Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge - Baseball Season Ends (baseball/favorite team colors)

Happy Tuesday to you all!  I had a busy weekend and it's hard to believe it is Tuesday already.  The air show was in town this weekend.  We have been to it many times and decided not to go this year.  We sat in our front yard around 2 p.m. on Saturday because we knew that was the time the Blue Angels would be flying.  They flew right over our house.  I never get tired of watching them, they are so amazing.

On to this week's Die Cuttin' Divas challenge which is Baseball Season Ends (baseball/favorite team colors).  My favorite baseball team is still the Yankees.  I made a baseball birthday card and used blue and white on the background because that is their colors.  The Yankees have not been to a World Series in a while so I'm still hopeful they will get in this year.

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge - National Coffee Day (coffee or shades of brown)

Happy Tuesday to all of you and welcome to our weekly challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas.  This week our challenge is to make a project for National Coffee Day (coffee or shades of brown).  

My husband has always loved bold coffee but I would drink a milder coffee.  One day he told me to try it so I did and I have been hooked on the dark french roast coffee ever since.  Now I can't drink regular coffee because it tastes too weak to me.  He ruined me for other coffee! :)  

On to our challenge.  I needed another thank you card so this is what I decided to make for our challenge:
Coffee Cup: Close to my Heart Artistry Cricut cartridge
Paper: Stampin' Up
Sentiment: My Creative Time
Ink: Stampin' Up
Ribbon: Michaels
Bling: Queen & Co.

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge - 3D, Shaker or Shaped Card

Hello crafty friends!  I had a four day weekend and it was fabulous.  Last Thursday my sister and I went to the beach for the day. The water was warm and it was great to be near the ocean and just relax and read my Kindle.  We had a great time.  Last Friday and Saturday I attended a crop and I had so much fun. I got lots of things done and just hung out with my awesome friends.  They always make me laugh and there is always chocolate!

On to this week's Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge, which is to make a 3D, Shaker or Shaped Card.  I always need birthday cards (don't we all??) so I decided to make a birthday shaker card.
