I must say this was a tad difficult for me since I'm typically a very colorful person. I just received my CTMH Cricut Artiste cart so I thought I'd see what I could come up. I found this cute 3D box and thought what a cute idea for a wedding favor. So I cut the box, the design for the top, the flower and Mr & Mrs all from textured white cardstock. I used a little white pearlized Smooch on all elements except the box itself. I added some cute pins I had in my stash and thought it looked pretty good for being all white. I know if I can do so can you so jump on over to My Sheri Crafts and check out what the Design Team has created and submit your project.

My Sheri CRAFTS - Challenge #81 Spring Pastels

According to the calendar Spring won't be here until next month. I don't know where you live, but here in Missouri we've had 80 degree weather all week. It was really easy to come up with a card for this challenge. We would love for you to create an Easter card or project using the gorgeous pastel colors of Spring!

Now, I have a bit of trouble using pastel colors so I tried several different color combinations on my card before I was happy. I also used several different embossing folders, but it was easy for me to pick the image I wanted to use. I just love this image from The Stamping Boutique "Boy Rabbit in Egg." I colored the image with my Copics and then triple mounted. I think adding the black helped. I used some white baker's twine and colored it with the same markers I used on my image and added a little bling. All papers and bellies are CTMH. Hope you enjoy this little cutie. So jump on over to My Sheri Crafts and check out what the Design Team has created and submit your project. You could be our next guest designer!

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge #75 and DT Call

The challenge this time at Penny's Paper-Crafty is a Recipe - 3 buttons, 2 DP, and 1 ribbon. We are once again lucky enough to have two wonderful sponsors. One lucky random person will win 3 digis of their choice from Some Odd Girl and another will win 5 digital stamps from Robyn's Fetish. I used Robyn's Cross and Flowers and colored with my Copics. I used some button brads for centers of my flowers and added a touch of ribbon. All papers and embellishments are CTMH.

Now head on over to get some inspiration from my fellow DT members and make sure to give them some "love" while you're there. AND if you're looking for a fun gig, we're holding a DT call with this challenge. This is a very well run DT and I really enjoy being part of this fabulous team. Happy crafting!!
