Wednesday Scrap Challenge & A Freebie SVG!

Today is Scrap Challenge Wednesday over at Scrappily Ever After! I just love this challenge - my scraps box is overflowing, and I am SO BAD about referring to it for creations! This forces me to really try (and try, I do for sure!) to thin out that pile!
For today's challenge, I made this card

I used Cely's Lattice Card SVG file. Check her out at Creating in Carolina. She's awesome-ly funny, wonderfully creative, and very, very talented!! I used the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirls embossing folder, too.

I recently took a trip to Joann, when they were having a sale on the punches, and I used my two new label punches for the sentiment. The flowers are punched from an EK Success Hand Punch that I've had "forever". I used some Stickles for the centers, and it is much more glittery than my pic makes it out to be - I promise! :)

On another note: I'm still working on clothing for the bear doll I posted on Monday. Today, a girly-girl dressy-dress! (Sorry - no pic for this one except the black & white line art. I've been too busy packing boxes to be able to cut anything in time for a morning posting! If I can make it to the cutter at some point today, I'll post a photo, but until then, this will have to do).

The last school themed Wednesday Scrap Challenge

Today is the final Scrap Challenge for August. But no worries....there are more challenges planned on Melanie's Blog for September, so hop on over!

This card front is shaped around the apple, so the confetti cream card stock you see on the far right is actually the inside of the card. I used my SCAL to trace a Meljen's Digi-Stamp to create the card base, and then I also cut out the apple part of her image (so the red apple is actually a layer on top of the original printed, colored image).
I made the ruler with a scrap piece of yellow paper, some sponging, and a colored pencil for the lines and numbering. The scalloped shapes were cut with some hand-punches, and I added a couple of CTMH Chocolate brads to define the edge of the card front. The digi stamp is colored with my Prisma Pencils.

Back to School - Wednesday Scrap Challenge

Today is the day for another Scrappily Ever After Wednesday Scrap Challenge, and this month's theme is "Back to School"!

I recently discovered Create with TLC, and Paulette has a ton of fun on her blog! She is a creating force that is unmatched! I downloaded some of her freebie school images, combined them with my PSE, and made this card with them. I found the wonderful Aristotle quote, and I used the Monika font and the Old Script font to create the sentiment with it. 

Some scrap papers I had are not really the traditional, fall "back to school" colors, but I like that it's different! What do you think?

"Thank You!" to the teachers! Scrap Challenge Wednesday & Freebie DigiPaper

Today is a Scrap Challenge Wednesday at Scrappily Ever After, and the them this month is "Back To School", so I created this thank you card for the teacher! I don't think we pay teachers nearly enough money for the amount of time that we entrust them with our #1 assets - our children!

I used SVGCuts.com "Back To School" Digicart to make the apple, and then I hand wrote "Thank You" on it in a platinum gel pen. (Tough to see with the photo). The image is a digi-stamp that I purchased from Bugaboo Stamps, awwwwww, lovin' the stuff from them!!!

All the paper is from my scrap pile, including the card base, and the white that I used to print the image on (go me! lol!)

Thanks for stopping by! If you like my card, please leave me some love!

I put together a cute-sy digi-paper for today's freebie. I found this adorable little teddy bear, and I think he would be so cute on a kindergartners scrap page!

You can download him HERE

Back to School - Wednesday Scrap Challenge

Today is the day for another Scrap Challenge over at Scrappily Ever After, and the theme this month is "Back To School". I had this adorable Dustin Pike Image, from Season of Dragons, so I printed him up to color him in. I love Dustin's Dragons, and this one brings back memories of lugging around a heavy backpack every day! You see, all of us were "little" at one point, but I was always the "littlest"!
Anyhow, this was a simple card to make - some oval cuts, coloring and embossing with a CB folder. Hope you like!

A Summer Dragon Flower for You! - Scrap Challenge Wednesday

Melanie, at Scrappily Ever After, hosts a Scrap Challenge every Wednesday. She's doing a great job of kicking my butt into gear for creating cards for Operation Write Home to send to the troops! This is my submission to the team of gals she put together to help inspire others to create with just their scrap pile papers! This card was put together with only scrap paper!

Scrap challenge cards can include scrap papers and any embellishes from previously opened packages (for ribbon, it should come from a roll you've already cut from). 

Today, I made a card using a Dustin Pike Image. It's from his Dragon For All Seasons Collection of digi-stamps. (We LOVE dragons at our house, don't you?!). I used an EK Success border punch and did some sponging on the edges. The image is colored with my Prisma Colored Pencils. If you take a peek at my Labels list (right column of the blog), you can see I have several posts with a Dragon label. So....if you like dragons, too, please check out my other posts, and leave me a comment to let me know what you think of my dragons! :)

Since our Inspiration Team has been working on the Christmas in July theme for the photo challenges that we post for on Friday's, I decided to keep using the papers I had already cut for another of my creations. Because the challenge for this is to use scraps, I'm not going to be posting a material list for these cards. I can't always remember where the papers came from. I do not organize my scraps, other than throwing them all in one box. Do you? How do you organize them? By color? Brand of paper? Theme? Leave a comment and share your ideas! :)

Scrap Challenge Wednesday

Melanie, at Scrappily Ever After, hosts a Scrap Challenge every Wednesday. This is my submission for inspiring others to create with just their scrap pile papers! This card was put together with only scrap paper! This is the first time I've ever done a scrap challenge, so I didn't add any extra embellishes (ribbons, brads, etc). I've asked my hostess if they're okay to use, and if they are, I'll consider using that kind of stuff on my next scrap challenge card!
Hope you like!
