Hello Cutie

Happy Friday everyone!  It's challenge day over at PDE Linky Parties.  Miss Janis, challenged us to create a TAG project. Here is what I created:

I am a little bit in love with this tag! I have coveted the "Treat Tag Die" from Jaded Blossom for a long time.  This Christmas, my kids gave it to me for Christmas, along with the "Hello Hello" stamp set.  Where my adorable sentiment came from.

The chickie is from Craftin Desert Divas.  It is a sweet 3x2 stamp set.  I bought the SVG to cut around it, but wanted to challenge myself to use the PixScan mat again.  I still hadn't quite figured out the border width, but I LOVE her!  She is colored with my PrismaColor Pencils and Gamsol.

I hope you all play along with us!  I can't wait to see what you create!  Be sure to join us every week!  Our "schedule" is below.

Get Well

Happy Friday everyone!  It's challenge day over at PDE Linky Parties.  Today Miss Janis, challenged us to create a GET WELL project.  Here is what I created.

Sometimes, simple is the right thing, and I love this simple card.  I embossed the upper portion with a Cuttlebug Folder, and stamped my Craftin Desert Diva sentiment on the bottom.  A ribbon adds the perfect finishing touch.

I hope you all play along with us!  I can't wait to see what you created!

Out Like a Lamb

Hi everyone, it's my day to share a project over at Craftin Desert Divas.  I have a super cute card to share with you today.  Of course, I used one of Tara's amazing stamp sets to create my project!  Here it is:

The last 2 months have been BRUTAL in Nova Scotia!  Mother Nature has been pummeling us with snow storm after snow storm - February and March have both been lions, but I'm hoping that March will go out like a lamb:

The rainy day lamb is from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon. Honestly, I am hoping for rainy days here, not more snow. The cloud paper is a digital freebie, and the card stock is from Recollections.  I embossed the paper with my Spots and Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder.  

I used the Animal Antics stamp set to create this project.  It has so many adorable sentiments on it!  You can buy your own in the Craftin Desert Divas Shop HERE.

Be sure to stop by Craftin Desert Divas everyday.  There is always something going on, from Linky Parties, to Blog Hops, from Stamp Releases to Daily Inspiration!  See you there :)

A challenge or two for my cute tag:
4 Crafty Chicks - humour
CCEE - lamb or farm animal
City Crafter - polka dots
Die Cuttin Divas - anything goes

Here's the project I created....

I make homemade jam every summer.  I make lots of different varieties from the fruit available in the Annapolis Valley.  This particular jam is a Spiced Peach Jam.  I decided to make a cute little tag to give this jam to a friend.  I cut the tag from Plantin Schoolbook an the peach from Just Because Cards cartridge.  I'm trying to use my Cricut more often.  I forgot how much I enjoyed using it!

The face is from Peachy Keens "Piles of Smiles" set - it has 24 different 1 inch faces.  The paper is from Michaels and Bazzil, and the little dots are from Stampin Up.  I doodled around the tag with my Sakura Jelly Roll pens.  The ribbon is from Michaels.  Here is a close up of my cute tag, so you can see all the details:
