Where has the time gone? Has it been two weeks already since our last challenge over at CRAFT US CRAZY? You know what that means right? It's time for another new challenge!! The theme for this challenge is to create a project about "LOVE or REMEMBRANCE".

My project was kind of a no brainer. My little family loves loves loves anything Disney. However our greatest love is Disneyland! Here is a LO that I completed of our most recent trip in February. The LO showcases some of our favorite places while at the park.

CRAFT US CRAZY CHALLENGE #8

CHALLENGE #8 - SOMETHING NEW OR YOUR FAVORITE EMBELLISHMENT

Is it just me or does time seem to be going by super fast? I feel like it was just a few short weeks ago that CRAFT US CRAZY was rolling out with our very first challenge and now here we are getting ready to start challenge #8! The response to our challenges has been overwhelming. I can not get over all of the beautiful creations out there, it is amazing!!

The theme for this challenge is to complete a project with a "something new" theme,(think new car, new baby, new home, etc or something new to your project that you have not used before) or to use your favorite embellishment. I chose to complete a LO of my oldest daughter's first big girl purchase a few weeks ago......a new car. She may be in debt now, but she is loving her new car and she looks way cute behind the wheel of it too! I used very little materials for this LO as everything was paper pieced.

We have some really great sponsors lined up for this challenge. For the entire month of May we have THE CUTTING CAFE, and for this particular challenge we have DIGITAL DELIGHTS and THE PIXIE COTTAGE sponsoring us. Please hop on over to the CRAFT US CRAZY challenge blog to find out all about our terrific sponsors this challenge. I hope to see you all join us!

CRAFT US CRAZY CHALLENGE #7

CHALLENGE #7 - MOTHER'S DAY OR FLOWERS

I love Thursdays, because it means challenge time again over at CRAFT US CRAZY! It is exciting, challenge after challenge, to see all of the fantastic entry projects. Each and every one of them are so incredible. I can't wait to see the entries for this challenge. Speaking of which, this week's challenge theme is Mother's Day or flowers. Both of which go hand in hand in my opinion.

We have three AWESOME sponsors for this challenge: the CUTTING CAFE is our monthly sponsor until the end of May and both MELJIN'S DESIGNS and YOUR NEXT STAMP are sponsors for challenge #7. Check out their info and all of the challenge details over at the CRAFT US CRAZY blog.

My project for this challenge is a card using the "sunflower buggies" image from MELJIN'S DESIGNS. I chose to create more of a plain card with no patterned paper or embellishments because I think this image is so cute it can stand on it's own!!

Don't forget to join us over at CRAFT US CRAZY this week to show off your wonderful creation!!

CRAFT US CRAZY CHALLENGE #5

CHALLENGE #5 - EASTER

It is challenge time again over at CRAFT US CRAZY. I am always amazed with each challenge at all of the amazing talent out there!! This week's challenge is another fun one....the theme is EASTER! Bunnies (chocolate or otherwise), chicks, baskets, eggs, jellybeans, peeps, candy, and pastel colors. Anything goes that ties into the EASTER theme. Please check out the CRAFT US CRAZY blog for all of the challenge details and information on our amazing sponsors and prizes this week.

Speaking of sponsors, we have two really great ones!! This week's challenge sponsor is PEGGY LOVES VINTAGE. They have the cutest images and they are so easy to use as they are already pre-colored. Our sponsor for the entire month of April is STAMPFAIRY, one of my favorites!

For this week's challenge I made a mini pizza box using a image from PEGGY LOVES VINTAGE. I printed the image out several times to add layers to the roses, butterfly and bunnies. I had never made one of these boxes before but I found a great tutorial over at SCS and it was super easy to make.

I am hoping you will join us over at CRAFT US CRAZY. I am looking forward to seeing every one's EASTER themed projects!!

CRAFT US CRAZY CHALLENGE #4

CHALLENGE #4 - CUPCAKE/CELEBRATION THEME

You do know what today is right? It's Thursday, which means challenge day over at CRAFT US CRAZY. Our last challenge had over 180+ entries. What can I say? You guys rock!!! This week the challenge theme is CUPCAKES/CELEBRATION. You can check out all of the challenge and sponsor prize details here. Who are our sponsors for this challenge? For the entire month of March our sponsor is STITCHY BEAR STAMPS and our sponsor for this week's challenge is LIMITED RUNS DIGI'S.

Both my daughter and I have a birthday coming up within the next month and a half, so I thought I would make a banner as my challenge project that we could also use during our birthday celebrations. The banner was super easy to make and using one 12x12 sheet of paper yielded 6 banner flags. The hardest part was taking the pictures and trying to get a decent photo of the whole thing.

A close up pic. The banner says "CELEBRATE" with cupcakes on both ends.

I hope you will join us over at CRAFT US CRAZY this week for what should be a super fun challenge!! Always remember that we love to see all types of crafts during our challenges and it is not necessary to use product from our sponsors to participate, but if you do...awesome!!

CRAFT US CRAZY CHALLENGE # 3

CHALLENGE #3 - NATURE

It's challenge time again over at CRAFT US CRAZY. This weeks challenge is all about....NATURE! What inspires you about nature? Is it the flowers, trees, birds, or bugs? Play along with us this week to show us what inspires you in nature. Our sponsor for this week's challenge is COCODINGO. They have some of the most gorgeous digi images. We also have the privilege of having STITCHY BEAR STAMPS as a sponsor for the entire month of March.

Here is my card inspired by NATURE. Just how gorgeous is this image from COCODINGO? I have to admit that this type of image is not the norm for me. I tend to make more of the cutesier cards and not to many serious or pretty cards. However, I really wanted to push myself for this challenge and do something out of the box for me. I have to say I really enjoyed coloring this image and it's one of my favorites now.

I printed the image on kraft paper and used my Prisma pencils to color it in. I made what I hope looks close to a cherry blossom out of a Quick Kutz die, that I cut out and layered, sewing seed beads into the center. I also hand sewed the seed beads along the bottom of the card for something different and not too cute. ;)

Here is a close up pic of the image colored in. So let's see all of those NATURE inspired projects!! Come join us over at CRAFT US CRAZY and play along with our NATURE themed challenge. Remember it is not necessary to submit a project using a product from one of our sponsors, but if you do awesome!!
