Cut It Up Picnic Challenge

We had been enjoying some lovely weather last week, but the last couple of days it seems like winter has returned! 

We are back to cold, rain, and snow :( 

It sure has been a strange year for weather around here.

Regardless of the weather we have a new challenge for you over at Cut It Up.

Our challenge is Picnic, create a picnic themed project and don't forget the die cut!

The sponsor for this weeks challenge is A Day For Daisies and you have a chance to win $8 to their store.

I created a silverware and napkin pocket using a cut file from Silhouette Studio and decorated it with an image from A Day For Daisies called Home Lunch which you can purchase here.

I thought it would be a cute addition to a picnic lunch!

Supplies Used: cardstock - white; patterned paper by Stampin' Up; cut files from Silhouette Studio; digital image from A Day For Daisies; Copic markers .

Cut It Up World Hello Day Challenge

World Hello Day is a holiday that is celebrated by over 180 countries all over the world and has the purpose of not only making people aware of the need for better communication to sow the seeds of peace but to bridge the cultural barriers between the people of all nationalities.

The only real custom associated with World Hello Day is the practice of saying ‘hello’ to friends, families and strangers. People who want to celebrate this holiday should take the time to say hello to at least 10 people they encounter throughout the day – particularly strangers.

Our challenge this week is World Hello Day. Create a project to say Hello and don't forget the die cut!

The sponsor for this weeks challenge is A Day For Daisies and you have a chance to win a $20 certificate to their store.

Our sponsor was generous and allowed the team members to pick an image to use on their project.

I chose a darling image called Breeze In Spring

.

I used a stitched rectangle die cut to cut the background for my image.

I did a combination of coloring my image and printing it on patterned papers to fussy cut the clothing.

Supplies Used: card stock - white, teal; pattern papers by Recollections; image from A Day For Daisies; Hello stamp from my stash; Copic markers; Sequins

Cut It Up Digitally Yours Challenge

This weekend the time changes for a lot of us!

We get to enjoy that precious daylight into the evening. I love that, because then my husband and I still have time to get in a walk when he gets home from work. Makes the dog happy too.

Also, to me, it is one of the biggest signs that spring is on the way.

Well, on to business. Time for a new challenge.

Our new challenge over at Cut It Up is Digitally Yours!
Create a project with a digital stamp on it. Don't forget a die cut!

Our sponsor for this weeks challenge is A Day For Daisies, you have a chance to win $12 gift card (equal to 3 images of choice) to their store.

I created a card using an image from their store which you can purchase here,  called Happy Hot Air Balloon.

I printed the image out twice, once on paper I could color with Copic markers, and once on the plaid patterned paper (so I could use that for the balloon).

The actual card is a cut file from Cricut Design Space.

I attached many of the pieces with Pop Dots to give it dimension.

Supplies Used: card stock - white, yellow, blue; patterned papers from Echo Park, and Doodlebug; cut file by Cricut Design Space; digital image from A Day For Daisies; Pop Dots.
