Pop Dots and Polka Dots!

Hi!

Here is my creation for the Twisted Tuesdays Challenge posted today.

You have 2 weeks to play along. I hope to see you there!

We want to see something popped up on your creation and let's see a few polka dots too!

I popped up my Merry Christmas cut out. This is from the Simple Stories line "December Documented".

I had this paper from Simple Stories sitting on my desk for scrap pages I am doing and decided to use a piece to make my card. So, this qualifies for the
Shopping Our Stash Challenge #127 ~ Use Something Already on Your Desk

Thanks for stopping by my blog!

Until next time...

Twisted Dueling Darlings Post!

Hi all!

I have 2 things to share with you today.

My Dueling Darling post

and my

Twisted Tuesday post

The thing is.....I have 1 project for both! :) LOL

This month Sweet P (Paola) is our hostess for the Dueling Darling Dazzlers.

She sent us the cutest little Halloween kit. Even though I don't send Halloween cards and we don't celebrate the "scary" side of Halloween.....I do love the kit and made some little treat bags with it!

Yep, that's my project share for this Dueling Darling challenge. Judy (hostess of the Divas) and Sweet P asked us to share something we do/make for Halloween. I usually end up making a few treat bags for school events. :)

 

This is also what I made for today's Twisted Tuesday challenge.

We were to make a celebration themed project with a natural element (hemp twine).

The Design team at TT outdid themselves this time! Be sure to check it out!

Pink as All Outdoors!

Hello!

My daughter's birthday is Friday (23rd) and over at Twisted Tuesdays we have included a couple of her favorite things in the challenge this round to celebrate!

The challenge is to use the color pink (Her favorite color). The twist is we want to see some outdoor things on your creation....because Bethany LOVES playing outside. :)

Here's what I made:

This is her birthday card.

I used the cupcake monkey image from C.C. Designs.

The flower and butterfly (my outdoor things) are from Prima.

The sentiment is from a Hampton Art set.

I colored the image with Spectrum markers.

Thanks so much!
