Connie Can Crop Monthly Challenge ~ 65

This is Connie's last challenge for 2017!!! EEK! This year totally blew by me! Lets kick off the month with something fancy. 

You must create either a 3D project or a card with a fancy fold. 

I went with the 3D project this month! I found a great exploding ornament box in the Silhouette store to use. The pattern paper is all Echo Park "Holly Jolly Christmas" and the solid paper is ll from DCWV Mariposa stack. Lots of glue, lots of pop dots and some burnt fingertips from the hot glue for the ribbon! But, I absolutely love this set!

Connie Can Crop Monthly Challenge ~ 62

Time for another challenge at Connie Can Crop, and this months theme is "anything goes"! I love this theme, as the different projects that come in are always such one of a kind pieces! 

I bought some smash book embellishments from Tuesday Morning a while back. I just loved them, but I don't have a smash book. LOL I used one of them for my card today...gumballs and I have a bond :) We had mini gumball machines as our wedding favors! haha! 

Here is my card...

& here is my wedding favors!

Connie Can Crop ~ Monthly Challenge #61

Time for another monthly challenge over at Connie Can Crop! Her theme this time is water colors :) Create anything with watercolors in it! 

For my project, I created a very simple card. I don't have water color markers or paint, so I improvised. I had bought this adorable little girl in the Silhouette Design Store a while back- Her romper and hair has the watercolor look to them. 

I used cardstock from my stash. The sentiment and the bubbles are from Jaded Blossom and the girl is by Rivka Wilkins, Design ID #57067 in the SIL store. 

I used blush ink from Close to my Heart for the sentiment and I also used it for some shaded color on the cream background. 

Thanks for stopping by today! I can't wait to see what you enter!

Connie Can Crop Monthly Challenge #58

Time for another monthly challenge with Connie! This one is the inspiration challenge, and she wants you to use the following picture as your guide! 

I created a card using lots of flowers! No die cuts on this one, as I'm trying to use up my piles and piles of random things! 

I used a die and sentiment from Jaded Blossom. All of the flowers were leftovers from sets I bought from a craft expo one year. The purple tape came from Connie's Crafty Cart.

Monthly Challenge #56 ~ Reduce Reuse Recycle

Its time for another challenge with Connie! Her theme this month is reduce, reuse, recycle. Find anything in your house & reuse it! 

I used an old jam jar for mine for this project. We get the yummiest jam from our local farmers market and the jars are great! I can't throw them out!

I used a bear bunny image from the silhouette store and put some stickles on him for a little extra sparkle. my rumple ribbon bow on the top and Jaded Blossom to the rescue for my stamp sentiment and die. I wanted to fill the jar with jelly beans, and I went out 3 times for them and kept forgetting! So, I filled my beary bunny with gummy bears! (which are my favorite anyway!) 

I can't wait to see what you all create! This is such a fun challenge with all the endless possibilities!

You can create a project using a snowman, snow, or snowflake. You can create anything you wish with one (or all!) or those images! I can't wait to see what you did!! 

Here is my project for this challenge. We have an awesome sponsor, Bugaboo Stamps, so I used one of their digital images! 

I uploaded the png file into design space, and used the print/cut feature. I love how precise that machine is!!! I used a variety of markers (CTMH, Zig & LePlume), and popped him with some pop dots for added dimension. The green polka dot paper and the blue shimmer paper is from my scrap stash. And then I added some ctmh sequins to it. The inside has a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Winter Wishes set.
