Hiding the Eggs.... (window and flower box svg)

When I was a little girl, there was something thrilling about sitting in our living room window and then jumping out....totally getting yelled at by my mom.  I graduated to jumping off the roof of our house and swinging in trees like a monkey.  What was I thinking...maybe that's why I have back problems today...lol

Bugaboo Brat - Bunny Girl from Bugaboo Stamps was a perfect choice for  challenge theme, "think pink bunnies", at Cutie Pie challenge.

I used one of my favorite svgs I made a few months back, the open window and window box.  Grass punch, vine and bird are from the Silhouette store.  Scraps of DP, stitching, lace, egg brads, homemade faux brick embossing folder and pop-ups help create the illusion of the little girl sitting in the window.

You can purchase the window and flower box for $1.50.  If comes with 4 different sets of windows, including an arch window with snow.  Email is under "View my complete profile".

Saturday Challenge: Anything Goes

at Catch the Bug

I used Kid Pocket Topper - wavy hair from Bugaboo Stamps.  I made several svg windows the other day. I used the one with the window appearing "opened".  I also made the svg flower border and svg flower box.  Memory Box sells dies like this, but I can't afford to buy them all, so my husband gave me a Bamboo Fun.  I drew up the images and took them into Inkscape and made svgs.  I cut out girl with Silhouette.

I made emboss lines on the window (top and bottom) and the flower box.  All coloring is with copics.  There is a tiny pearl heart on the flower box.

Head over to Catch The Bug and check out other ideas the DT members had for the inspirational photo below.

...and to all a good night! + freebie

       I made this card per request of several followers.  They want a card illustrating each svg I offer.....haha....can't always do that due to time.  I really didn't want to post in hopes I could use it in a future challenge, but I can always change it a little.  This is the same window from yesterday, but I "stretched" it to go horizontal.  I added acetate for window effect, did some inking, my sleigh svg, welded some trees from www.svgcuts.com set called "Winter Bliss". I will offer sleigh tomorrow and reindeers on Saturday. I used pop-ups for dimension on reindeers and trees.  I put the snow on the "inside"of the card since you are suppose to be inside the house looking outside. ( I used my holly svg, a punch for flower, bling for center of flower and glitter pen.) I'm happy!

Addition and CORRECTION to Yesterday's Window

.......I forgot to give you the outline of the window.  The outline must be cut first on your card.  You will have to strategically line up on your Cricut.  (Use white scratch paper to practice.)  The window can be cut out anywhere.  Here is another view below to show the pieces you will get.  I will post again in about an hour a card I did but turning the window horizontal.  I will give you that window freebie svg at that time.

First Snowflake "Frame It Out" + Freebie

      (CORRECTION:  I ACCIDENTALLY POSTED THIS CARD LAST NIGHT THRU A TYPO WITH DATES.  I WAS TRYING TO TYPE IN OCT. 13 AND THE "3" DIDN'T TYPE.  SO, THE POST WENT OUT TO A FEW FOLLOWERS BY MISTAKE!)


 I have enjoyed my purchased images from Paper Cupcakes.  They also post a freebie each Monday. The challenge is to "Frame It Out".  I used a "faux" window (acetate sheet over window) to frame it. You look through to see the snowman en"joy"ing the first snowflake of the year.  The window "svg", I think is from Images by Heather M.

Flower and pot svg from Svgcuts.com, holly punch, metal snowflake, glitter pens, specialty white paper, and sentiment from Stampin' Up.

I had the cutest idea using my Peachy Keens faces with my iron, but I'm "pressed for time" since I'm leaving for the beach this afternoon.....corny but that's me!!!  (If you make the iron too small, then just draw on the steam iron vents.)

Having Some Woof Days?

      I don't always play on words on my cards, but I've done it a lot lately.  I've had a lot of friends and family that could use a little laugh. Except for the Marvy flower punch, I designed all the svg cuts in Inkscape. (dog, window, flower bracket, and flower basket).   I didn't show the inside, but has a pic of dog's drooling tongue. It says "There's nothing better than to end a bad day covered in dog slobber !"  And, that's the truth if you are a dog lover.  (The stamp is by American Art Stamp) All my svgs can be downloaded by clicking the svg listed in the right column under Svg Files.

First Sign of Spring

We all have it...we all want it....the itch and strong desire for Spring. Yup, Mother Nature does tease us many times.  Here is my first daffodil for this year.  It looks a little worse for wear, but this little daffodil was determined to be the first one to bloom...I guess it had something to prove.

Here is a card I made for my super sister-in-law, Dawn!  I was thinking a little Spring at the time.  Open the windows and get that wonderful fresh air.  And, upon looking out the window, I see a fairy sunning!  How cool is that!  The cuts came from several places.  The fairy (Flitting Fairies) and potted plant ( My Happy Garden Hideaway) came from SVGCUTS.com  and the window came from  Images by Heather M.  And, inspiration by ScrappingButtterflyMom
