Challenge Me Monday #110

Hello Everyone,

It is time again for Challenge Me Monday Over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.

 

 #110 for May 7th  - Mother's Day

Make a project for your Mother, Grandmother or another special lady in your life using her favorite color. (ex. Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, etc.)

Here is my project:

 My card is 5 1/2 square. I used the Teresa Collins Timeless paper collection.  When I bought this I didn't know what I was going to use it for but had to buy it.  Well, this was the perfect challenge for this because my mom and I love pink and when I was growing up we both liked pink and gray. I remember buying some gray pants and wearing pink shirts with them. That is why I chose this paper collection for the card. Now for the details: used my gypsy because I had to hide some cuts. I used Elegant edges for the frame in pink cut at 4". Forever young for the girl head cut at 3.25. The gray scallop was cut from Gypsy Wanderings  3.60w and 2.75h.  The silver paper is from Michael's and the ribbon from Hobby Lobby.  I used two new flower dies from My Creative Time and also used her stitched circle die and her Happy Mother's Day stamp from All around everything. I finished the card off by using my i-rock.

Challenge Me Monday #103

Hello Everyone,

 This week at FCCB the challenge is

#103 Spring is in the Air

Make a project with at least 3 flowers

Here is my project:

I made this mini book to use for the pictures of the beautiful flowers that will be out soon. We are having the warmest spring at I ever remember. I have a couple more pictures and details on how I created this.

I created the base of the book in my gypsy.  I used Elegant Edges and George and Basic Shapes. I used a rectangle in the George cart to weld to the book image on the Elegant edges cart, which I cut at 4.5. Walk in my garden cart contains the first two flowers and the flower pot and vases. The third flower is from plantin schoolbook. I added buttons, twine, distressing and gems. I will be able to insert pictures into this book. I used a photo punch so the photos just slide in. I will probably embellish a little more once the photos are added.

Please join us at FCCB for this exciting challenge. The design team has some wonderful inspiration.

Thanks,

Tammy

Challenge Me Monday #99

Hello Everyone,

#99 – Fancy Trims
Use fabric, lace or other trims on your project 

Here is my Entry: 

I started this 5 1/4" square card out with a base of white cs (you can hardly see this in the picture). Then the next layer is cut 5 1/8" square in black cs. The next layer is a 5" square I printed and cut with my imagine. The cartridge is the black and white by Teresa Collins (love this cart). I just used hot pink paper instead of white. The next layer is a scalloped square cut at 4 1/2" found on the Elegant Edges Cartridge. The pink cs is cut at 4 1/4". The girl is cut at 3 1/2" and is from the Forever Young Cartridge. The banners along with the sentiment piece of cs are 1 1/4" wide, each are shadowed with black cs. The sentiment is from Classy & Fabulous a MCT Stamp. I used pop ups on the scallop square, girl, banners, and sentiment. I added buttons, sheer ribbon, and a gemstone along with some distressing.

For the inside of the card I did something very easy I just wanted to cut down the white space on the inside. It is hard to fill it up on a 5 1/4" square card and it looks to plain if I don't add something. 

Thanks,

Tammy
