Happy Birthday To You

Hello there! Today I'm here to share with you my fabulous birthday box for a special someone. 

I chose a U.S.A. theme simply because this is for a previous exchange student and his birthday is coming up. He will be spending it here in the U.S. with us!!!! Super excited to see him again! It's going to be filled with U.S.A. themed goodies. *Shhhh*

The box is from SVGCuts - Country Market. The arrow is meant to hold LED lights, but I chose not to do that part. It was easy to make and it's perfect for anyone with any theme.

I am also entering this into the DL Art: Red, White, and Blue challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Supplies:
Paper:
--BoBunny - Anthem (the whole thing)

Bo Bunny cardstock sticker
Glue

Live life to the fullest: PDE Linky Party

Hello there!! I'm here today with PDE Linky Party Challenge: Buttons!

I love this balloon box card by SVGCuts. It's just so versatile. Pick any theme with it and you will have a whole new card.

I really took the plunge with the color scheme. I grabbed a couple sheets of paper that I knew I wouldn't be using on layouts. I have really liked my cards when I end up using "different" style paper for them than I would use for other projects. I really didn't know if I would like the end results but I just kept going. In the end, this is one of my favorites.

Try it! I double-dog dare you!

I am also entering this into DL.Art's Linky Challenge as well.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Supplies:
SVGCuts
Stamp: My Craft Spot

SOUS DIE CUT CHALLENGE: ANYTHING WITH WINGS

Hello and welcome! This is my last die cut challenge with SOUS since the founders are moving on to bigger and better things. StuckonUSketches has been a grand adventure for me as I love to make die cuts. 

I want to thank Nanne and Leah for having me on the die cut team on and off for the last two years. In a way, my last project is dedicated to those two lovely ladies. Thank you for the opportunity!

I rummaged around the Silhouette online store for inspiration for the theme "wings". Then it hit me!! Butterflies!!  This easel card is by Lori Whitlock and sold thru the Silhouette online store.

I am submitting this to the DieCuttin'Divas challenge for this week: Anything Goes. Also to the monthly Silhouette Challenges: Anything Goes as well. I just discovered this challenge site yesterday! Figures. Also submitting to DLART - Anything Goes  linky challenge.

Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to stop by again as I have many more future projects to share with you.

Shaped card from Silhouette Studio

BUDDY

Hello there! Today I am sharing with you a layout I did following the sketch from MyScrapsandMoreSketches.

I really went back in time for this one. My son was two in this photo (he's now eight). So I dug around in my stash until I could find cute and cuddly boy paper. Wasn't TOO hard. LOL

Thanks for stopping by today.

"I'm cute" is a brad and present from my sister.

Supplies:
Paper
--Echo Park and others (I forgot)
Wooden embellishments
Stickers (various places too)
Shaped Die cuts

Sorry my supply list is so vague. Really don't remember where most of this came from.

Mr. & Mrs.

Hello and welcome! Today I get to announce that I'm part of the PauseDreamEnjoy DT team. It is a "link party" DT with a new theme every Friday. Very easy, wide open themes. Great way to see other crafters and for people to see you.

I am also submitting this project to the Die Cuttin' Divas challenge for this week. The challenge being "weddings".

I made this card using the title from MissKateCuttables. If you are new to my blog, then let me just say I love die cuts. I have a few favorite places where I purchase files and am always looking for new ways to incorporate die cuts into cards and pages. I even try mixing it up with the latest trends and usually find a way to fit a die cut somewhere on my project.

Supplies are listed below.

Thanks for stopping by today!!!

Supplies:

Die Cut:

---Title from Miss Kate Cuttables

My CRAZY kid

Hello there! Today I am sharing with you a layout in which I am using the monthly sketch challenge from Creative Sketches.

I used papers from all over my stash. Whenever I make a layout about my son I tend to reach for the blues, oranges and reds. He is not old enough for me to "feel" that I should be making "grunge" type layouts about him.

I took this photo of my son on a family trip last summer. It was "crazy" how hard it was to take a good picture of him. He's getting rebellious about photo taking "time".

I took ideas from my sister and reached for embellishments from everywhere in my stash.

Thanks for stopping by today!

"Crazy" was made using SCAL3.

The captions are stickers from all over my stash. I have
a whole drawer full of them.

Whenever I make flags I always reach for my small scraps left
over from card making.
I never punch a large sheet of paper. Not anymore at least!

Supplies:

Paper:

--We R Memory Keepers "Quoted"

--Pink Paislee "Hello Sunshine" (background)

--Scraps (flags)

--AC Black Cardstock

Creative Embellishments - wooden gears

Brads

Stickers (all over the place)

SCAL3 (title)

Die cut arrow

SOUS DIE CUT CHALLENGE: SUMMER

Hello and welcome to my blog for this week's die cut challenge: Summer! Too easy right?!

