Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #268 - Anything Goes

I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend!  Welcome to our Die Cuttin' Divas challenge this week - Anything Goes.  I always love these challenges because we get so many great projects and they are all different.  I decided to make my friend's daughter a graduation card because she will be graduating from high school in a couple of weeks.  I decided to make a shaker card this week.  I love making them but I dropped the bottle of glitter before I got the lid back on.  That was quite a mess to clean up.  I have a feeling I will have glitter in my carpet for a long time.  I had to laugh at myself.


Paper: Recollections
Dies: Star, Rectangle and Congrats - My Creative Time
2016 stamps:  Close To My Heart
Gold Glitter: Stampin Up
Ink: Close To My Heart

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #265 - Water Safety Month (water or shades of blue)

Hope all of you had a very Happy Mother's Day.  I was so tired because I spent all day Friday and Saturday at a craft retreat with my girlfriends.  We had a great time and had lots of laughs.  Always a fun time with these ladies.  

This week's challenge at Die Cuttin' Divas is for water safety month (use water or shades of blue).  Since I made a card a couple of weeks ago with my Crocs Rule cartridge, I decided to use it again for this weeks' challenge.  Here is what I came up with:
 Solid paper: DCWV
Patterned paper: Carta Bella "Beach Boardwalk"
Crocodile: Crocs Rule Cricut Cartridge
Seagulls: Life is a Beach Cricut Cartridge
Sun die and sand die:  My Creative Time

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #264 - Sketch Challenge

It is a new month (May already??) and that means this week's challenge is a sketch challenge.  I always seem to find these to be more of a challenge than just making a card based on a theme.  I'm not sure why but it must be how my mind works!  I needed a birthday card (don't we always need birthday cards??) so I used the sketch and some of My Creative Time's dies and came up with this card.
 Solid paper: Recollections
Patterned paper: DCWV "The Birthday Wishes stack"
and Lawn Fawn "Let's Polka in the Meadow"
Pocket and Balloon dies: My Creative Time
Sentiment: Simon Says Stamps
Dots: Stampin' Up
Twine: Doodle Bug Designs

I hope you will stop by Die Cuttin' Divas and check out the amazing projects our design team members have made for this challenge.  We would love to have you join us this week!
