Deck the Moose -- Sewn Togehter Challenge with The Cutting Cafe

Yikes! It's been a crazy couple of weeks at my house. The H1N1 flu finally caught up with us. I was lucky & did get sick, but I was kept awfully busy taking temps, dispensing Tamiflu, and administering breathing treatments. Yuck! I'm thankful that everyone is feeling better and things are beginning to get back to normal. I'm ready to get back to my message boards and blogs! Alright, enough of that, and on to the fun stuff. This week's challenge at Sew Many Cards is to make a Christmas card using a Sewn Together digi stamp. I used the "Merry Christmoose" Morty image for my card and teamed it with a couple of ornaments from the Bubs for the Holidays collection at The Cutting Cafe. Regina at The Cutting Cafe is sponsoring this week's SMC challenge, so be sure and check out all her fabulous designs. Also remember to stop by the SMC blog to see all the design teams awesome creations. The deadline to enter this week's challenge is midnight (est) Monday, November 30. We would love to see your Christmas creation with a Sewn Together image paired with one from The Cutting Cafe. Hope you get a chance to play with us this week. The winner will receive 3 Cutting Cafe images. How awesome is that! Here's a great big Thank You to Regina for sponsoring our challenge this week. I hope everyone has a safe and blessed Thanksgiving with family and friends! God bless!!

Naughty or Nice -- Sew Many Cards Challenge # 12


Good Tuesday morning! It's challenge time again at Sew Many Cards. This week's challenge is to make a Christmas card or paper craft project using bows, as well as, a Sewn Together image. Since I couldn't make a decent bow yesterday, I used these cute bow brads from Paperwishes. I love this Morty image. Since I have young kids, the "naughty/nice" list is a big topic of discussion at my house this time of year. Please check out all the terrific projects from my fellow design team members at the Sew Many Cards blog or at Sew Many Cards Ning, and remember the deadline to enter is midnight (est) Monday, November 16. Hope you have a chance to play with us this week. God bless you!

Sew Many Cards November Release Party




It's finally here! After a week of sneak peeks, scavenger hunts, and blog hops, Angela is ready to reveal her new images. My assignment for the release party was the November Value Pack. This a super deal. You get 6 digi stamps (Donkey with a turkey, leaf, acron, pie, applels, and a crow) for only $6. Angela ask me to create something other than a card using this pack. I remembered seeing a very elegant table runner in a craft magazine about a month ago. The letters were gold embossed, and it was tied together with gold cord. Although I loved the look, I knew it would never work with my wild bunch. I just don't think my kids are quiet ready for gold embossing, china, and crystal. YIKES! So I decide to try a less formal verison for the release party. It was a lot easier than I thought it would be, and you can adapt it to fit many different occassions -- birthday parties, Christmas, baby showers, etc. Here's the recipe:
Cut cs into 4 X 6 rectangles (you'll need one for each letter and image)
Cut the same number of 3 1/2 X 5 1/2 rectangles from pp
Cut out letters (I used my Cricut with the Storybook cart)
Color image(s)
Glue layers and emblish with smaller images
Punch two holes into each side of the cs
Thread ribbon thru holes and tie
Be sure and check out all the super new images and the design teams' terrific creations at the Sew Many Cards blog and at our Release Party Spot. Thanks so much for playing along with us this week. God bless.

Hope you can play with us this week. God bless!
