Use It Tuesday #48--Warm It Up

Hi everyone!

Are you guys ready for another great Use It Tuesday challenge?

If you are anything like me, you have a bunch of stuff that has been bought and forgotten about.

Use It Tuesday is a challenge blog that encourages you to use all those hoarded supplies.

For challenge #48, you are being challenged to 

Warm It Up!

Use red, orange and/or yellow.

Here is the card that I created for the challenge:

Let me tell you about some of my hoarded supplies that I used on my project. 

I cut my flip flops out of my Car Decals cricut cartridge at 3". 

I have had that cartridge for well over a year and have only used it once. 

For my patterned paper,I dug through some old stacks and ran across a ColorBok one that I got at Wal-Mart at least 2 years ago.It had this great orange and white paper in there so I took the plunge and cut it for my card lol! 

The bling in my flowers on my flip flops is from Doodlebug Designs. I have had those for 6 months and have never even opened the package until this project!

That pretty red ribbon actually came from around a set of pajama's that my daughter got for Christmas. 

It feels so great to use up some of the items that I have purchased over the years! 

If you are anything like me and have some forgotten stash, we would love it if you would play along with us!

So head over to Use It Tuesday to read all about the challenge and to see all the beautiful warm projects that my DT sisters came up with!

Fun In The Sun--A Krafty Girls Challenge

Happy Tuesday!

Are you guys ready for another awesome challenge starting today at

Krafty Girls?

Challenge #10 is all about Fun In The Sun---Create a project that inspires you about summer.

I decided to make a card based on the most loved items in my closet :o)

Flip Flops!

I love flip flops! I look forward to warm weather just so I can wear them. Although if I am being truly honest, I pretty much wear them year round, even when it is 40 degrees outside. :o)

Anywho, for my card, I created a ruffled border by using my diamond lace border punch from EK Success and layered them on top of each other. I added a seam binding bow and then added that to my white card base. For my flip flops, I cut them out of the Car Decals cricut cartridge at 3.25" and attached them to the top of my white base.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today and taking a look at my latest creation. I really appreciate it! Don't forget to head over to the Krafty Girls blog to see more fun in the sun projects from the design team. I hope you will enter the challenge. I look forward to seeing what you create!
