October Sharing with The Creative Crafters

   The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've used a lovely flower as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

Here's something I put together at Paperganza this year. I was busy sitting together with my co-conspirator, Linda, here at Die Cut Divas, and 7 others at our table.  I screwed up the first time putting the pop up piece on the card.  You have to look at how they are attached on the ends so they can actually pop up.  Karen Burniston was fantastic in helping us put together our cards.

Card Chain Challenge for September

I truly couldn't think of what to do from this selection, but as I pasted the options in, I discovered that I 

I just couldn't think of anything but "Friendship" and so I went with a friendship card. This card was not the card I intended to make, but I fell in love with it.  I die cut the larger dies twice so I could glue them together at the top to create a card.  I think the phrase is actually meant for the back of the card, but I thought it was too good not to make a note inside as I figure a card maker would find it funny.

If you can't read it, here's what the sentiment says:
I write
"made with love"
on my cards because "made with cursing

way too much money
and lots of alcohol" 

won't fit on the label.

January Card Chain Challenge Reveal

Card Chain Challenge

Time for the Big Reveal! 

Here are the options I had available to try.

On this card, I had to stick to Friendship for my option.  

I had just used the Hill die and couldn't get it out of my mind, so I just gave in and did a Friendship card and I'm now very much OK with that.   I got the die set from my family for Xmas and this is the first time I've put it together.  I did put together the die set on the inside first (die set does not include the trees, sun, or sentiments). . I had no idea what to put together for the outside, but as I said, I couldn't get the Wavy Hillside out of my mind, so I started with it, then thought I should put the house on the outside with a nice warm sun and that's when I added the cool sun on the inside.
