Die Cuttin' Divas Sketch Challenge

Hi Everyone, and thanks for dropping by!

This week's challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas is a sketch challenge. 

I love the idea of putting different patterns together to form a "patchwork quilt-look" and I was able to make good use of my scraps that I've been saving now for months.  When I get down to real small pieces of cardstock and patterned paper, I cut them into 1" squares.  So I made a small card,
3-1/4" square.  I thought it would make a cute little note card.

With the bright and pretty spring colors of my patterned papers, I just couldn't resist adding a "springy" image to this card.  Here it is!  Just clean and simple--but cute, don't you think?! 

The bunny is cut from Doodlecharms, and stamped with a PK face!

Then I was inspired to make another small card.  On this one, I added a chick, cut from Simply Charmed!

It was really fun creating the patchwork backgrounds, so I made a few more small note cards that I can add an image to at any time, as I use them.  What do you think?

Our sponsor this week is Suzanne, one of our DT members. 

Now try your hand at making a card, layout, or altered project using the sketch shown above.  You'll have one week to create and post it at Die Cuttin' Divas. Please remember to include which die cut you used and a link back to our site.

We look forward to seeing your projects!

Fun Silly Card!

OK, you're gonna laugh at this -- I have to share it.  I made a trip to Tuesday Morning the other day and rooted through their craft items, and found a couple good bargains, I thought.  Picked up this Marvy punch, wondering what it was supposed to be.  I thought it looked like a spout of water, or a squirt or water, or a splash, and started thinking of several ways I could use it.  So I bought it.

Tonight, I pulled out my Create a Critter cartridge, and cut out the cute whale (at 3 inches).  I cut off the spout that was there because I thought the punch would look better.  Stamped some Peachy Keen eyes on it and drew in a mouth.  And I just made a small note card (3-1/2" square).   Here's my card.  I think it turned out cute, don't you?

Well, here's the funny part.  The punch had a sticky label on it that I pulled off.  I hadn't noticed this at the store, but the label said "lily" on it.  Ummm, maybe it's just me...but I'm still having trouble seeing a lily in this punch, even when I tried this.  What do you  think?

Thanks for reading my li'ly story!
