Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a brand new challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas!  Today's challenge is BYE-BYE SUMMER.  I can't wait to show you what I created.

We still have a few weeks of summer vacation, my kids don't go back to school until September 7th.  We are doing some camping before the season ends!  We rough it in tents :)

I love this stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas!  I used my PixScan mat and Silhoutte to cut the images out.  Then I colored them with my PrismaColor pencils.  

I used some fun dies to finish my little scene.  CDD's The Sky's the Limit Die set for the cloud and the sun, and YNS Hillside for the hills.

Hippo Fairy

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

I am so in love with this cute Hippo Fairy!   She is a new cutting file from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons, and she is part of an adorable set of costumed critters.

This card was for my girl.  She was going to Girl Guide camp last weekend, and was worried she would miss us, so I made her this cute card.  The sentiment is from an old stamp set from Whimsical Designs, it was the perfect sentiment for my girl and for the cute hippo fairy!  She is lying on the large scalloped rectangle from Craftin Desert Divas "Fancy Frames Die"

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

PDE Linky Party - Sketch

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

I used the sketch as inspiration, but took a few liberties with it from there ;)

Isn't it cute??  Instead of using grass for the border edge, I used clouds - they are from Your Next Stamp the Puffy Cloud Die.  Instead of the scalloped circle, I used a cloud - Craftin Desert Divas "The Sky is the Limit" stamp and Die set. I even embossed some clouds on my background paper.  LOVE IT!!  

I chose a cute little unicorn as my focal image.  It is from Avery Elle's "Be a Unicorn" stamps and dies.  I colored her in with my Prismacolor Pencils and used some Gamsol to blend them.

The cute "Smile" sentiment is from Jaded Blossoms "Lunch Box Notes 2" stamp set.  You can find it HERE.

I hope you all play along with us!  I love this fun sketch, even though I didn't follow it exactly... I can't wait to see what you create!

Just a Note

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It is my day to share a project over on the PPPR blog.  I am so excited to show you the project I created with one of Lisa's cute files!!

Yesterday, I needed some cards to send notes to school.  I went to my card box, and lo and behold, no basic note cards.  Off to my craft room I went, and a little while later, I had made 4 of these:

Aren't they pretty??  I LOVE these gorgeous daffodils and they were SO easy to put together!  The hardest part was finding the right yellows :)

The daffodils are from Lisa's Spring Garden Cutting Files.  There are some real beauties in this set.  Look at that gorgeous tulip and the humming bird???  Shut the front door!

The daffodil is lying on some beautiful Mats, cut using my CDD Fancy Frame Dies.  The sentiment is from CDD's Happy Thoughts Stamp Set.

Did you know that you can find MANY of Lisa's designs in the Silhouette Store??  You can find full sets, and individual cuts that you can't live without HERE.  The daffodil is file #58442, make sure you go pick it up!!

Be sure to pop by the PPPR blog every day for some cute inspiration from all my fellow Design Team Divas!

Here is what I created for today.  My project features the Sweet Wishes 2x3 stamp set.  

I decided to break out my Cricut for this one.  I loved the idea of making a cute cherry to go along with this cute sentiment!  The cherry is from the Preserve cartridge.  Her cutie face is from "The Sky is the Limit" stamp set, that was part of last month's release, and the tag is from CDD's Tag Essentials Die.  I just LOVE this die!  I am so glad I added it to my collection!  You can add the Tag Die and the Sky is the Limit stamp set to your collection today!  But you will have to wait till Friday to pick up the adorable Sweet Wishes set...
