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 have a sweet challenge for you!

In honor of National Dessert Day this week we want you to create a project with any type of dessert.

When I woke up this morning my husband told me that we had to be at a birthday party by 3pm. When I asked who's party and why I didn't know about it, he said, "Oops! I forgot to tell you they called last week." So off to my craft supplies to make a card and a notebook for the birthday girl I went.

The gift set.

I used my sweet treats Cricut Cartridge for the cake and plate.

the stamps are from Hero Arts. I also used my MS punch for the notebook.

The notebook is a dollar store find that I altered using the same paper from the card.

We hope you have been inspired for this challenge. We would love to see your projects over at DCD and hear some feedback on all of our blogs.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy Birthday!

Earlier I posted a wedding card for a client of my husband. Well it happens to be her birthday as well. So, not knowing what she likes or her favorite colors I decided to make her this card.

I used paper from DCWV's The Glitter Sweet Stack, the stamps are from Hero Arts and Hampton Art, and the ribbon and rhinestones are dollar finds from Michael's. I used my Bow-Easy to make the bow.

I hope she likes it, I do!

I am submitting this card to the following challenges:

Vintage Love card!

I have never been one for the vintage look but I recently made a paper bag album with the vintage theme so I thought I would try a card too.

I am entering this card in to OWH midweek throwdown challenge... LOVE YOU!

The paper is from the Old World stack, the flowers are from a wedding kit, I used a regular heart doillie that I aged with black and sepia ink and the embellishment is a sticker that I have had forever. Oh, the pearls my sister gave me and the rhinestones are from Michael's.
