What Makes You Happy?

This week the Die Cuttin' Divas are asking What Makes You Happy?  I decided to go with one of the things that makes me happiest MY FAMILY and because we love being at Disney I combined the two for this project. Just a simple scrapbook page with  some print and cut fun.
I wanted to go very simple so I decided to use print and cut die cuts for my characters and title. First  i had to change the color on Minnie's bow and dress.  I did this by changing the cut to print and filled it with a polka dot pattern. 
I added some fun washi tapes to just give it a little more detail and the page was all set.
I hope you get a chance  to join us this week at Die Cuttin' Divas. It is also a good idea to think about the things that make you happy.  I hope you get time to do just that and craft with us this week.

Supplies:
- Mickey Font Cricut Cartridge - Oh My
- Mickey and Friends Cricut Cartidge - Pluto and Minnie
- Project Life Honey Edition 12x12 papers

Back to School with Die Cuttin Divas 2018

Yesterday I started my 19th year teaching middle school students.  I guess that means Back 2 School time is in full bloom.  This week at Die Cuttin' Divas our theme for the week is Back to School.  I  took it back a few years to the first day of 5th grade for my daughter.
I started with the papers and the die I wanted to use. I found this great frame cut and enlarged it to fill my page.
I layered everything over the photos and added a simple statement to label it on the side. Another page in her elementary album completed - only a few...okay a lot more to go.

Have a great week - if that means getting ready for Back 2 School enjoy the send off!  Hope you can join us at Die Cuttin' Divas.

Supplies:
- DCWV Dots, Stripes & Plaids paper stack
- Designer's Calendar Cricut Collection - Back 2 School

Birthday Wishes

It is time for a new challenge with Die Cuttin' Divas.This week the theme for the challenge is Birthdays! We want to see you birthday themed projects with die cuts. Our sponsor for the week is Spellbinders and they were nice enough to send the team some dies to work with for this challenge.
I do not often make such elegant cards, but I am very happy with this one. I was sent these elegant 3D vignettes dies to work with.  I really liked the corner pieces so I decided to work with those, but not on the main corners.
I cut the corner pieces and added them around this stamped sentiment. I used my scoring board to make it easier to fold the corners and I liked that they popped up around the card,
I finished off the inside with an extra corner piece as well.
I am happy with the more elegant style of card and found the spellbinders pretty easy to work with. I  hope you will join us in the birthday challenge here at Die Cuttin' Divas this week. Thanks to our awesome sponsor Spellbinders
Supplies:
- Spellbinders Shapeabilities ELEGANT 3D VIGNETTES

Hooray Baby Sketch with Die Cuttin' Divas

Happy Tuesday all! At Die Cuttin' Divas we start each month off with a sketch challenge so here we go.
The fun sketch by Georgina is just right for a simple baby card  I needed to make for a co-worker.  They juts announced they were expecting so it is super exciting.
I found this cute svg file at flaticon under free people icons and thought it was super cute. It was easy to transform in Cricut Design space and change the color of the heart. Once all was cut and placed down I needed just this simple sentiment stamp to finish it off.
I have also been trying to put effort into the inside of my cards - just for fun and to use up all the paper I have laying around.
We have a fun new sketch for you and a great sponsor with Waffle Flower (what a cute name for a shop) so come and join us this week.
Supplies
- Couple with heart svg
- Craft Smart Stamp
