Thanksgiving Countdown Board

And this is the final board for the holiday countdowns.  I love the turkey that I cut in chalkboard vinyl for the countdown.  It came from the cricut cartridge Doodlecharms.

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.

Peachy Keen Stamp Challenge - 3D

Okay, this project is for the Peachy Keen 3-D Challenge. The challenge is to make a 3-D project using Peachy Keen stamps (easy enough), but the kicker for me was to make a weather theme. Now I've been kicking around this project for about a week...I'm getting a head start on Easter. In our house we go through Crystal Light and Wylie's Sugar free juices like they're going out of style. I mean, seriously, we should own stock! And I have all of these left over containers and I never know what to do with them, but, of course, I save them, you know, just in case. So here is my recycled version of an easter basket/container for treats (or peeps)!
I used the Create a Critter for the chick, sun and clouds, Doodle Charms for the eggs, and Plantin Schoolbook for the grass. And of course I used the Cuttlebug for textures. Wish me luck, I want to win this one!
