Celebrate the Occasion Design Team: Challenge #3

Hey, everyone!  It's Tuesday again, so it's time for another challenge at Celebrate the Occasion.  This week's challenge is to make a project for any occasion, as long as you use the colors green, white, and one optional color.  I had a lot of fun with this project...here it is:

I chose to make a birthday card because it seems I never have enough of those.  This card is 5.75" square.  The iguana is from the Lettering Delights Love Pets SVG Set (which I cut using Make-the-Cut), and the hat is from the Birthday Bash Cartridge.  I printed the sentiment on a piece of white cardstock and embossed the top portion with my Cuttlebug and the Tiny Bubbles embossing folder.  I added a strip of patterned paper, some stitching lines, some ribbon, and some brads, and that was it!  I hope you like my card!

Now, head on over to Celebrate the Occasion to check out the other Design Team Members' projects and to enter the challenge yourself!  Each week's winner is entered into a drawing to win an awesome monthly prize!  This month's prize is a Cricut Cartridge: Rock Princess.  I hope you join in the fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  If you like what you see, I'd love it if you'd leave a comment and become a follower.  :o)

Egg Waterfall Card

The other day, I was browsing around on the SVG Cuts Blog when I noticed that the cutest set of waterfall cards were offered as a special FREE GIFTwhen you spend $9.98 or more in the SVG Cuts store.  So, I couldn't resist, and it didn't take me long to find something else I wanted so I could get this little set for free.  Well, ever since I got this little set, I've been dying to make one of the cards!  I chose to make this cute little Egg Waterfall Card:



This card was so SUPER EASY to make!  All I did was import the SVGs into Make-the-Cut, arrange them on a 12 x 24" mat (just so I could fit everything in one cut--you could do it on a 12 x 12" mat), and cut them out.  Arranging them was even a breeze because they are already broken down by color.  Then, I just had to pick the papers I wanted (all of the patterned papers are from DCWV's Nana's Kids Stack), and cut all of the pieces out.  Assembling it was also easy because there's a great video on the site that shows exactly how to put one of these cards together (this is the 1st waterfall card I've ever made).

I'm entering this card in these challenges:

Get in Shape: Jitterbuggin' Challenge
Any Type of Card: Crazy for Cricut
Spring Card: Paper Cutz Challenge
Anything Goes: Party Time Tuesdays

I hope you like my card, because I sure do!  ;o)  Thanks so much for stopping by!  By the way...I'd love it if you'd leave a comment and become a follower if you like what you see on my little blog.  :o)

Guitar Club Binder

My older daughter is just SUPER excited because she just joined the Guitar Club at her school.  She's going to be learning all about the strings and some simple chords and simple songs.  Then, in May, she'll get to give a little concert.  Well, ever since we got the application to join the club, it's all she's been talking about.  So, we decided to make a cover for the binder she'll need for the club meetings.  Here it is:



She wanted it to look a little like the You Rock Card I made a little while ago, so I used the same guitar cut from the Hannah Montana cartridge and cut a background circle from Birthday Bash.  The lettering and the music notes also came from Hannah Montana.  I just wanted to share our little project with you...now I'm off to make my first waterfall card!  :o)  Thanks for stopping by today!

Ooo-La-La Award!

I'm so excited that my Girly Paisley Card made the Top 10 over at My Sheri Crafts for her last challenge.  I'm so excited! 

I haven't posted any projects for a few days, but I have some good ones coming up!  I'll be working on a project with my daughter today, and I have a waterfall card that I really want to try out, so I'll hopefully have something to post soon.  Anyway...thanks for stopping by!  :o)

New Etsy Shop

Well, I decided to take the plunge and list some of the cards I create on Etsy.  This is really kind-of scary for me, but I'm also really excited.  I hope this ends up being worthwhile.  I'll be in the process of listing items this weekend, so if you'd like to see what I'm selling, check out my sidebar.  Also, you can visit my little Etsy shop here.
