Happy Birthday to You

Hello everyone

Time for the next Crafty Creations Challenge

The sponsor of this challenge is Beccy's Place and she has the cutest digi sets. 


Prize -  1 set - winners choice.

If you are looking for something cute, start at Beccy's Place. All of her digi's are sold in sets but I love them because they go together.

I chose a darling train pull toy and it's perfect for a little boy. 'Cause little boys all seem to love trains. The image I am using is in the Precious Baby digital set


I decided to make my card really simple. I colored my train and used an oval die to cut it out. I mounted a pretty blue holographic paper under the train.I decided to add some smoke coming of the smokestack so I hand drew and cut the puffs of smoke, I popped them up using foam.

Those tickets were a perfect spot for the sentiment.

Butterflies and Swirls

Welcome back, Everyone!!

I was sitting in my spot in my studio and was wondering what card to make for my Inspiration Tuesday post for Craft-Dee BowZ. Well, I had been reorganizing a tad and I found my template for a double fold pleated card. 

I had recently picked up two rolls of pretty handmade paper and wondered if that would be easy to score and cut on my trimmer to make the double fold pleated piece.

Well, it cut great and scored so nice.

After I put the base card together I wondered what I should add to the card (other than my bow).

I decided to add some butterflies using outline stickers and ultrafine glitter to color. I hadn't used the ultrafine glitter in a long long time so I dug the glitter and the outline stickers out. 

Let me share my finished card with you


And here is a close up of that bow.


SUPPLIES I USED ON MY PROJECT
Paper/Card Stock: White CS, Black CS, DP, Handmade paper
Accessories:Ultra Fine Glitter, Craft-Dee BowZ  tool, Outline Stickers, Hug Snug seam binding


Sometimes a card doesn't need a stamped image. 
It just needs a focal point and I chose my curtain fold to be the focal point.
The butterflies and the bow is just the icing on the cake.

I am submitting mt card in the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping in today  I hope you have been inspired to join the Craft-Dee BowZ challenge this month.The theme is always "anything goes". 
Well I hope you join in the fun.

See you soon!!

Hello My Friend

Hello everyone

Welcome to March!! 
You know the ole folklore saying "in like a lion out like a lamb"  or vise versa.
 Here is a spot that has some good info about this old folklore.

Here are some great things that March usually brings:

  • Spring begins this month
  •  the time changes this month (which I really don't care for)
  •  warmer weather
  •  green grass. 
So many things start to change in March.

March 1 is also the start of the next Craft-Dee BowZ challenge and the sponsor is 


The winner will receive
 3 digital images 

I decided to use the cutest image  (IMHO) - Nina

She looked like she is sitting with something on her lap, 
so, I made it look like she was reading a book.



Here is a closer view of my bow.


I made a triple loop bow for this card and added a silk flower on top of the knot.

If you are a bow challenged crafter, the Craft-Dee BowZ will end that dilemma. 
There are instructions that come with the tool as well as a whole host of youtube videos that will guide you along.


This small tool is easy to store or take with you to a crop or a friends house.
This tool is small but makes some mighty cool bows.
Order yours thru the Craft-Dee BowZ site here

I hope you’ve enjoyed my project. Hope you will link a project in the Craft-Dee BowZ monthly challenge. Don’t forget the theme every month is always Anything Goes with a Handmade Bow.  Also, on each Tuesday of the month, a different designer will post over on the Craft-Dee BowZ blog to inspire you! 

I am submitting my card to the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by today. I will be back Tuesday with another project for you to check out
