BBTB2 - Elvis

Happy Monday!

And HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope things have settled down for you all now that
the holidays are over and school is back in session...
I know it has for me :)

This week over at BBTB2
we are celebrating Elvis' Birthday :)

We want to see Elvis inspired projects.
I naturally pulled out my Nifty Fifties cart to search
for the cut I wanted to use and when I saw
this one I immediately thought
"Blue Suede Shoes".

One of my goals this year is to use as much scrap paper
as I can on my projects instead
of starting with new pieces,
so I can't tell you exactly where my b/g papers 
are from - you'll have to forgive me :)

The sentiment is from a Fiskars set.

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 for this fun challenge!

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

BBTB2- Nativity

It's Christmas Week!

Awesome!

Today over at BBTB2 we have another Christmas/Holiday
Challenge-
Use a Nativity or Menorah.

I chose to use the Nativity from Winter Frolic.
I used a PKS baby face instead of the cuts from
the cartridge. I think it is adorable.

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

Happy Monday!
Today I am hosting the challenge over at BBTB2!
I decided on using a Holiday symbol,
such as an ornament or menorah.


I used Winter Frolic for this fun ornament.
My background paper is from The Paper Studio.
The ornament paper is from my scrap stash and
I used some silver glitter paper for the add ons.
My sentiment is from Hero Arts.

I hope you will join us over at BBTB2 for this
Holiday Challenge.

Cut It Up - Tic Tac Toe

Happy Friday!

Welcome to December and
the Christmas Season!

We are in full swing over at Cut It Up Challenges
with today's challenge!


Our Sponsor:
Prize: $5 Store Credit

My Project:

Digital Delights donated some super cute digi's for us
to choose from for our DT Projects,
I chose this adorable elf.
Now remember digi stamps and coloring are not my
strengths, so please forgive the amateur job.

Anyway, the Tic Tac Toe combo I chose was
Embossing, Glitter, Elf.
My Embossing is the red mat with Holly.
The Glitter is on the hat; 
I used Wink of Stella on the white front,
it's just hard to see in the pick.
I also added a glitter gem.

I hope you will join us over at Cut It Up
for our Holiday Tic Tac Toe challenge.

BBTB2 - Happy Thanksgiving

Hello! Happy Monday!

Today over at BBTB2 we are challenging you
to include the word "Thanks" or "Thanksgiving"
on your cards or projects.


I found this "Happy Thanksgiving" phrase on the
Create-A-Critter 2 cartridge and wanted to use it.

I found some fun fall colored papers and layered them
to create this card.

I was lucky enough to have some Enamel Dots
that coordinated, so I used those to embellish.

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

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

I have SO many!!!

The sentiment is from a Hero Arts Holiday set.

Please join us over at BBTB2 this week!

Happy Monday!

Seriously, we are already into November!?!?
Thanksgiving is 2 1/2 weeks away?!?!
CRAZY!!!

Over at BBTB2 we are starting our holiday
