If The Scrap Fits

We are at the halfway point in our Pile it On challenge of Orange/Black/Purple.  In case you forgot, we are being sponsored by Ike's Art this month. For this week's card I went with a bit of a fun Halloween card using the colors.  The image is from Miss Kate Cuttables and I flattened it in my cricut explore and then cut it out.  The sentiment was a free one that I got online from LoveSVGonline.com  They have sooo many free images that you can use, it's crazy! I added a bit of glossy accents and some wink of stella, just to give it some sparkle and shine.  I also thought it would be fun with some enamel dots.  The DP is just from my stash.  I hope you think it's fun and don't forget to play along with us! Entered into these challenges: As You Like It: CAS or Fun & Fancy (and why) - I always struggle with CAS cards as I like to add lots of layers and bits and bobs..this is a bit on the simpler side and still (I think) a fun card without a...

Can you believe it is already the last day of July!  The summer is already half over :(  Summertime is my favorite time to just relax..and hey, guess what...that's our new challenge theme over at Cardz4Guyz!   Show us what relaxing means to you!  Is it hanging out in a chair on the beach, fishing, camping, or maybe yoga....let's see what you come up with. I had zero stamps that I could use for this challenge, so I decided to use my Cricut Explore Air instead.  I found an image that I really liked from the Fun in the Sun cartridge, that I cut out.  I added some fun paper from my Lakeside 6x6 paper pack from Pebbles (it's an oldie - 2012!).  The sentiment I found online and just printed it out on some colored cardstock.  It says Take Time to Relax and enjoy the good life. It's a little hard to see here but I added some glossy accents to his shirt and to the glass and umbrella just for a bit of added texture. Take some time to enjoy your summe...

It's all about the green this week at Creative Corner Challenges .  It's my month to host and with St. Patrick's Day coming up my challenge this week is Go Green.  You have to have something green on your project.  An easy challenge to be sure, so I hope many people sign up.  I'm even offering a little prize this week. Here's my card for this week's challenge.   Surprisingly, with St. Pat's being one of my favorite holidays (purely for the green factor) I don't have a lot of St. Pat's stuff.  I had green paper but nothing to go with it.  I printed off this image from Bugaboo Stamps as it was offered as a freebie although now I think it is for purchase in the store, thank goodness and the shamrock i cut out using my Cricut.  This is a really simple and flat card because it's doing double duty.  Not only is it for this challenge but I need to mail it out for a St. Patrick's day swap on Swap-bot.com.  The paper was all from my stash ...

It's a new challenge over at CCH and this week it's all about the shaped cards!  We would like to see some fun and unique shapes, anything that isn't your typical square/rectangle traditional.  Our sponsor this week is the Digi Doodle Shop and they have some fabulous images, some of which we got to play with.  Here's my card for this week The shape was cut out using one of my cricut cartridges ( A Child's Year I believe, very versatile).  I punched the butterflies using one of my cuttlebug dies and added a few bits of bling to liven them up.  The image was colored with my copics and the DP was just from my stash.  I have been introduced to flocking! I picked some up on sale at my LSS and love it, so the bunny's ears and her eggs are flock! Way cool!  I hope you like it and be sure to stop by the challenge blog and enter this week's challenge!
