M.A.G. Challenge by the Page # 24




Hi everyone,
Welcome to M.A.G. Challenge by the Page #24!! This week we are to create a project using the From My Kitchen cartridge page 53, remember we can only use the images on this page! I chose the bottom layer of the mitten, used it as the main border and added a punch through each scallop, it is cut at 11.30. I had to raid my sticker stash on this one, since Spring is in the air, I thought it was just perfect for the season. I embossed my white paper for texture, used Joy's All Around Sentiment stamps, added ribbon and a button to complete my card.

I hope you have enjoyed my project, now it's time to create yours,  link it  to MAG Challenge and please invite a friend to join in on the fun!!

Design Team Thursday!




Hi everyone,

If you are looking for the Easter Bunny Blog Hop you click here!

Today's card is inspired by "Friends make life SWEET" from Joy's Yummy Pun Stamps. I knew I wanted a girlie theme this week and I had recently purchased DCWV "the all about GIRLS stack" of paper... I just LOVE IT! I thought I would do an S or Z fold card today. The card base is made using the gypsy, I measured it at 4.25 x 10.50. I then chose the shadow feature boots from the Forever Young cartridge cut at 5.38 and they are welded to the card base so now it measures 4.25 x 11.0. All the rest of my designs are from The DCWV GIRLS paper stack! I added some hemp and ribbon to complete my card, I just love it!

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a blessed day!
