You're Moo-velous!

Hello Everyone.

Boy,  it's been a busy week for me and that's kept me away from crafting and my blog.

As many of you know,  I am a meeting planner and this is the busiest time of the year for me. That means less time to craft unfortunately. I just need to make it through a couple more weeks then I can get back to crafting on a regular basis again. 

Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons has a new challenge today and the theme is Love. 

With this theme for inspiration I created a Valentines treat box. 

I came across this cute gable box in the Silhouette store a few weeks ago. Once the box was put together, I added this adorable Valentine's Cow from PPPR found here.

I used the print and cut feature on the Silhouette. I printed and cut the cow in three parts. First the entire image, then just the head followed by the nose/horns. I attached the smaller layers with foam tape so he has a 3D look. 

I used the Farm Candies,  Udderly Adorable stamp sets and Mini Tag Dies all from Jaded Blossom for the images on the candies and the sentiment for the box. I sealed it up with some black tulle. It measures a little over 5" tall when all finished. I love how it turned out. 

Have a crafty day!

Ski you soon!

It's my design day over at Digi My World and the design team is playing with a new set of digital images being released this week. 

This fun new set is called Winter Boys and is avialable now!  You can also get this set in digital clipart that is all colored up for you ready to print and put to use. 

I love the rich colors of the dark reds, rich teals and browns together for winter cards. I colored my little ski guy on the cameo to match my paper color, then printed and cut him out. 

I recently received a Secret Santa package from a fellow crafty blogger that was filled with these fun sequins ...the perfect touch on my card along with the sentiment which is from the BugBites Mistletoe stamp set.

You could win the entire Winter Boys set by just leaving a comment every day over at Digi My World.  One lucky comment will be selected.  The more you comment, the better your chances.

Have a crafty day!

Black and White plus 1 additional color challenge for SKdigis Challenge #2

Today is the start of another weekly challenge over at SKdigis.
This week we want you to create a card that uses black and white and one additional color. That's it! Just three total colors, no more. The DT has tons of inspiration for you this week.

For my additional color I chose red so I could use the adorable little devil. I just love this little guy and he is part of a whole series that Sonia has done for the spooky holiday. Be sure to check them out here.

Now it's your turn to create. Stop by and pick up an SKdigi or two or even try one of the awesome freebies and join the challenge. I would love to see your twist on this challenge.

Here's how I did it...

A2 card base from black card stock

Pattern paper from my stash

Little devil digi from SKdigis which was paper pieced with paper from my scrap box

Sentiment is from BugBites Magic Spells stamp set

Bat button, tiny shirt buttons, and google eyes from my stash

Everyone needs a hero.

Well it's another weekend. I'm hoping to get some scrapping done today. I have a scrapbook retreat coming up next month that I am hosting for 10 ladies so I need to get a move on and get some info out to them.

But before I get started on that, I thought I would share a quick little card using a svg file from Lisa over at Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons.  She has some adorable files and digital paper to chose from.

I like to have cards on hand that I can grab when the need arises, and I think this would be a great thank you card for the right person some day. These super hero files of Lisa's are so cute!

The red pattern paper is also from Lisa's shop. I had this blue vinyl  paper in my scrap box from another project years ago and finally found a place to use it. Makes his super hero suit look a little shiny and I like the texture it adds too.

Have a great Saturday.
