CTMH Cricut Artiste Birthday Card

I finally got the chance to use my CTMH Artiste Stamp set: Birthday!  I love the colors here.  I also cut with my cricut.

Soccer Birthday Card

Brought to you by:  THE SIZZIX ECLIPS!  Surprise!  Love the soccer theme, tis the season!

Robot Card

I found this cool paper at Craft Warehouse on clearance for .10 a sheet and I finally found a way to use it.  I found this robot and gears svg for free on line and used my trusty Eclips to do the job! Add a little cuttlebug dot folder and there you go!  I love the way it turned out.

You'll see in my next couple of posts that I'm into Birthday cards right now.

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #105

This week's challenge on the Fantabulous Cricut blog is "Egg"cellent...somehow use an egg in your card layout. I found a rooster on the From My Kitchen cartridge and used the My Mind's Eye Miss Caroline paper to make this little unconventional easter card. I love the colors, peach, grey and pale yellow.

Another attempt at Brooke's Birthday Card

Okay, I like this version a little bit better. I cut the cupcake from the Doodle Charms cartridge at 5.25 and it fits perfectly into the envelope I'm using. This second version just pops!

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.

New York - Spring Break Challenge

This is my entry for Our Creative Corner. The theme is Spring Break and I say GO BIG! Big Apple that is. I used the Tim Holtz Distress Ink, which, quite frankly, I'm just learning to use and could use some lessons on when and where to use it. For the city skyline I used the Plantin Schoolbook and the Paper Doll Dress Up. This is definately a different "look" for me.

Little Lamb, or big lamb!

I don't know if I'm allowed to do this, but this is another entry for Fantabulous Cricut. I used the From my kitchen cartridge and the gorgeous paper is "Authentique". I made several projects with it.

Blast Off!

My 6 year old had a birthday party to go to yesterday and I made this card up the night before. And get this, when I went to get his birthday present I found an actual ROCKET to give him for a present! Seemed appropriate!

I found the rocket on Just Because cards cartridge! There is so much on this cartridge for any occassion. Well, gotta BLAST OFF! myself, he he he.

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!

Birthday Challenge #46

This is my entry for Birthday Sundaes challenge 46. I love the blue brown combo! I used the cuttlebug A LOT for this card.

Mojo Monday Challenge #230

This is my entry for this weeks Mojo Monday Contest. I was digging through my Stampin Up stamps just for kicks and grins and came to this great set called clowning around. I loved it when I bought it, but think I've only used it once or twice. I still love it just as much now. It's bold and fun and screams...."color me"!

Challenge Me Monday - Fantabulous Cricut

I designed this card for Challenge Me Monday at Fantabulous Cricut web site. I'll post the link below. The challenge this week is to use ribbon in your work, which I didn't think I did much, but in looking back at some of my cards, I use ribbon more often than I thought. This web site gets me excited about the cricut every time I log on! I absolutely love these women!

So back to the card, I made it using the cartridge Stand and Salute. It is one of my faves. There really is so much versatility to it. I see something new everytime I look through the book.

Here's the web page if you want to check it out!

Sweatheart Round-up

This is my MOJO Monday entry. I went to the craft store this weekend (well, of course I went to the craft store) and found this amazingly adorable pink paisley paper! I had to do something with it, right? Sooooo, here it is! The paper is Heidi Grace Designs and the boot is from Just Because Cards Cricut cartridge and the HOWDY comes from an old stampin up set I have called Cowboy Kid.

Mojo Monday Contest - Sailing away

I am entering this in the Mojo Monday contest this week. It is the first contest I've ever entered and I'm hoping it goes well. Right now the cloud prints are my fave! I used the Cricut for this card, Just Because Cards, Plantin Schoolbook and Stand and Salute!

Cricut card

This is a card I saw in the Cricut Card magazine and loved the way the colors work together. Plus, hello!, I got to use the Cuttlebug. Geez I'm a nerd!
