Hippooray!

Hello again!

This card is for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge. She wanted us to make a card using Zooballoo Cricut Cartridge and I must admit this is the first time using this cartridge. I have owned it for a while now, but haven't found a reason to use it. I hope you enjoy, now to the card....

The base of the card is Brocade Blue by Stampin Up. The Hippo is cut at 3 3/4. The grass was cut at 5 1/4 using fit to length The clouds were cut at 2 (I think). The stamp used is from a stamp set from Clear Dollar Stamps. The flower in her hair (because lets face it she needed something) is random and the brad is from Hobby Lobby.

Thanks for stopping by!

Keep on Trunkin'

This is a card I made while I was in the mountains on vacation. I just love the images on Create a Critter they are so cute.

I used paper from my scraps to make this card so I do not have a list of the items used. The ears are made with DCWV glitter paper. You may not be able to tell from the photo, but it turned out cute.

As you can tell this is a very short post, but a cute one!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Sweet Baby

Hello everyone!

I hope you all have enjoyed your extended weekend as much as I have! I took a trip to the mountains of NC it was beautiful. The weather was wonderful it stayed in the low 80 the whole time. While I was gone I thought it would be fun to take some crafting supplies with me and sneak in a card or two. I have been wanting to participate in one of Emma's challenge since she started hosting them, but I could never find the time. So I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try and make something.

The card base is white from Paper Trey Ink. I inked the edges with chalk ink by Colorbox. I cut the bassinet using the New Arrival cartridge at 3. I used a Martha Stewart paper pad that I found at Walmart on clearance. The background paper is also from that pad. I used DCWV glitter paper for the trim pieces for the bassinet. The pink ribbon is random and the green flower trim if from Hobby Lobby.

Thanks Emma for hosting a challenge and for those of you who stopped by.

Stripened to Perfection

Hello everyone!

This card was made for fun. I didn't need to make a card for anyone in fact I don't know what reason I would have to give it to someone. The sentiment was cute and it fit the card perfectly so I went for it. I like making cards for fun with no one in mind to give them to. So here is how it all came together...


The base of the card was made with cardstock from Papertrey Ink called Hibiscus Burst. I love this color such a perfect pink. The pattern paper was from my scraps so I don't know what collection it's from. The daisy border was punched with my Martha Stewart daisy punches. Love them!! The Zebra was cut at three using Create a Critter. I love this cartridge!! Have I told you that before?!? The flower in is from a brad collection I bought at Hobby Lobby. I love that store!! I just wish I had one near me the closest one is and hour and a half away. The bow was made with my bow maker and the ribbon if from Walmart.



The sentiment is from Clear Dollar Stamps and the collection goes well with the Create a Critter cartridge. I like the stamps, but I wish the collection had more card friendly sentiments.


Thanks for stopping by!

Get Well / Gone Fishin

Hello again,

So this is my first attempt at a masculine card. What do you think? Honestly, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. As you can tell for the most part my style is cute and girly, but I do have to restrain myself sometimes when I do my nephew's pages. Although I have been known to put a flower or two on their pages ;o). So now to the card...

The base if from Papertrey Ink in brown. The pattern paper is from DCWV stack called The Guy Stack a must have if you need a masculine card every now and then. I cut the cute sign from the Everyday Paperdolls cartridge and used my markers to bring out the cut lines. I then hand wrote "Gone Fishin". I don't normally use my handwriting on a card or scrapbook page because I think I have terrible handwriting, but I thought the sign needed something. Now that I look at it I don't think my handwriting is that bad...right? All I can say is if you are worried about how your handwriting take your time and practice..practice..practice! Now, the fishing pole was cut using the "Just Because" cartridge. It may not be layered right, but hey it looked good to me :o) I added a google eye to the fish and because it look so real I was tempted to write "don't eat me", but I didn't.

I hope you like my card for today, thanks for stopping by!

Get Whale Soon

Hello!

Here is a card I made for a friend's son who was having surgery. It's always sad when little kids have to have surgery, but he is doing well so that's a blessing!

The card base is from Stampin Up. The rest of the card was made using scraps from Stampin Up paper sorry I don't recall the colors. I purchased some Stampin Up paper from someone on Craigslist and she gave me her scraps so they have come in handy when cutting out images with the Cricut. I'm sure if you are a Stampin Up fan you can figure out the colors :o). The Get Whale Soon was printed on card stock and punched out using the large heart punch from Stampin Up. The bow was tied with my bow maker (love that thing!!) The ribbon is random from the Dollar Tree.

So a quick and simple card made using my FAVORITE cartridge Create a Critter! The images are so cute and a must have for any Cricut lover!

Two page layout "Are you ready 2 play"

I'm sorry the photo is so dark. I am working on getting better equipment to take better pictures so keep a look out for that. This layout was for my nephew Cooper. He was playing when the photos were taken and by the way they were super cute pictures of him. Sorry don't mean to tease!

The background paper used was from a paper collection I bought super cheap at abcdistributing. If you can catch them with scrapbooking supplies you can find some great deals. Anywho...the letters were cut from my Learning Curve Cricut Cartridge. The ribbon used was from Michaels. I thought the ribbon was really cute with the flowers printed on them, but when I got home I found out it was really stiff and hard to tie. So it worked out using it this way and the colors matched perfectly. The flowers used where from a set I also bought at abcdistributing. Gotta love ABC...lol!

So I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by!
