Happy Brides! - MyG DT

The week the MyGrafico Design Team worked with THIS SET and the first thing I thought was...PAPER PIECING!  It's been a while since I attempted this.  This layout is quite different for me, too!  I'm going to try and start using more punch out borders...I have TONS laying around...so...why not?

I ended up finding the perfect color match for the light purple paper and the flower and the gems are a more rich purple.  I'm also trying to use more and more of my scrap pile, too!  I highly doubt I will EVER be done with my scrap pile!

In other news I tweaked my craft room over the weekend!  I'm a very unorganized person so doubt I will ever do a video but it works for my scattered brain and personality!

Don't forget to swing by the MyG DT Blog and check out the challenge, news, and other DT Blogs!

Paper Cupcakes - Back To School

Well, Blogger has been giving me fits for days!  My dashboard is all screwed up and I know they are going thru some interface changes but it won't let me use the old interface and I am forcing myself to get used to the new one...bare with me!

I hope everyone had a nice weekend!  I'm kicking things off with my Monday posts starting with Paper Cupcakes!  This week the theme is BACK TO SCHOOL.  Here's my take on this week's project.  Since I don't have children (other than my 3 dogs, 2 cats, and husband) I have been sort of stuck on the Back To School theme that many of the teams I am on have been doing.

I thought HOP INTO ANOTHER YEAR could be taken as another school year and/or another birthday or even New Year!  So...this one can be used all year, really.  I'm totally digging the PCC Froggie!  I will certainly be using this stamp again!  My Mother-In-Law collects Frogs!

Be sure to swing by the Paper Cupcakes Blog and play along!  Also visit the other Design Team Members!!!

1st GDT Post - Digi My World Projects

It's my first week on as a Guest Design Team Member over at Digi My World and I'm VERY EXCITED! I did 3 projects! Above is one I did with the lil Lady Bug! I went a little crazy with the flowers but it was FUN!

You can never have enough SMILE Cards, ya know!? So...I did a smile card...and next...

I think this may be my favorite of the 3 - but then again - I'm partial to the colors and I LOVE WATERMELON!!!!

3's A Charm - Paper Cupcakes

This week over at Paper Cupcakes we had to use Ribbon - but not White Ribbon - and do a Birthday Card - AND use 3 of something or do it 3 times! So...what I did was...I used 3 of the Paper Cupcakes Ticket Stamps, 3 Flower stickers, and 3 groups of 3 beads hanging off the ribbon! Also 3 different shades of pink and 3 different shades of brown!

I must have been channeling Molly Ringwald or something because this sort of reminds me of her! LOL

KK DT - Sketch Week & Back To School

OH! It's a SKETCH! A fairly HARD Sketch, for me, at least, this week...

This week over at Kelley Kid's it was Sketch Week!
Read all about it over at the Challenge Blog! My card on the sketch is above.

Don't forget to visit the Kelley Kid's SHOP! There are NEW Digi Stamps ALL THE TIME! This is one busy and talented designer folks!

Here are the challenges I'm entering this card into this week:

Discover - Love - Owl Miss You

I decided to feature some RSC Projects on my blog here - I posted them on Facebook Last Night. I had a few people ask me to post these here as well! The Discover one above I LOVE because it's a unicorn of the water! You know how I LOVE my unicorns!

The world can never have enough LOVE, ya know!? Here's one of my many LOVE Projects! It's bright and cheery! As you can see I have a new set-up for picture taking! I've very excited! I was getting a YELLOW in my other pics due to the poor lighting and atmosphere in my Living Room - it would change the colors in the projects. My hope is this set-up is much better for colors and lighting! Please let me know your thoughts!

And this card isn't cropped or watermarked...Oops!

I really liked this image! I like Owls. I know it was sort of a trend in crafting for a while and they are seeming to fade a little but I just LOVE them!

My Time With MyG!

MyGrafico is BACK with a whole new Design Team! This time around it's not just digi stamps! It will feature any/all of their products with "thinking outside of the box" projects.

For my first project back with the MyG Team - we were creating with Digi Stamps this week so I did another wall hanging! We used THIS SET available at the MyG Shop and I decided to use the car...I LOVE THIS CAR!

I'm looking forward to really trying some new things with this new team. Hope you will join us! Swing by the Challenge Blog and see what's COOKIN'!

I'm not sure what happened to Monday's post but here it is again...

This is my first project for the Paper Cupcake DT! It's the Monday Color Challenge and the colors were Pink, Brown, and White. Pink...NOT being my fave color...this was a challenge for me...but it seems I am growing fonder of PINK when it's paired with Brown. Anyhow...here is my project! I hope you like it! Please participate over at the Paper Cupcake Blog HERE.
