Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge - Anything Goes

Happy Tuesday everyone.  I hope you all had a good weekend.  It sure was hot here this weekend -- 97 degrees.  We have another Santa Ana wind coming through.  It is very dry and very hot.  It's always scary because that is when we get fires in CA.  There were two small fires yesterday but the fire department put them out quickly.  

I had some free time this weekend so I was in my craft room (my happy place!).  This week our Die Cuttin' Divas challenge is Anything Goes.  These challenges are always so much fun.  I decided to make this cute lollipop holder for the challenge. 
Lollipop holder die: Dreaming Tree
Paper: Stampin' Up
Twine: Recollections

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge - Snowflake

Hello and happy Tuesday everyone. I hope you all had a good weekend.  This was the first weekend in a really long time where I was able to relax.  My sister's birthday was Saturday so we all went out to dinner to celebrate.  It was a lot of fun and the food was delicious.

This week's Die Cuttin' Divas challenge is Snowflakes.  It was chilly (well, chilly for San Diego) this weekend so it really did feel like winter to us!  I decided to make a tag for this challenge.
Snowflake tag: A Child's Year Cricut Cartridge
Snowman die: Christmas Cheer Cricut Cartridge 
Paper: My Minds Eye
Ribbon: Michael's
Sentiment: My Creative Time
Label punch: Stampin' Up

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge - Dragons

Hello everyone and Happy Tuesday.  I hope you all had a great weekend.   Mine was busy but great.  I spent Sunday cleaning up my craft room.  It took me quite a while but I'm so happy with the way it looks now.  I had Monday off and got to see some friends from NJ who were visiting CA.  We all had a great time and they were dreading going back to NJ and the cold weather.  

This week's Die Cuttin' Divas challenge is Dragons.  I found this file at My Scrap Chick.
Background paper: Bo Bunny
Solid paper: Recollections
Dragon die: My Scrap Chick
Heart die and sentiment: My Creative Time

Die Cuttin' Divas Sketch Challenge

Hello and Happy New Year!  I hope you all have a happy, healthy 2018.  We don't go out on New Year's Eve anymore.  We stayed home and watched the ball drop in Times Square on TV and had some champagne.  It was a nice, quiet night and I am fine with that.  I'm excited to see what the new year brings for me and my family.  

This is our first challenge of the new year and that means it is a sketch challenge based on this sketch:
Here is the card I made for this week's challenge:
Paper: Recollections
Snowman Die: My Creative Time
Banner Die:  My Creative Time 
Stamp: My Creative Time
