Today I am playing with the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2010/03/butterfly-shaped-cardtemplate-cutting-file.html">Butterfly Shaped Card file</a> to create this super sweet card I will use to send with a “Christmas in July” swap I am participating in!! This file was perfect for he job and the sentiment I created is perfect too!! “Flying by for a little Christmas in July”. I'm in love with making shaker cards and the cut files that come with this set are perfectly set to make shakers!! I added some matching sequins and some VERY static-ky (yup, I'm making up words 😂) puffy bits from my stash. I used my anti-static powdered bag to help reduce them wanting to run all over my desk! lol!<br />
<br />
I also used a piece of this super thick and steady clear card stock available at <a href="http://www.thecuttingcafeshop.com/">The Cutting Cafe Shop</a>. The hat comes from the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2012/11/christmas-photo-booth-propstemplates-cutting-files.html">Christmas Photo Booth Props</a> file also available at <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/">The Cutting Cafe</a>.<br />
<br />
Check out <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/cutting_cafe_blog/">The Cutting Cafe Blog</a> on July 21st and enter to win free files from the shop!! Good Luck!!<br />

Today I wanted to share with you a project created for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/">The Cutting Cafe</a> in conjuction with our monthly design team projects & this time it includes a blog hop with giveaways!!!! Yessss, you can win the files that I am using here today along with the files used by the other designers if you follow along with the hop, visit their page(s) and complete whatever their requirements are to enter. For me, I'd like for you to leave me a comment here and I will use random.org in one week's time....that's June 28, 2018 so don't delay!!<br />
<br />
Ok, now on to my project(s). I've actually taking the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/adoption-sets/">Adoption Set</a> file one step further and created these <a href="https://craftydesignbylee.com/collections/buttons">pin back buttons</a> for my daughter to wear (because she loving my buttons so much 😏) and added pictures in the centers of her sweat baby boy do Shiloh (we like to call him ShilohBash). She adopted him a few years ago from our local animal shelter and he just FIT right into her LIFE!! He should really be pinned "Emotional Support Pup" because he really does keep her balanced and I just love the two of them together!!!<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/adoption-sets/">Adoption Set</a> comes with a Shaped Card File, 4 huge circle words and 8 sentiments. Here's what I did with the circled words:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pm-f_TffVy8/WyopBk9oSMI/AAAAAAAAMzI/pBsTfuDeOoYz1XdcIovj--05zDSb2scngCLcBGAs/s1600/IMG-3472.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1484" height="320" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pm-f_TffVy8/WyopBk9oSMI/AAAAAAAAMzI/pBsTfuDeOoYz1XdcIovj--05zDSb2scngCLcBGAs/s320/IMG-3472.JPG" width="296" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I took some images of Mr. ShilohBash and cropped them into my template for button making, did a quick print and cut and assembled these babies in less than 30 minutes!! I love it!! Here's what they say around the edge:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Adopted with Love - Introducing our new bundle of joy"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Happy Adoption Day"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Adoption Wishes"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I heard someone special has joined your family...congratulations"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now never fear..these sentiments work well for ANY type of adoption, not just pets, I just so happened to used it for a pet adoption on my end. I also wanted to create the Shaped Card in the set so here is that with some cute doggie embellishments and I used a paw stamp on one layer, the next layer I used a Darice paw print embossing folder then distressed it with Tim Holts vintage photo ink. I created that sentiment myself and fussy cut one of those paws and the bowl for accent pieces.</div>

reindeer antlers are so stinking cute!! I used a versa mark pen to make
the lines all over the antlers and added some extra fine gold embossing powder
to make them look more realistic. I also added these to scrap pieces from
one of the eye glasses cut out and created the ears for either side of the
antlers!! Last minute add on but so cute!!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

they are so I had to do the rectangle shaped ones too!! I also use a
piece of clear card stock from The Cutting Cafe between the layers of both pair
of glasses to give them finished feel! The bow tie is just to cute NOT to have

