challenge card

What a beautiful but cold February morning here is Michigan.  It snowed a lot overnight and the trees and lawn are covered with that pretty white stuff.  I don't think I will be venturing outside today though.  :)  Perfect day for crafting.  Any day is a good day to craft.

This morning I colored this digi by Sherri Baldy from her Besties collection.  It's one in her Easter series.  Come check out her besties here: http://scrapbookstampsociety.com/categories.php?category=Besties-TM&parent_id=2022

the cutting challenge at: http://craftuscrazy.blogspot.com/  I used my Cricut to cut the oval around the digi stamp.  I used a cuttlebug to emboss my paper, and Martha Stewart punch on the edge.

Beautiful Echo Park- For the Record paper

 I used the gorgeous paper from Echo Park, For The Record.  You can find this paper here: http://stores.ebay.com/Paper-Patch-Crafts?_rdc=1 http://stores.ebay.com/Paper-Patch-Crafts?_rdc=1

I'm all about fast and easy when it comes to making cards, but I want beautiful cards at the same time.  That is so easy to do with this paper from Echo Park.  I just love how these turned out.

Chapstick purse/case

Thanks for stopping by today.  I made a chapstick purse.  It was so simple to make.   I fell in love with this Renew Line of paper, isn't it pretty?  I added a feather, and some silver string to complete it.
