Hi Everyone!

I'm here with this weeks project for 613 Avenue Create and the optional theme is: 

SIGHTS, SOUNDS, SMELLS OR TASTES OF SUMMER.
What makes you think of summer?  The smell of rain on the hot pavement?  The sweet taste of watermelon?  The sight of a beautiful sunset?  The sounds of children laughing and playing?  Well here is my interpretation, I've used the Girl on Her Bike image from Lee's Digi Shop.

 Supplies:

dies - MFT, QuicKutz, Memory Box

sentiment - MFT

coloring - Copics

technique - paper piecing

misc - vintage seam binding

And of course I couldn't just print it and color...nooo I love to crop images!  So here is my end super cropped result  LOL!

 I went back to my chalks for this one.  I used some Glossy Accents on his nose and parts of the balloon.  Circle and scalloped circle are Spellbinders dies.  The papers are ancient from stash.  I really like this one I think he's cute and I love the color combo.  So join us at Jacksons Digital Expressions for our weekly ANYTHING GOES Challenge you can follow the color challenge or not it's your choice!

Birthday card challenges

Hi all,

Here's a birthday card I've submitted for two challenges.  First is Birthday Sundaes where the challenge is to create a birthday card using you old neglected stash.  No problem...have PLENTY of that!!  LOL!!
And the challenge at Sweet Stampin Challenge is to use your Punches & Dies.

So from my ancient stash of paper came the gingham from Scrapbook Wizard paper pack (said 2005 on the front!), purple Bazzil CS, purple brads, DJ Inkers present stamp colored with chalks and Crystal stickles, the Happy Birthday is an unmounted stamp that I've had for about 10 years and never used!  I wish I had written the co. name on it but I didn't, I ran a line of stickles down the left side of the HB, and the heart is a Fiskars punch.  I was trying to show the dimension in the second pic.

Verve's Diva Dare

This is my entry for Verve's March Diva Dare and the theme is Color Me Spring.  Verve's Diva Dare

I'm still working on that lighting...the colors are much warmer than they appear. The card is 6x6 on Bazzill Rope Swing CS, the floral and striped  CS from the Nana's Nursery collection by DCWV.   Scalloped square, oval + gable box are all SVG's  from My Scrap Chick (the 30 box set remember the enabler alert) and I tucked the sides of the box in under the handles. The birdhouse, flowers and paper ribbon are from the Spring Birdhouse collection at SVGcuts.com.  A Cut Above Dies "charming oval" and "flutterby" and stamps all by Verve.  I ran the flowers, leaves, paper ribbon, oval and square through the Cuttlebug with the dot or swirl folders then sanded the raised image.  All edges inked with brown ink.

inside of the card

inside the box are 5 Ghiradelli squares  :)

 I think I covered everything...hope you like it...any questions let me know!   Hugs...Kathi

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge

The challenge this week at Fantabulous Cricut is to make a card, decoration, etc with a birthday theme.  I used the Wild Card cart for the scalloped card cut at 4" George for the squares and Accent Essentials for the negative image of the scalloped circle. The bird is an SVG (Spring Birdhouses) from www.svgcuts.com, flower from Michael's $1 bin and stamps by Verve.  The yellow CS is Bazzil it's shimmery and the flower CS is an older one called Let's Pretend - Tea Party by Imaginisce.

This is the inside, there's a pocket for a gift card.  Sentiment stamp by Verve.  I have such problems with the lighting.  I'm in the basement so no natural light.  I think I'll set up my OTT-lite where I take pics...hmm...I'll try that.  If anyone has any suggestions let me know!  :)
