Imagine That Color Challenge--Thank You

Well, since I am on a mission to make thank you cards for all 10 parents who went on our field trip with my class, I thought I might as well enter one of them into this challenge. :)  Since I hate mass producing, I am making each of the ten cards different!  So here is the fourth card I've made! 

For this challenge over at www.creativetimeforme.com  you had to use the colors black, grey, white, and pink.  I don't have an Imagine machine so I used patterned paper by Recollections called Hollywood & Vine Swing Time.

Hi Turtle Card

This card was made to enter into the Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Digi Challenge #6.  You can enter this challenge at  http://www.thescrapbookingqueen-challenge.blogspot.com/
I had the most difficult time learning to use my Silhouette Cameo today trying to figure out how to use a Digi Image.  First off, I used a free image from Scrap Happy Paper Crafter http://www.scraphappypapercrafter.com/2012/03/free-digis-for-thursday-pirate-peeps.html?showComment=1331835487160#c1090704649274836418  .  Thank you to Scrap Happy for the free Digi Image.  The difficult part for me today is that my Silhouette couldn't detect the Registration Marks.  So I had to reprint and then cut.  For some reason it was able to detect the registration marks the second print out.  I don't know what went wrong the first time.

Anyway, I also wanted to enter the very first Wobble Wednesday challenge over at http://wobblewednesdayschallenge.blogspot.com/  so I incorporated a wobble into my design.  I just love thos little wobbles.  I love it when  my image can move around.  I could play with it all day.  It's too bad a picture can't do it justice!

Other items I used to make this card was My Creative Time's Teeny Tag Greetings Stamp Set, Tim Holtz Distress Inc, ribbon from Michaels,  and Misc. Paper from my paper stash.
Have a great Thursday Everybody.....all 31 of my followers.....hehehehe

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #65

I made this card for my Bestie, Melissa who had surgery today in the hodpital.  I can't wait to bring her this card tomorrow and see her!!! 

I used My Creative Time's Stamp set called, All Around Christmas for the Mrs. Clause Suit that I paper pieced after watching the video.  (Tip:  Don't use a small stamp!!!  This was really hard to cut out the tiny little pieces!)  The sentiment is from My Creative Time's This and That stamp set.

I used the sketch given at peachykeenstamps.blogspot.com  for challenge #65.  Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out a way to incorporate a cute little Peachy face on this one.  I have a limited number of stamps, so I couldn't do paper piecing and use a Peachy Face stamp. :(  Bummer.  I just love their cute little faces!!!

Well, it is time to read my little man his bedtime story.  I must go for now.  Happy Crafting, my Creative Friends!

Starburst Halloween Treats

I made these sweet little treats for my students tomorrow at school.  I wanted to share something special with them on this famous holiday! :)  I don't think I can bare to watch them open them up after all the work I put into putting them together. hehehehe  So I decided to share them here with you my creative friends.  Shared among friends who will appreciate all the hard work and love that went into making them.  :)  I used My Creative Time's All Around Halloween Stamp Set and Scallop and Circle Die set.  I used Tim Holtz orange Stickles to add that adorable little bling to the pumpkin!  The ribbon is from Michael's craft store and I just cut black cardstock 4" x 5 1/2 " to fit around the starburst candies!

Look how many students I have!  It takes FOREVER to make treats for 32 compared to 20!!!!!  Will I ever get used to it?

Joy Board Book

Hello, my creative friends!  I am soooo super excited.  Emma at My Creative Time is having a Design Team Call.  I would love to be on her design team so I created the following project to enter into her DT challenge.  I made this board book for my niece Savannah for Christmas.  I got the idea from a video Emma (www.creativetimeforme.com) did last year for Halloween.  It was a board book that said, BOO!  I cut the chip board from a cereal box on my cricut using the deep cut blade.

I used the following products to make this little board book:
1.  Me & My Big Ideas Specialty Cardstock
2.  DCWV Holiday Collection, The Christmas Cardstock Stack
3.  Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More Cricut Cartridge
4.  Cuttin Up Cricut Cartridge
5.  Scallop & Stitched Circle Die (My Creative Time Die...  www.creativetimeforme.com)
6. Curly Label Die (My Creative Time Die.... www.creativetimeforme.com)
7.  All Around Christmas Stamp Set (My Creative Time...see above for website)
8.  Inspiring Words (Accents) (My Creative Time.... www.creativetimeforme.com)
9.  Stickles
10.  All ribbon and little jewels on back page are from Michael's Craft store.
11.  Glitter  red Felt ( I learned to use this from Emma too!  Her dies cut so nicely out of felt!)

Well, Good Night, my creative friends!  I can't wait to see if I get picked to be on Emma's new DT.  She is my crafty idol and I would be so honored to be part of her Design team.  All of her stamps and dies truly are TERRIFIC!  But most of all, she is the sweetest, most patient crafty teacher I've ever known.  I've been following her blog for about two years now.  I learned everything I know from her videos using her Gypsy.  In fact, I got a Gypsy for Christmas that first year they were out from my terrifically thoughtful husband.  I didn't even know what it was and wasn't even that excited.  My Bestie, Melissa, turned me on to Emma's blog at My Creative Time.  I started watching her videos and learned how to use my Gypsy.  Now I'm in love with this little piece of genius!  Emma has always been so accomodating in her videos and e-mails to answer my questions.  And although, I am an amateur at all this crafty business, I am thrilled to make thoughtful gifts for those God puts in my life!  And I am ever so grateful for all the neat tips and tricks I've learned from My Creative Time!

I used My Creative Time's Curly Label and Inspiring Accesnts stamps for the sentiment.  I used Peachy Keen's Critter Face Asst stamps for the face of my pumpkin.  The pumpkin stamp is from My Creative Time's All Around Halloween Stamp Set.  And I placed it on her circle scallop die cuts.  The paper is from a DCW Halloween paper pack.

Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge 60

I made this card for a dear friend who is leaving our school district.  It will be her going away card.  Unfortunately, my nontechy self couldn't figure out how to turn the bottom pic around.  I wanted to show the inside of the card.  Anyway, I really like how it turned out!  (well, I was a little disappointed that my stamp pad is running out and my Peachy Keen Face didn't turn out as bright as I'd hoped it would.  Any suggestions? ) Hope you like it too!  I am entering into Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #60. :)
