Now and Forever

Hi everyone, it's my day to share a project over at Craftin Desert Divas.  I have a pretty card to share with you today.  Today is "Throwback Thursday".  Any project you see on the Craftin Desert Divas blog on Thursdays will feature one of Tara's older, amazing stamp sets.  Here is what I created today:

I just love this elegant wedding card, that I found in the Silhouette Store.  I decided that I wanted to emboss the sentiment in White Embossing powder, so that it would show up on the black of the tuxedo.  I found the perfect sentiment on the Simply Said stamp set to create this project.  Here is a close up of the sentiment, so you can see how perfect the sentiment is, and how well it embossed!

If you have not yet added Simply Said to your collection, you need to!  I find myself reaching for it all the time.  There are perfect sentiments for occasions and for every day creations. 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 card:

Baking Fun

Happy Wednesday everyone!!  It's my day to share a file over at Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbons.  I have a cute little project to share with you today and of course it uses some of Lisa's AMAZING files!!  Here is what I created today:

My daughter and I love to bake, but, of course, we can't eat everything we bake, or we would be the size of a house... so, we give a lot of it away.  These cute little tags are the perfect thing to attach to our baked goods, before we give them to friends.  Here is a close up of each tag:

These tags were created with the Baking Fun cutting file and the tags were cut from the great Layered Labels 1 cutting file.

Here are the other two tags:

Aren't those little kitchen utensils ADORABLE??  They are from the Baking Fun file too!  The tag base is from the Made With Love Tag.

Each of the tags has a sentiment from Craftin Desert Divas "Baked With Love" sentiment set.  I thought they were the perfect addition to each tag! 

These tags were SO easy to put together!  Lisa's files cut SO wonderfully!  Now my daughter and I just need to make some goodies to make to go along with these tags!

A challenge or two for my tags:

Papertake Weekly - anything goes

Bloggers - tag your it

Dorcerela Challenges - anything goes

Happy Monday everyone!  We are mid-way through the Linky Party over at Craftin Desert Divas and it is Team B's Day to inspire you.  Tara challenged us to create a SUMMER project.  Here is what I created:

Isn't it a cutie?!?  I am so excited that summer may finally be arriving.  It was such a long winter here.  This cutie little mermaid is from Teddy Bear Parade Cricut cartridge - love that one...  The sun is from Doodlecharms.  I embossed the waves and her little fish body with some embossing folders i bought at a new LSS I went to last week.  That's also where I found the enamel dots.

The sentiment is from Summer Lovin.  It was my very FIRST CDD stamp set ever, and I just love it!  So many great sentiments on it.  You can buy your own at the Craftin Desert Divas Store.

I hope you all come play with us!  There is still one week left to link up.  We have 2 amazing sponsors for this Linky Party:

Hello!

Happy Wednesday everyone!  It is my day to share a project over at the Pretty Paper Pretty Ribbon blog, featuring some of Lisa's amazing cutting files.  Here is what I created:

I love this little Matryoshka Doll file!  I have had my nesting dolls since I was a little girl, and I plan to get one for my daughter too.  She is resting on a label from the Layered Labels 2 file.  That file is one of my "go to" files these days!

The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas "Simply Said" I find myself reaching for cards that I can send to the teacher, or a friend, and this set has lots of great sentiments for that.

Happy Graduation

Happy Monday everyone!  We are mid-way through the Linky Party over at Craftin Desert Divas and it is Team B's Day to inspire you.  Tara challenged us to create a GRADUATION project.  Here is what I created:

Isn't it adorable?!  I love Hello Kitty, and I think she makes the most adorable Graduate.  The patterned paper is from Doodlebug while the cardstock is from Recollections.  I used the Seeing Spots Cuttlebug embossing folder on the mat just under Hello Kitty.  I used the Banner Die to cut the flagged mat. 

The sentiment is from Happy Celebrations.  You can buy your own at the Craftin Desert Divas Store HERE.  I also used the Banner Die on this card, which you can find HERE.

I hope you all come play with us!  There is still one week left to link up.  We have 2 amazing sponsors for this Linky Party:
