The Cuttlebug Spot - Challenge 42

Happy Monday~ Today at The Cuttlebug Spot we're using our favorite new folder. Provo Craft was kind enough to send us some new folders to play with. I am very happy to show you Moroccan Screen today for my little Thinking of You card! I love this folder. I think it could easily be used for any type of card, both feminine or masculine. My stamp image is Tilda Picking Lilacs on K&Co: Amy Butler~Lucky Flowers paper (I adore her fabric... I am in real trouble now that she's makin' paper too!). I sanded the paper lightly to show the white core on Thinking of You.

Enjoy your week! Beeeeee sure to stop by and see all the beautiful DT work this week. You will surely want to play along with us also using YOUR favorite folder... old or new... we have a very special prize for one lucky crafter.

The Cuttlebug Spot ~ Challenge 20

This week marks the final week of our "B's" at The Cuttlebug Spot... this time B is for bows. Any kind of bow you'd like can be made or used. For me, this was a real challenge. I have never ranked high in my bow making, often taking several hundred tries to finally get one perfect in my eye! Maybe not hundreds, but a lot that's for sure! This card was created using my "Simple Bows" tool / template. I will admit I flunked using this at first but I think I have it down now. My card is a simple Thinking of You, but you must stop by The Cuttlebug Spot to see the other DT projects! I am blown away by their creativity. I know I am inspired and am sure you will as well.

The Cuttlebug Spot ~ Challenge 18

We've got some fun things in the works at The Cuttlebug Spot! Our next 3 projects will begin with the letter B... this week we are using all the Bling we can get into our projects! Add your glitter, rhinestones, fancy papers... anything that you have in your stash to add a little bling is great! Stop by and check out the other design team cards. Show us your creation too!

I have a friend that fills the room with light nearly every time she enters. She is always looking at the sunshine to forget the rain, always willing to hear your stories and leave you feeing more encouraged then when you arrived. She just had surgery and I've been thinking of a card to make her... well, this challenge proved to be the 'it' idea I needed. With the help of cricuts Tinkerbell and Friends I will fill her mailbox with a 'Ray of Sunshine' to brighten her spirits, as she does so often for me.

Standard A2 sized card, cut at angles on card front for fun, and scallped on back to bring it all together. I am really intested in stepping outside the box so to speak with card design right now. By simply cutting it a bit here, hiding things there... it is so fun to see what you can come up with.
