Die Cuttin Diva - Favorite Colour Combo

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to a brand new challenge over at Die Cuttin Divas!  Today's challenge is to use your FAVORITE COLOUR COMBO.  I can't wait to show you what I created.

It will come as no surprise to anyone who visits my blog on occasion, that I really love pink.  My favorite thing is to use it with neutrals, like white (or cream) and black.  Today I decided to make a little set of note cards.  I used a cut from Lyrical Letters, that I flipped, so the leaf was on the left.  I then cut the letter M - my first initial - from the Quarter Note cartridge.  I added some little embellishments, and voila!  A simple note card, in my favorite colours.

Be sure to pop over to the Die Cuttin Divas blog, to see what my fellow Divas created, and please play along with us!  I can't wait to see what you created!

Mum's Monogram Card

Happy Thursday everyone!  So, as I said last week, I made my Mum some monogram cards for her birthday.  Here they are:

These are 4 1/4 x 4 1/4.  The "D" is from Quarter Note - I just love the font on that cartridge, it is so pretty! The shape the D is on, is cut from Elegant Edges.  The pink layer, is 4x4 and is embossed with Cuttlebug's Victorine folder.  You'll notice that I used 2 different ribbons.  I originally went with the pink, but found it was getting lost.  I tried the black, and liked that one better, so the last 4 have the black ribbon.  I used my pink Round it All to round the corners.  Mum really liked them!

A challenge or two for my cards:
Waste not Wednesday - everything to create these cards except for the case, came from my scrap box
Paper Take Weekly - anything goes
Bunny Zoe Crafts - anything goes
Hybrid Chick Card Caravan - use pink
Secret Crafter - anything goes

I'll be back tomorrow with the latest challenge from Pause, Dream, Enjoy Challenges, so be sure to come back and visit me then :)

52 Weeks of Tags - Acrostic

Happy Friday!  It is challenge day over at 52 Weeks of Tags.  Today's challenge was a doozy!  Janis challenged us to make an acrostic with our name.  Michelle is a really long name, and trying to fit it on a tag was a real challenge!  Here is what I came up with:

The tag is from Plantin Schoolbook, the tulips are from Walk in my Garden and the font is from Quarter Note.  I typed all the words out on the computer.  The paper is mostly CTMH.  Despite the challeneges, I am really happy with how this turned out :)

Please hop over to Pause Dream Enjoy, check out what the DT came up with, and play along with us!!

A challenge or two for my little tag:
Aud Sentiments - spring colors
Card and Scrap - use flowers

More Subway Style Art

Last week I showed the plaque I made for my mum. Today I am showing the plaque I made for my baby sister. Leslie is a doctorate student all the way across the country in British Columbia. She is studying Ethno-musicology at UBC, and spends a lot of time in Indonesia studying Gamelan. She is hard to buy for, so I decided to make her this plaque to help decorate her apartment:

The blue is not what I envisioned, but on the whole I am really happy with it! It uses lots of cartridges: Baby Steps, George and Basic Shapes, Gypsy Font, Lyrical Letters, Opposites Attract, Quarter Note, Robotz and Storybook. I designed her on my Gypsy girl - couldn't live with out her. I cut out the vinyl and adhered it to another plaque from Walmart. It has lots of wonderful musical terms and I hope Les loves it, and thinks of me when she looks at it!

Thanks for stopping by today.
