Die Cuttin Diva's Challenge

This week at Die Cuttin Diva's we are celebrating Music in our schools month.

When I was in grade school I was lucky to go to a school that had a pretty cool music program. We got to play all sorts of instruments that you just don't see anymore. I took piano lessons on and off throughout grade school and high school until I joined the hand bell choir and a vocal group in high school. Not to mention plays, musicals, and performances. Needless to say I loved all of the experiences I had because of music in my schools.

I used my Cuttlebug embossing folder and the Rock Princess Cricut cartridge for this card. The stamp is a dollar find from Michael's.

Join us at the Die Cuttin Diva's Blog for this week's Music challenge.

This week at Die Cuttin' Diva's we are celebrating Love Your Pet Day!!! Feb 21st.

I have two big dogs and they are my husband's pride and joy. He spoils them so much! So I had to make a card with a dog on it.

I used the Doodlecharms Cricut Cartridge. The dog is cut at 3.5".

I have had this paw print punch for awhile and was happy that I could use it on this project.

Join us at Die Cuttin' Diva's in celebrating our furry friends. Our sponsor this week is Paper Piecing by Nikki. Don't forget to tell us which die you used and link back to the DCD blog.

It's back to School for many this time of year so "Kids" are the theme for this week's Die Cutting Diva's Challenge.

A couple of weeks ago I received a package of awesome brads from Eyelet Outlet.
As soon as I saw these round glasses and the black hat I wanted to make a Harry Potter card.

I couldn't wait for this week's challenge.

I used Everyday Paper Dolls  for Harry and Create a Critter Cricut for the castle. I embossed the castle using my Cuttlebug Mosaic folder. I also used a Peachy Keen "Wide Eyed Kids" stamp for Harry. harry is also on an action wobble. The sentiment I created using microsoft word.

Happy Birthday!

This month I am celebrating a great couple. Both of their birthday's are in April and only 3 weeks apart. So I was busy making a card for each of them.

We weren't able to get together on his birthday so I made him a belated birthday card.

And next week I am going on a girl's night out to celebrate her birthday! I just had to make her card girly and with some sparkle.



Mother's Day Cards

Recently I have been preparing card kits for an upcoming card party I'm having.

The post before this were the father's day cards I put together and today I am showing you the mother's day cards.

I used a few of the sketchs from the Stars and Stamps Blog from OWH. If you haven't been to this blog please go and check it out. They have over 50 different sketches to get inspired by.

You may even be inspired to send them some cards.

I used S&S sketch #59. The designer paper is from K&Company, the stamp is My Creative Time, and the embossing folder I received with my Cuttlebug V2. The paper flowers are from my stash.

I am entering these cards in the Southern Girls Challenge and the Stars &Stamps Challenge blog.
