Die Cuttin' Divas Anything Goes Challenge

Have all of you gone to see Beauty and the Beast?

Took my grandkids last week, we all loved it!!!!!

It's Tuesday and time for a new challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas .

The challenge this week is "Anything Goes"

.

I just love Audrey Hepburn, so when I saw this cut file by Daniela Moscone at the Silhouette store, I just knew I had to create something with it.

I found this quote by Audrey Hepburn:

"The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years"

It inspired me to create a birthday card.

You can purchase the card here

I also added the birthday speech bubbles which are a "print and cut" file which you can purchase here.

I typed and added the quote from my Print Shop program.

Supplies used: Card stock - white, black, yellow, kraft, metallic silver; rhinestones by Kaiser Kraft; cut files from Silhouette Studio.

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Hope to see you playing along with us!!!!

Tiny Shamrocks

Are you a wee bit Irish?

I am, and I like to go green in a big way on St. Patricks Day. The family comes over for dinner and we have all kinds of green things to eat and drink. So fun!!!

I wanted to share a simple little CAS card I made for the sketch challenge over at Case This Sketch.

Die Cuttin' Divas Sketch Challenge

We got more snow yesterday :(
I think I am MORE than ready for spring.
Snow, snow go away, come again some other YEAR!

Daylight Savings time is near, must be a sign that spring is on the way, right?!


It is Tuesday again and time for a new challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas.

This week our challenge is a sketch.

.

I just rec'd my Simon Says Stamp card kit in the mail. It had the cutest bunny in the included stamp set, so I opted for an Easter Card so I could ink him up.

The kit also came with a darling egg stencil that I used for his background.

I die cut an oval in some patterned paper by Doodlebug to leave an opening for the egg stencil to peek through.

The sentiment is from the stamp set also!

Supplies used: Card stock - white, black, blue; pattern paper by Doodlebug; twine by Lawn Fawn; Copic markers; stencil - SSS; Versamark; white embossing powder; sequins.

Now pop on over to Die Cuttin' Divas and see all the fabulous inspiration the rest of the design team has come up with.

Hope to see you playing along with us!!!!
