Superhero Girl to the Rescue...

It's my turn to post over at the Craftin Desert Divas Blog and I have a card to share using Little Super Star!

The card is standard size and I used the Banner Dies to add the stitching along my sentiment banner...my new favorite thing to do! I had the star cut-out lying around from another project I did...great way to use up all those scraps!
---------------------------------------------------
I attached my little super hero to a big brad so she could move back and forth...because we all know super heroes are constantly in action...lol

Here's a look at what I used to create this card...

Christmas in July - mini album...

Welcome to another week of Decorate to Celebrate anything goes challenges!

I've been working on some Christmas in July items so I thought I would make this tiny (measure 3x6 when open) mini album! I'm a firm believer that grandparents LOVE photos of their grandchildren...well, all family members do for that matter!

I used the NEW Owl-idays stamp set from Craftin Desert Divas (available Friday) and some retired CTMH paper.

---------------------------------------
 The photo on the left was made with my Rhonna Designs app and printed...LOVE being able to print my decorated photos! I left the right side blank so I could journal or add another embellishment or sentiment!

-----------------------------------------------
I used the NEW OWL-idays stamp set (available Friday) from Craftin Desert Divas...isn't that owl the CUTEST!!! The sequins are also part of some NEW packets that will be release Friday!
----------------------------------------------
The photo on the left was printed from my Instagram Photos and the one of the right was using my Rhonna Designs app...

----------------------------------------------
Photo on the right was the out-takes from our "photo shoot"...used RD again. The page on the right is a flip flap from CTMH (tiny little thing)...filled it with sequins from the Craft Desert Divas Release...
------------------------------------------------
Here's a peek underneath the flip flap...another picture of the kids at the Christmas Tree Farm!. The wooden camera is from Frosted Designs!

Please head over to the DTC Blog and check out all the other projects! Also...PLEASE consider playing along with our anything goes challenge! You can make anything you want...we ask that if you make a card, make it with a special fold or 3D or something!

Sun-Kissed Day Dreamer...

It's time for another Frosted Designs Friday Challenge!!!

This week's challenge is "Here Comes The Sun"...I decided to go a little off the wall with my card. This girl reminds me of a sun-kissed day dreamer...

---------------------------------------------
I used one of my Gossamer Blue Kits for the paper...my ShinHan Markers to color my girl and some ribbon, jute, flower & stamp from CTMH.


I hope you'll stop by the Frosted Designs Blog and check out all the other "Here Comes the Sun" projects...I know you'll be inspired by the AWESOME Design Team and their artwork!
