DTGD - Challenges R Us

Well, it's official. The Dare to get Dirty challenges for this year have finished up but you still have until August 1st to upload your images for a chance to win prizes :D I didn't get a chance to participate much during the week of the challenges so I thought that I would make it up all with these two cards!

Are you ready for the list? Yes? Ok, then...you asked for it ;) This sweet little cuttlekids monkey qualifies for these challenges:

And...this adorable butterfly card qualifies for all of these challenges:

DTGD10CraftyCaro, DTGD10DeborahLynneS, DTGD10Flowergal36, DTGD10notimetostamp, DTGD10DebDeb, DTGD10AmberDawn, DTGD10SuzanneJDean (The Butterfly Effect)

See! I was making up for lost time ;) This collection of challenges came about when I was assembling designer papers and went to my master list of challenges to get ready to make these kid's birthday cards. I circled a pile of challenges off the list and went to town to create these very simple, yet cute cards.

My kids have a birthday party to go to tomorrow (the butterfly card) and then the monkey card is for my nephew's 3rd birthday. His mom and dad call him a little monkey so I thought that it would be kind of fitting :D

Hope that you enjoyed looking at these and I can't tell you enough how handy theses cuttlekids dies are when you have some kid's birthday cards to crank out! lol

A Snake for Jake

I just thought that I would pop in today and share a fun card that I made for a birthday party that my son went to today. I used one of the cuttlekids dies that I bought for my munchkins and put together this silly snake card in under an hour (that's record time for me! lol). The race was on this morning when I realized that I hadn't made a card to attach to the present yet - yikes!



If you haven't tried these cute little dies yet then you don't know what your missing especially if you have little ones around! I just think that they are so adorable and are certainly a life saver when you are in need of a quick kids card :) I may or may not have purchased almost all of the cuttlekids animals available when I found them on sale...but I'm not sayin' for sure ;)

Anyway, I hope that you liked my quickie card for the day and I'm off to see if there is an inner Julia Child's in me...it's dinner time baby! :)
