2013 Graduation Card

Ok, on to what's been keeping me busy this year.  This first post is a graduation card I did using Cricut Craft Room and the Birthday Bash Font!  Very fun.

Back to School bulletin board

Well, back to school is  in full swing and I just completed our first bulletin board of the year! Well, actually I did it a week and half ago, but I'm just now posting it!  I really wanted to do a train theme and decided to try to incorporate all the events for the PTO that we have scheduled so far and this is what I came up with.

I used the My World cricut cartridge to do the train, the Nate's ABC's for the clouds and words, and the Birthday Bash for the HOOVER letters.  The kids love to see the changes we make to their board every month, so this year I have some really colorful boards planned.  Now lets see how well I execute them!

Fantabulous Cricut contest - Beach

Fantabulous Cricut has a new contest this week.  Water theme.  I think this fits!  I used the Life is a beach cart for the Gecko and BEACH, BABY letters, Birthday Bash for the banner.  Simple but I like it!

Father's Day #2?

 

And here is the second design.  I used the tie from Designer's Calender (there is also the same tie on Paper Doll Dress up) and Birthday Bash cart for the rest.  I like all of these colors together, very manly!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge 108

Oh, I can't believe it's been almost a week since I last posted, but what a busy week.  I've had several job interviews and a birthday party for my dear sweet Brooke.  So tonight I stole a little time to pound out a card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday contest.  I love this week's challenge, trains, plains, automobiles or however you travel.

I used the Holiday Cakes cartridge for the car and license plate and the Birthday bash for the card.  The card itself was cut at 4 3/4, so it will fit nicely in a 5 X 5 envelope.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous week and that this wonderful weather we're having here in Oregon will hold out just a little longer.  Here's to hoping!

Mojo Monday Challenge #234

Well, this is my card for the Mojo Monday Challenge. I had such a hard time with this design. Mostly just deciding what to put on it. But I settled on yet another Easter card. Easter is my fave! I used the Straight from the Nest cartridge for this gorgeous little nest! And the circle card came from Birthday Bash. Now I have to walk away from the craft room for the night...AHHHH!

Mini Strawberry cards

Mini strawberry cards to go with my Strawberry Baskets! How stinkin cute are they and so fast to do! The card is from Birthday Bash cricut cartridge and the strawberry is from the Preserves cartridge, which has so many cuts on it that I love, but I don't use it as much as I should!

Birthday Invitation

Well, we are home from Portland and I have to say that there is nothing like getting away from home and stepping outside the house to get the creative juices flowing. I took my gypsy with me on my trip and decided to design a little. I still can't get everything the way I'd like on this card, for instance I tried to weld the SHADOW cupcakes from Doodle Charms together to make a "cupcake" card and that worked fine, but when I went to layer the second cupcake over it, it didn't fit right. These are the challenges I face with the gypsy. So I had to cut the scallop circle card from Birthday Bash and mount my cupcake over the top to make it a card. And I know I'm probably not making a whole lot of sense, but if you saw it in person you would understand.
My daughter is turning 10 and having a cupcake decorating party...HELLO, how much fun is this going to be! (to clean up, eek) But I love her to pieces and I hope she loves her birthday card.

Challenge Me Monday 102

This card is for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge. The challenge was to put a cat in your card in some way. I had such a hard time getting a design that I was really crazy about! But this is the end result. A cute little happy birthday card!

Happy Birthday

I don't know how I feel about this card. I got the idea, of course, on line. I used Create a Critter and Birthday Bash. Fun kids card and there are so many birthday parties coming up this month. Create a Critter is a cartridge that is so versitile and I use it SO much right now.