Welcome back to my blog today for a project share from <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/cutting_cafe_blog/"><span style="color: red;">The Cutting Cafe</span></a>!! Today we are doing something super special; we're having a blog hop! Blog hops are super fun and gives you links to see many, many projects in one place at one time without having to search all over the place to find inspiration!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You should be coming to me from <a href="https://cherisheachpreciousday.blogspot.com/">Patti Gilliam</a> wasn't her project just lovely!! OK, to create my project I used a combination of files which is quite easy to do with most of the files over at The Cutting Cafe!! For my project I used <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2009/04/monogram-set-and-stationery-box-set.html">The Stationary Box Set and the Monogram Set.</a> In this set you get everything you need to create some beautiful boxes (with or without a window); envelope maker template and monograms from A to Z with different shapes & designs!! There is also a blank monogram so you can customize it to your liking!! Want to see more about how I made this project? Check out my <a href="https://youtu.be/V98ic5YgyNw">video</a> share of all 5 boxes I created!! </span><br />

He helps me out around the house and some times just comes by to hang out! I love this little guy with all things 💖 and thank God for sending him my way! Today's project is a graduation card I made using the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2010/09/blank-bingo-card-printable-stamp-set.html">BINGO Set</a> from <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/">The Cutting Cafe</a> and I really love how it turned out!!<br />
<br />
There are several files for many different occasions of BINGO boards but what I loved most was blank board so I could customize it to fit my needs. I created my BINGO card using my Silhouette software, this awesome graduation card for him is what I came up with:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Am9bDovyiwI/WUpdmWMoAyI/AAAAAAAAHUc/RAe8qqRnuD0fcWIdp-RYo0rzrnBXkQtywCKgBGAs/s1600/IMG_0504.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1281" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Am9bDovyiwI/WUpdmWMoAyI/AAAAAAAAHUc/RAe8qqRnuD0fcWIdp-RYo0rzrnBXkQtywCKgBGAs/s320/IMG_0504.JPG" width="256" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Because I used my software and the blank BINGO card I was able to insert images and letters to suit my needs, ironically the words "CONGRATS GRAD 2017" fit perfectly in the number of boxes provided plus I was able to create a "got BINGO" pattern using a grad cap!! I did a diagonal BINGO pattern in give the sense of flipping off the cap at the end.....do you remember doing that!! Yea, that might be kinda corny...but I love it! lol!! Glossy accent and Wink of Stella finish off the sparkle.<br />
<br />

For this week's <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/">Cutting Cafe</a> Post we were challenged to post some pics of our crafty space!! What I've learned is this; although it doesn't take a large space to craft there is a definite need to keep things organized, otherwise it can get out of control!! LOL! So today I'd like to share with you two of my most "purchased" items and how I've chosen to store them. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My clear and rubber stamp collections in my mind are a little crazy!! I love sentiment stamps, animal stamps, background stamps, cute stamps of people (I really love them all) lol. This space is still under some construction, I'm trying to decide how to categories them (by company, by occasion, etc) but for the most part they are all here and somewhat organized. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-thMRZtl67Us/WPn_aV3UzaI/AAAAAAAAFX4/rH6tXI7aOb47FjUafZnOckmUVXmj-IfqQCKgB/s1600/20170421_083043.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="360" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-thMRZtl67Us/WPn_aV3UzaI/AAAAAAAAFX4/rH6tXI7aOb47FjUafZnOckmUVXmj-IfqQCKgB/s640/20170421_083043.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the draws are labeled on the outside already but the ones on the right I know what's in them....<a href="http://www.thecuttingcafeshop.com/">The Cutting Cafe Shop</a> happens to have its own draw!! These bins have all been purchased from Walmart Stores and fit perfectly under my work desk. This keeps them close to me so I can just reach down and grab a stamp in the midst of my creative time!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am also a huge "Card Kit" buyer and they were starting to outgrow the small space where they were stored above my desk. I found these bins at Staples (on sale (yaass)) and I'm really loving this new solution. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NOnJN8kF37Q/WPoAOz_bGBI/AAAAAAAAFYA/wBa0dRGWipQ_0901gewx93EWreDA8mv2ACKgB/s1600/20170421_083119-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NOnJN8kF37Q/WPoAOz_bGBI/AAAAAAAAFYA/wBa0dRGWipQ_0901gewx93EWreDA8mv2ACKgB/s640/20170421_083119-1.jpg" width="492" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Check out this video I posted really diving into how its done!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Whelp, I think that's all I've got!! Thanks for stopping by today! Let me know your thoughts and/or suggestions about how I can best categories my stamp collections, I'd love to hear your input!!</span><br />

