Baby, It's Cold Outside

Here's what I can up with for today's tag for the Ecal Users Group Christmas Tag Challenge.  I really love Miss Kate Cuttables titles and decided to use one of them with a simple Print 2 Cut for today's tag.  Fabulously easy!  I just left the colors the same as Miss Kate had in the png file, print, and cut. 

Another for the Stick It Down September Sketch Challenge

WooHoo!  I've completed both sketch layouts at Stick It Down for this month!  I'm beginning a new album and trying to select a new collection -  ran across this Brick Fire Station collection in my stash - I love the colors and patterns in this collection, and I think it'll be perfect for this new scrapbook. The title was digitally colored with the paper patterns from Brick Fire Station and Print2Cut on my machine.

Happy Easter

Well, you know I love me some watercolor images - and Creative Fabrica has some of the prettiest. 

I made a card with digital paper and print-2-cut the flowers, white border, and sentiment.  It's flowers - so I chose a sentiment from We Are 3's Spring set.

I had so much fun making that card, I wondered about being able to do the same thing with a colored frame....this is what I came up with.

Creative Memories Virtual Crop Sketch Challenge 2

It's Virtual Crop Weekend at Creative Memories with lots of inspiration with sketch challenges.  Always a fun weekend.  No prizes for me as I did not use Creative Memories papers - for this layout I used the Kawaii Ornament Digi Kit from Little Scraps of Heaven. I cut the heart and title on my Eclips.  I used Print2Cut for the Christmas embellishments.  Instant Christmas!  Just about all the embellishments came from my stash.  Woohoo - would love to see that stash disappear!  Be sure to visit the Creative Memories Virtual Crop Facebook page to see what everyone has made to inspire you and join in the fun tomorrow and Sunday for more fun.

I'm also entering this in the Eclips Users Group Anything Goes Challenge. 

Paper Ala Mode Angels Challenge

The designers at Paper Ala Mode brought fab inspiration to this week's challenge - themed Angels. All papers, angel, and sentiments are from our sponsor We Are 3.

The die cut behind the angel is an svg from Monica's Creative Room, welded to a rectangle for the solid bottom.

The angel's wings and halo are glittered, but the photo doesn't really show.  They are actually pretty awesome!  I added some pearls and hearts, and that's about it.

 

Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper Challenge

This week at Splitcoast Stampers, the Featured Stamper is pspapercrafts. I rested on a clean and simple card with a tree as a focus - as I had one Fairy Fir Tree left from my most recent makes. I also used some scraps from the Fantasy collection - the tree is paper pieced with some Fantasy paper as well. I added a Number Birthday sentiment, also from We Are 3.

         

A Special Fairy Card

I'm very excited for Bonnie who now has digital papers carried at Lavinia World Store. The newest Fantasy papers are also sold in the We Are 3 Etsy Store. I made this card using the new Fantasy papers and digital stamps from Lavinia. 

I used one of the adorable Baubles from Lavinia. She's printed with a background of one of the Fantasy papers, and I cut Fairy Trees from the same paper, as well as black.

The matting behind the bauble is from Monica's Creative Room...layers popped for dimension.

Tuesday Color Challenge

The Outlawz Tuesday Color Challenge is featuring purple/pink this week. I was pretty excited about this one because I knew I could find something that would work in my stash. The paper, ribbon banners, and sentiment are from We Are 3. I figured I'd finally get to use my Kadoodle Bug Bunny with Flowers - so that was sitting in my stash just ready to be popped on. 

This card was quick and easy - because I had all the hard work finished.  It's because I just really have too much in my stash!  When I need paper, sentiments, or images - I like to print a sheet full at the same time - so always have useful items in my stash.  Now that's just me - and I am often overwhelmed with how much is actually in my stash!  So I basically just slapped all this on my card and called it done.  These simple cards are generally more versatile than the creative cards anyways.

              

Happy Farm Life from Kadoodle Bug

My card today is a Get Well card using Happy Farm Life from Kadoodle Bug. 

Inside, I added our cousin "back in the tractor" for a littler personalization.  I don't know why - but I really got a kick out of having his arm hang out the window.  Tee, hee.

Waddles at We Are 3

It's another card from the new releases - Rainy Days and Waddles.

After going through my sentiments, I finally decided on a Happiness sentiment.

For the inside, I used paper from Watercolor Delights - visible from the outside.  Border is Stamping Up.  Be sure to stop by We Are 3's Facebook page to see other designs using Rainy Days and Waddles.

                                                      

Paper Ala Mode Valentine Challenge

Time for Valentine's Day cards. We Are 3 has papers and printables perfect for the occasion. Printables are a quick way to embellish a card - I fell in love with this cute couple called Just a Kiss. The papers and background heart are from the Hearts in Love collection, and I used scalloped hearts from the Silhouette Valentines set.  All of these are available at the We Are 3 Etsy shop.

I used a heart border sticker for the bottom.  This makes a cute Valentine or Anniversary card or, perhaps, a Wedding card.  This card was designed for the Paper Ala Mode Challenge at The Outlawz - Valentines.

                          

We Are 3 Snowman Oops

This week at We Are 3, we are celebrating winter with two new releases - Snowman Oops and Snowman Heart Mitten. I hate to admit how easy this card was to make! Pinterest helped me out a little - being inspired by a simple card I found myself casing. So here it is. Snowman Oops is precolored and cut with my Eclips The darling background paper is from the Pastel Angel collection...the sentiment from the Christmas set.

The image is partially popped.  It's really fun to see how the design team uses this image, so be sure to pop over to the We Are 3 Facebook page to see fabulous creations.  We sure would like to see what you make with this cute guy, too!  If you're not a member, just request to join!

                                        

Festive Friday Challenge - Christmas

My cards are very simple using the new Snowflakes set from We Are 3. I cut them in circle from with my Eclips. They are popped up on simple cards using papers from Honeycomb and Snowglobes - both We Are 3. Went together really quickly, but still beautiful Christmas cards - or winter note cards.

                  

Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper Challenge

Wasn't sure a card for this challenge was going to happen. Kind of a rough week here. Tiny little card - but created it in sessions - not enough time to get it done in all one sitting. I was determined to get it made, though. I used new We Are 3 papers and sentiment - Winter Plaid and 'Tis the Season, and the holly are from We Are 3's Holly Leaf set.

Embellishments include ribbon and gems.

          

Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper #648

I made this layout for this week's Featured Stamper at Splitcoast Stampers. I just LOVE when a layout turns out as I imagined...this turned out to be one of my favorites. The patterned paper in the background and matting is from the Look Up collection - as well as the patterns used on the banner (subtle, but from that same collection).

We Are 3 and a Cherry on Top

For today's card, I cut the Watermelon Cupcake and added it to a Fruity sentiment. I added the Fruity background, and a little accent from the HoneyComb collection.

I'm really happy with the results, especially after I added the few red gems.  Pop over to We Are 3's Facebook page and take a look at beautiful inspiration from all the design team members.

                                             

Kit and Clowder Butterfly Class

A while back, Kit and Clowder had a good deal on technique classes. I finally finished the first class - Butterfly! I don't think I've ever seen a pink butterfly! Did just Google it - and saw a beautiful pink butterfly with white dotted accents. Wish I had seen that while I was coloring! LOL!

This card is a 5-1/2" square.  This will probably work for a variety of occasions.  The black textured paper is from my stash from when I first started scrappin' almost 15 years ago!  That's why I don't throw anything away!  The pink floral paper is from the Pinkalicious collection at We Are 3.
