We've got a treat for you at All That Scraps this month... a mid-month special release! The new Birdie Day set and coordinating dies will be available in the ATS Store on Thursday November 15th! And to whet your appetite, the Design Team has prepared projects for today's sneak peek!

     

Here is my make using the new set, which I am crazy about, by the way!! It is so versatile, and these little birdies are the cutest!!

I created a little scene by sponging some clouds , and popping all the images up on foam adhesive against the background. The birds, tree branch, and birdhouse are all part of the new set. The birds are cut out with the coordinating CC Cutters Chickadee Die, and the leaves are from the new CC Cutters Four Seasons Tree Die.

         

     

Birds - Y38, Y35, Y32

Beaks - YR18, YR15, YR12

Birdhouse, Branch - E47, E44, E43, E42, E41

         

I'm also entering the following challenges:

MarkerPOP #10 - color on anything but white (I used kraft for the birdhouse and branch!)

Papertake Weekly - Flower Power

The Pink Elephant - Punches / Dies (Chickadees and leaves are die-cuts)

Happy Tuesday sketch fans! We've got a fun twist for you this week along with another great sketch from Melissa!

     

    

This week's sketch is sponsored by The Beary Scrap... a fun online shop home to the Tear Bear Patterns. Cute stuff!

    

Now onto the sketch... this week is a Judged Challenged, so there's a fun little twist... you must create an animal with punches (or use Tear Bear patterns from our sponsor) as part of the sketch! This was a first for me, and really quite a challenge! I don't have many punches, so I had to be creative with my dies! But, I had so much fun coming up with this, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

    

My idea for my punch art Panda came to me when I was rummaging through my die collection... I thought the olive in my CC Cutters Tini Glass Die would make the perfect eye shape! I also found this cute Bamboo Forest digital paper from Jazzy Patterns on Etsy, and it all came together!

     

   

Head - Spellbinders Oval Nestabilities

Body, Feet - Spellbinders Circle Nestabilities

Ears - 5/8" Circle Punch (Recollections)

Eyes - olive from CC Cutters Tini Glass Die

Arms - CC Cutters Mini Banners Die

Nose - negative from CC Cutters Snowflake Die

   

This was such a fun challenge for me, and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for our twist this week!

Just a quick post tonight... I whipped up this simple little card today just for fun!

       

This is the new Latte Monkey stamp from All That Scraps, and I like to pretend that Christine designed this one with me in mind! :) She combined two of my favorite things in one image - monkeys and coffee! And even better - a punny sentiment to match! Yup, this was a must-have for my collection! :)

    

         

Monkey - E37, E35, E33, E31

Tummy, Ears, Face - E01, E00, E000, E0000

Coffee Cup - E41, E40, Blender

    

I pretty much love this card! Clean and simple, and it incorporates some of my favorite things. I will probably just keep this one for myself! :)

   

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:

   

That's all! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
