Challenge:   Use 3 punches
September 17 - 23rd, 2013

 I am soooo excited to share with you this card today. This was my very ever first card I have colored with alcohol markers. I had a blast coloring this image. My friend Kim helped me with my first experience and gave hints and tips along the way. Well she got me hooked!! I cannot wait to begin sharing with you my creations colored with my brand new alcohol markers.

So here is my card! The inside of my card has a little slit for a gift card.


 I also created a second card...I have been watching about a million YouTube videos lately and I saw this technique called the bandana technique. So I tested it out. Each card followed the challenge and used 3 punches.

                                                                Inside of card.

Please make sure your creation post has a link back to Cuttin' and Stampin'.  And make sure to check out all of the other inspirations this week.

 I have an adorable banner for you today from the Cuttin' side of Cuttin' and Stampin'.

I created this banner for my grandson's recent Toy Story themed birthday party. I used the Toy Story Cricut Cartridge. My daughter gave me ideas for what she wanted. I was very pleased with how it turned out. Can't wait to see what banners all of you have to show us this week.

Challenge:   Football or Winter Sports
August 27 - September 2nd, 2013

 Don't you all just love football season. I do, but not for the reason many of you may think...well I have this relationship with sporting events...people ask me who do I pull for and such with baseball, football (both NFL and college)...well this is my answer to them..."I pull for the teams where there is a little one, guy or gal, with Russell blood running through their veins out on that field." So, this coming Saturday is the first football game of the season and I will be out there routing for this little guy in the picture. This is his 5th year playing football...he has grown so much from a little 5 year old that cried everytime he went to practice to a young boy that absolutely LOVES the sport.

 My layout is from his very first year playing. I love how handsome he looks in his uniform...and I cannot wait to yell..."GO, STORM!" on Saturday morning!!!



Make sure you head to Cuttin' and Stampin' to see all the other projects this week and also enter our challenge!

Challenge:   Prima Doll Challenge 
August 6 - 12th, 2013

Prima Doll Stamps created by Julie Nutting are all the rage right now.  There where five new stamps just release last month and a little set of angelic wings and whimsical boarders.  So this weeks challenge is to create something using the Prima Doll Stamps. 

 I wanted to get in on this challenge however, I am going to tell you right up front...I flunked coloring in both Pre-K and Kindergarten...and it didn't get much better from there! But, I love these doll stamps and wanted to try my hand at them. A friend stamped hers for me so I could be in on this challenge. 

 Well, here is how things went! First let me tell you I have all the coloring tools a gal who doesn't color well could want....colored pencils! Two kinds to be exact! Stampin Up markers...the entire collection mind you! Bic markers, and even some Close to My Heart markers. In that entire collection of markers not one...no not one marker that was exactly the right color for flesh! 

 I started out with a pale flesh colored pencil...not exactly right, so then I tried to correct it with various other colors on her legs...well that did not go very well so she is wearing tights! And not exactly the right color I may add to go with her outfit. But remember how I said a friend stamped it for me? Well you got it...she only stamped 1! 

 Anyhow, I was kind of pleased with the rest of the coloring...flesh color is still a little off but overall pleased. She is going to go in a scrapbooking paper collection called "Sisters" from Echo Park. It is a present for my sister later this year when I get to go visit her for 2 weeks when she moves into her brand new house. I get to design, set up, and decorate her scrapbook room. So excited about that!!



Hope you enjoy all the creations this week. Make sure to check out Cuttin' and Stampin'  for all your inspiration.

You can purchase your Prima Doll Stamps from Teresa at Scrapping For Less.
