Love to Scrap Recipe Challenge

Today is a new challenge for Love to Scrap!!!Challenge Blog
We are doing a recipe challenge is week, which includes:  3 papers/cardstock (patterned or plain), 2 flowers and 1 die cut!

So I had to think on this awhile since I also as using the Cherry on Top digi from our sponsor Bugaboo Digi Stamps.
This is what I came up with:

I ended up making a tag, which I cut from my Tim Holtz die by Sizzix and used manila paper.  Next I found some scraps in  shades of pink ad similar.  I used a punch on the bottom an added it next to the sentiment.  I put 2 flowers by the sentiment to make it stand out.  I added a doily (hanging off the edge, which I distressed.  I colored my cupcake with distressed markers and added stickles and inked the circle.  I use some yarn that had the varigated colors and this is hat it looks like.  It was fun to create once I started.

So come over to play, but remember to be specific to the recipe. 

Our sponsor for this challenge is the awesome Bugaboo Digi Stamps!


We are lucky to have such a great  prize up for grabs is 7 digital images of winner's choice!

Hope to See you there.

Just a little border

Hello Everyone,

I have a new card to show you using Kreaxions Punch #306.  I used it several ways and here it is:

As you can see I used green cardstock for the background.  Then on the top I used some of my scraps that I have had around for awhile.

I used the whole punch to do the border on the bottom that has flowers and a scallop.  Then on top  used the "A" part and got the flowers only.
Next I backed the white with light pink so you do not see the green.  I attached it to the base of the card.

Last I added twine for an accent above the flowers to make a transition statement.

I added some SRM stickers to turn it into a Thank You card and backed it in the same pink as the card has.

In person this card looks dainty and I have the perfect person to send it to.

Thank you for looking and have a nice day.

Mini Crop Challenge at Turtle Soup

Today, September 20th starts the Mini Crop at Turtle Soup  http://www.turtlesoup.scrappingturtle.com/index.php
I am in charge of one of the Challenges.  The crop has several topics and 2 are Back to School and Grandparents, so I combined both and came up with this recipe.

On a report card in High School you usually have 6 grades, I wanted all A's but would usually get 3 B's.
So with this in mind my challenge uses 3 B's on a Grandparents Layout.
B =Banner
B = Bling
B =Border

Here is my layout:

It can be your Grandparents your Kid's Grandparents, your friends with their Grandchildren or even a Great Grandma.

You have until  Sunday, September 29th at midnight EST.  Hope to see you come over and play with us, I will be anxious to see what you can come up with.

Hello There using Kreaxions Punch

Good Morning and Happy Wednesday Everyone,

I want to show you a card tat can cheer up anyone who receives it.  I used pink and green cardstock, Pebbles sentiment, and some polka dot left-over paper.

Here is the card:

I used Kreaxions Punch #906.

I used the "C" to do each of the 4 corners.  I liked how the punch let's you see the what is underneath.

This little border I created from using the left-overs.  I used  "A" and took the bottom chevron and cut the border in half and put them together.  It looks like a diamond lattice.

This is the punch I used:

A little bit Retro for Cards in Envy

The next challenge is up for Cards in Envy.  It is to do a Retro card and make sure it is an A2 flat card so you don't have to pay extra postage to send it to a friend or relative.
The challenge will run September 16 - October 6.  I hope to see you come over and play. 
I would love to see what you consider Retro is.  I chose colors and shapes of what I saw as I grew up.

Here is my card:

Not sure who makes the paper, use some twine and a Stampin'Up Stamp on some brown cardstock.

Do the colors bring back memories for you?  It does for me, especially with my reunion next weekend.
