Happy Cake Day! - KCC #836

 

Happy 'Krafty Chicks' Thursday! 

Wow, we are already into September?! Crazy how fast the time goes by the older you get LOL. My granddaughter started Kindergarten this week, the leaves are changing colors, the air is crisp in the mornings/evenings - FALL is coming! :)

The first week of every month is our "BIRTHDAY" theme and this is hosted by none other than our wonderful Leanne. So break out anything birthday related and come on over and join us - we would love to have you!

KCC #836 {BIRTHDAY}

My card is the last of a kit I purchased a year or so ago and I've used all the birthday cards up. Might be time to replenish a kit or two. They are great to have on hand, been a life-saver for me during this extremely busy summer!

ACA - Today we Celebrate You!

 

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).

For this month's clean and simple challenge, there is also an optional "fall flowers" theme you can add to your card. I chose to just stick with this cute birthday card. 

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!

Anything Goes KCC #831 - You're the Coolest

 

Happy 'Krafty Chicks' Thursday everyone! 

It's our Anything Goes challenge as there is an extra Thursday this month :) Our hostess is our wonderful Diane, and this one is always exciting as we get to see SO many different creations (not all necessarily cards) and the gallery is usually chalk-full of amazing creations! 

This month, we have a little extra "optional" inspiration for you. Diane put together a "mood board" for us to use as our jump-off point for inspiration this week. You can use it if you wish, but you do not have to. Let your creativity flow...

KCC #831 {ANYTHING GOES}

My card is from a super cute summery kit called Summer Snapshots from Simple Cards. Here's a close up of my card:

KCC #829 {CLEAN & SIMPLE}

I wanted my card to have some color with the sentiment white - so I got inky. I found a card to CASE on Pinterest and I made it my own version with a polka dot stencil instead of hearts. It was actually a fairly quick card to make! Here's a close up of my card:
