Cute as a Button

Before we get to today's post I wanted to remind you about

My Giveaway

It is time for another new weekly challenge at

Loves Rubber Stamps

Our theme this week is

Cute As a Button

With a fabulous sponsor

So for my card I decided to follow the My Favorite Things Sketch

I used the image Enchanted Love from The Paper Shelter. I colored her with copics and cut her out using a spellbinder die edged with distress ink!

Authentique papers Lovely and Twine

Also today another challenge from

ABC Challenge

Our theme this challenge is

F for Favorite Tilda

Sponsor this challenge is

Michelle's Scrapbooking and Tilda's Town

So who out there can really pick a favorite Magnolia image. I know I couldn't. It took me forever as I have at least 100 magnolia images!!!! So I settled for this cutie.

She came out last Winter (January/February). I used the papers from the newest Fancy Pants release.

I also added some cheesecloth and some twine to add a little more to the card.

First Angela Holt Designs Challenge

Hey Everyone... I know a bunch of you are out there going crazy over CHA and sneak peeks. I know I am plotting how to spend some money on some wonderful new products!!!

So here I am writing a post to take a break from my crafting plotting.

Angela Holt Designs and her Creative Design Team have announced the first challenge. Virginia is the hostess and she shows us how to make our own Modeling Paste. Make sure you stop by the challenge to learn how to make this faux molding paste and play along for your chance at a fabulous surprise.

For this challenge I used Graphic 45's papers "A Ladies Diary" to alter a box. Now if you visited my blog at the beginning of the month you would have saw the tag I made from this wonderful collection. I did a lot of fussy cutting and added a bunch of embellishments to puff up the box.

Hope you get a chance to play with us!

First set of ATC's

Hey everyone. Is everyone ready for the weekend? I know I am. This week could not go by quick enough. I have been busy coloring and gathering my thoughts and wishing I could do a million things at once. Have you ever had those days where you have a million projects you want to do like NOW but just can't because you have to go in a certain order. Well that is me. I have put mini's on a hold to branch out and I am missing my mini's (hints the excitement for the weekend).

During one of my late nights up with my baby I though lets start a calendar and stick to some things. So far I am doing great and sticking to it.

Today my post is for

Gina's Design's

So today I am here to share with you my first set of ATC's yes my first. I am so so so so excited with how these turned out. It is not everyday I think about these things but I thin I pulled it off. Now if I can keep it up because I had so much fun making them.

I used some gears which can be found in the Gears or the Steampunk Shape Set. I did use one real metal gear after painting the other three.

I used a bottle from the set Guy Things which can also be found in Old Bottles Miniature Shape Set.

I used the hot air balloon from he set Guy Things. The stamp is from Unity Stamps.

Stop by the store for some yummy chipboard goodies.
