MARCH 30, 2012***FRIDAY***JINGER ADAMS DESIGN TEAM......***

Good Afternoon Friends,
               









Did that name get your attention?
 Jinger Adams, was formerly the spokesperson for Provo Craft. She has now started her own blog and venturing with a new line of products, which will be available for everyone soon. There is a design team call, opened right now until The 31st of March. I'm pretty excited about the opportunity to try out for the team, and to get on it, would be even more awesome.  She has connected with The Scrap booking Queen for this adventure, make sure to check out that site also.
Everyone has the opportunity to try out, and I would suggest you do.  You never know it could be you. You will never know unless you try. So here is my design.  It is my style, I tend to make  multiples of items and this banner is no different.

I used two Cricut cartridges Yummy and Forever Young.

I have have joined together six little pennants with a reversible purple stitched ribbon, two different colored boots and 4 different shoes. It was a lot of fun to make and I hope you enjoyed it.

Looking forward to hearing your comments, and seeing your designs over at Jinger Adams blog.
Have a blessed day, Diana

MARCH 1, 2012***THURSDAY*** DL.ART THANKFUL THURSDAY CHALLENGE

Reminder: DL.ART Thankful Thursday challenge ends March 3, 2012: a butterfly and yellow.
The newest challenge is listed below


Good Morning Friends,

My husband and I went out to dinner last night. We figured we had an extra day this year so why not go for a romantic dinner.  We went early so we could watch the sun set over the ocean and enjoy the last day of the month.  I guess a lot of other people thought the same thing.  Luckily I made reservations  and got a great view of the ocean. They got a new chef not too long ago and the food was fantastic.


So onto my design: This is the birthday card that I made for my friend to go with the card set that I made and shared with you all yesterday.  This card was nothing I did at the  MG workshop. The girls are from my stash of pre- made die cuts and so is the couch from about a year ago and then I just layered  different size sheets of MME  Lost and found paper. I really like the way it came out

Here is the  New challenge:
Make a card any occasion, with at least three layers, a bow and some bling. 
  Now it is your turn-- You will have until March 17, 11:59 to submit your design


 
Remember a couple of weeks ago I said I was meeting with some designers and you would benefit from it. If you have heard of Monique Griffith you know who I am talking about.  There are four designers that work together to bring cricut kits to you, they consist of  Monique Griffith, Susan Rees, Wendy Lawrence and Becca Rees. You can either purchase the whole kit or just directions for most of them.  click on Monique's name to see more or click on the picture to go to the kit area
I had a video to show you, but it did not come out like I wanted, it is sideways and I can not figure out how to turn it around . So I will just show you what I purchased at the workshop as the giveaway for this challenge.  

                                                            THE PRIZE

 Is this Awesome or what?  This was designed by Monique's mother Susan Rees.  If you want to check out the kit and more info click on Monique s name above and then go to cricut kits on the menu bar at the top

You do need the cricut cartridge "Summer in Paris" to complete this project. I think you might be able to use  other similar cartridges for the images. Sentimental s might work, I would test the images on a scrap sheet of paper first.


I am entering the birthday card in the following Challenges:
CTO: Birthday with Bling
Scapalicious: Anything goes
Simon Says:Anything goes
 
Have a blessed day, Diana

New Years Eve Day-- December 31 2011-- AND A CARD

Hi Everyone,

Farewell 2011, I can not believe how quickly this year has gone by.  My goal for this past year was to start a blog and post on it everyday. I felt like a 13 year old with a new diary.  What do I write? Who will read it? Do I want any want to read it? Does anyone want to read it?
It certainly took a different turn from what I originally thought it would be.
I pretty much ramble on a lot.  My You tube videos are even more of a ramble, but they do get viewed and people have requested more, so I continue on..

I continue on because of all of you, I am encouraged and inspired, by each and everyone of you. I do believe my designs have improved and this has added another layer of interest to my art.  Stay tuned next year for more excitement. I'm not sure what next year holds, but the ride sure is enjoyable with all of you along.

I thought the Grrrrrrrr was a fitting sentiment-- New Years Eve Party time

More--TUESDAY

Now that I've gotten over the shock of the E2, and that it is on its way, I got  inspired to finish another project. This was a purse that I had cut out from Forever young on page 30, probably a year ago, it has just been sitting around being purple. I saw a challenge a few days ago, so I thought I would DR. this little baby up and enter the challenge, it has all the elements and I am the second person entering the challenge

Happy Sunday!!

This is a 4x8  card, 

This would fit in a A10 envelope which is the legal size 4 3/8 x 9 3/4

I used the forever young cartridge with the image cut a 3" I put a little stud at the waistline of the ladies dress with my new tool the I-rock by "imaginisce".

The herringbone paper is me and my big ideas and the other patterned paper is from SEI

The ribbon is Celebrate it and has a Hibiscus pattern on one side and a satin pink on the other side.

Blessings on your day. Thanks for coming over to my blog
