sentiment!

You can purchase the Simply Said Stamp Set HERE.

Have a fabulous day!!!

Challenge #45

National Bike Month

$10 Gift Card

My Project:

So, there's a National Bike Month, huh?

Just Kidding!

I really didn't know this, but how fun is that?!?!

Honestly though, I don't know when the last time I was on a bike or

if I could even remember how to ride one :)

But I guess if what they say is true, 

once you learn how you never forget

I shouldn't have a problem - if I even had a bike to try it!

Oh well, at least it gives us a great excuse to create 

some super fun projects with a bike theme :)

So for my project I pulled out the Stretch Your Imagination

cart and cut out the funnest little bike, basket and flower!

LOVE this cut!!!

I used paper from Prima Marketing's Doodle Deux 6x6 pack

I picked up at Hobby Lobby.

I inked around the edges with Tim Holtz Tea Dyed Distress Ink

and my ric-rac ribbon is from American Crafts.

The sentiment comes from My Creative Time's Life is Good stamp set.

I broke down and finally bought some enamel dots from Michael's

and I am kind of obsessed with these now :)

LOVE them!!!

I hope you will join us for this super fun challenge over at Cut It Up

and be sure to check out all the DT's projects - they are all fabulous!!!

I am also going to entering this into My Craft Spot's Ink Challenge.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Decorate To Celebrate - Teacher Appreciation!

Happy Wednesday!!!

Hope this week is going well for everyone!

Today over at Decorate To Celebrate 

we have another challenge starting!

The school year is coming to a close and we want to see

how you show your appreciation for all those teachers out there!

My son is just finishing up preschool, 

so I wanted to make a treat box

for his teacher, who has done wonders for him :)

Here it is - all angles and the back...

I used Tags, Bags, Boxes and More for the Crayon Box...

I thought that was appropriate :)

I cut it out at 7".

My paper is from DCWV and my twine is from American Crafts.

The apple is cut from Plantin Schoolbook

and this is where I will stamp a fun sentiment or put her name,

I just haven't decided yet...

I think I will know what to do 

once I figure out what to put IN the box :)

I hope that you will join us for this challenge and help to inspire the rest of us!!!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2 - School Days

Happy Monday!!!

I hope you all had a great weekend!!!

I know I did!

It was my Birthday Saturday and Mother's Day yesterday

so I was pretty much spoiled all weekend long :)

It was FABULOUS!!!

But back to business right?

Today over at BBTB2, my amazing DT Sister Jaren 

has issued a super fun challenge all about

School Days!

We are getting towards the end of the school year and it's time to 

figure out teacher gifts, award certificates, graduation, and so on.

So I decided to create a masculine graduation card 

using Create A Critter 2.

My paper comes from American Crafts Here and There Collection.

I hope you will join us this week for this challenge.

Mom's Special Day

Happy Wednesday!!!

I am also going to enter this into the Cuttin' & Stampin' challenge
