cuttlebug color challenge

the challenge this week over on the cuttlebug site is to use color with your embossed image. I used a brass rose stencil ran it thru my cuttlebug and then use various markers to color in the emboss image.  I also use a side border to make it a cute anniversary or wedding card.  Hope you enjoy this card and that inspires you to add some color to your embossed images.

a lot of fun doing it.

imagine layout

This layout turned out pretty cute i took my inspiration from a new product that ctmh has come out with.  They are called workshops and you can purchase the cutting instructions for 1.00 to one of the neat layouts that is featured in there new catalog.  I used the notebook layout the right side to get the inspiration for this cute layout.  I hope you enjoy.  I used my cricut and design studio to create the welded title of imagine at the bottom.  The cart used is teardrop.  Any comments are always appreciated.

The challenge this week is to sand you embossed image from your cuttlebug. I choose to use the spider web embossing folder.  I used dcwv white core paper and i cut the spider from paper dolls and the stamp is a studio g dollar one from michaels.  Pretty simple but nice effect.  

Fall Fun

I was inspired by this neat blog yesterday http://www.Ashrv81.blogspot.com/.

She does really neat layouts for ebay and i was inspired by her fall fun layout.

I had fun using the papdolls cartridge and cut out a cute frog that i had downloaded

from another blog which is http://susanbluerobot.blogspot.com/. You can find the frog

on one of her animal cards. The pictures are from a friend i met on the creatingkeepsakes

hope my layout inspires you to get a jump start on your fall pages. Without further ado
