CIU #215 - Tic Tag Toe

 Hello and happy Friday, let the weekend begin!  Today's project share is my latest design team project for the Cut it Up Challenge blog, the sponsor for challenge #215 is DRS Designs.  We were charged with creating a tag using the following  Tic Tag Toe  board for inspiration:

This is one of those projects that I struggled with because I was finding it hard to bring the picture in my head to the paper. Early on I had selected the star wreath stamp from our sponsor, not sure but for some reason I like wreaths.  I just colored the digital stamp with my color pencil, inked the tag background with a stencil, I used the Joys of the Season cartridge for the bells and the Winter Woodland cartridge for the word Joy which I cut 6 times for some added dimension.; finished it off by adding some red ribbon! I'm sharing this tag for the Bitten by the Bug 2 Die-lirious Holiday Season challenge and The Sisterhood of Crafters Anything Goes Christmas/Winter.

Now that you've seen my tag, I hope you will head on over to the Cut it Up challenge blog for more design team inspiration, create and share your project that includes a tag, a die and elements from the tic-tag-toe board for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate from DRS Designs. The challenge starts today and ends, Wednesday, December 23 at noon EST.

Thank you for your visit, stay safe and have a wonderful weekend.

Sunday Musings

Hello and happy Sunday and it has been a really lazy day.  We had church online today so I haven’t been out of the house.  Today I am sharing another LO that I  created for my daughter’s college album. I used pattern papers from an Armed Service Uniform Collection 6x6 paper pad and  some Sticko and TH stickers for the title.   I used lots of intentional stuff on this LO and I have mixed feelings about the end result.  I used a Crafter’s Companion die for the diamonds used as a border and the Stand and Salute Cricut cartridge for the helmet.  I finished the LO with some TH small talk stickers, some Freckled Fawn enamel stars and some Heidi Swapp color shine.  I am a little behind with my creating for National Craft Month since Baby Girl has been home.  Although she is into her own activities and friends, I am cooking and cleaning more!

I am sharing this LO for the  Anything  but a card challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2 and the Anything Goes challenge #110 over at Cardz TV.

Thank you for your visit wishing you a wonderful week

Hello and happy Tuesday, seasonal temps in today's forecast.  So how goes your sleeping did you remember to fall back over the weekend?  Since November is traditionally the month of Thanksgiving and gratitude I decided to create a gratitude wall at work as a moral booster!  We are doing a 30 days of gratitude where each day a staff member list something.   I created the banner, acorns and leaves using the Pretty Pennant, Artiste, Designer Calendar and the Create-a-Critter  Cricut cartridges.  The small leaves and sunflowers are leftover items from other projects.   I'm sharing this LO for the Fall Holiday - Anything Goes challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2 and challenge #123 over at Love to Craft November challenge #40.

Reindeer Greetings

Hello and happy cold Tuesday, another inclement weather day for the kids but duty calls and I am going to work.  Today's card share uses sketch inspiration from the December card sketch over at Stick it Down.  The paper came from one of the AC paper pads that I think was originally sold in Target but I picked mine up in TM.  I used the Create-a-Critter 2 Cricut cartridge to cut the reindeer, used a glitter pen for the stitching and stamped the sentiment.   Another card created and going postal for the card angel group.  I am sharing this card for the Christmas card challenge over at Bitten by the Bug 2.

Thank you for your visit, hope you come again soon!

Happy Holidays

Hello and happy Tuesday, seasonal weather in the forecast for our area today.  Today I'm sharing a card created using sketch inspiration from Fab Friday sketch #151.  This card came together quickly and I like it!  I used some pattern paper from the Craft Smith Gold Gift 6x6 paper pad, an ornament cut from the  Joys of the Season Cricut cartridge,  some gold glittered tape from Dollar Tree and some trim that I picked up last year from Target.  I'm sharing this card for the Bitten by the Bug 2 ornament challenge and the Anything Goes challenge #76 on Cardz TV.

Take care and I have a terrific Tuesday!

Back to School

Hello and happy Wednesday, less rain in today's forecast.  Where does the time go, I need more hours in my days!  Today's project share is a card that I created for my daughter as it her last year of high school so I wanted something a little more grown up for her.  These are exciting, bittersweet  and emotional times for us.  When putting the card together I looked at several different sketches but decided to just go my own way using miscellaneous papers, a Paper Studio embossing folder for the bricks, diecuts from the Teen Scene and Wild Card 2 Cricut Cartridges, stamped the sentiment and added a piece of washi tape.  I'm sharing this card for the Back to School challenges over at Die Cuttin' Divas and Bitten by the Bug2.

Thank you for your visit and I hope you'll come back soon.
