July Challenge and a Celebration at ACA!!

 

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).

This month we are celebrating the 2nd Anniversary at A Cut Above!! Toot! Toot! Be sure to hop on over and check out all the details HERE - There will be 2 random winners of a $5 GC to A Cherry On Top Craft Store along with 2 clear stamp sets :) 

Just to disclose - I did not make this card, my beautiful friend, Leanne, made it and I just *HAD* to share it and show it off - and I figured it was PERFECT for this challenge since it's the anniversary of ACA and it's just knock-out gorgeous. Thanks again, friend!! 

Here's a close up of my card:

That's my card for this month's challenge - thanks for stopping in. I do hope you will join us! We would love to have you! Cheers!

Happy Holidays - KCC #824

 

 Welcome to "Krafty Chicks Thursday." 

This week we are on Week 2 and as always the theme is "CHRISTMAS" with Denise as our hostess. We want to see all your festive creations - even though Christmas is over half the year away, you can always get started on your stash for this year! You could even make some gift bags or tags.  We hope you will come over and join in the fun with us.

KCC #824 {CHRISTMAS}

I found some of these older snowflake brads in my crafty drawers a couple weeks ago when I was doing a "crafty supply purge." I always loved them, and so I quickly whipped up an easy Christmas card with some older stamps and SU paper - love this color combo!

I'm So Grateful for You - KCC #821

Welcome to "Krafty Chicks Thursday." 

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend - it was quite cold here in central Alberta so I didn't get out in the yard as much as I had wanted. We have been experiencing frost at night still so I haven't put any flowers out yet and my garden planting is delayed this year LOL. It's looking like we may be out of the coldness now after tonight (fingers crossed) so I will get the rest of it planted maybe this weekend coming up. Do you plant a garden? If so, is it a big one and lots of variety of veggies/plants? I would love to hear about yours!

This is our "CLEAN & SIMPLE" week, hosted by our wonderful Diane. I am starting to really enjoy making CAS cards. The odd time, I struggle with so much white space, but not with this one as the balance with the  hummingbirds made it ok.

This card was easy to whip up from the beautiful March Paper Pumpkin kit from Stampin' Up! called "Fluttering Garden." It's such a gorgeous kit! 

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!
