Joy's Life 3D Animals & Card Folds Blog Hop!!

Welcome to Joy's Life's 3D Animals & Card Folds Blog Hop! We thought we'd combine two of our favorite things into one hop...animals and paper crafting!

If you came over from Megan then you are in the right place.  If you happened to stumble across this post and want to start hopping from the beginning, you can do so here.

  This time around, I fired up my Cameo.  (I think it's been awhile because I temporarily forgot how to connect to the computer! LOL!) 


I decided to make this 3D Owl Treat Box. 

None of the papers I had really clicked so I decided to use Washi tape on him.  I also embossed the die cut to give it some texture. This pattern had buttons you could cut from paper but I used real buttons.  Didn't realize the ribbon would look like a cowlick but I like it!
 
The stamp I used is from Joy's Wildlife Puns set. 

If you don't have your own set, you can get yours here.

 

*** Now how about some neat Blog Candy?? ***

 I found these SUPER cute buttons at Michaels.  

I picked up a set for me and a second set to share with a lucky hopper!  There are, believe it or not, 42 buttons of different sizes in each container.  

You can't tell from the pic but the lid is a button, also! 

*** Your next stop is Sarabeth!  She's a creative force and always has something great to share with you.***
 

Here's the entire lineup in case you got lost along the way.

Spring Has Sprung!

This is my first challenge using a die cut from Lettering Delights. I have to say I love their stuff!! They have some really cute things to choose from, so hopefully you'll see more in my future blog posts.

The stamped saying is from Studio G. I made the flower in the background by basket weaving the white & yellow papers and I think it came out super cute!

I'm going to enter this in Challenge Me Monday #54, Scrapbookaholic By Abby #2, and Whimsical Wednesday #2 April Showers Challenge.

Hope you enjoy my card. If you feel like it, leave me a comment. I always appreciate them!!

Creative Sisters Monday Challenge - Think Spring!

I just discovered that Patti-Lynn Creations is hosting a Think Spring Challenge! Yay!

In my previous post, I mentioned that I just bought the Sure Cuts Alot software and am CRAZY for the files you can get over at SVG Cuts. Well, when I found this latest challenge, I just had to whip up one of the bird houses.

The one thing I enjoy about Spring is hearing the birds chirping after going through a quiet winter.

Hope you enjoy the project! Thanks for stopping by! Your comments sure are appreciated.

Paper Cutz Challenge #80 - Spring Cards

Hello, Everyone! Seems like it has been FOREVER since I have been able to participate in a challenge. Work has been crazy so I am glad to have found some time to CREATE!
The wonderful blog, Paper Cutz Challenge, is currently hosting a Spring project challenge! I decided to used this chickie cause I just LOVE him! I thought I would combine him with my FIRST attempt at paper quilled flowers! I'm happy with how the card came out.
My hubby & I are setting up a studio for photography and we are currently experimenting with lighting. The quality of my pics should get better as time goes on but he did manage to catch the detail in the flowers.
Thanks for looking! Please feel free to leave a comment and/or follow me, if you feel like it!
