CASology Week #88

*ETA* A wonderful commenter from CASology told me I could also link this card up with Addicted to CAS. I’ve never linked up with this challenge before, so I’m excited!!! The DT is awesome and there are some really cool entries!

Yay for getting to participate in the CASology Challenge this week! My PTI order arrived in the nick of time 😉 Here is the challenge this week,

I ordered the Wonderful Words dies and one of the words is…

LOL. 🙂 I wanted to layer a bunch of the lucky die cuts in a pile, but then I realized you couldn’t tell what it said, so I settled on two with a green theme 🙂 I was kind of going for a sort of shadow effect, but I didn’t want it to look too “organized.” LOL, I still wanted a little bit of an off beat-ness to it…is that a word? Or phrase? O well, 🙂 I also used stamps from two different sets to complete the sentiment. I love it when stamps play well together. 🙂

Hope you like it!

Papertrey Ink: Make It Monday #128

Now it’s time for Papertrey Ink’s Make It Monday! (And also the CAS-ual Fridays Button Challenge. Woop Woop!)

I get so excited when Papertrey Ink has a new release! I saw the first sneak peeks when I was looking for the Make It Monday Video. August is always my favorite because of Halloween! I can’t wait! I haven’t been able to order for awhile so my wish list is about 10 miles long now, LOL!

Anyway, back to my card, haha 🙂 This week the technique is to stamp a random background.

I don’t know why, but I immediately thought of The Sweet Life stamp set and wanted a bird to go with it. I pulled out the little bird from Trendy Tree Tops, but it just wasn’t right. Then I remembered there was a bird in the Grunge Me set so I whipped it out and low and behold, the poor forgotten Hummingbird! (I use the other images like the paint splatters and the dots and stripes A LOT more often and sort of forget about that cute little birdy.) And to go with my bright feeling background I used my favorite sentiment in the We Go Together stamp set. 🙂

Hope you like it!

Hello there Muse, it’s been awhile. I am glad to be back. 🙂

I’m back with an entry for this weeks Camp Challenge over at CASology!

Here we go,

I knew I wanted to use my Cricut Campin’ Critters cartridge because I have never used it! This little guy was so cute I just couldn’t resist. 🙂 I used my Watercolor Wonders stamp set for the “trail.”

Muse #19

Hello MUSE, I’m back! 🙂

This week we have a gorgeous card to CASE by Michelle Williams. 🙂

Like I said, Gorgeous! I’ve bee a fan of her’s for a while. 🙂

Here is my take,

I was inspired by the framing of the sentiment and by the flowers. 🙂 At first I just had the frame with the flowers, but I felt it needed something else so I added the lace with a bit of DP 🙂

Hope you like it! 🙂

Make It Monday #116

This week’s Make It Monday with Papertrey Ink is super cute! I would have NEVER thought to use a comb of all things to give my stamps more texture and a completely different look. It’s absolutely genius! 🙂 Here is my card,

I used some masking to box in the sentiment. 🙂

Hope you like it! 🙂

Muse #12 & Make It Monday #111

So this week I watched the PTI Make It Monday tutorial video before I saw the Muse card, so when I did see the Muse challenge a light bulb clicked on. 🙂 I thought “hey I can use the PTI Make It Monday technique on my flowers for my Muse card!” Oh happy day. 🙂 Love it when that happens. So here is the Muse’s card,

Gorgeous right? 🙂 And here is my card in which I also use the Make It Monday technique,

I was inspired by some of the colors and the layout of the Muse’s card, and I water colored over some white embossing per the Make It Monday technique for my flowers and leaves. 🙂

Hope you like it!

CAS-ual Fridays Experiment :)

*** EDITED TO ADD: I didn’t realize until after I posted this card and refreshed the CAS-ual Fridays blog that I WON last week with this card!!!!!!!!!!! Woah, totally giddy over here!!!!!!! Thanks a bunch CAS-ual Fridays, you guys rock! 🙂 ***

So for the CAS-ual Friday’s Challenge to use chip board on your card I decided to experiment a bit outside my box. Here is my card,

I used my Bella Blvd chip board tree as a starting off point, but still wanted you add a bit of abstraction so I used my Watercolor Wonder set to make the background.

Hope you like, it’s a bit out of my box, adding abstraction to a created scene, but I think it may be growing on me a bit…

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #106

Wow, that’s two weeks in a row I have been able to participate in Papertrey Ink’s Make It Monday! Woo Hoo! There is definitely something to be said for getting organized, even if it is just a little at a time. 😉 This week the technique is two toned stamping, so here is my experiment with it…

I realized after I started editing the photo that my ribbon is a little wonky. Oops. My son is making it a bit difficult to re-take the picture…in a good way of course, LOL. 🙂

Hope you like it!
