Die Cuttin' Diva's Challenge!

Wow, another great week of cards at Die Cuttin' Diva's!

This week we were challenged to make a shape card.

Here is my cre8tion:

I loaded my Pagoda cartridge onto my Gypsy and took two shadows of the Kimono and welded them together to create this card. I had to flip the back side of the kimono so that when folded the sides would line up perfectly. I used black brads for the center of the flowers and Glossy Accents to make the flowers pop.

On the inside of the card I used two stamps from my Inkadinkado set. 

Head on over to the DCD blog and enter your shape cards for this week's challenge.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Softball team gifts

 This past weekend was the end of My husband's duty as coach of our niece's 6 and under softball team. I wanted to make something for each of the girls on his team.

I bought these frames from Michael's for a dollar each and painted them their team color. I designed and cut everything out using my Gypsy and Cricut.

I also made three more for the assistant coaches and the team mom.

I hope you enjoy them.

SSC Blog Hop

Simply Scrapping Crafts is having their first monthly blog hop of 2011. The theme was Seasons and it is currently Spring here on Southern California. I decided to use the Easter baskets that I make for my family.

We have 10 nieces and nephews under the age of 9 so I made some of them a small Easter basket this year. Four of them live up in Northern California so I didn't make their baskets this year.

Each basket has their name, a rabbit that I made with my create a critter cart and cricut machine, and a side detail of flowers with my martha fence punch.

These are the bigger baskets that I made for my In-Laws and other family members.

My step-daughter saw the baskets that I was making for easter so I decided to make her one that matches her room. This way she can have it out all year long.

These baskets are so easy to make that I have made them for birthdays, Christmas, and many other holidays.
