The Crafty Creations challenge this week is ANYTHING BUT A CARD: VALENTINES FOR KIDS! Also, at Delightful Challenges the theme is Valentines, Anything but a card too, so I am entering their challenge as well.

Digital Delights is our sponsor!

I made two little gift boxes using my cricut to cut the templates. The papers are from the new ECHO PARK Yours Truly paper pad.

I’ve colored ‘love you Larry’ and ‘love birds’ by Digital Delights for my tags.

Pillow Box: Easter 2012 (use contour hide so it doesn’t cut the bunny out) Cut at appr. 5 x 5 1/2″

Spring Holiday Cards CRICUT cartridge cut trtbox3 at 7″ x 4 1/2″

Come join in with your projects at Crafty Creations and if you have valentine projects/cards you would like to share you can also enter my challenge HERE.

CAS Orchids

Deena — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:44:06 +0000

Hi all! I’ve made a quick CAS card today. We are having our main living areas of our home painted this week, so we had a lot of prepping to do on all the walls, and moving furniture out of the rooms etc.! Phew, it is nice to take a break. I am so excited though about getting this done, as the walls really need it! I’ve picked some warm colors too instead of the boring old white!

So here’s my clean and simple card for today using the SCS CAS challenge colors today; pink, celery and white. I colored up my A Creative Need ‘Orchids’ with copics.

Well, I guess this means I should get back to plastering some walls…lol I will let you know how it turns out! :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day! If you don’t know about my VALENTINE CARD CHALLENGE check it out HERE.

Now on to my card for today! I made a CAS card using my new ’COUNTRY HEART CHAIR’ image. These NEW IMAGES are available as of today at SQUIGGLEFLY and A CREATIVE NEED…

A chair can have so much ‘character’ and charm don’t you think? They are so appealing to me; I just had to add a chair to my image collection! We had a sweet rocking chair with a heart cut into the chairback for my boys when they were little, and that is what inspired me to draw this image.

I made a CAS design by top folding a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ white cardstock, and layering it with a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8″ scored panel (scored at every 1/2″). I coloured the chair with warm grey and putty copics and matted it with a panel of grey cardstock. I used Stampin’ Up warm words ‘welcome’ sentiment and tied a simple bow of earth tone hemp twine.

I hope you like the new images!

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day!

Admit One Love Bird

Deena — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 15:26:04 +0000

I thought I’d share a card today that was inspired by several fun challenges!

The Crafty Creations Challenge theme is Valentines/hearts so I thought it was perfect to use my new images for Valentines: ‘Love Birds’ and ‘Valentine Ticket’.

Moxie Fab world’s Trigger Tuesda y ”winter blossoms” was what sparked the whole idea hence the blossom framing around the blooming hearts and love birds.

CR84FN’s Color Challenge is yellow, soft pink and a neutral and it was love at first sight!! These colors are gorgeous together and I just had to use them!

Mojo Monday’s fabulous SKETCH brought it all together!

The VALENTINE TICKET image is a FREEBIE! You can DOWNLOAD it HERE.
