KCC #803 {Clean and Simple Happy Birthday}

Good morning crafty friends and welcome to "Krafty Chicks Thursday." 

I hope you are having a good week so far - it's been extraordinarily warm here in central Alberta and everything is melting fast. We are experiencing well-above 0C and while most people would celebrate that, it's made everything into a skating rink and so dangerous to be out walking etc. I feel it's a bit too warm for this time of year. 

This is our "CLEAN & SIMPLE" week, hosted by our wonderful Diane. CAS can be very different for people, but generally speaking, it's a lot of white (or open space), little to no embellishments and clean lines etc. Hop on over to the challenge blog and check out all the details and link up a card with us, we'd love to have you!

For my card this week, I am featuring a super cute birthday dinosaur clip art I found on Etsy quite some time ago. I stamped the "Happy Birthday!" sentiment from the set called Best Day from Stampin' Up! in black ink. I popped the image panel up and added a few dots and that's it! I love how it turned out - he's adorable :) 

Here's a close up of my card:

A Cut Above - {Anything Goes}

Happy Monday! I am back with another post for the "A Cut Above" Creative Team! 

If you aren’t familiar with A Cut Above, we share monthly challenges that are all about die-cutting. The challenges are always anything goes - with the condition of at least one die cut used (defined by using a die cut machine, manual or electronic, not a purchased pre-fabricated die cut).

Here's a close up of my card:

I cannot remember where my "Big Hugs" die came from - I lost the packaging a long time ago, but I love it! It's so bold and fun. I also used a stitched die cut for my blue circle :) 

Well, that’s my card for this month's challenge - I do hope you will join us! We would love to have you! Cheers!

Happy New Year to all my crafty friends and also welcome back for another year of 'Krafty Chicks' Thursday! (toot! toot!)

KCC #801 {BIRTHDAY}

I cannot recall if my card was part of a Stampin' Up! card kit or a Paper Pumpkin kit (I am thinking it was a PP as I was trying to catch up on some that I had "saved up" in my stash cupboard over the past couple years lol) Here is a close up:

Krafty Chicks Challenge #800 {Masculine}

Merry Christmas and Happy 'Krafty Chicks' Thursday! I hope you have a wonderful, blessed day, surrounded by family and friends. And that you make some space in your heart to honor those who are no longer with us - it's been a bit of a tough one this year for me, missing my Mom and not being able to call her, or go and pick her up and share her among my sisters for visits etc. All 3 of us are carrying out most of her Christmas time traditions and enjoying her decorations and ornaments we shared amongst us - I don't want to take my tree down for a while xoxox

It's my turn to be the challenge hostess and this week it's our "MASCULINE" theme. Great time to celebrate all those boys/men in our lives! Be sure to come on over and play along with us!
