M.A.G. Challenge by the Page #12

Hi everyone,

I just want to welcome all of my new followers and say thanks so much for following my blog!!! If you are looking for my "GIVEAWAYS" you may enter here!

Onto the M.A.G. Challenge by the Page, our challenge this week is from 3 Birds on Parade page 70.
Keep in mind, you can only use these images!!! I thought a cute baby card would be just perfect. I wanted it to look as if there were more than one baby being delivered. The birds/babies were cut at 3.25 and the others at 1.0. I made an S or Z fold card, I wanted the birds to appear to be flying, needed some clouds, so I chose the Flower Shower Spring Stack from DCWV. All the other papers are from recollections!! I embossed the bird for texture, added some ribbon and buttons, another challenge complete!

I hope this inspires you to get those creative juices flowing, please invite someone else to join in on the fun, make sure you link your project to M.A.G by 11:59 pm on 2/2/11!!

Design Team Thursday!

Hi everyone,

I just want to welcome all of my new followers and say thanks so much for following my blog!!
I am currently having some "Giveaways" for all of my followers, if you would like to enter it you may do so here!

I am calling today's post "Key to my Heart"

When I seen this heart on Indie Arts, I just knew it would be the perfect for a Valentines Day Card. The heart is cut at 2.5, I used the " I Love you" from Joy's All Around Sentiment Stamps to add just the right touch. My patterned paper is from GCD Studios and the ivory paper is from recollections. I added a couple of clips at each end of the heart, one to serving the purpose of closing the heart, which covers the hidden key!

Make sure you visit Joy's Life, she has some fabulous things going on there!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!

Just want to take the time to welcome all of my new followers and say, thanks so much for following my blog. Within the next few days I will be doing a couple of "Giveaways" for my 100 and 200th followers, so please check back!


On to the challenge for this week, Tags Bags Boxes and More page 130. OMG, I really really had a hard time on this challenge, when I seen what we had to use, I thought what am I gonna do with this? We can only use the images from this page, oh boy. At the end of the day, 8 nut cups later...lol, this is what I came up with. I thought the cups would be perfect for little storage containers, each one is cut at 4.0, I wanted to color coordinate my containers as well as the embellishments, added ribbon and buttons to complete my project.

Now it's your time to get your creative juices flowing, link your project to M.A.G. Challenge before Wednesday the 26th, by 11:59 pm, please invite others to join in on the fun!!!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #58

Hi everyone,

Just want to take the time to welcome all of my new followers and say thanks so much for following my blog, I really appreciate it! Within the next week I will be posting for two giveaways, one for my 100 followers and the other for 200 followers. Make sure you stop back by!!

Our challenge this week was to make a Snowman, any cart, any colors. This A2 size card is made from A Child's year cart, what I like about this cart is that there isn't much to do, you have your base and shadow feature and that's it!! I went into my scrap bin and chose all of my papers. I do know that the brown card stock is Bazzil paper. everything else is up in the air. The snowman is cut at3.25 along with the shadow, the mat is cut at 4x 5.25 and it is embossed with Swiss Dots. I added some ribbon, button, hemp and the sentiment "Boys will be boys " is from the Father & Son Stamp by Joy's Life, another challenge complete.

Don't forget to invite friends to join in on the fun and link your project to Cricut Cardz Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!

M.A.G. Challenge by the Page #10

Hi everyone,

We have a guest designer this week, Nicole from Creative Delights by Nicole, has put together a wonderful project using vinyl, you really must check out her blog!!

Our challenge this week is from the Storybook cart page 69. I chose the oval scallop, one is cut at 7.35 and the other is cut at 6.17 (Gypsy). I had to result to my sticker stash, because we can only use the images on this page, found 2 birds and a heart, thought it would be perfect since Valentines Day will be soon approaching, added some ribbon, embossed with Swiss Dots and some doodling, another challenge complete.

I hope you enjoy my take on our challenge, it's now time for you to get those creative juices flowing and invite a friend to join in on the fun, link your project to M.A.G. Challenge by the Page by Wednesday 19 11:59 pm.

I just want to give a warm welcome to all of my new followers and say thanks so much for following my blog, I really appreciate it, more than you know!

Now on to the M.A.G Challenge, have we got a fun challenge this week. We are using the Pagoda cart page 36,
remember to use only the images on this page, we also added a twist this week, you have to have an accordion fold project. You may pick up the tutorial at M.A.G. For my project I used the Kanji Word Function to create the base card, and I put black glitter paper behind" FRIEND" the Panda's are cut at 3.5, 3.00 and 2.5, I also wanted to make them to look as if they were in their on habitat, so I took some branches off of my evergreen trees, the sentiment is from Joy's Life "Lots of Pun Stamps" I think it turned out OK!!
