My Choice at The Cutting Cafe

Hi, everybody!  So glad you stopped by...   The DT picked a set of their choice for the inspiration that will be posted on Wednesday at The Cutting Cafe.  My choice is Fun With Dress Forms Set.  This set has several cute sentiments, dress form shapes and a dress form card. 

This card might be a little busy, but.... it makes me smile!  So, I decided to leave it all on there.   It has lots of the things I love:  ribbon, pretty paper, fabric, buttons, cute accessories. 

Join me on Wednesday at The Cutting Cafe blog - we can check out which sets the other DT members chose for their projects.  You might also go by on Monday, because Regina usually posts a great sale.  See you there!

Cosmo 2 for Art With No Boundaries

It's the second week of the Summer Skies challenge at Art With No Boundaries.  Meet Cosmo 2 all in blue floating in the summer sky. 

This time instead of embroidering her hair I embroidered the stars. 

The lovely Cosmo was created by Chris and is available at CS Designs.   The cool thing about the challenge at Art With No Boundaries is that you don't have to go for the bonus round which is Summer Skies, you can join us for Anything Goes as well.  Talk about easy!  I would love to see you there.  While you're linking up your creation you can take a look at the other wonderful projects featuring Cosmo.   Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

Flippin' Awesome at The Cutting Cafe

This week it's all about flip flops at The Cutting Cafe.  On Wednesday, Regina will be posting creations using her flip flop files.  I created my card using the flip flop shaped card.

I actually cut the card apart and created two flip flops and glued them together.   Then I used a single flip flop and adhered it to the left one so I would have a card that opened.  I also used the ladybug shaped card  (sized at 30%) for the flip flop adornment. 

I took this picture to try to show the dimension and texture.  I have to say I would totally wear these!  I seem to live in flip flops in the summer - especially around the house.  Having some black and white ones with ladybugs would make me smile every time I put them on!

New Challenges at AWNB & Recycle, RePurpose & ReInvent

Hi, everyone!  Are you experiencing the heat wave?  If so, I hope you're managing to stay cool!

The new challenge at Art With No Boundaries is Anything Goes and the bonus round is Summer Skies.   

The new Cosmo image from CS Designs is beautiful!   I colored her with Copics and then embroidered her hair with metallic gold thread. 

In my mind, Cosmo became the keeper of constellations.   I remembered these extremely cool constellation cards that I've had forever - the originals are from 1825.  I sewed up a pocket from vintage ledger paper and created some bookmarks to pop inside.

I used four of the constellation cards to create the bookmarks.  I based the color of Cosmo's hair on the lions and the Pegasus.  

Now on to Recycle, Re-Purpose and Re-Invent.   This challenge is also Anything Goes as long as you recycle something.  

Everything on my card below is created with or stamped on old tractor feed invoices from my office that we no longer use.  I've created all kinds of things with these to decorate for our Christmas lunch at work:  Christmas trees, snowflakes, ornaments...

And now a card! 

This cutie is Priscilla and she is also created by Chris at CS Designs.  Be sure to check both blogs for wonderful creations by the DT.  I hope you join us for both challenges -  I would love to see your creations!
