If The Scrap Fits

Hiya everyone!  I'm here with this week's Cardz4Guyz challenge!  Our theme, chosen by Sue, is Wild Animals!  What a great idea!  No doubt you all have some fun wild animal stamps or even layouts/projects about them or a trip to the zoo maybe?  Lots of choices. For me, I was cleaning out my stamps bucket and came across this Paper Smooches one that I hadn't used in awhile.  It's the Chubby Chums and the matching dies!  (check them out in the store here ) I have had these papers in my stash for awhile and used some of them for a previous project but I still  managed to squeeze out another card!  I hope you like it and don't forget to play along with us this week!  I can't wait to see what you create!

Hello Monday Peeps!  Have you stopped by th e UYS blog today? Our new challenge is up!  This week we are using triangles! So I decided to go with a layout today because I really wanted to try a background die cut.  I came across this one from Bits and Pieces .    I thought it would be fun to do a Disney Layout and back the pieces with my Disney papers.  The actual diecut is called Shattered Glass but it has some fun triangle pieces to it. I used DP from Simple Stories & Echo Park, as well as their embellishments.  The sentiments are die cuts from Stampin Up and the internet. I hope you like the layout and feel free to stop by the blog and play along with this week's challenge!

Have you stopped by the Christmas Crafts All Year Round blog yet?  Our new monthly challenge is up.... Normally when you think of Christmas, you think cold and snow...this month, we want you to think WARM!  Use warm colors on your project ...reds, yellows, oranges. This was a bit of a tricky one for me.  I scoured all my Christmas stuff and I didn't really have anything in those warm colors. Then I happened upon some sheets for a Simple Stories album...since I don't do mini albums, I decided to cut the sheets I wanted to create my card instead.  One of those sheets was this really cool star die cut in a glitter cardstock...I thought this would make an awesome layer.  I did some fussy cutting on another sheet for the flowers and then I picked up a new die cut earlier this year, that I haven't used yet.  It's from Penny Black called "Joy to the World".  I wanted to add a bit of orange in there so I cut it out of orange glitter paper and added ...

Hello one and all! I have a new layout for you today to go along with our new challenge up at Use Your Stuff!   This week's theme is border punches!  I've not been using mine regularly so it was nice to pull them out and play a bit. My layout today is also the March Scrapbook & Cards Today 365 2018   class.  I must say, now that I have committed to doing these classes, I have been finding my love for scrapbooking again, and it's a nice change from doing cards all the time.    For this layout I pulled out a kit that I had created several months ago for a crop and just never got around to using.  The papers are from Everyday Circus by Fancy Pants, as well as some Simple Stories and Heidi Swapp mixed in.  My border punch is EK Success (and I had to practically blow the dust off of it!.) The embellishments stars are cut from the DP and I also used a few pieces from October Afternoon's Saspirilla collection (I've been holding onto these...
