Shore Fun - Miss Kate Cuttables

Happy Thursday everyone!  It's my day to create a project for Miss Kate Cuttables blog.  I am SO excited to share what I have created for today!

Isn't it cute??  As soon as I saw this file last week, I knew I NEEDED to create something with it!  The little seashells were so easy to cut, and layered perfectly!  The Cute Seashells file can be found HERE.

 
My perfect sentiment for this card, is from Craftin Desert Divas "Destination Fun" set.  You can find it HERE.  

The paper is mostly from Recollections, though some of it is from my scrap box.  The twine is from Trendy Twine - it is Blue Berry.  The card itself is a tent style card.

Be sure to visit Miss Kate Cuttables blog every day!  She has amazing daily freebies and there is always a wonderful creation to inspire you!

A challenge or two for my cute card:
4 Crafty Chicks - anything goes

Christmas in July - Craftin Desert Divas

Happy Monday everyone!  We are mid-way through the current Linky Party at Craftin Desert Diva's, and it is Team B's turn to inspire you!  Tara challenged us to create a Christmas in July project.  Here is what I have created for today:

I love my simple card.  The silhouettes are from the Silhouette Online Store.  The paper is mostly from Michaels except the gold which is Stampin Up.  You can find Christmas sentiments in lots of places, and I found this one on Be Inspired.  For me, it reflects the true meaning of Christmas.

I hope you all come play with us!  There is still 1 week left in our party, so be sure to link up by August 3rd.  There are great prizes for a few lucky participants, so get your crafty on!  I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Flower Bouquet - PDE

Happy Tuesday everyone!  It's linky party day over at Pause Dream Enjoy.  Today, Janis challenged us to make a project showcasing 3 or MORE PATTERNED PAPERS!!  Here is what I created:

I made this paper bouquet of flowers for my daughter's teacher as a year end gift.  I made it with We R Memory Keepers Flower Punch Board.

Anyone who visits my blog with any regularity, will know what a challenge this is for me.  I don't regularly use patterned paper at all, let alone 3 or more in the same project!

You can buy stems in a kit of 10, to help you put the flowers together.  They are really easy to make!

The challenge starts today and ends August 5th.  Please hop over to Pause Dream Enjoy, see what the rest of the Design Divas came up with, and play along with us.  I can't wait to see what you come up with!
