Christmas Magic at We Are 3

I personally happen to think this project is one of my favorites.   

We Are 3 products used:  Shabby Christmas, Christmas Magic

Pretty Papers product used:  Bethlehem Silhouette

Other:  Big Boutique Boxes - SVGCuts

Photos don't do this project justice - this box is 9-1/2" x 9-1/2" x 9-1/2".  It's gong to make great packaging for a special Christmas gift.

Fairy Land Easter Egg

It's Spring, and that means Easter will soon be here.  For these Easter Egg treats, I used adorable papers from the Fairy Land and Cute Halloween collections. 

Have a Nice Day

It's Friday and the last day of another FABULOUS Tag challenge at the Eclips Users Group.  I took the easy route this year - but did make an attempt to go all out for the last tag....until my machine crashed!  So I improvised and really happy with my results - although simple.  I made a simple scalloped egg tag using SVGCuts Easter Egg. 

I colored the roses digitally and popped them up for a bit of dimension.

The sentiment is from Design Bundles.

Baby Birdie

This is the fourth day for the tag challenge at the Ecal Users Group. 

Obviously, I've opted for something simple.

I used We Are 3's retired Baby Birdie for the image.  She is colored digitally.    

The sentiment is from SVGCuts.

Finally, the tag is cut from 6 Trendy Tags - My Scrap Chick.  Simple tag - but sweet, don't you think? 

Easter Tag Challenge at Ecal Users Group

Can't let Easter go by without celebrating with the gals in the Eclips and Ecal Users Group.  The chick is from Miss Kate Cuttables that was a freebie five years ago.  Miss Kate continues to give freebies from time to time - Woo hoo!   The sentiment was a freebie from SVGCuts.  The paper was a freebie, too - probably from Miss Kate Cuttables.  Are you seeing a theme here?  I printed this as a single-layer tag, using a tag from My Scrap chick for the tag shape.  Easy peasy.  Happy Easter!

A Swingin' Christmas

These Christmas cards are for my hubby's favorite golf partners.  The three of them are like Larry, Moe and Curley.  LOL!  For this first card I used Tim Holtz Ideal-ology cardstock for the stocking, embossed golf clubs from SVG Cuts (Fun and Games)  and Power Poppy Hollyberries.  

My second card "sports" a golf-ball ornament.  Ideal-ogy cardstock is used for the background - the additional ornament is from Miss Kate Cuttables (Vintage Ornaments).

Challenges:

• Doodle Pantry - Anything Goes
• Fab 'n' Funky - Christmas
• Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas - Christmas
• Crafty Hazelnut's Challenge Extra - Christmas

Loving Scraps this Christmas!

Thanks so much for joining me this season so see my many Christmas cards (should be close to 160 this year if I finish my list).  Aren't Christmas cards fun?  I am now enjoying them that I'm on the downswing - about ten more to go.  I have a simple beauty for you today.  

The gold-glittered mulberry paper is paper I bought when I first began scrapping 11 years ago.  I knew eventually I would find the perfect use for it.  The poinsettia is one of many I have leftover from a scrapbooking class I taught at an assisted-living home years ago.  Today - a four-minute project...what a treat!

2015 Pet-Adoption Event - April 11

April 11 is Tucson's Pet Adoption event, so what better time to scrap the four-legged friends in your life with birthday wishes.

This is your chance to wish two-legged friends with "ruff" and "purr-fect" birthday wishes.  There are a lot of different digital files to suit your personal taste and designs for cards.  BTW, if you are in the Tucson area, you will probably be able to find a four-legged friend to suit your personal taste at the Pet-Adoption Event, too.

Easter Fresh

Yay!  I love this bunny from Digital Crea so much!  Here's a card I made for my grandson for Easter (can you believe I didn't have an Easter card in my stash?)  I just think this bunny is awesome!  I love the colors - even though they aren't quite traditional Easter.  The inspiration for this card came from the paw-print frames I've been using for Pet-Adoption cards - looks like a bunny print to me!  Super easy and simple to pull together.

The sentiment is a free digital sentiment from Bross Artful.

Birthday Cards

Puppies are great for sending greetings - including birthday.  Whether it's from a digital image or stamp, using a pup meakes for a fun, homemade card.  And the best part?  Puppy files are easy to find from SVG Cuts, 2 Cute Ink, and Kadoodle Bug.

Paw Prints

I love simple paw prints on my animal-themed cards - especially die cuts.  Today I want to share four of my paw-print cards.

Happy Spring!

I love playing along with Suzy Bee's Weekly Challenge - this week's challenge is ATG with sparkle!  Be sure to take a peak at all the sparkly entries!

My inspiration today came from Kim Paley at Crafts U Print with her Butterfly Scroll Frame.  However, I didn't care for my first card....though I like the idea of the butterfly frame.  So more searching lead me to SVG Cuts Butterfly Garden Frame Collection...I was so inspired by the Butterfly Garden frame - but wanted to move the butterflies around.  After hitting a variety of buttons - I found by using Exclude on eCal I could weld the butterfly to the frame and get the cut I want.  I had an amazing time....made eight cards, with four more to go!  here are four I made with "sparkle" - glittered butterflies.
