Paper Playtime #36 - Anything Goes

Hi everyone!  I hope you guys all had a great weekend.  We had some amazing weather here ...yesterday it was about 75 and so sunny. We had a great day outside.  This week's challenge at Paper Playtime is Anything Goes!  It is also the first time for a new feature at Paper Playtime....the last Monday of each month will be Digi Mondays!  All the Queens were given some adorable digital images to work with this week and our Sponsors will be offering some great prizes.

I used this adorable little birdie form Doodle Pantry.  This image was pre-colored which makes it so easy to put together a cute card really quickly.

My card is 5-1/4" square and I shaped the corners with my corner rounder. This pretty polka dot background paper is from SEI.  I found several pretty SEI paper pads at Big Lot for $5 last week.  The label is from Lacy Labels.  I printed my image on white cardstock and then centered my bird on the center of my Cricut Mat.  Then using my Gypsy, I lined up my label on the center point of the mat to cut around the bird.    For the sentiment, I printed it out and then punched it out with 1" circle punch.  The orange circle is from George and Basic Shapes.  Head on over to Paper Playtime, to see all the beautiful projects that the Queens have for you. You'll definitely want to play along this week for a chance to win some of these great images.

Paper Playtime #35 & Scrappy Moms Love Notes Sneak Peek #3

Good morning!  This week our challenge at Paper Playtime is to make a project that is party related.  I decided to get a head start on some Valentine's Day treat bags for my twins class party. 

I cut the base for my treat bag topper from Just Because cards.  I used the "relative true size" button on my Gypsy (the button with the a) to make my card base 4"h x 5.5"w.   I cut the little lady bug from Walk in my Garden at 1.75.  I changed her spots to hearts...I think it makes her so pretty!  This cut is great for projects with large quanities because it goes together really fast. To get her colors to work out you have to cut an extra layer in red, hiding all the spots on that cut.   I used the newly released Scrappy Moms Set - Love Notes for the sentiment.  This adorable new stamp set is availabe for pre-order now so be sure to head on over to get your set now.

Paper Playtime #27 - Christmas Carol Inspired

Good Morning everyone!  I hope you guys all had an awesome Thanksgiving holiday!  We had a really nice weekend and finally got a little cooler weather...for a few day anyway!

This week's challenge at Paper Playtime is to make a Christmas Carol inspired project.  I decided to make a shaped card using this adorable Santa face from Doodlecharms...he is inspired by the carol "Santa Claus is Coming to Town".

I used the D'vine Swirls embossing folder on his beard and mustache and MS Glitter on  his hat. 
The Paper Queens have some amazing projects this week so head on over to Paper Playtime to play along with this fun challenge.

Paper Playtime #22

This week our challenge over at Paper Playtime is to make a Halloween project.   The design team members were give some adorable digis to work with from The Stamping Boutique.  I really love this little vampire.

I know, I need to improve my coloring skills but I still think this turned out super cute.  I colored him using my Martha Stewart colored pencils and then cut the ovals using my Nestabilities.  The green/black backround paper is from a Martha Stewart Halloween paper pack.  The sentiment stamp is from Michaels and it actually reads "Frankly, I love Halloween" and it has a Frankenstein image but I masked part of it off.  Click HERE to head on over to Paper Playtime to play along with us!
