Hey Pumpkin!

Happy Friday, it's my day to post a Design Team Project over at Craftin Desert Divas, and 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 teddy is cut from Teddy Bear Parade Cricut cartridge and the paper is Recollections, with the patterned paper being from an old Doodle Bug Designs paper pad.  Below is a close up of the sentiment, so you can see how perfect the font is.

I used Tara's new set "Hey Pumpkin" to create this card, it is a great set with some really versatile Halloween, Autumn and Thanksgiving sentiments.  You can buy your own HERE.

Every day there is SOMETHING going on at Craftin Desert Divas - a new project to inspire you, a Linky Party to play along with or a blog hop or even new stamps being released!  Be sure to pop over and check it out.

Isn't it a great sentiment?  I love the font, it's so pretty!  The tree is from Miss Kate Cuttables, and was VERY easy to put together, despite how complex it looks.  You can buy it HERE.  The paper is mostly Recollections, or pulled out of my paper stash.  The patterned paper is from an old paper pack, I think it's from Me and My Big Ideas.

Oh Snap!

Happy Sunday every one!  It's Michelle from Purple Monkey Moments.  It's my day to post over on the Craftin Desert Divas blog, and I have a super cute card to share with you today.  I used Tara's amazing Capture the Good Times stamp set AND Simply Said  set to create this card.  You can buy your own at the Craftin Desert Divas Store HERE.

The birthday Alligator is from Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon.  You can find it HERE.   The patterned paper is from an old Cricut pad, as is the green cardstock.  The other cardstock is from Recollections.  

 I loved the idea of using an alligator or crocodile for the "oh snap!" sentiment.  I also love to combine my Craftin Desert Divas stamps to change or expand on the meaning of the sentiment.  I thought this was a cute combo. Below is a close up of my sentiment from Capture the Good Times, so you can see just how perfect the font is.

Below is a picture of both stamp sets.  They are both must haves!!
