Birds are chirping!

The birds are chirping that Spring is here so why not make a bird cut file to welcome the season. VOILA! I think I messed up the eyes just a bit - seems a little crossed eyed to me - oh well - there is your laugh for the day too! HA, HA

Card Challenge Day 28 - SUPER SKETCHY SUNDAY

Today's challenge at 365 cards was to use the following sketch to make our card:

Card Challenge Day 27 - I'm Touched REDONE CORRECTLY

Okay I realized that I messed this challenge up so I had to make another card to redeem myself. Why I chose this one is beyond me. The stitching was a royal pain in the butt but I love how it turned out so I guess it was worth the effort. Now I hope I did this challenge correctly this time around!

Card Challenge Day 27 - I'm Touched

Today's challenge at 365 cards required you to have at least 8 elements (not counting the cardstock or background paper). All those elements must overlap with at least two other elements! Here is what I used (sure hope I did this correctly):

1. Bunny paper piecing with inked edges
2. Heart brad for bunnies nose
3. Pearls on the Easter egg (3 rows)
4. Star brads on the wheels (2)
5. Rhinestones on the star brads (2)
6. String fiber on top of cart
7. Sand for the road the bunny cart is on
8. Grasses (3 rows)
9. Butterfly with stickles

Hopefully this shows a little more detail since my camera is taking horrible pictures lately!If you missed downloading the files for this bunny in the wagon, you can find them here in one of my earlier posts.

Card Challenge Day 26 - Card Recipe

The recipe for todays challenge at 365 Cards was as follows:

Ingredients:

5 x 5 card

3 circles

2 squares

Ribbon

Sentiment of your choice

We were not allowed to stray from the recipe above - use ONLY those ingredients. I did it but I wanted to so bad to add brads or some Stickles to the flowers centers. I did contain myself though and I still like the card anyways! I have never done a 5 x 5 card before but I love it - I can see myself using that size again. I takes on a whole new look!

Card Challenge Day 25 - Do It Yourself

Todays challenge at 365 cards was a reminder to us all that you do not have to own store embellishments - you can create them yourselves.

We were to take a brad or a pearl and add some glue and then some glitter to make some glittery goodness for our cards!

I made my first step card for this challenge and added a photo of my dear niece for her Easter card! I followed Dawn's awesome tutorial for making this card found here. I used the Cinnamon colored Stickles to add the glittery bling on my brads. I used two brads for the centers of both flowers (the one in her hair and the one on the sentiment)! Just thought I would point them out since the photos are not too good!

Card Challenge Day 24 - Terrific Ten

At 365 Cards today, the challenge was to use TEN different patterned papers all on one card. What a great way to use up some scraps! I have never used that many patterns on one project before but I think this one turned out pretty nice with them. I ended up using 12 patterned papers and two plain colored cardstock along with the patterned ribbon! I think I am going to add the sentiment "Celebrate Life"! What do you think?
