Tag.....You're It!!

Welcome to "Tag You're It Tuesday"....lol. Lot's of Cosmo Cricket
goodies coming your way today!! Mostly tags, mini cards, and the
like, all made with the Mitten Weather collection, all great quick ideas
for fun gift tags/cards for any of your favorite people!! I'll be posting
new items all day long, so check back often. If you leave me a comment
on each and every post.....you can win a little Cosmo goodness to make
your own tags!! So, let the games begin....."Tag, You're It"!!!

Let it Snow......or NOT!

Ok, snow.....is honestly a four letter word to me. Yep, not a fan! But
this Let it Snow card......it's the kind of snow I'm good with! Another
Cosmo Cricket "Mitten Weather" project, I used a cuttle bug embossing
folder on kraft cardstock and then inked it with vintage photo from
Tim Holtz. The strip with the fancy snowflakes.....came from the pic on
the front of the package (love to recycle that stuff on cards!) and the
sticker and ready set chipboard pieces are the finishing touch!

Remember tomorrow is a special day.......stay tuned.......

Mitten Weather Wishes!

This soft pretty card is another Mitten Weather creation! I used
the Cosmo Cricket papers, stamps, ready set chipboard, and the
sheet of journal boxes/tags to make this lovely little easel card.
Just made one the other day and now I'm hooked! Course, creating
is easy with this line! Another project coming Monday, and then....
Tuesday.....watch for projects ALL DAY LONG!! That's all I'm say'n,
not giving any more away!

Simple Elegance

Here is another example of the wonderful Cosmo Cricket "Mitten Weather"
collection! I cut down one of the border strips to 5 & 1/2" size, matted it,
then layered it up with spellbinders die cuts, a decorative snowflake piece
from the Mitten Weather border strip (used a circle punch) and topped it
off with the reindeer from the ready set chipboard. Simple Elegance!

A Time for Thanks....

I have had these journals sitting around for about 2 years!! Been meaning
to alter them and give them as gifts! This journal shows just how versatile
the "Mitten Weather" collection from Cosmo Cricket can be! I used the
back side of the holly paper (that's the red dot.....LOVE the 2 sided paper!)
and I also used the soft, almost khaki snowflake paper (the circle), and the
rectangle is from the journal card sheet, the "favorite things" from the
"Mitten Weather" stamp set (this set is beyond awesome!!) and one of my
very favorite things......the CC tiny type alphas......can you say addiction?!
Can't get enough of these lately! Remember to stay tuned....more to come!

It's Mitten Weather!!

Ok, that IS a joke....we are having our warmest November EVER!!
But it's no joke that this sweet little card was made using the
"Mitten Weather" collection from Cosmo Cricket! If you keep an
eye out.....I've got more cozy creations coming over the next week
or two.....if I'm lucky, I might get a Guest Design Team (GDT) spot
for the month of December! Can't imagine a better gift!!

Overflowing with Chocolate!

Challenge #1 at the Crop Chocolate crop was to draw inspiration from a Target
store ad. sorry, no image, but it was very RED and had a grid pattern.....thus,
my entry above!.....lol.
Challenge #2 was a "dinner menu" challenge.....this one was a hoot! We chose
items from a list on day one, and day 2, we found out what our choices meant!
I chose Steak as my entree, which meant to use predominately brown, my
appetizer was Potato Skins (can I just interrupt with a YUM here....lol),
it meant I had to use a square on my LO (I used a raw chipboard frame, and
embossed it using a Tim Holtz (TH) folder and my quikutz hand tool (can I say
TIME CONSUMING AND PAINFUL.....lol.....but uber cool!)....I finished that
off with suede glimmer mist and vintage photo ink to pop the embossing,
next on the menu--soup or salad.....I was a garden salad, which meant BLING
(YAY!). I used glimmer mist on almost everything.....lol, and I also added pearls
to my starfish (shout out to Heather for sending me this little wooden ornament
to embellish!), and what meal is complete without dessert?? No meal of mine,
I guarantee......lol. I had chocolate mousse which was using chipboard in your title.
Mine is chipboard, course, with more lovely glimmer mist (dragonfly!). The word
"net" was a wee bit easier...just ran that thru the cuttle bug and then misted and
inked. I this this was my favorite!
Challenge #3 was an easel card......I used BG bittersweet and the circle stamp is
BG as well. I got a chance to use my new MS hydrangea punch as well!
Challenge #4 was to make an altered word art project. This banner is soooo
pretty in person....the pic just doesn't do it justice. I was up until 2am trying to
get a good pic.....and then tried in the light the next day......it's just not very
photogenic......what can I say......lol. This one was made with the Christmas
Magic collection from FP and MM glitter jigsaw letters AND those pretty
crystals on the bottom are from Maya Road.
Challenge #5 was a "scraplift"....so a shout out to runzalot81 over at CC for
my inspiration. I've never been a big "scraplifter"......this actually is my very
first! It was fun to change it up while trying to keep some of that original
"peeking out". I used BG bittersweet, and who knew I'd use my pink MM
Sabrina collection to scrap one of my guys.....lol. I bought it for cards.....well
here you go, life is always full of surprises.....lol.

Challenge #6 (below) was a thankful journal. I did my using that front
"throw away" sheet out of the Echo Park "Walk in the Park" collection
(never throw that away....use it for cards or altered projects!) and I also
used the sticker sheet to embellish. I can tell you one thing I'm thankful
for.....Crop Chocolate and their awesome crop!! What a fun weekend!
