365 Cards: Cutting Cafe Strawberry!

Well peeps, it has finally come. The very last day of our Cutting Cafe Week. Oh what a week it has been! I am really sad that it is over and that this is my last card to show, because honestly it feels like a bit of a downer. Wish it looked a bit better or was more interesting, but alas, it's all I got:

I paper pieced the strawberry and added yet more stickles. I outlined the pieces with a marker to add a bit of pop. The rest is self-explanatory ; )   The challenge for today is to put the image front and center with the white all around, so it didn't leave much more for me to do!

ok. so today, I am off to the Brooklyn Bridge to watch a friend get married, or arrested...whichever comes first. We are pretty sure it is illegal so we might have to make a run for it. (I just hope its not cops with horses ; ) You know, sometimes you have those kind of friends that just don't care. It should prove to be a good time and I am really happy I have been working on my running abilities as of late. They just might come in handy! I will fill you in if anything ca-Razzzy happens.

Thank you for checking in with me! I so look forward to your visits and comments. You make this so fun! I have been enjoying seeing what you have been working on this week as well. It's always inspiring!

Have a great weekend!

365 Challenge: Cutting Cafe Week!

Hey All! Day #3's challenge of Cutting Cafe week is "The Eye's Have it!" Use the word Eye somewhere on your card. The 365 Cards DT-ers are to use the apple image from Cutting Cafe. Here is my card:

I made a window of acetate. The base card is a dark green (Ripe Avocado) and the inside is a light green (spring moss). I also score the top of the card in about 1/4 inch on either side of the fold, punched holes and wrapped my string through to create a little 'book binding' look. I liked cutting out the words on my first Cutting Cafe card so I tried that again but paired it with some chipboard letters.

Hope you are enjoying Cutting Cafe week so far. What do you think?? The images are so fun and there are endless possibilities. We hope you like what you have seen!! Check back tomorrow for another card. See you then!

365 Challenge: Cutting Cafe Week!

Happy Memorial Day to each of you! What a lovely day and an especially important day to honor those men and women who have given themselves to serving our country. I salute them and feel a swelling of gratitude and admiration for them especially today. What courage, discipline and faith it must have taken and still does take to serve. Bless you and your families for all you have given.

It's day #2 of our Cutting Cafe week and I am delighted to participate today in the challenge. Pam has issued it.... and I answered the call. The challenge is to use purple as the main color and use at least 5 circles on the card. Also, the DT member(s) are to use this adorable Cutting Cafe image. And here is my card:

The first thing I realized when doing this card was that I have ZERO purple patterned paper. So I got the chance to make my own. I used this dark purple paper that I think came from a Michael's pack, but I couldn't be sure. There was only one sheet sitting hidden among the other colors. I used 2 PTI Background Basics sets with white ink. I printed my Cutting Cafe grape image and colored it with the SU! Kid Markers (they are bright and fun colors!). My 5+ circles are the little jems I picked up (Michael's dollar spot.) I used my Nestabilities to cut the circle and scallop and popped them up on dots.  

I hope you have a wonderful day and have a chance to play along with the challenge. How much purple do you own? It doesn't seem like an overly used color, so stretch yourself today and take on the challenge. I can't wait to see what you create!!

loves~
