Creative Knockouts #91- Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge

Team B has another challenge for you this week - it's a Tic-Tac-Toe challenge and Bugaboo stamps is our sponsor.  My image is called Make It Snappy Fairy.  I ended up fussy cutting her and popping her out against the background panel.

Check out the Creative Knockouts blog for a look at the Tic-Tac-Toe board (I used the top row - digi, embossing, die cut)  and to see what the other DT gals have created.  Hope your mojo is working and that you play along!

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #362

Happy Saturday, Sketchers!  Today's sketch was designed by Debra.  Bugaboo Stamps is the sponsor.  My card features their Cupcake Circle Tag.  I used two circle dies to create the sentiment ring and fussy cut the cupcake top.  My red tag just had white polka dots so I added some yellow to help tie in the whole card.  I pulled out a Spellbinders embossing folder to add some texture to the card back.

The DT's take on Deb's idea was creative.  Stop by Sketch Saturday's blog and take a look here and then play along with us.

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #361

Happy Saturday, Sketch Fans!
I'm a bit of ahead of the game this week, which feels good!  The image is from Digi Stamp Boutique called, Flower Vases.  Maybe I can enable you on this cute site the way my buddy, Lisa Lara enabled me last weekend with this card!  When I saw her adorable bird, I went shopping (and could have bought more!)!  This set has three adorable vases of flowers.  They color up really quickly and make a fabulous card!  I used the same image to make tags for Mother's Day last weekend.

Challenge #361 is sponsored by Bunny Zoe. I hope you'll pop over to the Sketch Saturday blog to take a look at the other DT inspiration and make some time to play along with Alex's fun sketch this week!

Creative Knockouts #89 - Washi Tape

Sami Stamps is the sponsor for this week's Creative Knockouts Challenge.  We're using washi tape for this challenge!  I found some 5x5" sheets of washi at Michaels and cut it to give it the tape look for the yellow chevron.  It's perfect with the black and white polka dot washi and and this sweet little cat called Flower Whiskers.  I added a computer generated sentiment and die cut it in a speech bubble, put some Stickles on the flowers and added 3 sequins.

Come and see what the rest of the Creative Knockouts DT has created and join us for our Washi Tape challenge!

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #360

I'm working right up to the wire for this week's post!  It's been a super crazy time at work and I come home and work more!  That's how it goes in May when you work in a school!

I decided to go with another CAS card, which still take me a while to make!  I have a whole batch of "thank you" cards to make, so I'm knocking one off of my list with Sketch #360 from Sketch Saturday.   I used the inlaid technique with the oval and the word thanks.  After I die cut the oval out of the white card front, I used an eb folder on the paper to give it some texture.  The flowers are colored with watercolor markers, spritzed with water, and then stamped onto watercolor paper.

Sketch Saturday - Sketch #359

This week Sketch Saturday is sponsored by A Day for Daisies.  I feel fortunate to have had a few opportunities to "play" with ADFD images in the past few weeks - I love coloring them!  This cute image is called Ten Cents A Sip. The coloring challenge for me was figuring out how to make the lemonade look a little opaque.  I'm pretty happy with how this turned out.
This cute image made me fast forward my imagination.  We just started the last month of school.  It's approaching summer here in MN - and I am so ready for neighborhood lemonade stands! We've had two generations of them outside of our house - my own kids and now my grandkids, although they sell it by the glass, not by the sip!!

 Nikki has a fun sketch to work with - lots of possibilities to use pieces from the scrap drawer!   Take a peek at our DT's take on the sketch and then upload your card here!
