Cupcards challenges for May

I found two challenges over at Cupcards To Go that I wanted to finish this weekend and make some birthday cards I needed to do.
 The first challenge I did was to use Ruffles on your project.  My take on this was to make a flower using my ruffled lace I had.  I took pictures of the steps since it came out so good.

 These were the supplies I used to make my own sticky back to hold the ruffled lace.  I used a 2" circle punch,  some 2 sided sticky paper, the ruffled lace, and some Doodlebug Bling.

Here is the flower before I put the center in. 

 

                                                             Here it is with the Bling Center.

Here is what the total card looks like altogether.

The second challenge is a sketch     

Here is my take on it:                                                                                          

Inspiring owl sketch for Sassy Lil Sketches

Wow, this month is really flying and it is already the 28th of May.  With that said I can say that it is reveal date at Sassy Lil Sketches.  I loved the sketch this month, because it let me use a really cute owl that was found on a cricut cartridge.  I used the negative and the positive in different colors and it worked.

Here is the sketch:                                                 

So the sketch is on the right side.  I was very fortunate that I got to use one of my favorite lines in Jillibean Soup.

Hope you enjoy my take on the sketch.

Nikki Sivils Card & Layout from sketch

I found this on Nikki Sivils blog and thought I should try it so this weekend I went scrapping and came up with this layout and card using the sketch posted.

These are the flowers in the corner so you can see them. I love how they matched the paper.

I did this sketch using the pictures of when my cousin and I went to Vegas in February.  No camera's were allowed inside so we took the pictures outside.  I used the Max & Mollie line along with Bling.  This was a perfect sketch for these pictures.

On this card sketch I also used Max & Molly along with a lot of black bling.  I put some flowers and that cute little "Stinker".

Hope you enjoyed these sketches, since I really did and the paper was perfect for my projects.

It's the 14th

Good Morning and it is the 14th so the new sketch is up at Sassy Lil Sketches.


Here it is:

Next I will show you my take on Cherie's sketch.  Come on over and play and link up so we can see what you can do.

Hope to see your creations and have a great day.

New Tim Holtz Die

I was lucky and went to the Scrapbooking Convention in Del Mar today and got some fabulous things.  I came home and played with one of my new Tim Holtz edge dies. 
This was perfect for a friend who has bought a retirement home.  It was so fun to do.  I think I will make more for my friends.
Here is the card:

Now here is my sketch and I hope you enjoy my take of it:

 

LUCKY to Find Sugar Cookies

Here is a layout that I did this weekend using Nikki Sivils Sugar Cookies  line.  I love the paper and find it is hard to find but I was Lucky to find it so I could use it for this layout I could see in my mind.  I wanted to use the paper, pink pearls, lace, doille, tattered angels and my pretty picture of my new puppy Brandi.
I must tell you that I love to use Nikki's products and create.  So now here is my layout and tell me what you think.
I fussy cut the heart border and extra hearts and added pink pearl bling to the paper and flourish pearls to the corner.

The reason I call it LUCKY ADOPTION, is because I adopted her from Beagles & Buddies and she is only 9 months old.  We were the lucky family to be able to bring her home and we totally adore her and she fits in with Jager perfectly.  So this layout has the perfect title of Lucky Adoption.
