Robin's Creative Cottage Challenge Day!

Here it is again! A challenge for Robin's Creative Cottage! Have you guys gotten these stamps yet? They are FABULOUS!! And PERFECT for those holiday cards/projects that we are all so busy creating right now!!! THUS, why I have been absent from the blogging world!!! AUGH! I am so busy trying to finish up those last minute gifts, projects, and cards! YIKES! What about you? Are you finding yourself stressed like myself!?!?!?! :)

Anyway, Robin's Challenge this week is to create a project that has to do with gift packaging...tags, boxes, toppers, etc! I decided to create a gift bag....here it is!


Recipe:
Cricut Cartridges: Tags, Bags, Boxes and More, Just Because Cards, Preserves
Cardstock: DCWV, Bazzill, Stampin' Up!
Sentiment: Robin's Creative Cottage Gingerbread Holiday Clear Polymer Stamps
Ribbon from my stash
Ink: VersaMagic Dew Drop Chalk Ink in Gingerbread

Now, that Popcorn box from Tags, Bags, Boxes, and More was Sooooo easy to put together! I can see myself using that more often! Loved it!! It was the PERFECT quick craft for a stressful holiday season! :)

I invite you all over to Robin's Creative Cottage to link up your wonderful creation!
Thanks for stopping by!!

FCCB--Challenge Me Monday #70--MELON TIME!!

It's my first week with the new Team B design team members over at FCCB....I can't wait to see what everyone has created! It is another Challenge Me Monday and this week's theme is MELON TIME!!! And we were asked to create a project with a fruit or melon in it. I decided on the token "thanks a melon" card....and decided to use Just Because Cards to carry out my design. Here it is!



Recipe:
Cricut Cartridge: Just Because Cards
Cardstock: Bazzill and K&Company
Time Holtz Distress Ink in Walnut Stain
Martha Stewart Glitter Glue
Sakura black Gelly Roll pen
Pop Dots
ribbon from my stash

I added the glitter glue because I totally screwed up in the decorating/doodling that I was doing in the 'thanks a melon' sentiment!! Oops! I would've liked it better without the glitter, but oh well. It still came out ok!

Thanks for looking today! I would love for you to head over to FCCB and see what the new and old DT members came up with this week, and then link up your own project!! Remember, it's MELON TIME!!!! :)

It's time to Celebrate the Occasion! Graduation Challenge

It's a Graduation Challenge this week at Celebrate the Occasion! I really have to apologize to my regular followers, because in my opinion, this is probably the worst card I have ever put together. And it really, really does NOT meet my standards!! It's too plain, but I didn't have the time or the crafting mojo to fix it the way I wanted to!! I do like the idea of the card, and I think it would be great for something like a Kindergarten graduation. I did keep my gypsy file that had everything out on the mat, so maybe someday, I will cut it again and fix it into somethin' special!! You never know! I do hope that I get my mojo back soon, because my type A personality can't stand posting something that I don't really like!! Lol!
