Die Cuttin Divas - Sketch challenge

Happy Tuesday!
It's time for another Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge! This week we have a sketch for you. So get your paper out and come join us :)

I kind of flipped the sketch and made a few thank you cards. The day I made this it was raining and I think I was hoping for a rainbow :) 

I used the lil inker rainbow and cloud die and My creative time stamp. I added some embellishments that I made with perler beads.

Please pop over to Die Cuttin Divas Challenge and check out the DT and join us for the challenge! We would love to have you.

I just LOVE CAS for snow projects. I think less is more! I used the "Let it Snow" sentiment from the Snowman kisses set. Love this set - it's sooooo CUTE! I cut some trees and lightly brushed some white chalk ink on the tree branches.

I used  a die cut to cut a circle and dry embossed dots for a snowy effect. I added some snowflake paper and there ya have a snowy scene. I'd love to look out the window at Christmas and see snow :) I live by the beach and I don't think that's ever going to happen :)

So hop, hop, hop on over to Nicole she had a GREAT project for ya!

Are you ready for Halloween? Do you hand out treats of all sorts? I sure do, I take full advantage of this fun day! I give all the neighborhood kids special treats, all my son's teachers fun goodies, all the kids in his classroom get a homemade treat, and now I made these fun treats for my local coffee shop :) I got the idea from my blogger buddy Sherrie  she gave some treats to some of the college kids that worked at the coffee shop in town and I thought it was such a GREAT idea! She's so sweet and gracious and one of the MOST talented crafters I know :) 

So here are my fun treats...

I used the fry box from "Tags bags boxes and more 2" Pretty simple to put together. I used some fun papers that could be a little masculine as the treats are for young 20's and two boys. They are always so sweet to me and even though I don't go every day they still manage to remember my drink. It's pretty neat! 

I filled the boxes with some chocolate candy and tied them off with some Midnight Trendy Twine and an AWESOME sentiment from the newest set Ghostly Greetings I masked off the other words in the sentiment and just used Scary.

Hope you all have a terrific week and get to enjoy some crafty time :)

Craftin Desert Divas Fall Linky Party

I LOVE fall! I just want those warm fall colors all around me (even though it's still in the high 90's here). I really love to decorate my home for the holidays. So I created a little Fall decor.

I started with some Mason jars and thanks to many posts on pinterest I created some fun fall decor.

I just picked up some all purpose paint in the colors I wanted and painted several coats. The yellow and orange look better than the brown because I was a little impatient and didn't wait for it to dry before photographing:( Next I took a nail file and ran it over the words and then in various spots to  give the jars a distressed look. I added some pretty fall flowers and burlap twine and a cute tag.

The sentiment is from Craftin Desert Divas Simply Said & Fall is from Cricut Gypsy font

Die Cuttin Divas - Sketch Challenge

Happy Tuesday!!

It's time for another Die Cuttin Divas Challenge. Today's challenge is a sketch challenge. I think you know by now I LOVE a good sketch! It's such a great inspiration starter.  Most of the time I really change it up but this is a really great sketch so I only flipped it :) I didn't realize I forgot one element of the sketch and I was already on vacation by the time I noticed it so please forgive me :)

I decided to make a card with a nautical theme but I guess it looks like it could be a baby card too :)

The boat is cut from Cricut Just Because cards

The circles are die cuts from Lawn Fawn

The label is by Lil Inker Designs

Machine stitched

Sentiment - Craftin Desert Divas Summer Lovin

Craftin Desert Divas Linky Party - Christmas in July "Elf Tags"

Happy Monday!

So Last week I had a hard time getting into the Christmas spirit but boy did I find my Christmas mojo :) I can't wait to share these tags with you. I think the majority of my projects this Holiday will be tags... I never have enough. So here are my Elf tags.
 

So I started with fun tags from Lil inker designs and Echo park paper

Next I cut the boy and girl elves from Cricut Create a friend and sparkled them all up. I stamped their cut little faces with Peachy Keen stamps PK-1320. I tied the tags with some celebrations ribbon, some Totally Natural Trendy Twine and some jingle bells.

 

Last but not least I stamped "Happy Holidays" from the CDD stamp set Happy Celebrations

 

 

Don't forget... if you purchased a set from CDD, please make a project and enter the challenge or join the Craftin Desert Divas Gallery and show us your creation!

Have a WONDERFUL day!