First of all I would like to explain the title, "Summer Blues". The photo was taken during the summer of 2013 and the "blues" refers to my nephew's blue eyes. I was trying to do something different with words instead of the same old thing.

Secondly, I can't tell you have much fun I had making this layout. It is loosely based on this sketch from Pinterest.  I enjoyed mixing shapes and digging thru my stash for bright colors. A while back I invested in several punches and definitely made use of them here.

Last, I went to MissKateCuttables for the sun and "summer" title. I really don't go there often enough. Her die cuts are just so fun and easy to use. The little cloud is actually from SVGCuts.

I combined Doodlebug Designs, Echo Park, and October Afternoon
on this layout. I just had way too much fun!

Sun is from MissKateCuttables.

Although the camera blends in too much to the white background,
I still really liked having it on my layout. No real rules in scrapbooking
anyway.

I dragged my sewing machine out for this. Can't quite pull
off the "messed" up sewing machine look. Oh, well.

Father's Day

Hello there!! Father's day is just around the corner. I prefer to make my cards fit the person rather than make a card only I will like. LOL

My dad was born in California but he's an untrained cowboy at heart. He likes to wear "the outfit" but can't ride a horse! He doesn't have a super, awesome, cowboy hat but if he did, I'm sure he would wear it all the time.

This card was inspired from the DT at SVGCutting Files. This site has the file rights to the Squaredy Cats line. They make such cute cards right?! This file is actually the "Texas Squaredy Cat".

I'm also submitting this to the Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge - Masculine.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

The hat, star and flower were all made with various scraps
from MME and Farmhouse.

I just wanted to say I really liked the flower. It was a bit
like putting a puzzle together. I think I'll use this
flower on other projects too.

My Dad.

Supplies:

SVGCutting File - Squaredy Cat Texas

AC Cardstock

--Brown Sugar

--Chestnut

--White

--Black

--Pale Pink

--Green

FIN-tastic day!

Hello! Today I am sharing with you a super easy card I made for the DieCuttin'Divas challenge.

I usually make much more complicated cards but aquatics are not my "thing". BUT it's always nice to be simple every once in a while, especially when I want to use up scraps. I have been following DieCuttin'Divas for a while but have not participated. That doesn't really make any sense as I love to make die cuts!

This card's file is from the online Silhouette store. Again, super easy!!!

Thanks for stopping by today.

Supplies:
Silhouette Online Store - fish card
Scraps of paper from BoBunny and Echo Park
Banner die and stamp from My Craft Spot
Gems - Paper Studio

Always Mom

I forgot to post this card during Mother's Day. I did follow this card for inspiration from Pinterest. I really like how it turned out and love both of my Mother's Day cards for different reasons.

Most of this card was made using my Silhouette, except for the border flowers which was a punch.  Stamped an arrow, added some bling and voila!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Supplies:
Silhouette Online Store
Teresa Collins 6x6 pad - Something Wonderful
Bling - various items from stash

SOUS DIE CUT CHALLENGE: ARROWS

This week's die cut challenge with SOUS is to use arrows!! I figured it was time to make a "guy" layout using this theme.

Not much else to say on this one. I did follow this sketch from my pinterest page.

Fun and easy to make!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Supplies:
Die cut arrows
Random embellishments from stash
Paper - BoBunny scraps

SOUS DIE CUT CHALLENGE: HOME SWEET HOME

Welcome to this week's die cut challenge with SOUS - "home sweet home". 

I do love my 3-D projects!!! I was greatly inspired by Thienly Azim, DT member at SVGCuts, and her "wonderland lamp" project. 

My project was made exclusively with files from SVGCuts and a little birdie from Joann's.

I used Graphic's 45 "Botanical Tea" patterned paper.

This is not my favorite photo but I was afraid to take it outside as this is
rather fragile. I've been purchasing wide candle bases for these type of projects. 

The flower is from the topiary file at SVGCuts. The leaves are from the
3D flower choices. The topiary is from the
"Thank you for the music"file.

The teapot, saucers, cups and spoons all came from the file
"Tea for You and Me" file at SVGCuts.

Supplies:
SVGCuts:
---Tea for You and Me
---Thank you for the Music (flowers)
---3D Flowers (leaves)

Spanish Moss
Wide base candle holder
Hot Glue Gun
Brads
Ink (various colors for distressing)
Bird (Joann's)

Paper:
--Graphic 45's Botanical Tea
--AC Cardstock Ivory, White and Green
