Spring!

I have another Clean & Simple card to show you today that was inspired by the DT inspiration at CAS-ual Fridays.

Don't forget to check out my DT Call.



I'm really tickled with it because I was able to create the oval cut outs in the Silhouette software. with layers and frames. Slowly but surely I'm trying new things with the software.

Sequins (Royal Castle Shoppe)
Embossing folder
Silhouette Software Custom Created Cuts
Stampin' Up "Serene Silhouettes"
Image background created using masking tape that was inked and then transferred to white cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by today to see what I am up to. :) Janis

    Chicken in the Dog House Refrigerator Magnet

    For my project today, I used inspiration from Gigi (The Cricut Bug) who made a fantastic slider card in March. 




    My project isn't a card, it's a magnet for our frig. We love magnets on the frig!

    Miss Kate Cuttables
    "Dog Days"

    I used Miss Kate Cuttables "Dog Days" for my chicken coop. 











    I put the dog door higher and hand cut some steps leading up to it.


    The roof is embossed, and I added some random buttons.














    PK-1374 Chicken Faces 1 1/8"
    PK-1375 Faceless Chickens

    Chicken and sentiment are both from Peachy Keen Stamps!



    Isn't this fun?!
