Cuttlebug Challenge Christmas tag

As soon as I saw this challenge at the Cuttlebug Challenges - I immediately made these for a gift for my SIL and BIL as a thank you for having us over for a small cookout.
They were simple to make - base is 2 x 3 and accent layers. I did not tear my corrugation as it was thick. I embossed the SU tree with Jeweled Gold Stamp N Stuff by Stampendous

I made 14 of these - here are a couple shown. The To and From are stamped on red cs on the back - I did not take a pic before I gave them away.

Graduation Card - using Wild Card

Well - I'll be leaving in an hour and Wild Card cart to the rescue
Quick and easy.
Keep in mind this cuts small!!!
Set it at 5" and the sentiment at 1 1/2". I inked all to give more definition and added a brad to hold the tassel in place.

My candy from Scrappy Frog

You may have remembered a few days ago I mentioned I won at Scrappy Frog.
Here is what I won. Love the chip board and ribbon. The stamp is not one I have so it may be quite useful on sympathy cards.

thanks Mindy!

CD Altered mini album

I am going to a graduation party today and made another CD mini album for the young lady. (have to make her a card and a gift card pouch)
I am really pleased with this one! The base is 4 used CD's that I covered. Here are all the "pages" and elements.
The cover is inked and a glossy title adhered, flowers and bling add to the less is more. The binder ring is tied with multiple ribbons, fibers and yarn. I added glass beads and a metal heart charm (click pic to see a better view)
Page 2 was embossed with stripes and dots embossing folder and inked. The pocket was a circle cut in half and inked. The loop punch is from MS. Folder tag so there are more spaces for pics and writing. Topped it off with a MS flower.
Page 3 inked and a glossy accent raised on foam so insertion of a photo can occur.
Page 4 background embossed with CB stars folder and inked. Photo tag is a double for multiple photos or journaling. Border punch is a MS star punch.
Page 5 the name plate - inked and raised on foam so the photo mat can be removed for photo addition. All elements inked
Page 6 background embossed with CB dots folder and inked. Poket cut with a border punch and photo insert is a 2 1/2 x 7 inche coordinating paper folder in half so there are multpiple places for photos or hidden journaling
Page 7 the pocket cut with border punch and inked. The photo insert inked and added a trip of the border punch as well
Back page - embossed with CB stylyzed embossing folder and inked with brown color box ink

Cuddle Anya

I got my order today from Die Cuts R Us and I only ordered it two days ago!
I am a lover of teddy bears so I had to have her. She is a large deep etched rubber stamp absolutely wonderful.
So I just had to follow the sketch brought forth to us from A Crafty Little Place!
I used the swirl stamp for the back ground and the inside from SU!. The card stock is from DCWV Old world.The Ribbon is also SU! The pearls were also in my order today and they are from Prima the new E Line. (On sale now!!! So I got two colors - wish I got more) I also used the challenge of stamp away at Polka Doodles

Momo's Girly Affair

I recently (Saturday) bought Summer in Paris at M's for 15.00! So when Momo came up with this challenge - I took a look at the cuts on this cart. I tried to follow as close as I could to the layout sketch at Mojo Mondays
I tried the shoe but then tried the perfume bottle so I cut it at 2 1/2 inches on some awesome glittered textured card stock then layered it on black.
I punch the line border using a SU punch. The perfume bottle is raised on foam squares.
The color brown challenge at TPE added to the mystique with the black I think.
Inked using my brown Colorbok cats eye and layered the inside as well.
