Hand-Picked Card

Hi everyone! Here is a card I created for the challenge last week at Fantabulous Cricut. The challenge was to create a project using at least three flowers on it.

I created my card using the Freshly Picked cartridge. The planter box with tulips was cut at 5.5" wide which was 2.83" tall on my Gypsy.

The gloves were cut at 2.5"

I used one of the 5X7 folders from the Freshly Picked Cuttlebug Companion folders for the pink background, then zig-zag stitched aroung the edges.

The sentiment is from the My Pink Stamper "Fruit and Veggie Puns" stamp set.

Hope you like it!

April Showers Blog Hop - Day 1 / #57 Celebrate with Flourish

Hi everyone! Welc0me to the first day of the April Showers blog hop hosted by Creations with Kathryn! If you have arrived here from Cricuting with Lisa then you are in the right place. If you have just happened to stop by my blog then please head over to Creations with Kathryn to start at the beginning! You don't want to miss a thing, there are so many great projects to get you in the springtime mood!

I know I am ready for a little spring - it has been a long cold winter here so it's nice to see the snow finally melting!

For today's project, I made this layout called "Spring Showers" featuring my two oldest children outside in the first rain of 2009. As you can see, there was still snow on the ground but my daughter still had to get out with her new umbrella!

The Cricut cartridges I used for my layout are:

Celebrate With Flourish - Umbrella (cut at 3.5") and "Sping Showers" (cut at 3").

Freshly Picked - Rubber Boots (cut at 3")

Hope you like it!

#3 Freshly Picked - Tacky Tuesday Challenge

Hi everyone! I joined a group on Facebook called Tacky Tuesday's Challenge. The group was started by Theresa and Ruth where they are going to have a challenge once a month featuring a specific Cricut cut! This month, they chose the lettuce from the Freshly Picked cartridge and we had to use the word lettuce somewhere on our project. As you can see, my card is definitely tacky LOL. I was trying to think of something original and this was what I came up with. The baseball cap and glove are from the 3 Birds on Parade cartridge.

Hope you like it!

Spring Planting Layout

Hi everyone! Today I created this layout of my daughter and I planting our flowers in the Spring of 2008. I am not much of a gardener, but I have always like planting flowers. However, they usually don't survive all summer because I am notorious for forgetting to water the poor things. I made this project with this week's challenge at Fantabulous Cricut in mind. The task this week was to create a project with a gardening theme. The Cricut cartridge I used on my layout was Freshly Picked. Hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!
