Pearly Sparkles July Challenge ~ Favorite Time of Year

Hi Crafty Friends,
Welcome to our July Challenge at Pearly Sparkles.
We're asking to create something that represents your favorite time of year.I love when spring arrives, so fresh and new and not yet too hot!
For this challenge I made a Welcome to your new Home card for my daughter to leave for the sweet family that purchased her home.

The stamps and die cuts are all from LaLa Land Crafts, part of the spring box set but available separately on the website.  The layout and coloring was inspired by the design team samples.The card size is A7.  I used Copic Markers for coloring and cut all the dies using my Gemini Jr.
I hope you'll play along with us this month.  Just add your card to the link above.

Cut it Up Challenge #203 ~ Celebrate Summer

Hi Crafty Friends,

Summer is here and the weather in northern California is definitely a testament to the season!

For our Cut it Up Challenge we are celebrating summer using some fun COLORS:

turquoise, yellow, hot pink, coral.  Let's see what you've got using any or all of these happy summer colors.

Here's my project using a cute svg POCKET file from our sponor,

The Cutting Cafe.

How cute is this?  I added stitching and this little duckling using LaLa Land Crafts clear stamps, You Lucky Duck and A Pocket Full.  I also used Jaded Blossom's Card Mat Dies and Border Dies and made my dimensional dots using Nuvo Crystal Drops.

By the way, if you haven't checked out Regina's files then you are truly missing out. Just a note - if you love PLANNERS, this is the website for you.  She has so many options.  You can create a planner for you exact needs and they're easy to print!

Don't have an electronic cutter?  She also provides PDF files than can be printed and hand-cut.

Thanks for visiting today.  I hope you'll join in the fun.

My Time to Craft #413 ~ New Stash

Hi Crafty Friends,
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. I love Christmas, especially when I get new crafty goodies to play with.
Our My Time to Craft challenge is a great reason to show off your new stash.
I know, I know, this is a Christmas card but I just had to share this amazing Door Die I got from  La-La Land Crafts - so versatile!  Actually, all of the dies used for this card are from LLLC and several were used for the very first time.  Me thinks someone may have more dies than she can use!

So come and join us and show off your NEW STASH!  Just follow the link above.

Hi Crafty Friends, It's another busy Friday with 3 blog posts coming today.  This is #2.
Our challenge at My Time to Craft is MOTHER'S DAY or FEMALE.
I just love all the fabulous products I used to create this card.

The stamp is the Sew Grateful clear stamp from La La Land Crafts.  The oval dies are from Jaded Blossom and all the other dies I used are La La Land Crafts.  This amazing patterned paper is from Authentique - one of my favorite companies. I colored using Copic markers and added some buttons for the final embellishments.
