2 Sisters Challenge: Challenge #80 - Anything Goes sponsored by The Greeting Farm (Mid Week Inspiration)

Here is another project from me using The Greeting Farm's Birthday Boy Ian.   Again, many thanks to The Greeting Farm for sponsoring us over at the 2 Sisters Challenge Blog. :)

Since we're doing Anything Goes, I am showcasing a birthday layout for our friends' little boy.  Here it is.

A few close up shots of some of the elements.

I have used the sketch from Cheryl's S4All challenge which is from PageMaps.

And for another S4All Challenge from Jessica this time - a February Birthday LO challenge.
I also added in a "toothpick flag" for SEM's Technique Challenge.

2 Sisters Challenge: Challenge #80 - Anything Goes sponsored by The Greeting Farm

I am so excited about this week's challenge at the 2 Sisters Challenge Blog.  You know why?  Because The Greeting Farm is sponsoring!

Believe me, they have some of the cutest digital images around and you'll definitely want to pop over their shop and pick out your favourites!

We are doing an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge this week, and so I am not doing a card this time.  My project is a gift card holder which will be for our friend's boy's upcoming 3rd birthday.  I used Birthday Boy Ian on my project...

Here is how it looks like inside...

Close up on the adorable Ian! :)

CCCC: Challenge # 7 - Drink Up Challenge Sponsored by A Day for Daisies

Here's to another fun and creative week at the Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenge Blog.  This week, the design team was kindly sponsored by A Day for Daisies.

This fortnight's challenge is themed "DRINK UP" which means that you must have a drink in your image.
I have two cards made for you hoping that you would be inspired to create and link up your cards on the challenge blog.  Here are my card creations.

Strawberries in Milk

Tea Time Fairy

I hope you liked what you see.  Come visit the rest of the lovely creations from the design team, and then it's your turn to create! :)  See you there!

- o0o -

Some challenges for my card creations:
1. Anything Goes at Anything Goes
2. The Crazy Challenge - Use a Die or Punch - For my Strawberries in Milk card, I cut the card base, the scallop circle matting, and my image in a circle with my Cricut Expression using Accent Essentials cartridge.
3. Lollipop Crafts - Anything Goes\
4. Top Tip Tuesday - Mystical, Magical, & Fantasy 
TOP TIP ALERT:  Shaped cards are especially fun to make since they make something so simple look so intricate and complicated to make.  The Cricut Expression is my go to tool in these times.
5. Cute Card Thursday - Winged Things
6. Flutterby Wednesday - Photo Inspiration - My Strawberries in Milk card is definitely inspired by this pretty photo of pink blooms!

7. Simply Create Too - Add Sunshine to Your Day - My Team Time Fairy card definitely hopes to send sunshine your way. :)

2 Sisters Challenge: Challenge #79 - Stitching (Real or Faux) sponsored by Robyn's Fetish

Are you ready for another challenge at the 2 Sisters Challenge Blog? :)

This week, we are doing a "STITCHING" challenge.  Real or faux, it's your choice.  And we are sponsored by Robyn's Fetish! :)

I haven't really got the hang of real stitching on cards.  So I am doing faux stitching for my card for you this week. Here it is... 

Oh, it's another of my aperture/window cards. 

Close up on the wonderful digi image.  I used Cabin in the Woods.

I hope my little handiwork inspires you.  Do join us this week, we look forward to seeing your projects!

Challenge Entry: Sticky Note Holder

I made a little present for a friend who's celebrating her birthday.  It's a sticky  note holder. :)

Since it's the "love month" still, I used heart-y papers from Doodlebug Designs.  Some bling from My Mind's Eye. Sentiment stamp from Inkadinkado.  Corner punchers from Carl Craft. And the adorable girl stamp is Hero Arts! :)  The shape is a die cut from the Accent Essentials cartridge on the Cricut Expression.  The ribbon is from my stash. 

And here is what's inside.  I know, I should have picked the pink pad instead! (facepalm)

My friend is a fan of cutesy little things, so I am sure she'll love this! :)

Challenge Entry: Forever Yours (Scrap LO)

Valentines Day is just a few days away.  And here's my "red hot" LO celebrating the reason behind the season, that is LOVE.  Okay, here's it...

More photos to show some of the details.

My LO is inspired by Sketches 4 All's Valentines-themed sketch challenge for February.  Here it is.

I am also submitting my LO to these challenges.
1. Scrapping Everyday Miracles - Challenge #13
2. Cooking With Cricut - Love Song Blog Hop - As you can see by the title, Forever Yours, that's a Journey song. I was inspired by the passionate lyrics of the song thus the red-theme of my LO.
3. PaperTreyInk - 5ht Anniversary - Day 7 - The text stamps are from the Sweet Love stamp set.

It's me,

Challenge Entry: CPS 5th Anniversary - Day 11

Here's my take on CPS 5th Anniversary - Day 11 sketch.  It will be for a friend's upcoming birthday.  Well, it's not really an outright birthday card, but you are supposed to be made special on your special day, right? So, that's the bottom line. :)

The Vintage Apron digi is from Bows n Berries, by the way
