DCD Challenge

Hi Everyone!

Tuesday brings another new challenge at

Die Cuttin' Divas

Use an umbrella in your project.

Looking for umbrella ideas, I really liked this cute bird I found on the 3 Birds on Parade Cricut cartridge. 

4.5 x 6" kraft card base

Bird cut at 4.25

Fiskars cloud punch

Wooden stamp from Joann's
Foam squares to pop up the bird and sentiment

We hope you'll join in the challenge this week at Die Cuttin' Divas and make a card, layout, or altered project using an umbrella.  Be sure to use a die cut and link your post back to DCD's blog.

I hope my card gave you a laugh today; appreciate your visits and comments.

Thanks for stopping by.

Love Your Pet Day!

Bet you didn't know...

February 20 is Love Your Pet Day!

And so, the challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas this week is to 

create a project including your favorite pet.


Can you guess what my favorite pet is?!

This cute kitty comes from the Cricut Meow Lite cartridge.

 Oh, and what's that hiding behind my card?

It's one of my favorite pets, Smokey.  My husband calls him Puff Dog since he's kind of a hefty boy! But he's a real baby--a lovable snuggler and lap cat!

Come join Die Cuttin' Divas in the "favorite pet" challenge this week.  Create a card, layout or project incorporating your favorite pet; and be sure to use a die-cut and link your post back to the DCD blog site.

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Use the color Brown

 Hi Everyone!

It's Tuesday and time for

another challenge at

 Die Cuttin' Divas 

This week's challenge is...

use brown

Here's my brown card!

Wasn't quite sure what to make at first; I kept trying to think of things that are brown. I pulled out my Love You a Latte cartridge and a light bulb went off when I saw the bag of coffee.  And I thought I remembered having that cute sentiment from a set of coffee stamps.  I did!

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

You'll have one week to create your card, layout or altered project using BROWN.  Please be sure to use a die-cut and link your post back to the Die Cuttin' Divas blog site.

Thanks for stopping by; your comments are appreciated!

I'd like to also enter my card into the following challenges:

A Friendship Card

I've been experimenting with a new Cricut Cartridge I just bought, Creative Cards.  This card with the scalloped edge was cut at 6".  When I folded it, the back edge extended about 1/2" further than the front so I trimmed it off.  Cut the leaves from this cart, too.  But I used purchased flowers that I've had in my stash for a while, from Michael's, from their Dollar bins.  The tag is 1 of 3 Spellbinders Grommet Tags, stamped with an Inkadinkadoo clear stamp, and adorned with cute little button brads.  Added some lace and patterned paper near the bottom.  

This cartridge offers 5 different style cards in 4 versions each. So you can make 20 complete cards using this cartridge.  It also has a matching envelope for each style card.  I wanted this cart when I saw that it had a 3-fold style card with a window.  I'll show that on another post soon.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

A Paper Crafting Journey - bingo

(I used lace, diecut [leaves], and brads [the little buttons are brads], but it could have also fit into 

sentiment, buttons, and flowers!)
