CYCI#132-A Totally Pawesome Sketch

Hey there crafty people!! It's time for yet another Can You Case It Challenge!!

This week's challenge is an awesome sketch challenge, and I gotta say...it scared me a bit at first. It was simple, and clean, and let's face it....I make stuff that is embellished and bright and layered....so, I figured out a way!

For this week's challenge, I decided to use the A Purr-Fect Day paired with some CUTE new Doodlebug Designs paper called Kitten Smitten. I even used some of the sprinkles. I also used several dies to create my card.

Crazy 4 Challenges- You Really Got This

It's my month to host the challenges at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog, and since today was opening ceremonies for the Summer Olympics, I decided to go with an Olympics theme! Basically, you can either use something sports related, or use the colors related to the Olympics. Me, I did both...and even pulled the rings in a bit!!

I decided to pair the super cute The Cat's Pajamas set You Got This with some fun paper from Carta Bella. My cardstock is from both MFT and SU. I paired it with all sorts of buttons, brads, twine, and red ruffled ribbon. My circles were cut with the Framed Up 2 CutUps.

Here are the TCP products I have used:

Well, that is it for me for now!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog!! I hope to see you at the Crazy 4 Challenges blog playing along with our challenge! Have a great day!

August Paper Nest Dolls Challenge!

It's time for this month's Paper Nest Dolls Inspiration Challenge.

We just had a special Christmas in July release, so I decided to use one of the gorgeous new dolls released, Avery with Snowman.

I paired Avery with some of my favorite Christmas paper from Carta Bella, and some fun embellishments as well.

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

CYCI#131-Color Challenge Bunny Style

Hey there all my favorite people in blog land, and welcome back to my humble little blog for another 

Can You Case It 

challenge!!

This week's challenge is a color challenge, and we are looking forward to seeing you play along!

For my card today, I used one of my favorite paper pads when it comes to this color scheme....and yes, I have a paper pad that makes me think of this exact color combo. Don't judge me.

I paired it with my super cute Away We Go set from The Cat's Pajamas. Now that I look for it on the website, I think it may be retired(not retired, just out of stock currently!!), but hey, they have the Drop In set, which is pretty darn close!!

Well, that is it for me for now! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my work!! The rest of the CYCI team has ROCKED this challenge, so be sure that you go to the CYCI blog and check us out!!