Chauntelle here! Loving the title of this post and still laughing as I type this text because I am a F*A*N of Cookie Monster from Sesame Street!! He is my guy!! hahaha</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anywho, I think I'm good now so on to my project for this 7th day of March for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/">The Cutting Cafe</a>!! Today also happens to be my baby sister's birthday!! She's a big girl now (in her 30's but still my "baby sister"!! So, here's a quick HAPPY BIRTHDAY SISSY shout out to her!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today's project I used the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/cookie-jar-shaped-card/">Cookie Jar Cutting File</a> to create this cute card for my mother (whose like my friend) for her birthday on the 14th of this month....soooo.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY MOMMY too!! woot woot!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So, I tried using a new product I received in a monthly kit I order called Nuvo Mousse. It seems easy enough to apply and is suppose to make your project glimmer.....I don't see it! :o) Nonetheless, I trucked on!!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="640" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/f2NquFKSJm906qTxw-hS6hK_lqceKz7essxJH-0sG4GNzjTLUztDIPM7GI_kDc5p6P4jy_QKks-nMf6SHdTF6EIUoAicXQao-X81KSDXcQW8uDyEEpUNKiouKe1eyOhFWmWigoQRa_PuwT6ixdlgYr4saFtMGFPEjDXZISxjHwfHhuAf2LVc3mE0fdNkkampB46I6qSTQ8LuiQ0mRWlvofSpuuCXZ-Oq20WsdMZGHUo0_OePd2QqhLL3SqBHmFUuCjvxHWzkQPQ7FaPyBViaxNqI3uvB0OvhR1gRzqCKP9LFomFa0N_Y1W5emlkqmV16Iqz5xWlJkPrILojbol0aZooFo2KAEFVvHVMr55_AEuIdwli7ijH3iWavDITf99r60gb8qddc4B-LJOlYI5rd23jlub1Rvi6K3NpKhyMay3PuX15lHX2S9G3I5HtpjwQtNNG0Q8ZKhVLqyoNlOC9jV7264NxIl_fJlPGsDo-4WCFQ0LAEjB96uPNcYxVnK79deQALd2Rq32fG5gACdMz94VZHMQ6UtFTmkRFJ11c1rdk-zcM6cjElqTCcrKVYL6byUxWQAvePQO_hWZDJAlpnGI3142lNalvR3emmtZ-M1vOXpu3oHi8P=w572-h581-no" width="628" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a close up so you can see. I covered the sentiment with the mousse but all I can see is it covered parts of my letters (I used a dry cloth to try and rub it off) which doesn't look bad, its "artsy"...lol...so I went with it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The sentiment also comes with the set without the "birthday"; I simply typed that out and cropped it into place. I fussy cut around the letters and adhered it to the front of the card, popped up.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a full view of the card:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_IRIQ3byybw/WL39k4CEeBI/AAAAAAAAEN8/F_4GM4Vw06g8IwMJgSqc5Vz6PW3-JfnkACKgB/s1600/20170306_171237_wm-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_IRIQ3byybw/WL39k4CEeBI/AAAAAAAAEN8/F_4GM4Vw06g8IwMJgSqc5Vz6PW3-JfnkACKgB/s640/20170306_171237_wm-1.jpg" width="520" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I print and cut the stack of cookies (which comes with the file) and layered them on the front panel, then I added a piece of vellum to the checkered trim and placed that on top of the cookies!! Looks like a frosted cookie jar in real-life!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am loving this project and know my mother will love it too!! I'm working on my sister's card, she's away celebrating so to receive it late won't matter! LOL....oh to be in my 30's again!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi there, Chauntelle here; welcome to my design team post for the 21st day of February for <a href="http://www.thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a>!! This project is made using the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/cutting_cafe_blog/paper-beads/" target="_blank">Paper Beads set</a> available in the shop, it comes with a variety of designs to create stylish beads you can use to create jewelry!! I made this super cute purple necklace and earrings to match for my daughter and I know she's going to love them because they are purple!! :o)</span></div>

