Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturday

Happy Saturday!
Time for another Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturday challenge. Today in honor of Labor Day here in the USA the challenge is Labor Day/Occupation. Your card, scrapbook page, or craft project should show something that depicts some kind of occupation. 
Our sponsor this week is the amazing Sassy Studio Designs. 

The winner this week will receive 4 digital images of their choosing.

School started last Thursday here in Wisconsin. I made this card for a friend to wish her a wonderful year and to thank her for her dedication to her students and community. 

The image is from  Sassy Studio Designs. The sentiment is from a set called "Back to School"  by Rupa Shevde. The paper is Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 and SU So Saffron.


This card also works for Sassy Studio Designs Back to School challenge over at Paper Craft Planet. If you get there today "Saturday" you can get in on there Friday Freebie. PLUSE The are having a huge party today, Saturday, to celebrate 400 followers at PCP. There are lots of free images. Go check it out.


I hope you will join us at SSDS this week. I look forward to seeing your creations.

Cricut Cardz Challenge

Hi Everyone,
Well when you read this I will be in a 90+ degree classroom with no air helping a friend with her first grade class on their first day of school. YEA!!! LOL


Yesterday I was visiting Cardz TV and read about the changes they are making at their challenge blog Cricut Cardz. I don't remember if I ever participated in one of their challenges so I thought it is high time I do.
The challenge is called "Card Crazy."
You are to make a card using the card feature from any cartridge you'd like, using any colors, and any occasion you'd like. Pretty easy right? Lately I have been just crazy about cherries. I can't stop eating them. That motivated me to make this card with cherries. 

The cartridges I used are Ashlyn's Alphabet and Preserves. The paper was in my scrap bin so I can't tell you the name of the designer.

I hope you are having a Cherry Day!

Relax

Happy Wednesday!
Thank you so much to all of you who voted for me at LESSology. I am so surprised to see how many votes I got. You know sometimes you think you are talking to yourself when you do a blog.

Thank You !

Thank You !

 Thank You !

Today I have a card I made for the challenge over at Cricut 360. The challenge is "Relax." This is also for the challenge at Dare to be Sassy Thursday which is "Back to School." I know it looks like a stretch but tomorrow I am going to help a good friend in her first grade classroom. They are calling for 93+ temps. and the school has no air. So this is what I will be doing when I get home tomorrow night. I will be reminding myself how happy I am to be retired.

I decided to give my CRI-Kits a try. I have them over a year and used them once. They really are fun. I just never think to use them. You can't see it in the picture so here is a close up.

Can you see it? It is a very light green. I think I should have used a darker color.

The cartridge I used was Wall Decor and More.

Here is the card.

The image was the free image last week from Sassy Studio Designs. I thought that image just screamed "Relax."  I printed her out on white and two different designer paper. She also made me think of the 70's so I used the Perfectly Paisley CB folder on the bottom layer. 

Happy frist day back to all the teachers out there.

CDAC Progressive Freebie Challeng

Hi Everyone. So happy you stopped here today. I have a card I made with a free digital image from the Progressive Freebie Challenge.  As long as you use one of the images each month you will be given free digital images for the next month. The progressive challenge started in August and runs though December. So that will be six challenge. If you do all six you will be in a drawing for a grand prize. This month there were six images. Because I started so late I only have one card to show you but I could make as many as you want. My image is by Sandi Samples. 
Here is my card.

I love tea and have a tea pot that I got while in England. I use it every day. It is not as fancy as this one but I do drink out of a fancy china tea up every day.
The lace if from the haul last week and the sentiment is from SU.  
Head over and sign up you will find a lot of fun stuff going on over at Creative Digital Art Center.

ATC for CDAC and Shrink Plastic

Hi Everyone,
I am in another ATC swap at Crafters Digital Art Center. This one is a Vintage Christmas theme. One of the requirements is to us a digital image. I decided to take the image and print it on Shrinky Dinks, color it and make a charm to add to my artist trading card. The image I used is from Fred She Said Designs Christmas Ornament 2 Digi.

If you would like to see how I did this check out my video. I even figured out how to speed up parts of the video. Well I had to update my computer but that was something fun to learn.
OK I hope you like this and maybe learn something fun to do.
