Guest Designing for Die Cuttin' Divas!

I'm guest designing this week for Die Cuttin' Divas! :) The challenge this week is anything goes.  When was the last time I used my Cricut?!  Lol, I've been on a Copic marker/Spellbinders die kick.  Here's my card:

I used the B is for Boy Cricut Lite cartridge.  Inked up some of the edges to make it look dirty.  Cardstock, paper, stamps, and ink are all SU.  Made this for an uncle who recently lost his job. :(

CAS-ual Fridays: Masculine with DSP

Can't wait to see what you guys create! :D

Last Day Guest Designing with Craft Your Passion :(

Today is my last week guest designing with CYP.  :*( Before this month I entered just about every challenge, weekly.  I was very honored when I was picked to be May's guest designer.  I guess this means I can go back to entering weekly challenges! LOL!

This week's theme is for a baby with optional stitching.  I have a craft sewing machine, but I can't figure out how to use it for the life of me (last time I sewed something was in home economics in the 7th grade!).  So I made do with faux stitching. :)

Image by Pattie's Creations.  Inked it up with Copics.  Used some Spellbinders dies and Impression Obsession stamp.  Paper, cardstock, and seam binding ribbon is by SU.  (LOVE this ribbon!  I'm planning on doing a ribbon share with this one!)

Entering this into the following challenges:

One Stitch at a Time - Red, white, and blue

DL Art - Anything Goes

Moving Along With the Times - Celebrate, but no birthday

Little Scrap Pieces - Use Red

Can't wait to see what you guys create!

Color challenge at Craft Your Passion

It's my 2nd week guest designing for Craft Your Passion!  This week we have a color challenge:

 Here's what I came up with:

I used a SU stamp set and a lot of Rich Razzleberry cardstock.  I also put on some purple grid paper and some green tie dye paper.  I did a peekaboo punch and finished it off with some skinny ribbon and rhinestones.

Dimension. :)

Can't wait to see what you guys create! :) See you tomorrow for PTT's new challenge!

May Guest Designer for Craft Your Passion Challenges - Torn/Distressed

Hey guys!  I'm guest designing for the entire month of May at Craft Your Passion Challenges!  Woohoo! I've been playing almost every week at Craft Your Passion, and I'm so honored that I get to play with the design team this month!

This week, the challenge is torn or distressed.  Here's my card:

Her name is Cirque and she is from The Paper Shelter.  I inked her up with Copics.  I ran my Tim Holtz distress tool all over the edges of the layers, then sponged on some brown ink.  Background paper is a mish mash of SU and DCWV.  Sentiment, punches, ink, and ribbon are all SU.

Isn't she soooo stinkin adorable?!  LOVE her! And she was tons of fun to color.

Entering this card into the following challenges:

AUD Sentiments - Anything

4 Crafty Chicks - Favorite Embellie (SU rhinestones!)

The Stamp Man - Favorite Technique (distressing)

Poodle Parlour - Anything Goes

Stamp, Scrap, and Doodle Saturdays - Ribbon and bows

Well, that's about it.  How'd I do for my first guest designer gig? :) Can't wait to show you more this month!

'Till next time!