I really quickly and simply cut the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2015/02/everyday-word-windows-shakers-set-1-templates-and-cutting-files.html" target="_blank">Love Word Window</a> card on my cameo and put together this quick card to attach to a gift. It was super easy to do and the file comes with all the pieces you need, including a layer to cut some clear card stock for making a shaker card!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's a look at what I did:</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EGX5xxyq4Ks/WJnP-qGlMKI/AAAAAAAAEKs/UrG1LpiObqM0wq1UcHRCRkTwFtzXn5e9ACKgB/s1600/20170207_083822-1_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="603" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EGX5xxyq4Ks/WJnP-qGlMKI/AAAAAAAAEKs/UrG1LpiObqM0wq1UcHRCRkTwFtzXn5e9ACKgB/s640/20170207_083822-1_wm.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I used paper from a new stack by Craft Smith called Bella Flora. I picked up this paper pad at Micheals. I added a pearl trim to hide the foam tape I used to create my shaker card area and a bling piece in the center of the letter O for fun. This card, without adjusting the cut settings, measures 4" in diameter so it will fit in a standard sized envelope!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anywho, thank you so very much for stopping by and checking out my post for today. Happy Crafting!!</span><br />

Thanks for stopping by today!! I'd like to share with you my "Clean & Simple" project using the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2009/12/everyday-greetingsprintable-stamps.html" target="_blank">Everyday Greetings Set</a> from <a href="http://www.thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/" target="_blank">The Cutting Cafe</a>!! The file comes with about 10 sentiments that you can use in different ways to create cards, layouts or whatever you want!! I used them in combination with some print and cut digital files to create a four card layers. Check out my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItUJCsBeCIs" target="_blank">YouTube</a> video for a quick tutorial!!</span><br />

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my post for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/">The Cutting Cafe</a> this 7th day of December!! Well, the decorations are all hung and the halls have been deck at my home and this week's project was a sweet added addition to my holiday decorating madness!! LOL!! I used the very versatile <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/snowflake-kisses-box/">Snowflakes Kisses Box file</a> to create a stencil for the jar I altered. Check out the file and you'll see why I say its versatile!! It has many uses; the file comes with a snowflake trim and that's what I cut multiple times (with vinyl) to create my stencils.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I used a metallic gold spray paint by Rust-Oleum. The snowflake that comes with the file I increased it in size a few times and created this layered look on the front and added a pearl.</span></div>

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my design team post for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/">The Cutting Cafe</a> this 21st day of November!! Such a joyous time of year is just ahead of us and what a better time than to share some "inexpensive" love with family, friends, co-workers, employees or clients!! I love being able to share a little something with others and these files from Regina's shop are perfect for the job!! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I am showing you two files I used to create some treat holders to give to my family and some at the office. I used the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/k-cup-holder/">K-Cup Holder</a> File and <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2015/10/sucker-treat-cup-set-template-and-cutting-file.html">Sucker Treat Cup</a> File and turned it into an ornament. Although there is an <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2015/11/christmas-treat-cup-cards-templates.html">ornament treat cup</a> file the one I used has that scallop edge effect I wanted. Both of the treat cup files were just on sale for Cyber Monday last week so I hope you grabbed yours!!</span><br />

