Trigger and a Challenge!

A Polka Dotted Hullabaloo! There are just so many things to do when it comes to polka dots...and while in all honesty I wasn't totally taken by this weeks Tuesday Trigger, I did have these flowers I have been waiting for the perfect color combo to come along and use and here it is!!

and here's my CAS card! I used Dots For Sure by Ippity...if you love it as much as I do click on the link to Rona's Ippity shop on my side bar!! She's the best Ippity chick around! For some reason the blue in this card looks SO bright on the computer but IRL, it's much darker! Strange!

Onto the challenge! A Moxie Fab challenge to be exact using tissue paper in innovative ways! Now I wasn't too creative in what I made by just taking the twisted paper flowers and turning them into lolli pops BUT it went PERFECTLY along with the Papercraft Star challenge as well!! So since I wanted them to look like lolli's, I twisted 2 different colors of tissue paper together before twisting them together! I used metallic tissue paper to make the lolli pop sticks as well which I really love!

Here is the PCS challenge inspo pic!

And my card!

Hope you like my 2 cards today!

Oh yeah...and one of my cards got accepted to Paper Crafts Holiday Cards and More! VOlume 6 issue!! OMGGGGG!!! SO EXCITED!! I can hardly believe it!! I keep reading the email:)

Tuesday Trigger and a SURPRISE!!

The Tuesday Trigger this week is stunning and inspiring as always! I immediately knew what I wanted to do! I loved this tag that Teri Anderson made on pg 16 of PC May/April 2011 issue and wanted to not only make a baby card but use the same layout she did. I spiced it up with some wet/crumple flowers, decorative diecuts, AND I used my MS score board for the VERY FIRST TIME to do something other than score a card!! WHOO HOO!! And I absolutely LURRRRRV the background it made for my card! Simple, sweet, perfect!

Here is the Trigger Photo:

And my card!

From Cute to CASE

I got a few challenge cards done last night and finished up my DT projects for April! I have been getting very productive late at night while the kids are sleeping and George is at work! I love it, it's very peaceful!!

First we have the C.R.A.F.T Challenge #97 and the Design Dollies Elements Challenge! I had to use an animal or pet, and buttons in a creative way. I have been hanging onto this cute stamp for ages and wanted to ink it! So glad I did because it's ADORABLE!

And then there is the ever so stunning CASE study challenge! I LOVE this challenge group so much! And they have an amazing Muse for April Silke Ledlow . She is one crazy talented lady! And I loved her card so much I truly CASEd it!!

thanks for stopping by!!
