Mema's Crafts BONUS Challenge - Prima Doll Tag

Happy Hump Day!  I'm so excited to share with you my BONUS challenge project for Mema's Crafts!!  We were sent a Prima doll stamp (I got Megan!) and a tag to create something, the only requirement being that we do some paper piecing!!   I knew instantly that I wanted to make a tag card.  I took a Prima tag I already had and added a brad and boom, instant card!!

Here's a photo of it opened, so you can see how well the ledger tag works for the inside.  Even gives you lines to write on :D

First up is Bugaboo!  I chose to work with Live Love Laugh Key, I thought it looked a bit Twilighty, so it spoke to me :)

Now onto Stitchy Bear.  I just fell head over heels for the Home Made Love digi set.  I had so much fun putting this together.

**ANYTHING GOES** New Challenge With Mema's Crafts!

Happy August!!  It's time for a new challenge with Mema's Crafts and we've got a great ANYTHING GOES theme this month!  We had two lovely sponsors to design with this month and at the end of the post there's a wee bonus to share with you all!

The Paper Nest Dolls were nice enough to share the digital image of their rubber stamps with our DT to work with this month.  I love all things Disney, so I picked Genie Avery to make this fun, Aladdin-themed card.

I wanna enter this in a couple challenges:

• Word Art Wednesday - #143 Anything Goes 3/5
• Scribble And Scrap - #22 Anything Goes 3/3

I love how it turned out.  Such a cute image!

Continuing with my Disney theme, I picked an Alice in Wonderland image from Make It Crafty!  The minute I saw Shrunken Alice, I thought of putting her in my Bell Jar.  Although the "glass" doesn't show up that well in the photo, I'm loving this idea. Gotta do another card with this one soon.

I'm going to enter this in a few challenges:

• My Craft Creations - Anything Goes
• FAN-Tastic Tuesday - #46 Anything Goes 3/4
• Eclectic Ellapu - Anything Goes
• Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge - #39 Anything Goes
• Sister Act Card Challenge - #68 Anything Goes

The surprise I have for you is an EXTRA project to share!  We've got a bonus challenge happening at Mema's Crafts this month!  Just enter your name on the Linky Tool and you could win a super-fun prize!

My bonus project is a set of chipboard letters that I altered.  I hung them in my craft room.  The I has an envelope that has little notes inside that I can doodle on from time to time :)
