Free Choice Challenge Theme at Scrappy Frogs

New monthly challenge for Scrappy Frogs begins today

Our new theme - FREE CHOICE

 

I had such a busy weekend and felt like my creative MOJO had left me... which would be so SAD :(

 

At times I get too use to having a theme or sketch to inspire me from the Design Teams I am on,

an this FREE CHOICE really stumped me and I was limited on time

 

So this is a quick card I am sharing today...

 

What I decided to do was dig through my stash of papers, embellishments, etc...

in hopes of finding something to inspire me

In the end, I settled for using an Echo Park mini theme collection kit called Just Married

There were papers, stickers and punch outs to use. 

I found a scrap piece of aqua cardstock to use and quickly made this wedding card

 

 

I finished it off with a black ribbon/bow and these wonderful teal and silver brads from my stash

 

So I challenge you to make something wonderful - FREE CHOICE of course

but maybe you can find something in your stash to use as well

 

I look forward to seeing what you come up with this month

Spring Joy for Scrappy Frogs

Today begins our new monthly challenge at Scrappy Frogs

 

With the new theme of THINK SPRING

 

I was having a computer issue and couldn't get some digital images printed, long story,

So I decided to create my Think Spring project using my Cricut

I think is turned out rather sweet

 

This is a 4-1/2" center step card

Paper from my stash of scraps

Sentiment from Close to My Heart

Cricut cartridge - A Walk in my Garden

page 91 <flwrpt> cut at 1-1/2"

page 97 <rose1> and <rose1-s> cut at 2-1/2"

page 121 <snail> and <snail-s> cut at 1"

I used ink to sponge around the edges of the Cricut cuts and a black liner pen to add detail

To finish the card:  ribbon and bow, black rhinestone for snails eye and blue buttons tied with floss

 

So come on over the Scrappy Frogs blog to get inspired by the rest of the Design Teams projects

THINK SPRING and create something wonderful to share with us this month
