Bear with Apples

 Well my good friend Carol explained to me how to make a diamond point card because she is soooo talented and she wins so many challenges. So I just had to try it out. I pulled out an image that I had colored in my stash from Torico when she used to sell her own digital images.  I had this printed so long ago that I don't even know the name of the image.  I was able to find a few die cuts and an apple Martha Stewart punch, and voila.

Love and a teddy bear

Today I am a Guest Designer for Joy of Sets and they have a Challenge with an October tic tac toe board. For my sample card I used a Mo Manning image, Elke and Bear and a sentiment from TLC, Create. For this I used the row of Bronze/ Apples / Emboss.  I used a couple of bronze brads that I found and I dry embossed the brown cardstock.  If you know when I make cards for my DT for Bugaboo I like to do all the elements in the BINGO, and I found that too challenging with this board so I made another card.

Happy Teacher's Day

At Catch the Bug today is Humor Me Wednesday and I chose to celebrate that October 5th is World Teacher's Day so my card is using the image Deacon - School Sign It.  On the sign, I put a sentiment from TLC, Create.  I put two punched apples and one is on pop dots, and I put a yellow paper clip that I had in my stash.  I saw my daughter this past weekend and gave her this card with a Starbucks gift card and on the envelope I put - DO NOT OPEN UNTIL OCTOBER 5th!  So it's driving her crazy because I wouldn't tell her what the card is for. lol
