Sentimental Sundays: Die-Cuts; No Standard Shapes

Hello Everyone. Hope you have had a wonderful weekend so far. It's time for another Sentimental Sundays Challenge!

This week our challenge is to use die-cuts. But, not just standard shapes. We want you to get out your die-cutting tools and have fun.


For this challenge, I decided to use my Cricut and Cindy Loo Cartridge which is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.

I cut out three branches and three branch outlines in three different sizes and layered them with pop-dots to create a 3D look.

Now, it's your turn to give it a try. Get out your die-cutting tools and step out of your comfort zone. Stop by Sentimental Sundays to see what my fellow team mates created. You're guaranteed to be delighted!

Die Cuttin Divas: Squirrel Appreciation

Happy Tuesday! It's time for another fun challenge at Die Cuttin Divas!

Squirrel Appreciation Day is January 21st. So your challenge this week is to use a squirrel on your project.


I made my squirrel using the Cindy Loo cartridge and my Cricut.

My fellow DT members got really creative with this challenge and came up with some cute sentiments. I decided to be practical and make it a fall themed card as I never have enough of those when it's time to send them out.

Stop on by the Die Cuttin Divas blog to see the fabulous inspiration from my team mates. Then, join us for the challenge.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

The Squirrel and the Fox- Challenge #9: Critters

ODBD Stamping in Time Challenge 40: Doilies

When I saw the Stamping in Time Challenge over at Our Daily Bread Designs I just knew I had to play along. I love using the doily cuts that are on my Cricut Cartridges.

For today's project I used <Doily3> from Cindy Loo. 

I used the Viva la Verve August Week 1 Sketch as my starting point.

For my project I chose to create another 6x6 scripture page for my SIL's gift album I'm working on. My scripture is framed with another cut from Cindy Loo: <Filigre3>Frame. I added White Opal Liquid Pearls around the inner and outer edges of the frame. All the papers are from Stampin' Up!® and the wide lace is from our local Hancock Fabrics.

CPC Color Monday Challenge 101: Sitting Pretty

It's time for our Color Monday Challenge over at Christian Paper Crafts. Here is the inspiration photo for this challenge.

 

I was also inspired by this sketch from Mojo Monday.

It's an oldie but a goodie from March of 2009 and you can see the original post HERE.

For my color scheme I decided to use the colors that you can just barely see hints of such as the red and green along with the vanilla.

Here is the finished project
