Bunny Silhouette - Cookie Card Challenge

Hello Crafters and Bakers! Today is the cookie card challenge. It's a time where I get to have inspiration from my cousins cookies and make a card based off of them. When I saw these ADORABLE burlap bunny cookies I knew I had to choose them for my inspiration. You can see her blog post on these cookies HERE.

I do have to say that my card is definitely not as cute as those cookies but I tried.  :)  The following is my card:

I wish I would have made the burlap a little longer but that's OK.  It still turned out cute.

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to head on over to LilaLoa to see what card she decided to remake into a cookie.  :)

Heart Photo Shoot - Cookie Card Challenge

Hi Crafters and Bakers! Sorry for the late post but I guess better late than never. :) It's that time of the month where I choose one of her cookies to try and recreate into a card and she makes a cookie based off of one of my cards. I saw this super cute cookie that I thought would be perfect for my dad's Valentine's card. You can see her post HERE.

She called them Photo Booth Cookies and I just loved the different ways the hearts are placed.  Here is my card based off of those cookies:

So funny note on that random dark dot on the white heart.  I grabbed my red pen (according to the red cap) and made a dot.  It was green.  The red cap was on the green pen and vice versa.  What's funny about this is I knew immediately who did it.  My nephew Cole likes to use my markers and pens and he is Red/Green color blind.  :)  It runs in the family.  My grandpa, brother and 4 of my nephews are Red/Green color blind.  So I've run across this before.  :)  So he thought he put them on correctly because he couldn't tell the difference.  It was really funny and now there is a cute story to go w/ the card.  :)

Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to head on over to Georgeanne's blog, LilaLoa, to see what she made.  They are adorable!  :)

Warm Winter Wishes Mittens - Cookie Card Challenge

Special Happy Birthday Card

Hi Crafters and Bakers! Today I made a card off of some cookies my cousin made.

So what makes this a Special birthday card? The cookies I chose are from the COVER of her COOKIE BOOK!!! How AWESOME is that???? Here is the cover:

You can also buy her book, which is a Top 5 cookie book w/ Amazon by the way, on her blog: http://www.lilaloa.com

Here is the card that I made off of those cookies:

It's a simple card but I thought turned out cute.  I still feel like there is still too much white space but I didn't know what else to add.  Maybe I should have chosen a designer paper for the background instead of all white.  Next time...  :)

Happy Fall, Pumpkin! - Cookie Card Challenge

Happy Fall Crafters & Bakers! Today is the cookie card challenge. It's the day that helps me craft each month. I've been in a bit of a crafting lull. I have done some cards but haven't posted them on my blog yet. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks. Anyway...

If you aren't familiar with this challenge I choose one of my cousins cookies, LilaLoa, to make a card off of and she chooses one of my paper craft projects to make a cookie. The following are the cookies I'm making my card off of. I just love the wavy lines, colors, and spaces in between everything. It's a classy looking pumpkin.  You can find more about her post HERE.

Here is the card that I made based on those cute pumpkins.  It's a simple card but it's perfect for a friend, neighbor, etc type of card.  I used a banner cut to slice the pumpkin in two so it would have the curve like her pumpkin cookies.

Be sure to stop by my cousins blog, LilaLoa, to see what she made!

Daffodil Thank You Card - Cookie Challenge!

Hello Crafters & Bakers! Today LilaLoa and I are doing our Cookie Card Challenge. I chose the following Daffodil cookies to make a paper project off of.  They are so pretty and I just love the dimension to them.  Isn't she just amazing???  You can see her post about these cookies HERE.

I found this really pretty Daffodil in my Cricut Library.  It was one flat flower w/ a shadow behind it so I cut out the main image in two different colors and paper pieced them together for my flower image.  I love how this turned out.

My Cricut also wrote out the Thank You for my message.  I love this pen option with the new Cricut Explore machine.  I hardly use my message stamps anymore because I have this feature.

