Blessed

Hello, everyone!  It's time for a new challenge from the Creative Moments Challenge blog.  The theme is: CAS.  I am using an image from our fabulous sponsor: Sheepski Designs.

 Here is my card:

CAS cards have always been a bit of a challenge for me.  But over the years I have gotten better at it.  I printed out the image and die cut it with a stitched rectangle die.  The longest part was definitely coloring the image, then I stamped the sentiment and sprinkled around some tiny white pearls.  Done!

You have all month to play along.  So, get inky and link up your creation; I can't wait to see what you create!

Supplies:

Stamps: Sheepski Designs "Tulip Border" digi image; Verve "Be Blessed" sentiment

Dies: My Favorite Things "Blueprints 13" stitched rectangle

Baby boy

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Anything But a Card

Here is my project for your inspiration:

I created these cute little boxes for the favors for a baby shower I am co-hosting this weekend.  As you can guess, it is for a little, baby boy.  He actually was born 6 weeks early so is already here!!  But, we had this scheduled before the birth, so here we are.  I have a die that cuts out the little box.  Then I stamped the baby items on one side and "Thank you" on the second (see the photo below).  I then stamped a onesie on blue patterned paper and again on white card stock.  Fussy cut them both out and adhered the blue onto the white.  After putting three little Dove chocolates inside, I tied them up with an organza ribbon bow.  So cute!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created.
