OWH Daily Bread Designs Challenge for free shipping of cards to deployed troops.  This Month the challenge is to include Water on your card. I used the rainbow paper making the blue the water that the sail boat is on.  I added the paper flag to the top of the sails and placed the boat on the card hopefully making it look like a fun day on the water.

Celebrate Graduation with Just-A-Scrappin'  Use school colors or anything goes and add some bling.  I have  TWO graduations this year.  One, Tara, from law school, takes board exams later this summer.
The other, David, from Iowa State with school colors of red and gold.  First card is for Tara in purple because I love purple and have no idea if law school has colors.

I used <rctngle8>  at 2 1/2 inches from Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge, added the label, glued to card.  Added the sliver ribbon with Dots and the metal with glitter glue.  Inside will say " When you pass your bar, your be as happy as a bird with a french fry".
The other is Red and Gold, the gold always reflected the light not the flash.  I used red card stock for the bottom half and a PP for the top.  Cut <Square3> at 3 inches from gold card stock using  Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge.  Finished with stickers. Inside is a small envelope with play money sticking out.    Everything I used came from my stash.  Come on and join us at Just-A-Scrappin'!

Happy Memorial Day May 30, 2013 Here at Just-a-Scrappin' this weeks challenge is  Anything goes create a card or LO using the colors RED, WHITE & BLUE.  Here is my Book of Dates I'm working on.  It has each month with a calendar without the day just the date so it can be used forever.  This way I have a  place to look up birthday, anniversary and any special date needed.  This is July that I finished.   I started with a chipboard book that I used rings to hold together.I layered in the list of birthdays and it can be replaced if needed because I used Velum Repositionable Glue Dots adhesive,  added chipboard stickers and cut lots of starts using <Star3> from Art Philosophy I adhered 3 different size stars and have no idea now what size they are.  Now it's your turn - Join us at Just-a-Scrappin'

Next a inside page that faces the end of the bag has the green, yellow and orange colors in poke-a-dots with a butterfly cut from card stock using Art Philosophy <bttrfly1> at 1 1/2".  Then  Inked, added Glossy Accents and Stickles.

                                                                                                          

Last the back of the book has block paper with the green, yellow and Orange.  I added a light yellow star cut with Art Philosophy <star4> at 1 1/4".
Everything used is from my stash and most is not labeled.

350 Cards & Gifts: Gift Card Holder Challenge

350 Cards & Gifts Week:   Gift Card Holder Challenge

"Gift cards are awfully convenient, and they are great for ensuring that the recipient gets exactly what he or she wants. But they lack that personal touch.   That's where we paper crafters come in! There are a ton of fun ways to paper craft gift card holders to give them that personal and special touch that the gift cards themselves lack."  

sherry here, I started with a tag then make a envelope to cover the gift card.

All supplies are from my stash.  the butterfly paper is from Fancy Pants, left over from another project. 

I used temporary adhesive, Web Bond TA 101, to hold the gift card to the tag.  This way I can conceal the GC and have lots of room to  add names, sentiment and embellishments.

Once again, I invite you to join us in ourchallenge in celebration of 350 Cards & Gifts Week here in the Moxie Fab World.
