My Cover for Cosmo Cricket Chemistry MIni Album Kit

I've been working hard on my Cosmo Chemistry Kit from Wild West Scrap Divas'. I wanted to try something new so I tried a Bead Binding on this album. I followed the tutorial on Youtube from Weezie. She does a great job explaining how to create this type of binding. To view the photos of my mini base check out my Sideshow here.

I have a few pages completed but just wanted to Share the Cover Today. There is still kits available if you would like to create your own Mini album.

6 challenges 1 Card!

Hi Everyone! Hope your week is going Great! Can you believe Tomorrow is Friday already. It has passed by so fast for me.  Don't forget to stop over at Wild West Scrap Divas blog to get your Valentines Cosmo Chemistry mini kit before they are all gone. Today I thought I would step outside the box and create a card not known to be my style. My inspiration came from many challenge blogs. The Shabby Chic Theme of the card came from Simon Says Challenge Blog. The colors pink and grey came from Cute Card Thursday. The Sketch came from Truly Scrumptious 23. An technique I do on almost all of my projects fit with the Frosted Design Ink Challenge. For the final Challenge I managed to sneak this one into was the Charisma Cardz Challenge which was Anything New. I used my Wags 'n Whiskers Bear Hug stamp to qualify for the No Red Valentine card. Phew I think I got them all.

One of my handmade Roses! I just love making these!

Squigglefly First Challenge for 2010

The Squigglefly Challenge Blog is back in action. While they took the month of December off the" powers that be" at Squigglefly were working hard going through all the entries to come up with the new design team. They have picked a great group of talented ladies!!! Their names and links to their blogs can be found on the Rt. side of the Squigglefly challenge blog. I'm so Proud to be one of those Lucky ladies. For this weeks First Challenge SFC#31 it was to make anything but a card. I created this adorable Tag to fit into a mini album I will be trading for the TWS Jan. Swap. It slides into the pocket on the June month page. Who doesn't like to cool off with friends under a sprinkle of water on a HOT June day. I colored the image with my Distress inks and accented with stickles. The background is lightly dusted with chalk to blend it all together. Thanks for stopping by to look. It will be interesting to see what everyone creates using the wonderful Squigglefly digital images.

Decorative Tag using Squigglefly image with room for a picture or journaling on the back.

{Scrap}beach Crop Challenges

Last night I attended the On-line crop for Life on the {scrap}beach in Ustream. I normally scrap while I watch but I was too chatty last night so I didn't complete any of the challenges during the on-line crop. Kathryn the creator of the site does these the first Sat of every month. It was pushed back this month due to Holidays. The next event is Feb. 6th.  I did sneak in some craft time today to work on a layout. I choose to do this challenge simple because I thought the idea was cute and I have NO scrapbook pages about me. I used my Cosmo Cricket Fleuriste paper collection. I hand-made all the flowers. I cut the flourish and letters with my Cricket. The leaves and atc transparency is 7 gypsies. I had so much fun creating this layout. I'm back at my craft table so I hope to post a few more tomorrow.

Thanks for looking.

2 cards to share!

I made two cards yesterday but have been so busy this is the first chance I have to post to the Blog. I spent most of the day at my nephews house celebrating his 4th Birthday. I made him a special Dinosaur card as they are his favorite. I used the Get happy paper collection from Cosmo Cricket. 

It was so cute when he opened it! he was "Aww cool! Look mom Auntie Dawn Made me a Dinosaur!" It don't get any better than a 4 year Old excited to get one of your cards! And he knew I made it even better!

This next card I made for Gina Ortiz to give to her friend  who has just started to undergo Chemo therapy! I wanted to make her smile when she sees it so I used this New released Squigglefly image Herby the Frog from Artist Chrissy Armstrong. Stop on over at the website to see more Amazing digital images! Squigglefly.com

Inside The Card it reads: Sending you Frogs and Kisses!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my creations!

Just a Cute Card!

I've been working hard on my TWS January swap mini and felt the need to take a break and make a card! I created this card for the Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge 6 Punches or dies! I used my Martha Stewart edge punch on the bottom and my NEW Wags 'n Whiskers Bear Hug Stamp. Which also qualifies it for the Flutter By Wednesday Challenge #91 Which had the Theme *NEW*

Thanks for Looking and Hope you have a Great Day!

My first Birthday card for 2010

I created this cute little birthday card for a friend whom I met through the internet! I used my Celebrations cartridge for my cricut to cut the cupcake then simple glued the pieces together! I glued the paper piecing to a folded card base then cut the edges to match the cupcake shape. I added some stickles, a candle sticker and viola super Cute and simple card!
I picked my paper choices based off the sketch from Caardvarks New Year Kick-off Challenge. 

It also fits the My Pink Stamper Cricut Challenge from today. Not really a challenge just something fun which was make a project (card, scrapbook page, 3D item, etc.) for a friend. Start the new year off by making something special for someone that you love or like. :)

Thanks for stopping by to look and I always love comments!
