The Cutting Edge Challenge

Hi Friends!

I hope you all had a nice Father's day! I spent a little time with my Dad before he politely let me, and the rest of us kids know, that he was ready for his nap! 

So have you heard about the new Cutting Edge Challenge? Jackie Rockwell started it, and she has a rock star line up of designers! It looks fabulous and right up my alley, as I LOVE dies and cutting stuff out! Anyway, they are having a little challenge ahead of time to pick a guest designer to join them for the first challenge. I'm adding my  card here to the challenge. I'm not a competitive sort, but I couldn't wait for the first challenge to start, so I thought I'd go ahead and play along :)

Here are the details if you want to play along too!


You have to use one of the designers card for inspiration. I chose the one in the lower right corner.



I had to add the rainbow... and the little house and trees, and the flowers and the .... Okay I had a hard time stopping adding things :D

Here's a list of all the dies I used :

Rainbow-MFT
Clouds- Lil Inkers
Sun- Lil Inkers
Stitched mat- Lil Inkers
Hills- Taylored Expressions
Flowers- Impression Obsession


Those nifty little enamel dots are some of my fabulous Perler beads melted in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes! If you decide to do this though, you need to open all the windows in the house! They are a bit smelly when they're melting :) 

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope you all have a fabulous week!

Hugs,

Kay :)

    Oh my gosh...those are the words that fell out of my mouth as I looked at this card, Kay. Um, WOW was next. What a fantastic little scene you've created, my friend! I adore the colors you chose. So cheery. That die with the house and trees border? Amazing.. The whole shebang together? Fantastic. Thanks so much for sharing. Who wouldn't have a blast die cutting lots of schtuff when you have these amazing pieces to play with when you are done. *Ü*
