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!

DCD Challenge - Thanksgiving

This week, we're celebrating Thanksgiving.  

Show us your Thanksgiving themed cards, layouts, or altered projects.

Here's the card I made for this week's challenge.

This turkey comes from the Stretch Your Imagination cartridge, and the scalloped oval is from Elegant Edges.

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

You'll have one week to submit your card, layout or altered project with a Thanksgiving theme.  Be sure to include a die-cut and link your post back to Die Cuttin' Divas.

It's a Button Challenge!

This week, the challenge at

Die Cuttin' Divas is...

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 

at Die Cuttin' Divas.  

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.

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!
