Squigglefly's three layer project

The challenge over at the Squigglefly Challenge Blog this week is to make your card/project using three layers. I was tired of looking at the bag of puppy treats on my counter all the time, so I decided to make a treat jar for my puppy Max's treats. I have used the new Artiste Cartridge for my shape-after finally getting it all updated, I am excited to try it out!!  My cute little puppy image is from Squigglefly and comes with a bunch of sentiments as well! Check it out: Cute Dog with mix n match sentiments, by Brian Lock.

I hope you will join us this week-you still have plenty of time-and there are freebie images on the site, if you don't already own one!

The Cutting Cafe's back to school....

This weeks inspiration at The Cutting Cafe, is all about back to school. We were asked to use one or more of the following:

APPLE BOX SET....TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILE

APPLE TREAT BOX....TEMPLATE - CUTTING FILE

ALL ABOUT SCHOOL...PRINTABLE STAMP SET

SCHOOL BORDERS...PRINTABLE STAMP SET

I have used: Apple Treat Box...Template-Cutting File. I have also used an extra of the apple to make a matching card to go along with the treat box. The sentiment is also from the same file. 

What a fun little set this will be for my daughter to take her new teacher on the first day of school! I can't believe it is almost time for school to start back up-where did the summer go? This summer has been way to hot for me-I am so looking forward to fall.

Make sure to check out The Cutting Cafe's Blog on Wednesday evening for more inspiration with these sets!

Have a great day.

"Background" box and more...

Hi all! Today I have a couple "gifty" things to show you, ones I have made for a couple of my daughters Baby shower prizes. First up is a box made from a file from The Cutting Cafe: Divider box with handles--I did adjust the handle over a bit, as it was meant to be in the middle-but I couldn't get the items I have to fit that way. I also added a front, using another file from The Cutting Cafe: Fabulous . The Thank You is also from a The Cutting Cafe file-All Occasion Circle Word Set 1-and worked perfectly here.
I also then added the little brads in the corners and a flower at the top--a couple ribbons, and ta-da it is done!

The next little bags, I made using a tutorial found on  the internet-and two different files from The Cutting Cafe-the Thank You is from All Occasion Circle Word Set 1 and the cute little bow is from Bow Tie and Ribbon template

Well, thanks for stopping by today!! Have a great week!

CUTE...

I have a card today to share with you-I have used this adorable little image available over at Squigglefly: Dragonfly Gaze by artist Diane Carubia.
I just had to try coloring up her hair red--I almost ALWAYS go with blonde, but this one shouted red to me. I paper pieced the bunny and the dragonfly. I  tried my hand once again at paper Piercing,(you can see it better if you click the picture to make it bigger) which is the challenge this week-and there is plenty time to enter your paper piercing, over at the Squigglefly Challenge Blog !!

I also added a bow that is a cutting file available over at The Cutting Cafe-(Bow Tie and Ribbon template) how cute is that? It comes in several sizes-and I even made this one smaller-so it is perfect for gift boxes too!! Check it out HERE, and then make sure to check out all the DT projects later today-HERE for lots more inspiration!
Thanks for stopping by today-Rhonda

A new Squigglefly Challenge-Paper Piercing

Hi!
I found out something---I am really horrible at my own challenge! I picked Paper Piercing--and totally flunked out! I used the adorable new image available over at Squigglefly called Sweet Country Bunny by artist Denise Clemmensen. I tried to paper pierce--and then when the piercing didn't show up very well, I went over the piercings with my white gel pen. So now they really don't even look like piercings! You will have to trust me though, they really are there!

There are some really fantastic new images available--so run on over and check them out--and lets see how YOUR PAPER PIERCING LOOKS!! (way better than mine, I can assure you of that!) I hope to get the chance in the middle of the week to try again! Hope to see you then!
