This week we’re sponsored by Bugaboo Stamps so again, be sure to check the blog so you can see how you can enter for a chance to win!!

Our challenge this week is~ Digi stamps and/or sentiments- any digital image and/or sentiment OR Recycle something from a greeting card to use on your new project.

I just got this cute Bugaboo digi, Christmas Brat Girl Dress and thought she’d be fun to color up today. Although I must admit, I’m just not feeling the holiday spirit quite yet. Seems like that happens most years…I don’t find my holiday spirit until the holidays are done..LOL! I am trying to keep my holiday cards as flat as possible for easy mailing so not a lot of embellishments on this one!

Mrs. Cleaver

I have to admit that every time I say the name or even think the name of this new Retro Crew image, Mrs. Cleaver, I just giggle. I remember watching re-runs of Leave it to Beaver when I was younger and this image really does remind me of Mrs. Cleaver.

When looking around my room for fun things to put with Mrs. Cleaver, I found some Maya Road What's Cooking chipboard...perfect! I colored the chipboard with my copics and then I painted my new fav DecoArt Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter paint over it. Voila!


Here's what I came up with~

The little details~ Mrs. Cleaver, Memento Tuxedo Black ink, copics, Maya Road What's Cooking Chipboard, October Afternoon Modern Homemaker, DecoArt Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint, copic multi-liner,

A little notebook

I was in the mood to make something "other than a card" so I dug out some chipboard coasters I have had forever and my new Maya Road Butterflies and some other goodies and created this little notebook.

For my butterflies, I used my Smooch Spritz.  I used Gingersnap on the bottom butterfly and Frosted Grape and Vanilla Shimmer on the top butterfly. To finish everything off I added some Viva Decor Lilac Pearl Pen to make little pearls on the butterfly, some eyelets and ribbon and voila' a little notebook!

Be sure to check out the awesome videos by design team member, Marti on different ways to use chipboard too! Here and here!


supplies:

• notebook size: 4x4
• paper: Basic Grey Kioshi,
• others: Maya Road Butterflies Chipboard set, corner rounder, Smooch Spritz, Viva Decor Pearl Pen,

Try It Out Tuesday #73

Our challenge today is to use weaving on our projects!! Be sure to check out how you can play along and all the other design team members creations--here!  

While you're there, don't forget to enter the blog candy!! Remember the new Elisabeth Bell for SCACD release is this Friday!!

I was a little stumped at this challenge but then I thought about some of the suggestions Suzanne had given us~~weave ribbon--cardstock--scrappers floss--thread--etc for a background or an embellishment.


I took the easier route and used some ribbon to weave. I used an Elisabeth Bell for SCACD image, Susan. 

For my butterflies I used the Maya Road Mini Chipboard Butterfly set and sprayed one of them with the new Maya Road Mist--very nice mist!! I used Metallic Amethyst,really pretty! Can't wait to order more! For the other two butterflies I used my Smooch Spritz in Grape Burst and Silver Foil. I must say that the Maya Road Mist works much better on the chipboard.

LOL! I got this card all completed and then realized I forgot the weaved ribbon..maybe another day! LOL! At least I have a card to share!

supplies:

• card size: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
• stamps: Susan,
• paper: Basic Grey Sugar Rush, SU cardstock,
• ink: Memento Tuxedo Black,
• others: copics, Maya Road Mini Chipboard set, Maya Road Mist, Smooch Spritz, nestabilities, cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, SU marker, American Crafts white pen,
