DCWV August Sketch Challenge

This is the first time I have participated in a DCWV challenge.  I hope you like my layout.  I have been working on this album about my puppies for years.  I am not very good with designing pages and loved this sketch.I used the Pet stack and the Shimmer stack from DCWV.

This is their inspiration:

Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenge

This is the first time I have participated in one of the challenges from Bitten by the Bug 2.  The challenge is to design something with a fall theme and use a stamp and a Cricut cut.  I cut the leaf tag from the Flower Shoppe cartridge.  I cut two, one out of brown and one out of orange.  I then glued the tops together and scored it so the orange layer would fold up to make a tag.  I stamped both layers with a assorted leaf stamp with versamark ink in dazzle to give it some sparkle. I then added a sentiment stamp.  I love the way that it turned out I hope you do too.

Here is the front of the tag:


Here is the middle where you can add some journaling if you put it in an album:

Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #117 (MMSC117)

Here is my submission for this weeks Midnight Madness Challenge.  I used some pearly purple paper I purchased at Michaels as a backdrop for the beautiful frame image from the Fancy Frames Cricut cartridge.  In the middle I added a black cat cut from the Happy Hauntings cartridge.  I made the pink flowers using the Flower Shoppe cartridge and the white flowers were made using the Sentimentals cartridge.  The image I used for the leaves was actually a flower part from Flower Shoppe that I cut with green glitter card stock for some and white card stock for the others that I then painted with Smooch pearlized paint in green.  Now all I need is a nice frame to put it in so, I can hang it for Halloween!  I hope you like it.



Here is the inspiration sketch:


M.A.G. Challenge #40

The challenge this week was to use page 45 from the Storybook Cricut Cartridge.  I made this tag using a nice frame cut from this page.  I cut the card stock to make the tag using my paper trimmer and a decorative corner rounder. I added a journaling spot to the tag so I could use it in a scrapbook album that I plan to make in the future. I also added a cameo that I had in my stash.  I hope you like it!
