Your are my Sunshine shaker card

I created this card for my nieces 5th Birthday next week, she loves Tinkerbell and I know she will just love this shaker card,
I'm entering this card into this weeks Movement challenge over at the Silhouette blog. here
For this challenge I decided to create a shaker card, it started out using the You are my sunshine notecard Silhouette cutting file, I covered the back of the words with tape and applied glitter, cut the sun's rays with metallic gold paper and hand cut a layer of foam using the shape as a template, I layered it all together with clear film and a printed mat, placing sequins in between the foam and top and bottom layers,

The flowers are cut using an original Silhouette cutting file, the flourish is a die-cut and the Tinkerbell is stamped on clear film colored with markers. I added rhinestones to the flower centers to finish my card. I'm really amazed at how well my card turned out.

10 Minute card

I decided to take the 10 minute challenge over at Pretty pink Posh blog spot. here
Each week they host a 10 minute challenge where they give you a color palette and ask you to try and create a card or project in 10 minutes, I didn't believe that I could manage it, it seems to take me so long to do my projects, I always put so much care into each one, but I found that I could!
I can't say the same for gathering the supplies, or deciding what to create, I was going to do a tag, but then decided on a card, good thing they let you gather your supplies before clocking yourself.
It took me 9min 32 seconds, actually it took 8 minutes 32 seconds but I realized I forgot to add my bow so I quickly added it, and still had some time left, but I added the minute just to be fair,
I used some Printed cardstock from my stash, colored cardstocks, ribbon and a printed poem, the border is cut with a Sizzix die, and the rose and tag are cut using Spellbinders dies.
This is my collection of supplies before starting, opps forgot to add the ribbon to the pile here as well.

Christmas in July

Christmas in July? Who whats to think of Christmas already? Yet so many sites are having Christmas in July challenges, and there are so many beautiful new Christmas collections out there,
I created this card with this cute little puppy from Kadoodle Bug cutting designs found here for a challenge over at Cut it Up blog spot. here. I'm going to be entering this card into their Christmas in July challenge as well as a similar challenge on Kadoodle Bug's facebook page.
I used KBD's Birthday Puppy file which I converted into a Christmas puppy with a santa hat and bubble from another file, used a shaped card cut with my cricut, twine, some stickers and a small stamp.

For my card I used a number of cardstocks and papers from my stash, fiber, Cuddlebug baby dies for the bottle and baby cuts, the stork stamps is from Forever in Time and the baby sentiment is from Tanner Bell Designs, the banner die-cut is a cricut cut. The baby die-cut is propped up with an action wobble.

I Scrap Designs Projects

I created this card for my friend over at I scrap Designs, she sells beautiful Cutting files here.http://www.visualdesignsbychris.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=22
for my card I used this beautiful journal cutting file found here and a digi cut from Kreative Cuts, a facebook group I sometimes join for challenges,
I love these beautiful journal cards and there's quite a few in the set, so you get a great deal.
I used lined paper for the cards background which I crinkled and distressed with Tim Holtz distress ink, a flourish stamp and some bling.
For this fun layout of my adorable niece I also used one of the journal cards, this time I used it for journaling,
I also used cuttings from Paper Peicings by Nicki and Cloud 9 Designs. The flourish and Love tab are also cutting files but I don't know where I picked those up.

Welcome baby

I created this layout for a challenge over at Red Carpet Studio challenge blog here
for this layout I used Autumn Leaves paper, Cardstock and stamps from Inkadadio and See Dee's. Cutting files used are from Kadoodle Bug Designs and the frame comes from the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge.
