Final PBD challenge - Junk Drawer

My final project of the day - Junk Drawer :)
I found life savers in the bottom of my purse, they are stale, so perfect to put on a card ;)





What an awesome fun day!!!

Big thanks to all who hung out today!!

PBD Challenge #12 - Inspiration

This challenge has to be linked up within an hour of it's appearance - We've had 3 hours for most, 2 hours for the last one, an now only an hour.
With the pressure on - I did in 15 mins :) Super quick card yes, but the meaning will be appreciated.




Here is my card along with the inspiration - My daughter's stuffy - Snowy :)

My daughter got a hole in her stuffy a couple weeks ago & asked me to fix it, so it's been sitting on my craft desk for  little while. I pick her up tomorrow from here two weeks away & will have her stuffy all sewed up for her, along with a little card. I know it's not really cold outside, but my life's been a little empty the past couple of weeks & she will bring me warmth tomorrow.


I have really enjoyed playing along with everyone today! It's been so nice getting little comments on my blog & your kind words have brought me great joy!

Thanks again! 
Happy Anniversary to Pink By Design - look forward to many more years!

PBD Challenge #11 - Single Layer Card

When I read the challenge I thought ' oh no, I never use only 1 piece of paper.... Yikes'
So I started by trying to use a background stamp, that didn't work out at all :(
Next up, deciding on a sentiment.... Then I thought why not make a little subway art card, so that's what I did :)


Here it is... 

I used many different sets from Pink By Design.

Getting set for my final challenge of the day :)

PBD Challenge #10 - Go Wild


 In the 10th challenge today - we were asked to use an animal or an animal print in a project - I did both :)




I made another Christmas card!! YIPPEE!!!

Reindeer - Cricut Create a Critter Cart
I used some snow for texture 
Sentiment is PBD - Christmas Wishes

Off to see #11 :)

PBD Challenge #9 - Buttons

I wanted to create something fun this time - without paper, that almost worked until it came time to stamp. I bought some cute wood tags from Pick your Plum - They are super cute & I want to make lots of Christmas tags this year, but the ink I have bleeds into the wood & looks terrible. If you have any suggestions please feel free to let me know - I'd really appreciate it! 

So here is my project...


I used Stampin Up! buttons & made a little Christmas tree.

This is the back side - I covered it in paper & inked & stamped in Wasabi - my favorite Stampin Up! green!
The twine is a combo of Twisted Lime -  & Red is from Pick Your Plum
The stamps are from PBD, of course & are Christmas Wishes!

Let's see what #10 will bring!

PBD Challenge # 8 - Ribbon or Bows

Ribbon or bows - I chose Ribbon, Sparkly ribbon :) 
3 different colors of sparkly ribbon :)



Here's my little card :)
Again I looked through my pre-made die cuts & found this flying heart. I put white stitching around it to give more dimension.

Inside I stamped PBD - Go Green

Off to see the next challenge :)

PBD - Challenge #7 - Tags

The next challenge is to make & use a tag. I pulled out my tags, bags, boxes & more 2 cart & cut a box &three different sized tags. I'm not great at guessing what sizes I need for things. Here is the project I came up with.



I pulled out my stash of pre-made die cuts & found these little apples.
They would be perfect for this little gable box!
I used some glossy accents on the leaves & some sparkle spritz from Stampin Up! - not sure of the technical  name.
This little sentiment is from Our Teachers - PBD
Berry Red - Trendy Twine

I'll send this for my little girls first day of fourth grade in a few weeks - for her teacher who has taught her Kindergarten, grade 3, and will be her teacher for grade 4 too :)
PS - It won't have an apple, it'll be filled with chocolates!!
