Link to graduation box.

Awhile back someone asked me for the pattern for this graduation cap box. I can't give out the file because I isn't mine to give, but I can direct you to the blog and the store where the owner sells it.
The blog is called Paper compulsions, (addy is on the picture),  here is the link to the tutorial for the assembly of the box on her blog http://papercompulsions.blogspot.ca/2012/05/graduation-cap-box.ht
You can click the link at the bottom of the post and it will take you to the store where she sells the file. 

Baptism Card

I created this special card for a friend,
I'm going to enter it into this weeks challenge over at LSHD's Design Team blog, http://littlescrapsofheavendt.blogspot.ca/
For my card I used 2 LSHD flower files, the roses were a previous freebie, and the daisys are part of another freebie file. I just used the flowers not the pot, I can't remember where I got the scroll file from, when I first started collecting my cutting files I didn't realize that I'd want to know where the file comes from someday, now alot of my files are unknowns.
I created the phrase in my silhouette program and let the machine draw it for me, amazing what the little machine can do.
The background is something new I decided to try, I have some DCWV corrugated papers, I'm not really too crazy for corrugated papers because of the bulk, but wanted to use it here, so I decided to try and see what would happen if I embossed it, so I ran it through my cuddlebug and it came out beautifully, it still had the corrugated design but also the embossing folders, and the best part is that it flattened some of the paper's bulk, while leaving the design intact.
I finished of my card by adding tiny glass marbles to the daisy centers and back propped the flowers with a die-cut Sizzix flourish.

Cards, cards and more cards.

I wanted to show off a few cards I'd made recently for a number of challenges.





These 6 I created for a crop over at Fiskateers.com

These are some Easter cards
and last but not least a cute shaped baby card I made for the birth of my newest nephew.

Over at the Cut it Up challenge blog they are having a Lion/Lamb challenge.http://cutitupchallenges.blogspot.ca/ I decided to create a baby card using a Cuddlebug lion diecut and my new Spellbinders Crown ovals set.

Love Now & Always layout

I created this layout for my March DT entery over at http://iscrapdesigns.blogspot.ca/ I Scrap Design blog, as well as this weeks entery over at http://www.creativetimeforme.com/2013/03/designer-challenge-miss-kim-321.html My Creative Time blog.
I used a plain pink background, I used some hand cut doilies to mask my glimmer misted background for the top peice, The title peice...Love Now & Always is one of Ileana's beautiful files over from I Scrap Designs store on the Visual Design site http://www.visualdesignsbychris.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=22, The butterflies are die-cuts that I glimmer misted and layered and added some bling, the silver florishes are Sizzix die-cuts and the double rings are cut from the Life's a Party Cartridge, also used a few different printed papers and a printed journal block given from Scraptastical Kreations. http://www.scraptasticalkreations.com/
The My Creative Time challenge was a Tic Tac toe challenge, my choice was 3rd down.....Bling (silver flourishes, gemstones, glimmer mist)....Die-cut (rings, flourishes, title)..Stitching (the entire page is stitched together), Sorry the picture isn't clearer, I'll try to take another after the sun has gone down, maybe it'll cut down on the glare.
