Coach's Gifts

Good morning everyone,
I wanted to share the "ice cooler" gift baskets I made for my sons' baseball coaches.  I used my Cameo to cut out the coach's names and baseball seams using vinyl.  Super easy in case any of you are looking for some ideas for your coaches.

Thank You

Good morning everyone,
I just wanted to share this cute lit' card I made this morning...

Christmas Ornaments

Good Morning Everyone,
I just wanted to share a little something I made last night for my co-workers.  I decided to make them all personalized ornaments and this is what I got:

22 ornaments in all!

I used my Cameo for all the cutting.  I had forgotten how easy it is to use and how fast you just get things done.  I hadn't made anything for a while, so I was really happy to just zip through this little project without any glitches.  

Thank you for coming by.  I wish you all a great Holiday Season!

For our Coach

Good morning everyone.  I wanted to share these cute cards I made for our baseball coaches.  We had our end of the season party and I made these to go along with their gifts.  Hope you guys like them.

Wild About You

Hi everyone.  I hope you are doing well.  I wanted to share another card I just finished with you tonight...

The embossing folder is Sizzix-Swirly Vines with Hearts.

I used the Spellbinders Nestabilities to cut out the card.

The sentiment is computer generated.

The cute ribbon is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

This cute lit lion is by Meljen's Designs.  I am such a fan of her digis.  She has some of the cutest ones out there.  You should go check them out if you aren't familiar with them.  You will love them too.

I used my Cameo to cut perfectly around my digi.  I can't tell you how happy I am with that feature.  It makes cutting these lit guys so easy and so precise!!

I hope you all have enjoyed my card.  Also, for all of you Silhouette users out there (Cameo & SD), go over to Cameo Creations for the latest challenge and inspiration.

Challenges:

Meljen's-Red &/or Pink

RRR-Valentine's Day

Have a great night everyone!!

Crafty Sprouts-Case our DT Challenge

Good morning my crafty friends.  Thank you for joining us for another fun challenge over at Crafty Sprouts. This week the challenge is to Case our DT.  What this means is you need to look for a card or project that one of us has created and copy the style/layout or be inspired by the colors, image, DP, style, etc.  Basically any project of ours that has inspired you to create something similar.  We need to be able to tell where you got your idea from, so also provide the link to the card/project that you CASED.  Easy right??
So for my card, I cased Sandra's easel card.  First I just thought her card was super cute and second, I have never ever made an easel card.  Can you believe that?? So what better way to challenge myself to try something new than to just go for it!!  Here is a picture of Sandra's card:

And here is my project:

I used my Imagine and the Imagine More cart for this project, including the paper.

Here is the card closed.  I have to tell you, making this card was super easy.  I used the tutorial by Jinger Adams which you can find here.

This super cute sentiment is from Erika's (Crafty Sprouts) stamp set...Besties for Life.

The border punch I used is Martha Stewart...Vintage Doily.

Ok, my friends, I hope you have enjoyed your visit.  Make sure you go on over to Crafty  Sprouts to check out all of my DT sisters fun projects for more ideas and inspiration.  You can also link up your challenge project there too.  The prize is this new PKS stamp:

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with!!  Who knows, maybe you will learn something new like i did!!

Have a great weekend my friends!!