Hey there, Chauntelle here!! Thanks for joining me today for another design team inspiration post!! This project I love to create and give to my friends with small children, because my babies are grown up, and I don't bake!! hahaha but I love to create with paper and this <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/milk-carton/">Milk Carton cutting file</a> is no exception!! I've said it before but again, I'm not really a Halloween type of girl but I DO LOVE pumpkins and I love the fact that <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/">The Cutting Cafe</a> has Halloween files available for those who love the holiday but there are also files available that simply symbolize "Fall" and pumpkins are a huge part of the Fall season!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Check out my milk carton:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its so super cute!! That pretty plaid paper was just sticking out to me so I knew I wanted to use it in this project; I softened the edges with some colorbox Chestnut Roan Ink and added it to the top of the carton and for the largest pumpkin. I also used a piece of acetate to create that clear background, kind of so a treat could peek through; for the other pumpkins all I did was "ungroup" the milk carton cutting file and "size-down" the pumpkin only to create different sizes. I pulled a googly eyes stamp from my stash (this one is from Close To My Heart and gave all my cuties some eyes! The grass is from a file I have on my Silhouette Cameo and I just sized it to fit this project. Finally, the glittery orange ribbon!! Its amazing how well this project came together!! I was looking for a different ribbon, for a different project and came across this orange glittery ribbon and knew I needed to incorporate it into this project!! It was perfect!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Whelp, I hope you enjoyed my project and have been inspired!! Go check out this <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/milk-carton/">file</a>, there are so many different holidays it will work well to celebrate!! Thanks for stopping by today, until next time!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Blessings and Happy Craftiness!!</div>

Crafty Lee here!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my design team post for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/">The Cutting Cafe</a> this 21st day of September!! Can you believe its September already??!! Yikes, the year is just about done, kids are back to school, summer blooms are fading away and the sun is sleeping longer in the mornings! Oh, sorry, I digress.....LOL!!<br />
<br />
This period we are playing with the<a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2016/08/lets-write-a-letter-printable-stamp-set.html"> "Let's Write a Letter"</a> printable file from The Cafe, well, although I LOVE this file and all the pretty printed papers, my project was completed using the Note Pad printable file (#computerproblems - gotta love it). The best part about this change for me is Regina has so many files with so many different ways to use them that you can make adjustments as desired!!<br />
<br />
I'm not really a writer, although I love to text, I'd prefer a phone call but I do like "listing things", you know, making notes and jotting down things so I decided to create a booklet that will hold 40 sheets of the printed <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2010/07/line-paper-note-pad-settemplate-cutting-file.html">Line Paper</a> file and fit in my purse!!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This paper stack from DCWV I have had for a really long time and decided to pull it out to create this project, I really love the texture of the papers and wood grain design. One of the sheets has different sentiments which I fussy cut two of them and used on the front of the book because they are so true!! I am always MYSELF and I NEED to REMEMBER THINGS...hahaha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the inside, I didn't cut any of the envelopes (included with the file) because I'm using this book for my own personal note taken needs. The banner I also fussy cut for the inside and found the super cute swirly ribbon in my stash for accent; the green color pairs well with the wood grain look.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just as a final touch I altered a mini binder clip to create a closure. Super cute and excited to see the end result!! So thanks again for stopping by and I hope you've been inspired!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Everybody needs a pencil!!</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hey there, welcome to my blog post for these 21st day of August for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/">The Cutting Cafe</a>!! Today we are celebrating "Back to School" season!! I used the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/penciil-shaped-card/">Pencil Shaped Card Cutting File</a> to create these mini pencil shaped note cards that can be added to your child's lunch box or book bag with an encouraging note for their day!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This post comes at a bitter sweet time for me because my babies are no longer babies and I'm sad that I won't have a chance to put these cute little note cards in their lunch bags but.....#yolo...lol!! </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">These cards measure about 4" x 1.5" so they are perfect for sharing in small places. I heat embossed the sentiment in a glitter red embossing powder and used my punches to create the raised flower and stem.</span></div>

Yaaasss!!<span style="font-size: large;">Hey there, Chauntelle here!! Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog post for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/">The Cutting Cafe</a> this 7th Day of August!! Going a bit non-traditional here and decided to turn the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2014/12/fun-with-lunch-bags-templates-and-cutting-files.html">Fun with Lunch Bags</a> file template into a warm winter wishes treat bag!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This file was fun and easy to work with and a great break from summer crafting!! Check out some pics!</span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">I added some matching string, tied in a bow and a few little jingle bells for fun!

