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.

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!!

PBD Challenge #6 - Sketch

I must admit - I see sketches online everywhere, all the time, but I have never used one for inspiration, well until today :)

 Here is the sketch that we were to use to create a project with. As soon as I saw it, I knew these stamps would be perfect!! With a little searching though some paper, I found the perfect papers to use! 

 The sentiment says "Give a girls the right shoes and she can conquer the world" - Marilyn Monroe 

Here is my card made with Shoe Addict - May 2012 SOTM from Pink By Design!

Off to see what the next challenge is :)

PBD Challenge #5 - Ombre

This challenge made me put my thinking cap on - I mad a card & then made another, cause I didn't like the first one.

Here is my take on an ombre card - light to dark or dark to light

This is a 5" x 5" square card.

I used my stars cuttlebug folder to emboss the blue papers

PBD - Challenge #4 - Silhouette Shape

Welcome Back :)

Challenge #4 - made me think a little, I had to go though a couple cricut booklets before I found a shape to use - the easy part - finding a sentiment to go with it!!

Here is my next project, a little card.

I thought a silhouette would mean boring, but I added some fun paper & a few jems ;) And looky, looky, I really like it :)

The sentiment is of course PBD - Rain or Shine - Feb SOTM

Time to get started on challenge #5 - maybe I should eat first :)

PBD - Challenge #3 - Embossing

So we were challenged to use embossing in this project. Here is my next card...

I decided to use my Stampin Up! owl punch to create these cute penguins :)

I used my snowflakes cuttlebug folder to emboss the background.

I ripped some white paper to look like snow & then heat embossed it with white & silver embossing powder.

The sentiment is from PBD - Winter fun - I thought it fit perfectly!

PBD - Challenge #2 - Favorite holiday

Favorite holiday - anyone who knows me knows I LOVE Christmas! Time to get a jump start on my holiday cards - I think so :) I definitely won't complain about that :)

I used my Goodie Label die - PBD

Pink By Design Anniversary Challenge #1

Today Pink by Design is celebrating their 2nd anniversary! I am playing along in the challenges & once I've completed all the projects in the time frame allotted, I will receive a free stamp set!!! How cool is that!!! 

So here is my first project, home decor :)

I started with a blank 12"x12" canvas - I've never stamped on canvas & thought it'd be fun to try.

Not quite as easy as I had thought it would be, but with a little patience, I think it turned out okay.

I know for next time to be sure my stamp is really in place before try to move the canvas to rub the other side! 

I used July SOTM (stamp of the month) - Capture life to make a project for my 8yr old daughter. This summer lots of exciting things are taking place - she will be a flower girl for one last time in my sister's wedding party :) She has been away for two weeks & I'm sure she has captured some great moments - 

 I had some button push pins that I thought just added to the project! 

One thing I did learn after stapling the ribbon on, was that I should've let the ink dry a little more - oops:)

I hope she loves it & will use it to showcase some of her photos!

See you again, VERY SOON! J
