Father's Day Card

I created this card for the My Pink Stamper challenge hoping I can win a Cricut Expression - pretty good prize eh? My six year old is pretty sure she needs one of her own - not too sure about that :-)
The cricut cartridges I used were Animal Kingdom for the moose, Give a Hoot for the grass and Lyrical Letters for the letters (I welded "for you" together with my gypsy.
For this challenge I was originally intending to enter a "dad" word book to give my husband with pictures of the kids. I started making it, but upon further consideration I decided not enter it in the challenge because in the rules it stated that it had to be an original idea and I got the idea from one of Robyn's videos. So I decided to make this card for my own Dad instead. Once I complete the word book I will post it though for your enjoyment - it is looking really good!

Wedding Card

Here is a wedding card I made using the Wedding Solutions cartridge. There are some really pretty images on this cartridge which I bought with my wedding and my siblings' weddings in mind - I haven't used it much though so I am going to have to get with it! I have A LOT of scrapbooking to do!!! This card was made for the Cricut Cardz Challenge this week which was to use brads or eyelets in your project. I used white bitty brads for the buttons on the back of her dress and black eyelets in the corners. Hope you like it!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #11

For this challenge we were asked to create a project using at least three flowers. I cut out three flowers using the Sweet Treats cartridge and started thinking about how to incorporate them on a card then changed my mind. I have not been doing much scrapbooking lately and decided to get a layout done tonight. The flowers as stated above are from the Sweet Treats cartridge and the title "My Sweeties" is made from the Jubilee cartridge and welded together with my gypsy. Hope you like it!

Cricut Cookies!

Today I made sugar cookies with my Cricut Cake machine! It was fun, but I gotta say it takes a bit too much time for me, maybe I'll stick to cake. It would have been better if I had used a few mats instead of just one. If I just cut the cookie dough and left it iced with just icing, it would have saved a lot of time too! But nevertheless, I did have a lot of fun doing it and had no problems cutting the dough as long as I had it in the freezer for about 10 minutes before cutting. Hope you like my creations!

Stamped Background

I made this card for the Heart 2 Heart challenge this week which was to stamp your background. I used CTMH stamp sets "Love is in the Air" for the flowers and flourishes and "Piece of Cake" for the Happy Birthday sentiment. The paper is from the "Topstitch" line also by CTMH. I stamped the background on colonial white cardstock using Blush and Chocolate ink. I used glossy accents to adhere the clear button (also CTMH) to patterned paper then trimmed around with an xacto knife. I stamped an extra flower in Crystal Blue and attached it with a foam square to give it dimension. I realized after I finished that the blue and pink that coordinate with the paper pack is not what I used - it should have been Baby Pink and Heavenly Blue, but I still think it looks fine! Hope you like my creation!

For You Owl Card

I created this card for a challenge over at the Cricut Cardz challenge blog.
The owl I used came from the Give a Hoot cartridge. The leaf border is from Lyrical Letters and I welded the two together on my Gypsy (which by the way is my new favorite toy - sooooo much fun!!!) The "For You" sentiment is from Gypsy Wanderings. One down side to the Gypsy is that once you prepare your mat and save it for later, if you have a bad memory like me, you have a hard time remembering which cartridges you used for each individual image.
I added some googly eyes after and think it made the owl look so much cuter - and I love cutesy! Hope you like my card!
Please take a look at my other creations and perhaps even follow my blog!
Have a great day!

Boxed note card set

Hi everyone! For this weeks Fantabulous Cricut challenge the task was to create a 3D project featuring the colour black. I chose to make this cute little set of three cards and a little box to put them in. The box was cut using Wild Card, the bicycle is from Stretch Your Imagination and the flowers and butterflies are from Gypsy Wanderings. The cards are all 3X3 in size. Another fun project!
