Thank You Challenge

It's Tuesday and time for another challenge 

This week's challenge is...
THANK YOU.


I made this thank 'ewe' card, haha!


I used the Just Because cartridge, an oldie but a goodie.  This was the first cartridge I purchased after getting my Cricut Expression a little over 3 years ago. The bundle package I purchased included 4 cartridges, but just a few weeks later, this was the next cartridge I purchased separately.



Little hard to see, but I popped up the whole red/white mat with foam squares, embossed the sheep with Divine Swirls and the red mat with Argyle.  What do you think?


Hope you'll join the challenge this week and share your THANK YOU projects at Die Cuttin' Divas.  Be sure to use a die cut and link your post back to the DCD site.

Thanks for stopping by.

Say Cheese!

I've been wanting to use more of My Creative Time goodies that I've had for a while, and came up with what I think is a fun birthday card.  It certainly was fun to make!



The stitched frame, stitched banner, camera and sentiment are all products from MCT.  The cute mouse is from Create a Critter, along with the chunk of cheese.  Paper is Recollections Bold Basics.







Thanks for visiting my blog, I appreciate it!

It's a Button Challenge!


This week, the challenge at


USE BUTTONS!





I used buttons down the front of my snowman!  He is cut from the Winter Frolic cartridge.  The card is 6.5 x 5, so the snowman is cut at 5-1/2".  The background is from a Cloud 9 Design Photo Matstack of Harvest/Halloween/Christmas designs.  So I just matched up the colors with solid cardstock, and black for the shadow.  Always love shadows on images.  Ran his hat and gloves through my BigKick using the Argyle embossing folder.  The sentiment comes from BugBites Mistletoe stamp set. 


We hope you'll join in the challenge this week.  

You'll have one week to create your card, layout or altered project using BUTTONS.  Please be sure to use a die-cut and link your post back to the Die Cuttin' Divas blog site.  And check out the other Divas' projects for this week.

DCD's Sketch Challenge


This week, it's a SKETCH CHALLENGE 

Won't you join us?


I made a Christmas card!

This image was just too cute to pass up.  It came from our sponsor, Crafty Sentiments Designs.

I used a Sizzix die for the scalloped oval, and paper from the DCWV Christmas matstack.  Kind of quick and simple, this card came together rather easy for me (for a change).  Yeah!

Here's the sketch, which I turned and slightly modified for my card. 



We hope you'll join in the challenge this week.  

You'll have one week to create your card, layout or altered project using the sketch shown above.  Please be sure to use a die-cut and link your post back to the Die Cuttin' Divas blog site.  And check out the other Divas' projects for this week.

Thanks for stopping by; your comments are always appreciated!

Triple Play!


Here's a quick share of a card I made for a man I work with that just retired.  He and I started employment in the same month, October, 22 years ago!  Not only was he retiring, his last day of work was on Thursday, October 31, AND it was also his birthday!  How 'bout them apples?!


Here's the card I made for him.




And on the inside...



The word October came from the Happy Hauntings cartridge, and the numbers are from Plantin Schoolbook.  I liked them better than the ones on the HH cart.  The notebook edge is made with a Fiskars punch.  I had stamps for all the sentiments!  And added 2 star brads to complete the card.

Hope you like it, thanks for stopping by!
