Dies R Us ~ Anything Goes

Hello ~ It's time for an "Anything Goes" challenge over at the Dies R Us Challenge blog.  

.

I've used some delightful dies from Sue Wilson for my project today, both from the Necessitities Collection.  The birdhouse is from Home Tweet Home.

The tree branch and sentiment is from the Neccessities Collection, A Little Birdie Told Me.

I also used Elizabeth Craft Designs Scallop Dotted Rectangles and a cloud embossing folder.

You can find all the details of the challenge and join in on the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.

12 Kits of Occasion ~ September

Hello ~ Can you believe the end of September is here already??  I love fall, but I'm not excited about all the cold and snow that comes after it and this season is flying by way to quickly.

This month we're keeping summer alive with a little help from Kim Heggins.  Her kit theme is "Under And Over the Sea" and all the images were new to me.  

So much fun coloring this little sunbathing beauty from MFT!  I wish I could be soaking up the sun today too!! (I'm also adding this card to the Simon Says Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge)

These little critters from Otterly Awesome are so stinkin' cute!  I was inspired by a card made by my dear friend Kara but she had a frog floating down the river.

   I created a slider card for them so they could float lazily down the river together.  

I'm adding this card to the Word Art Wednesday Anything Goes Challenge.

It wouldn't be right to have a kit called "Under And Over the Sea" without a beautiful mermaid, right?  

This one has a heavy dose of Wink of Stella on her tail fins.  A heavy dose because my WOS pen leaked all over her!  Thankfully it stayed within the lines and I was able to spread it out fairly evenly.  

Be sure to visit the 12 Kits of Occasion Blog to see how my talented teamies were inspired to use Kim's darling kit.  She's also having a guest designer this month.  Joyce Merberg is a past 12 kits designer and is incredibly gifted when it comes to creating beautiful CAS cards so you must be sure to visit her blog as well.  You can find links to all the designers here.  Thanks Kim for a darling kit!!

Packaging with Printed Papers ~ PTI Make-It Monday

Good morning crafty friends ~ It's been a while since I've been able to play along with PTI's Make-It Monday challenge and I'm glad for the opportunity to spend some much needed time in my craft room doing what I love.

Melissa was up this week with an idea to make treat packaging using printed papers.  Please forgive the horrible photography skills here.  I've been struggling to get good pictures with poor lighting and the fact that I only have my Ipad for taking pictures.  For some reason when my pictures transfer to my computer, they look all washed out and faded so then I have to try to adjust the colors to make them look as close to the real thing as possible.  Anyhow... back to the project.... ooh, butterfly!!!  

I used one of the dies from the Post & Parcel kit to make my little treat bag using printed paper from Vintage Linens.

I used the Seasonal Borders: Winter to prettify my package.  

You can find all the details of the challenge and join in on the fun here.
