Back to School Challenge WINNER

I have a new challenge winner to announce....yeah!
Before I post the winner of our last Design Time Thursday Challenge, I wanted to share some information about how & when we choose winners.
All winners are chosen randomly from among all of the eligible entries.  
Those not leaving comments, not linking back to CCR, or not following challenge requirements are not eligible to win.
There is no specific date that we post winners .....so checking back often or becoming an email subscriber is the best way to find out if you have won.  I have a search bar on my right side bar so if you search WINNER you will see a list of posts that announce past winners.
You have 2 weeks to use the Contact Me Form above to send me your email and claim your prize.  After 2 weeks any unclaimed prizes go back into the prize pool for future challenges.
Those not using the Contact Me Form are not eligible to win.....because a regular email will likely go to Spam and not be seen by me.
For now only U.S. residents are eligible to win due to the high cost of postage.
I really want challenges to be fun for my loyal Creative Cutter Room fans.
I want to encourage participation on my site by offering prizes, so if you have suggestions on how we can make the Challenges more fun let me know.
The only thing I won't do is have a specific date for winner announcement, because those less loyal will only check into my site on those dates.
I hope everyone understands and will play along with me and my wonderfully talented design team as often as possible.
NOW....for the WINNER!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

Wedding Album: Momenta Inspired

For my family.....weddings have been in the air!
I have a nephew getting married really soon......and an older sister that was married last month.
I was thrilled to see the wonderful projects by my design team because I am looking for inspiration to create a Wedding Card for my nephew's upcoming nuptials.
If you haven't seen their wonderful cards stop by our 
Wedding Challenge Post and check them out!
Here is what I have been working on for my sister.
I love the Wedding Collection from Momenta and used their wonderful papers and cardstock to create this album.  I have not finished with the inside yet, but I wanted to share the finished cover with all of you and remind you to join our Challenge.

Here is a close up of the Silver frame from Michael's with a Momenta Die Cut in the center.
I created the pink flower from some ribbon in my stash and then glimmer misted some white I Am Roses flowers to match the pink & blue my sister used in her wedding.

I used a lot of products from my stash including ribbon from Hobby Lobby, Prima floursih, I Am Roses butterfly with gems, and a heart doily from the dollar store.
I played photographer for her reception so I plan to get some of the pictures developed and then give her the finished album.  
Hope this inspires some of you to share your Wedding creations with us in our current Creative Cutter Room Wedding Challenge.
~Hugs~

Tip Tuesday! Remake Reuse!


Good Morning Friends,

This is DIANA L. from DL.ART with Tip Tuesday at Creative Cutter Room. My day to share a tip with you. I tend to pre-cycle more than I recycle. I prefer to buy things that have less package and are fresh at least that is in the food prep area.  My art studio is another story, it is a world unto itself. I filter my own water and only buy canned sodas for other people when there is an occasion.
I have to say paper, textures and patterns are some of my favorite things.

So with my video I will show you one of the many things I recycle. On Wednesday come back to my blog because I have finished it  to look even different than the video showed it at the end.






Thank you so much for stopping by to visit  I sure hope you enjoyed the tip and it will be useful for you.
 If you did use it let me know

Have a blessed day, Diana

Wyoming Travels

Hello Friends....for the second week in a row I find myself in the Cowboy State...YeeHaw!
First my family decided to spend Labor Day at Flaming Gorge enjoying this beautiful site.  
This was the view from our campsite....WOW!
Family Hike 
A challenging game of HORSE

I am really working up a sweat on this chapter!

A visit to Swim Beach girls on the raft and our dog Smokey swimming out to check up on them
Good Dog~
I swear I was moved to tears viewing God's amazing splendor!
Kylee's camp job was collecting fire wood.....she kept us warm all weekend....what a sweetheart
Mom worked hard too.....or hardly worked....I can't remember!

I was a Dutch oven diva: My kids loved the chicken & rice bake and the confetti cake.
Saying goodbye to the Dog Days of Summer....hello Fall!
I am in Kemmerer, Wyoming this weekend where some wonderful Creative Cutter Friends asked me to bring a Cricut Swarm their way 
(a swarm is a gathering of Cricut owners for some crafting fun)
So I have 6 fun classes and 1 School Themed Layout to share with all of you when I return home.
For now check out the awesome location for our Cricut Fun!!!


Thanks for letting me share some wonderful Wyoming memories.  
If you are interested in having me bring a Cricut party to your state......contact me......I love creating classes for folks that share my love of crafting.  
Thank you to my wonderful Swarm Sponsors
