"Three Times a Charm"~ Whimsical Wednesday Challenge #19

Hi everyone!

It is time for another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge!

Our fellow DT member Amber~ Staying Crafty chose this weeks challenge....which is

 "Three Times a Charm". We were to create a project using 3 cuts, 3 colors only and 3 of the same embellishments.

When I read the challenge requirement I thought "hey this doesn't sound to difficult" but when I sat down to create I was stumped!

I ended up going through all my stamps and found a dollar bin one that is the inspiration for my card.

Ok so I had this stamp and I knew there was a cut on the Preserves Cartridge with a pear on it but when I looked at the booklet there are 3 cuts per pear so I got out my handy dandy gypsy and began playing with the two base cuts.

I was able after much manipulation weld the bottom layer and the next layer. Tada...all I had to do was cut the top layer out twice and I had my pear cut ~~I actually cheated and made 4 cuts..but don't tell anyone :)

I did pop one of the top layers up to give it some dimension.

Alittle inking around the layers also...I just love how it adds so much more to a cut.

My color choice for this was brown, green and pink. Love those colors together and the pattern paper was perfect for this...brown with pink stripes

I embellished with 3 glittery brads and stamped my sentiment with brown memento ink.

Ok so I hope I have inspired you to create a project for this weeks challenge.

There is a great prize for the winner....

The Nursery Rhymes Cartridge.

Remember you have 2 weeks to enter...plenty of time to create!

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you all over at Whimsical Wednesday!

Whimsical Wednesdays Challenge #14~~Some Interactive Fun~~

Good Morning Bloggers!!

It is time for another Whimsical Wednesday Challenge!

This weeks Challenge #14 ~~Some Interactive Fun~~

Create a LO with movement...whether it is a pull out tag, slider, waterfall....anything that will move.

This is my project

My son was chosen as 1 of 4 kids to play in the Minor League All Star Game. His team~the Nationals~ was such a well run team and the coaches so helpful thoughout the entire season that Parker not only learned so much about baseball but his skills improved greatly! I was so honored that they chose Parker to play and after talking with the coaches...they chose him because of his improvement and all the skills he learned throughout the season. His love for baseball has gone as far as wanting to try out in September for the Clarence Travel Team~9U. They are an intense travel team...practicing all winter and then playing throughout the spring and summer.....We will see when tryouts are here :)

I was so excited and so very proud of him, his team mates and the way they played in the All Star game that I had to make my LO right after the game and preserve that memory immediately :)

My movement for this Challenge are the tags. I made 2 using my gypsy~ Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cartridge and the Sports Mania Cartridge.

I made my tag base and then welded a shadow Baseball to the top.

I then cut the baseball layers and attached them to form my tags.

Before attaching the baseballs, I stamped journaling lines

Here you can see my journal tags

Up close of the tags....I added in my white gel pen the stats of the game...some highlights of the day.

I love how this came out and Parker loved it so much it is already hanging in his room.

Some extra details about this LO....

The "My All Star" cut is a free SVG file I found over at SVGCuts.com. It was jsut perfect for this LO.

The embellishments are from EK Success.

I used my white Sakura Gel Pen for the journaling.

The paper is from Carolees Creations & Company and was one of the packs I picked up at the CKC Convention. The great thing about this paper...it was only $1 for 6 pages :)

So I hope you will join us over at Whimsical Wednesdays for this week's challenge!
