Challenges:

2 Red Bananas Our challenge for this week is an inspiration challenge. I love this picture and I think there are so many different things in it to draw inspiration from.

World of Pop-Ups

Update:
I won this weeks challenge! Maggie at the Cuttlebug Challenge will post instructions on Monday for the Paris pop up if anyone is interested.

Hi Cuttlebuggers,
Thought I would show you something different this week.

Cuttlebug Challenge Be Inspired #44 - Create a scene. Paris Pop up.
Just wanted to share what I've been working on. I love the world of pop-ups and was able to design this on my pazzles machine.

The template came from an Origamic architecture book. I photocopied the picture and traced it with my software. If you would like the window and Paris Scene template, download Here.

This pop up came from Papyromania. I just love it. Still needs a little tweaking.

The cat and empire came from:   Willem's Origamic Architecture

This came from Marivi Designs, she has some awesome pop-ups and some free templates with instructions.

If you would like this template you can download it here.

House Mouse Lights

I just recently started designing my own die cuts and this is one of them, "string of lights". I think it turned out okay. If you would like this file, you can download it HERE. It comes in AI, SVG for Cricut SCAL users, PLT for KNK, EPS, WPC, GSD and PDF for print and cut. For KNK users, I found some directions for you Here. I also included a frame and border, I hope you find it useful.

Challenges:

Cuttlebug Challenge Be Inspired # 43. They would like to see a digital image on our project. The digital image is from Mlamarre Designs, if you leave a comment at the Cuttlebug Challenge site, she will give you several images for this challenge. I love the designs she created, just fabulous. Digital Images are all the rage right now.

Chirper Challenge is "Let's Get In Shape" The designers were challenged to create a shaped card or layout.

Digital Tuesday #18- add some bling to your project. It can be in the form of stickles, glitter, rhinestones, etc. Whatever makes your card sparkly and fabulous! I used Martha Stewart Pearls.

Over at 2Red Banana's their challenge is called "And I Quote" they would like to see a quote as the main focus.

High Hopes #42 - This week our sassy hostess is Jeanne!! She has called this challenge Go for the Gold!! She would like us to use some gold anywhere on our projects, whether it's in the patterned paper, the cardstock, gold embellishments, ribbon etc. Let's see you show off your gold!

Kaboodle #10 - challenge is to use digital images.

My Time To Craft # 72 - 'Neglected Or Forgotten Stash'! Use something you haven't used in ages or something that you bought, forgotten about and haven't used as yet! For me, I used the clippy that I haven't used for a long time.

For the bag, I designed the scallop bag and the 3 x 3 card with envelope with my pazzles machine. I think it turned out quite nice. I've also added a liner to the bag which can be put on the outside or inside of the bag.