Thanks for stopping by today to check out my post for <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/">The Cutting Cafe</a>'s 21st of the month design team post!! Super excited about this project!! This time around Regina has challenged the team to create a project....any project...but "with a twist"....SUPER-SIZE IT!!! We wanted to showcase for you the versatility of the cutting files available in the shop and I was up for the challenge!! <br />
<br />
I was looking to create a "by me" piece to hang in my craft room for some time now and this project gave me the perfect opportunity, although now I think I want to hang it up at my office or give it to my daughter!! LOL!! Guess I'll be creating more of these soon!!<br />
<br />
I found the perfect image from my Prima Doll collection, colored her up with my copic markers and added the word "BeaYOUtiful" as I have seen it displayed in other places and really wanted to create a piece of my own using this word! A large scallop and circle are layered over the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2014/06/fun-with-rosettes-templates-and-cutting-files.html">Fun with Rosettes</a> cutting file which I resized as large as my mat would allow to create this canvas.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hrkJUptgcrI/V47PdNN4k3I/AAAAAAAADqk/gYTtwFISF3s_7YSV0CbnC43tdTGK5tXGgCKgB/s1600/20160719_173218_wm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hrkJUptgcrI/V47PdNN4k3I/AAAAAAAADqk/gYTtwFISF3s_7YSV0CbnC43tdTGK5tXGgCKgB/s320/20160719_173218_wm.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love, love, love how it turned out!! My canvas is 16"x 10" in size and my huge rosette flower fits perfectly in the center!! I used coral and a rose color spray paint to cover the white canvas and if you look closely you'll see the hearts I stenciled in between spray layers!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's a closely look at the rosette!! I cut four pieces from the file, married them together to create this large rosette that measures about 12" in diameter!! If you've got a minute, check out my video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZogpqUVkaw</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you have been inspired by my creation and will try "SUPER-SIZING" a file from <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/">The Cutting Cafe</a> for yourself!! </div>

Check out my latest card using the new clear stamp set <a href="http://www.thecuttingcafeshop.com/#!product-page/c1cs/39453cfb-6d58-b671-b3b8-82a621cf9edd">Everyday Elisha Jean and Friends</a> from <a href="http://www.thecuttingcafeshop.com/">The Cutting Cafe Shop</a>!! I can't say it enough that I love these clear stamps! They stamp so well and clean up so nicely that I almost don't want to use my other stamps!! ALMOST...LOL! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I'm also working on using some of the techniques I learned in my recent Copic class taking a few week's ago!! I had such an awesome time learning and laughing with my classmates and instructor Cindy Lawrence! It was so much fun!!</span><br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also used products from 'Stampin up' to create the sentiment and die cuts for the numbers. Elisha Jean is so stinking cute, don't you think!? heehee</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I also used the word stamps included with the set to create the sentiment and to add a few hearts. Ruby J's dress is paper pieced and although you can't really see in the picture her shoes, headband, pockets & earrings have been blinged with a glitter pen!!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I popped Ruby J up on pop dots to give some dimension and laid her down on a lace doily. The ribbon and flower come from my stash!!</span></div>

Thanks for stopping by today to check out my "inspiration time" post for <a href="http://www.thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/">The Cutting Cafe</a> for this 7th day of May!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">In this project I used the <a href="http://thecuttingcafe.typepad.com/the_cutting_cafe/2014/03/wedding-word-shaped-card-template-and-cutting-file.html">Wedding Word Shaped Card</a> to create a little album for a sweet young lady who will be tying the knot soon!! I am so inspired by her love of ALL THINGS and I really just wanted to create something special for her!! She is also a crafter and I'm sure she will appreciate it.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The pages were cut first using manila folders because its a little heavier, than a DCWV designer stack all wedding related that I've had in my stash for awhile. For extra security I used a piece of lightweight chipboard for the final page to ensure it was sturdy!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I love how it turned out and you can get more details on the items I used on my <a href="https://youtu.be/eIuMlmqoi10">YouTube</a> channel where I have uploaded a video!!</span></div>
