One Scrap at a Time

This week at The Cutting Cafe we got to play with Dress Forms and asked to do them in shades of green in honor of St. Patrick's Day.... I have had these papers for a very long time in my 'stash' and thought it would be perfect for this project....... I so love how it turned out!!! This set comes with 2 Shaped Cards, 12 Sentiments and 28 assorted images all for $4.25. ~Tee

This week for The Cutting Cafe I made this LUCKY in Love with you banner for my project. I started by printing my own scrapbooking paper using the Lucky Background Printable Stamp and 4 Leaf Clover Colored Background Set . I then cut out the letters LUCKY out of the Lucky Word Shaped Card and printed the tag Lucky in Love with you. I hung my banner on the door leading to my bedroom to make SURE my hubby saw it and knew it was for him. You can get all these files very affordably  at The Cutting Cafe . Eeeeekkk - don't you just love it? ~~Tee

This month over at the Scrappy Frogs Challenge Blog the Design Team was challenged to do something green in honor of St. Patrick's Day. This is what I came up with but really did it to 'double dip'. I also used this card as one of my three entries to a new Design Team (which I will remain nameless until I hear if I made the team). For this project I used a free SVG I found over at Scrappy Girl and the digital stamp is from The Cutting Cafe. Tee

 So, I decided to break open my Copic pens that I have had forever and never really used. I began by printing some amazing digital stamps from The Cutting Cafe called Easter Fun ..... Then I created a shaped card out of it using MTC.... I realized after about an hour of playing that boy do I need more practice with my copic pens but I do like the end result. ~Tee

Hi Everyone and Happy Monday - I needed to do a project for my LSS to each this Wednesday and decided to do this cute cupcake holder from the Sweet Tooth Cricut Catridge. I have seen so many of these on Pintrest and other websites and have been wanting to do one of my own. I cut my box at 9" and added some ribbon around the rim. I then put the top in my bigshot with a cuttlebug embossing folder - added some flowers to the top cut from Flower Shoppe then finished it off with a tag from The Cutting Cafe cut with Mini Monogram. Wow, I used three cartridges on this project. I think that is a record for me. Hope you like my box and if you are local come on over to Hearts-n-Crafts on Wednesday, Feb 20th and make one of your own. ~Tee

Who doesn't want to be treated as a Queen for their birthday? I made this card to give to my BFF for her upcoming birthday using the Postage Stamp Shaped ($1.50) Card template and Assorted Crowns ($3.50) by The Cutting Cafe. I really love how this turned out and how quick and easy it was to make using Regina's files. ~Tee

Every little girl needs a onesie that is totally stylin, right? I had so much fun laying with the Onesie Shaped card  from The Cutting Cafe, so many possibilities. I had some left over zebra paper and ribbon that I bought ages ago and knew what my Onesie would look like - I wonder if this comes in my size?

Hi Everyone, Happy Wednesday. This week at The Cutting Cafe I got to play with the Heart Lace Shaped Card. I love that Regina is now offering her new files in MTC format - makes it so much easier to just lick on the file and my MTC opens and it is ready to cut!!! Love you Regina!! After I opened the file in MTC I choose to blackout the hearts and cut my card solid using the new Valentine line from Authentic (love their papers). I then added a pearl flourish,some ribbon and a flower I made using my Cricut and Flower Shoppe with a little bit of Star Dust stickles, Threw in a couple hat pins and use the Dear Valentine that was at the bottom of the paper. Hope you love it as much as I do. You can get this file by going " here " for only $1.99

I love Valentines projects, just can't get enough of them. This week was a "free" week at the The Cutting Cafe, we could choose ANY project we wanted... Oh decisions, decisions - how do you narrow the list down when there are so many AMAZing files to choose from.... So, I thought I would do a birthday project, I started playing with the Party Hat Shaped Card and next thing I new I had this cute hanging Valentine pendant. It was totally not my fault, I so intended it to be a Birthday project... *shrug* Amazing how versatile her files are Hope you love it!!!  You can get the Party Hat Shaped Card for $4.25 - a very affordable price. ~Tee

I added stickles, pearls and a foam snowflake.. Love these shaped files, you can whip together a card in 15 mins! The best part about it is the file is only .99. ~Tee

 Ok, so I am a bonehead!
