SOUS Project: DEER


SOUS Friday Diecut Challenge: Use a deer on your project.

Here I am with this week's design team project for SOUS featuring a die cut of a deer!  Well, in my case, a family of deer.

I probably create an equal mixture of layouts and cards, but rarely do I make an altered project.  I didn't actually "alter" anything, but you get the idea. I was actually inspired with several different ideas to come up with this framed art. 

First, I saw this cute 8x8 frame in HL and the wheels started turning. Second, I recently helped a friend who wanted the use of my Cricut to make Christmas presents for her family.  She showed up with an arm load of Christmas colored paper and a very specific idea for her lettering.  The font I used on this is the same font she used on her altered projects. Lastly, I needed to use deer. So I rummaged thru my choice of files and "remembered" my deer family from myscrapchick.com!!!

This project is "mine"! Meaning I didn't lift this from anywhere I know.  I'm sure someone has made something resembling this before, but I still plucked this out of my own head.  Thank you for stopping by! I hope this week's die cut challenge at SOUS will inspire you to make something with a deer too!

Santa's Workshop: Diecut Challenge


SOUS Die Cut Challenge: Toys Toys Toys!!!
Santa's Workshop

Welcome back to Friday's SOUS die cut challenge: toys toys toys!!  I was lucky - I had the perfect picture to scrap of my son posing with Santa in his toy workshop!!  But, I did have to do some "research" to get the right die cut toys for this LO.  I ended up at www.svgcuts.com and fell in love with one of their files featuring nothing but "old time" toys.  The file has a good mixture of dies for both boys and girls.

And of course I'm overrun with AC Christmas paper and yes, used a lot of scraps!!  Also I scraplifted this LO from one of my pins on Pinterest. 

Thank you for stopping by and hope you feel inspired to make your own LO with toys!!! 



Dog, tricycle and car are all from svgcuts.com  The glittery chipboard items are from my stash.

The die and Santa nesting doll are also from svgcuts.com The flower is handmade by me.  I also used Spellbinders to accent the photo.

Thank You

Hello there!

I made this card for a special client at my work who provided a holiday dinner for all of us today.  What a treat!!!  She loves and cares for many animals and has been a huge supporter of our animal hospital.

So naturally, I asked to make her a special "thank you" card instead of getting her a store-bought card!!

Our client loves cats plus she provided a holiday meal so  . . . . I came up with this adorable cat from Treasure Box Designs plus I included a Santa hat from another file.  I followed a sketch by Mojo Monday.
