Recipe Library drawer-Whimsical Designs

Happy hump day ladies..

 I'm so excited to share my project with you today.. For this weeks challenge we were asked to use three items from our BINGO card (pictured below) 

and I chose the following: Stamps, Ribbon and Pearls..  I decided to create a library drawer for today's challenge.. I've seen a lot of those beautiful 7 Gypsies drawers and decided to create one of my own, from scratch using cardstock and shadow box file I bought from the SIL store..

Here's what I ended up creating:

The ENTIRE library box is made cardstock :)

Here's a view from the top.. you ca see all of the fun tags I created..

side view, you can see the faux wood effect I created with distress inks and a black marker..

added a Tim Holtz book plate and some roses from Iamroses, butterflies are Prima..

The legs are also from Tim Holtz and added some say it with pearls, plus leaves and ribbon.

Here you can get a better view at the faux wood effect..

a close up view of the fun tags I created.. 

I have some close ups of my favorite tags:

the phrase is from the SIL store, I just created the fun card using some squares, adding the phrase and then using the print and cut edge option in the SIL software..

This tag was fun to create.. the chocolate chip cookie and jar are an actual die cut I had found the SIL store. Same thing with just using the print and cut edge option.. The phrase is my own making with some fun fonts.

This phrase is from the SIL store.. Thought it was appropriate since I basically only bake with chocolate..LOL

the bowl and rolling pin are die cuts from the SIL store..

I don't drink wine, but thought this was so cute..LOL  oh, and added the word "roast" cause you get roasty when you drink too much wine..

I also added some file folders that I decorated the outside of.. The fun card I created myself with some fonts and a spoon die cut..

and I added a bunch of these tab file thingys, I just took a photo of a few of them.. 

The words on the tabs I created myself using a fun font, I also used my Bo Bunny stamps on all of the tab files..

and before I added everything to the drawer, this is what the base of the drawer looks like:

then I added the legs and book plate:

Project Life -Arrows SOUS reveal

Yikes. its another Monday.. But as I gt to share a Project Life page with you, these Mondays aren't so bad :)  This week  Leah has chosen our PL challenge and our challenge was to use an ARROW..

I decided to create the week I spent at my hubby's garage back in June.. I was enjoying my summer vacay working for my hubster..LOL

How about some close ups of the cards:

The week card.. I added some digital elements behind the font, then some die cuts : saw, screwdriver and the yellow arrows.  I made this using the "cut edge" option in the SIL designer edition software..

My hubster on the left and my "little" brother on the right..LOL  Our garage is a family business.. Both of our boys also work there along with my brother and my mom.. We also have two other employees that are not related to us..

I snapped a photo of my mom behind the service counter, which my hubby designed while I was not there.. Its too tall as you can see...LOL  I also wanted to add a fun tag pointing out my hubby's tool box, its definitely his pride and joy..

Wanted to do some journaling of my experience there and also added some labels..

This was inspired by my hubby specializing in fixing American cars.. He get some amazing cars to fix during the summer.. These are digital elements, except for the screwdriver which is a die cut.

and finally, a photo of my two boys working hard together and nicely..LOL  usually the older tries to boss the younger one around.. I have no idea what they were fixing, but I had to take a photo..LOL

TGIF!  Us girls over at SOUS were asked to create project using "FURRY FRIENDS!" die cut.. meaning, any kind of furry animal.. I of course used some doggy's since I have two furry friends..LOL

Aaaaaw right?..LOL  The photo is of my two fur balls, they were laying so nicely next to each other on the floor that I just had to snap a photo of them.. They are like two kids, fighting all the time and so when there is  a peaceful moment, you want to capture that on film..LOL

Clown card- Anything goes challenge WD

What better way to spend a Wednesday than to share a cute little step up card I created for our ANYTHING GOES challenge over at Whimsical Designs.  I decided to go a little cutesy and used a clown and some circus die cuts.. 

I love using both my Cricut and my Cameo to create cards and layouts, its like getting the best of both worlds.. if you can't find what you're looking for your Cricut, then I bet you'll find it in the Sil store and vice versa..

How about some close ups:

Here you can see the layers 

The pop corn is a Cricut cut, from the Country affair cartridge and the ticket strip is a Cameo cut, added my text and used the print only option for the tops of the tickets..

The cute little clown is a die cut from the SIL store, I pieced it together and just cut around the shadow instead of piecing it all together.. 

I attached the Happy Birthday sign by adding some cardstock legs to the back of the card..

for this weeks challenge we have a great sponsor:

MIRIAM'S CRAFTING SUPPLIES with a $5 gift card to her store..

  For supplies used to create this card:

Silhouette cameo (a portrait would do)
