Craftin Desert Divas so you don't miss out on a thing. If you have arrived from Robin's blog  then you are in the right spot. 

Here is the project I have created for this hop...

 

This is some cardstock I had from a stack that I got a few years back.

I used it becasue a while back I was playing with this stamp set from Unitly and

stamped images from it all over a pink piece of cardstock, just playing but

I knew I wanted to use dew drops from the Robins Nest for this project

I thought this would be pertect.

The butterfly is a MS punch.

The sketch is a Mojo Monday sketch!

Hi! It 's Laura here at lauraleesdream!

I have to thank Deezy for inviting me to be her guest.

My blog is lauraleesdream because mostly I share about my passion

which is scrapbooking, stamping and making cards.

I love to own scrapbooking stuff... I am a paper addict but

 it's all good because I am a Design Team Member for Creative Kuts

and when Cheryl sends me a file I can pick through and find the perfect paper.

We do BAP's (Build A Project) every week and also Crops On Line

 

I  have a Cricut which my granddaughters love to use and I

am teaching them to use it themselves.

I have an Imagine which I love also.

My new love is my Silhouette Cameo. 

As a Design Team member for Creative Kuts

 I was hand cutting all the files but now I have

my cameo I can do anything.

 

I have 3 children, all over 20 and my youngest daughter is

just starting to getting into crafting..

She does not scrapbook or do cardmaking

but she loves to colour digi's and she does a great job...

I also have 5 grandchildren... the girls love to craft anything..

They make cards or colour or whatever they can get their hands on..

 

Today I have chosen to show you my May Creative Kuts project

for the Design Team....

It is called Treasured Memories...

I had a blast with this one....

 

 

 

 

I also want to show you a project I have already shown

 but it is my very favorite file from Creative Kuts

Swinging Into Spring

 

 

 

 

 

and Emily's digi from The Stamping Chef

This is her second time using copics.

I thought she did an amazing job for her second time.

I think she is hooked, so it could be trouble!

Her first image is good also but I really like this one...

We are planning on making it into a card...

 

Thanks for joining me today and have a great day!

The first one is a card for Nurses Day.

The digi is from The Stamping Chef....

I coloured it with copics..added some bling...

I put it on an easel card .. the sentiment is one I found on the internet.

 

The second project is my twist on NO SOCKS DAY.  I can't wait for the warm days to get rid of my socks and wear my flip flops all the time......
It is a mini album made into a flip flop...
The file is a bap from Creative Kuts.... I just modified it abit ..
cut out two sets of flip flops to make more pages.. and added some ribbons and
bling and brads.

 

My 3rd project is a card made with a hopping frog....Frog Jumping Day!
It's a birthday card and the sentiment is Hoppy Birthday!! The frog is on an
action wobble so it goes back and forth ...
The card itself is 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 ..
I used some spellbinders dies and a sketch I found...
