Say Cheese

 This week at Creative Knockouts, our challenge is Birthday Greetings.

I used Birthday Cheese from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps for my project.  While I was working on it, I had the idea to make the picture into a shaker element.  It seemed like a good idea at the time, but it took me four tries to get it right!  When making a shaker, be sure your frame is pointing the correct direction as you are gluing on the acetate and foam!

 This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge is something to say.  Add a sentiment to your project.

I used Le Pine Margaret Coffee from Mirtillamente stamps for my project.  The sentiment is a Silhouette cut file that I have had rolling around in my craft space for ages.  I printed it and it didn't fit my project, but knew it would work someday!  I colored the image with Copics and cut her out using the Silhouette Cameo as well.

Time for Fall

This week at Creative Knockouts, our theme is Fall Is In the Air.  

I used Autumn Fall Girl Reading from Star Stampz for my project.  I love fall colors so this was a great chance to use them as I live in the southern part of the US.  We don't really get fall.

Birthday Ice Cream

 This week at Creative Knockouts our challenge is Something to Say.  Your project must have a sentiment.

I used Ice Cream Cone from Twinkle Lane Designs for my project.  The image comes with three smaller ice cream treat images and a sentiment.  I wanted to use the sentiment, but couldn't figure out how to make it fit!  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.

Sunflower Smiles

 This week at Creative Knockouts, the challenge is Outside Fun.  

This sweet image is Katie and Sunflower from Laurie Furnell Ink.  The image comes with some fun extras like a sunflower sentiment border and the sweet Kit with a butterfly friend.  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The sentiment is a chippie that was purchased from Make It Crafty and colored with Copics as well.  I also used a clear Copic Spica pen to add some shimmer to the top layer.  Sadly, Zoe has closed up shop, but I loaded up on chippies before it closed.  These are a treasured part of my stash and are used sparingly!  The background paper is from the Prima Sun Kiss collection available digitally on Snap Click Supply.

Every Crayon

 This month our challenge at Crafty Gals Corner is For the Guys.

I used Crayon Dudes from Pattie's Creations for my project.  The image was colored with Copic markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo.  The sentiment was computer generated.  I have a plaque that hangs by my door that has the same quote on it.

Do the Things

 This week at Creative Knockouts or theme is for the boys.

I used Caffeinated Craig from Dr. Digi's House of Stamps for my project. I colored the image with Copic markers and cut out the image with the Silhouette Cameo.  Unfortunately, there was some technical difficulties and my image was cut incorrectly.  One of these days I will learn to cut out the image BEFORE I color it.  I am not even sure what happened.  I think the blade got stuck in the paper somehow.

I feel the sentiment on this card every morning when I get up for work.  I have to have my coffee then do the things. =P  The mesh on this card has been rolling around in my stash for SO LONG!  It is Magic Mesh from Stampin' Up! and I feel like it is so great for a card for a guy.  I only used a little for this so I will have it rolling around in my stash for a little while longer.

Celebrate You

 This month at Crafty Gals Corner, our challenge is For the Girls.

For my project I used Gigi Flap Dancer from MoonFlower Designs.  She was colored with Copic Markers and cut out using the Silhouette Cameo. Her jewelry was colored with gold Wink of Stella to give some great sparkle and shine.  The background paper is foiled, but it is so hard to capture in a picture.
