FIF Challenge # 8 - Give A Hoot

Hey All My Crafty Friends

Well it's time for another challenge over at FLAUNT IT FRIDAYS.

For this week the design team was asked to use the BEAR and TRASH CAN cut ( page 61) from the Give A Hoot cartridge.  I will say I had to literally knock the dust off this cartridge to use it... lol

I think we all get so many cartridge in our collection that we forget about some of the older cartridges...(They need our LOVE too !! ) :0)

So on to my project .... I wasnt really quite sure what I wanted to do with this cut for several days.. I pondered a card, a tag or maybe even an altered item...but nothing really sparked my creative juices...

Then I went into my youngest daughters room.... TORNADO ALLEY !!! I was truly shocked to see the mess... Let's just say I was fit to be tied... But on a positive note... I knew what to do with cut...

So here is what I made with this cut ... A simple reminder that I can just hang on the door to remind my daughter that she need to CLEAN HER ROOM !!! :0)

Clean UR Room Door Hanger



Close - Up of Bear

( I used black brads for his eyes)

Project Recipe :

Give A Hoot Catridge Page 61 Bear and Trash Can cut @ 3 inches

Locker Talk cartridge Door Hanger Page 68 cut @ 10 1/2 inches

I used Recycled Cereal Boxes to cut the Door Hanger cut 3 times

Then I used Black Coordination Cardstock to cover the front in back

Coordination Cardstock - Magenta Layer key ( cover front & back )

Black Brads for the Bear Eyes

Random Rhinstones (various sizes)

Black Letter Stickers (Stickabilities) 1 1/4 GUTS - Hobby Lobby

Well I think that is it for me today... I hope you have enjoyed my project  I think it turned out FLAUNTABULOUS !!!! So hop on over to Flaunt It Fridays and join in on all the fun...

Digital Delights by Louby Loo Bonnie

Hey All My Crafty Friends

Well here is my first project for DDLL as a design team member.  I used the cute little digi named BONNIE to make the sweetest little birthday card ever.... Isn't she just the cutest.. The card went together in a flash.. From start to finish the card only took me about 20 minutes to totally complete.  That's one of my favorite things about DDLL stamps, they are all so cute the possiblities are endless... The hardest part is figuring out what papers to use..

Sweet Little Bonnie

wishing someone a HAPPY BIRTHDAY :0)

I also added a few butterflies (Martha Stewart) and bent them in the middle to give a 3D effect

And you know me we had to have some BLING !! (Flower Centers)

I colored Bonnie with Copic Markers (still learning the technique but getting better!!) :0)

And the pattered paper is from the DCWV Spring Stack (2010)

Happy Birthday Sentiment is also from DDLL

White Card Base cut @ 5 1/4 x 5 1/4

Pink Mat cut @ 5 x 5

Pattern Paper cut @ 4 3/4 x 4 3/4

So I think I did pretty good for my first DT project and can't wait to do the next one...DDLL stamps are so addictive the possibilities are truly endless...

So jump on over to DIGITAL DELIGHTS and pick up some of these wonderful digi stamps.

Until Next Time
