Halloween Layout

Hi Everyone - 

Seems like it has been a while since I posted.  Thanks for hanging in there with my Halloween series.  I finally completed my layout from my daughter's Halloween dance last year.  She went as a Queen Bee.  :)

Just click on the photo for an enlarged image.  I used several cartridges on this layout.  The pumpkins are from Create a Critter.  The phrases are from Mini Monsters. "Queen Bee" is actually from Kate's ABC's  and it originally said "for Queen Bee" but I trimmed the "for" off.  The 2010 is from the Black Letter Solutions cartridge.

Supplies:  Cardstock (American Crafts), Pattern Paper (Cloud 9), Stickles (Ranger), Dimensionals (Stampin Up!), Cricut, Black Letter, Create a Critter, Kate's ABC's and Mini Monsters cartridges (Provo Craft), Ribbon (Offray), & Boarder Punch (EK Success).

Thanks for stopping by.  Have a Crafty Day! 

My Pink Stamper Design Team Call...

Hi everyone-

Robyn (aka My Pink Stamper) is having a design team call for her fabulous stamp line.  Her challenge for this project is:  Make a card, scrapbook page, or other Cricut project with your favorite Cricut cartridge using the following colors......

OrangeTurquoise GreenBrown(other optional color of your choice) There are a few more parameters as well.  Click HERE to see the full post on Robyn's blog and all the other great entries.   A little something that some of you may know is that this was the exact reason I started my blog over a year ago.  I would love the honor of being on this design team because it would be so great to give back to so many who have inspired me.  
My project for submission is one I made using Kate's ABCs.  The color challenge really brought this card together.  I used a sentiment from My Pink Stamper's Everyday Life set on the inside.

Supplies:  Cardstock (American Crafts & DCWV), Kate's ABCs, Gypsy, Cricut (Provo Craft), Sentiment Stamp (My Pink Stamper), Dimensionals (Stampin Up!), Ink (CTMH), White Gel Pen (Uniball Signo).

I wish all the entries good luck.  They all look great and I am thankful I am not the one choosing.  

Have a crafty day!

Happy Blog Anniversary

Hello -

Can you believe it is the one year anniversary of the start of my blog.  Click HERE to check out that very 1st post.  This all started for a requirement of a design team entry.  While I did not make the design team I did discover the rewarding process of blogging.  I truly enjoy sharing what I create and I love to hear comments and see new followers.  Thank you to everyone to checks in from time to time. 

Today I am going to share a card I made with my favorite cartridge, Create a Critter.  I also used Kate's ABC's and Home Accents solution cartridges.  I welded the scallop boarder on the Home Accents cartridge to create the card.

Supplies:  Cardstock (American Crafts), Stickles (Ranger), Cricut, Gypsy, Create a Critter, Kate's ABC's & Home Accents Solutions cartridges (Provo Craft).

Thanks for hanging in there with me.  I hope I continue inspiring others.

Mushroom Card

Hi - 

Today's card features Kate's ABCs.  These mushrooms and the butterfly were all one button on the cartridge.  I also used my new Martha Stewart punch on the sides for a bit of interest.  It is called Double Arches and it is a large punch around the page set.  It is hard to tell but I also used some liquid glass from CTMH inside the polka dots on the mushroom and on the body of the butterfly.

Supplies: Cardstock & Liquid Glass (CTMH), Dimensionals (Stampin Up!), Pattern Paper (DCWV), Cricut & Kate's ABCs (Provo Craft), Boarder Punch (Martha Stewart Crafts).

Thanks for stopping by.  I love to read your comments.

Happy Sunday

Hi Everyone - 

I hope you had a great weekend.  We had a little rain but a fair amount of sunshine too.  Today I am sharing another card from Kate's ABCs.  This ice cream sundae just looks so delicious! Once again I made the edge with my gypsy and a border from the Home Decor solutions cartridge.

Supplies:  Cardstock (CTMH), Pattern Paper (Stampin Up!), Ribbon (AC), Stickles (Ranger), Cricut, Gypsy, Kate's ABCs & Home Decor (Provo Craft).

Have a crafty day!

Cat and Fish Card

Hi -

Today's card features another image from Kate's ABCs.  I cut the cat in white but I am thinking it would have looked better in a darker color.  The manual featured a brown cat.  I'm not sure about this card but I thought it was worth sharing because I do like the fish tank and bubbles.  I made the shaped card by welding together a rectangle from George and Basic Shapes with a border from the Home Decor solutions cartridge.

Supplies: Cardstock (CTMH), Pattern Paper (Stampin Up!), Stickles (Ranger), Cricut, Gypsy, Kate's ABCs, George and Basic Shapes & Home Decor cartridges (Provo Craft).

Thanks for looking.  I hope you have a crafty day!

Night Time Owl Card

Today's card is featuring an image from Kate's ABCs.  I am calling it the night time owl since it cuts with little stars.  I made the card by welding a border from the Home Accents solution cartridge with a rectangle from George and Basic Shapes in my Gypsy.

Supplies: Cardstock (CTMH & DCWV), Stickles (Ranger), Cricut, Gypsy, Kate's ABCs, George and Basic Shapes & Home Accents cartridges (Provo Craft).

Thanks for looking.  Comments are always appreciated.