I also bought a new Anna Griffith Cuttlebug Embossing Folder.  I usually tend for more simple designs but I wanted to try this one out and I just loved it.

Hi Crafters and Bakers! Welcome to my tiny spot on the web. Today is the fun day where LilaLoa, aka Georganne, and I take inspiration off of each others work. I get to choose one of her adorable cookies and make a paper project off of that and she chooses one of my cards and makes a cookie off of that.  Have to say, one of my favorite days of the month to see what she has done.  :)  On to the show...

Hi Crafters & Bakers! Today is the Cookie Card Challenge.  Woo Hoo! This is the time that I get to make a card based off of one of LilaLoa's cookies.  I love finding inspiration in different places for my cards and her cookies are fabulous inspiration.  Try it sometime!

I didn't want to make a valentines day card but I saw these cute V-Day cookies and I needed to use it for my inspiration.  So I flipped it to a birthday card.  The following are her cookies and you can find her post about them HERE.

 The following is my card.  I have to say I love how it turned out. 

 

I used my Cricut Explore for this card and it cuts fabulously, love the writing pen option (used it on the message), and easy to use software.  

 

I added a bit of glitter.  lol  I also added a black gem for the eye.  Thanks for stopping by!  Be sure to head on over to the LilaLoa blog to see her cookie that she made off of one of my paper projects.

Cookie Card Challenge - Sleeping Baby in the Clouds

Hello Bakers & Crafters! Today is the Cookie Card Challenge!   Well almost.  Instead I'm making it the Cake Card Challenge.   :)  I was in the mood to make a baby card so while I was looking on Georganne's website, LilaLoa, I saw this cutie pie cake and it inspired me to make a cutie pie card.  :)  You can see her post on the cake HERE.

Before I get to my card let me share some exciting news.  Well, for me anyways.  I got the Cricut Explore for Christmas!  I'm so excited.  I haven't been able to access my Cricut cartridges for about a year now I think.  Now I have access to thousands of images that I purchased over years.  It's been great.  I've used it a couple of times now and it's really easy to use and just love the image search.

Anywho, here is my card... 

The stars are a light blue and I've put stickles on it.  So it's coming off as diamondy instead of blueish.  :)  Yeah, these are words.  I swear it.  lol

My cloud is made from vellum.  I love the way it turned out!

Cookie Card Challenge - A Partridge in a Christmas Tree

Hi Crafters & Bakers! Today is the cookie card challenge! I'm allowed to borrow one of my cousins cookie designs and use it to make a card. She also uses one of my card designs to make cookies! :) I saw these ADORABLE partridge cookies and knew I had to make it.  You can find her post HERE.  I also saw the red ornaments so decided to make a Christmas tree instead of a pear tree w/ these on them. 

Here is the card...

My bird originally had legs & a spiky feather at the top of her head.  I cut them both off and added a swirl to the top of my bird.

Hi Crafters & Bakers! Today is the Cookie Card challenge that Georganne (aka LilaLoa) and I do making a project using a design of the other person.  I love being able to steal, I mean, be inspired by her cookie creations.  :)  When I saw these cookies I fell in love w/ them.  I LOVE their huge heads.  :)  You can see her post HERE. 

Seriously, aren't they the cutest Halloween cookies???  I made my creation off of the Skeleton one.  Here is my project:

Cookie Card Challenge: Oh Baby!

YAY!  It's the 2nd Thursday of the month which means it's time for the COOKIE CARD CHALLENGE!!!   :)   Hello Crafters & Bakers!  Today I get to use one of Georganne's cookie designs from her blog, LilaLoa, and make it into a card.  This month I chose these ADORABLE little baby boy cookies!  You can see her post on them HERE.

Seriously!  How CUTE are those cookies!!!  My inspiration came from the baby bottle design w/ the little bows on them.  Have I mentioned they are CUTE?  :)

Here is my design:

I wish I did better on the alignment of the words but oh well.  I'm not perfect.

I thought it was the most darling baby card so I made a girl version of them.
