The Cuttlebug Spot Power of Women Challenge

Welcome back, Cuttlebug Spot! I'm happy to say I'm a returning member of the Design Team and looking forward to working with a fabulous group of new sisters and brother, yup, we got a crafty man, Woohoo! (along with my old buddies, Lillie and Julie). In celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness month we were asked to Think Pink. I have several friends who have battled this horrible disease and a few who have sadly lost. I made this card because I think of all of them often with hope, faith and love. The beautiful frame is the Lace Door Emboss Plus Cuttlebug folder and I used both the outer frame and cut out for the background. The Pink ribbon is cut on my Cricut from the Stand and Salute cartridge, embossed with the ever favorite Swiss Dots. The sentiment is computer generated.

The gorgeous butterflies were cut right in my Cuttlebug using a die from The Scrapping Cottage. A bit of popping for dimension and there you have it. Please join me in welcoming the new team and be sure to visit The Cuttlebug Spot to get acquainted and view the fabulous inspiration there.

Pretty in Pink at The Cuttlebug Spot

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month our color challenge at The Cuttlebug Spot is "Pretty in Pink" (with white or cream). Originally I wasn't planning on doing a breast cancer card but then I saw an adorable one on the Cricut message board by Suevan911 with the sentiment "Save the Hooters" and it just cracked me up. It also gave me a reason to finally use my adorable Cuttlebug Owl with Swirls folder. I inked it lightly and carefully cut around a portion of the owl with a craft knife so I could slip a scalloped heart behind her which was cut with my Nesties and embossed with the tiny hearts folder from the Cuttlebug Baby Cardmaking combo. The swirly bling is from Basic Grey. Then all that was needed was a pink ribbon. Please stop by The Cuttlebug Spot to be amazed and inspired by all of my Design Team sisters and remember to "Save your Hooters" with regular self examination and mammograms. And remind a friend too! This week our prize is a $20.oo gift certificate from Custom Crops so we hope to see you there.
