CLBC Challenge #2

Happy April!  It's time for another Creative Ladybirds Creations Challenge.  As always the theme is anything goes.  We have 2 fab sponsors this month.  Stitchy Bear and Oddball Art.

I used Butter Blue by Barbra Jensen Designs for my first card.  With a name like that, obviously this fairy needed to be colored blue.

Supplies:  Image-Stitchy Bear, Coloring Medium-Spectrum Noir and Prismacolor, Paper-DCWV, Embellishments-Chatterbox

I also made a bookmark using Bonnie Bookworm by Oddball Art.

 The quote seemed perfect for the image and for a bookmark.

Now I really want to go to the library. 

Can't wait to see what you come up with.  Be sure to link to Creative Ladybirds Creations.

CYP #193-ABChristmas

Happy Monday.  One more week of school until winter break, and this teacher is counting down the hours.  I don't know if your kids get better behaved in December because Santa's watching, but I do know that 8th graders get a whole lot worse when a break approaches.  I've definitely needed craft therapy.

This week's theme at Craft Your Passion is

Christmas ABC (Anything But a Card)

I played double duty this week.  First up is a wreath for my new house's door!

Rustic and simple-like me.

I've been dying to color, but I have so many finished images to put on cards, that I feel guilty pulling out my markers.  But then I thought of gift tags and so I used some super cute elves from Melonheadz to make some quirky tags.  (I made 20 of them.  They are all different-but follow the same sketch.  And yes, I ran out.  Apparently I need to tone down the gift buying.) 

Can't wait to see you practicing your ABC's at Craft Your Passion this week!

CYP #173-3D(elicious!)

Hi crafters!  It's the start of a new week, which means that it's time for a new challenge at Craft Your Passion.  This week's theme is:
Make it 3D

Time to get out your dimensional tape and bulky embellishments for some fun with this one.

People in my neighborhood have been begging for my lemonade pie with blueberry sauce.  Hmmm...should I give it out?  It's a family secret.  (Okay, not really-it's from Taste of Home).  So I made a recipe card holder with an image from Cherry Nice Mice from Doodle Pantry (this week's sponsor).

Can you spot the mistake?

Fail!  Ha ha, apparently I've been spelling it wrong my whole life.  My hubby just corrected me.  But I'm not going to redo it, it looks so much classier with the extra "I" (and I'm really tired).

I made the cute sour seeking mouse 3D with mounting tape:

And the card pulls out to reveal a deliciously tart dessert.  You can get the recipe at Taste of Home's website HERE.  Prepare to pucker up!

CWC #128-Rain

Ready to Craft With Cutters this week at My Paper Crafting?  I've been so excited to show this project to you-it's been ready for 2 weeks.  This week's theme is

Rain

I'm on week #8 on crutches.  Which has been extremely frustrating.  And it has made working with my Cricut (which is stored on the top shelf) very hard.  But I kept thinking about (and wiser-than-me people kept telling me) "Without the rain, there's no rainbows."  Rainbows have blessed my life lately, so I'm grateful for this experience (but am excited for it to end!).

Here's a rainbow for you.  I used the Create a Critter cartridge to make the cloud tag (it opens to show the quote above) and the digi stamp is called Bear-Rainy-Day from Paper Crafting World.  You can by it for a dollar (yes $1! Love their inexpensive digis!) HERE.

I just bought some blender stubs, so I sterilized their wrapper and used it to hold the Skittles.  The top tag part of the packaging is what I anchored the bear on.  Trying to decide who to give it to-it's sure to make anyone smile.
