Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #6

This week at Celebrate the Occasion, the challenge is to make a thank you with a tag somewhere on the project. I saw this arched gate leading to a beautiful garden in a local park and I thought, that would make a fun card shape! Yes, I know, I get inspiration from the most random places! :) So that's how the "gate" leads to the pretty flowers on my card. I used stamp pads and a water pen to color in the leaves and flower pot. I'd like to experiment more with this type of shading and coloring, so I thought I'd start small. :)

I used Liquid Glass from Close to My Heart to make the flowers pop just a little bit, and it really intensified the color too.

Challenges:
Playdate Cafe - use pink, purple and yellow

Make sure you join us this week at Celebrate the Occasion for this fun challenge! All you need to do is create a card, layout or project and post it by Sunday, March 27th, 11:59pm (EST). The winner will be selected and entered into their monthly drawing. March's prize will be the "ROCK PRINCESS" cricut cartridge!

Hope everyone is having an awesome day!

Fast Baby Card using My Minds Eye

Hi Peeps! For this weeks Design Team Challenge at Celebrate the Occasion it is a new arrival. I chose to do a sweet and simple baby card for my friends baby boy. Don't you love little sweet baby toes and hands? I have had 4 kids, one boy and three girls and I still can't get enough of newborn babies. Does anyone have one I can hold????

Go and enter your new arrival (pets count too) project to Celebrate the Occasion Challenge blog and you could be entered to win the monthly giveaway. Remember, you do not have to use the cricut for this challenge blog- so if you are on a Provo Craft strike because of the Make the Cut fiasco- this challenge is for you :)

Here is the link to the video of the card I made, which my ten year old helped me film. Um.... I will be practicing with her first next time, LOL!!

Until then stay tuned for more projects from Rayna and myself. Happy crafting!

(PS I want you to note that I only have ONE photo up here instead of a thousand like I normally do. I am having withdrawals- this may not last. )
