Curtain Call Challenge, NBUS, and a Clay Peek!

Hello and happy Sunday! 
I hope you all are enjoying the day! I have a card to share today for the Curtain Call challenge and Darnell's NBUS Challenge, and a little peek at what I've been doing with my clay.

I think .... that this might just be my favorite card I have ever made. If you've noticed lately, I have been enthralled with winter scenes with little animals in them, and preferably foxes, but I do love most cute little critters :) Everything on this card, except for the Hello was under the tree this Christmas, and what a fabulous Christmas morning it was! haha! 

I started this card by stamping the white snowflakes in the background in Versamark and embossing them with clear embossing ink. I then sponged some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over it. The little village scene is from Cottage Cutz. I love it! It looked funny with the snow showing through the windows though, so I cut another one out of yellow and glued the yellow pieces in the windows and doors. I colored the adorable little fox with Copic markers and the Hello is cut from glittered Fun Foam. Love that stuff! I don't know about you, but I absolutely detest glueing layers of word dies together. I do it, but I don't like it. There's got to be an easier way!! 

Supplies:

Snowy background-My Favorite Things

Village Die- Cottage Cutz

Snowy Hill- My Favorite Things

Fox- WPlus9

Hello die- Serendipity Stamps

So this card is going to the Curtain Call Challenge which is Soft Scarf. My little fox has a soft scarf on, so I hope this qualifies. It's also going to Darnell's NBUS Challenge, because this is all NBUS! 

Now if you are still reading, here's a peek at what I've been working on with my clay. I took December off from my clay work , because it's an insanely busy month, and I wanted to be able to enjoy the holidays. I just recently got the clay back out and you'll notice in my photo that my clay work has been heavily inspired by my card making! I have been creating little winter scenes with animals in them! I've been having a lot of fun with these!

Allright! That's all I have for you today! It's going to get up to 60 degrees today and the sun is shining, so yay for that! The boys are out cutting trees down, so it's just the girl and me for most of the day. We're going to do some fun crafty things and maybe take a nice long walk with the dogs.

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

The Cutting Edge Challenge #9

I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend!

It's time to share the next Cutting Edge Challenge!  We have another inspiration project, this one done by Lisa! 

 Let yourself be inspired by Lisa's  card, and create a card that includes die cutting (all forms accepted). This was such a fun card to CASE!

 Here's what I did:

I first covered my white card base with patterned paper, then I cut a stitched panel from white card stock. Next I did cut all the flowers and leaves and added them with foam tape. I then cut the sentiment die three times and glued them all together before adhering it to the card.

• Stitched Panel - Lil Inkers
• Plain flowers- My Favorite Things
• Detailed Flowers - Papertrey Ink
• Leaves- Memory Box
• Hello- Serendipity Stamps

We’d love to have you play along with us! If you click on through to The Cutting Edge Challenge Blog, you’ll find lots of information, including:
