Holidays!!!

I am finally on holidays.  I have been waiting  for what seems like an eternity for these two weeks to finally get here!  Only problem is is that I am sick, sick, sick!!!  I can not believe it!  I am feeling much too sick to even scrap or do any craft!  ;[  I have a mini album that I need to get done by Wednesday for a girl who is retiring from work, but I just don't think I can do it.  I can only manage to stay up for a couple of minutes at a time!  First my mother got sick for 3 weeks.  Then my daughter got sick for a week.  Then my husband, for a week and who is still sick and now me!  Just in time for holidays!  Getting sick in the summer is just too weird to me!  It is probably due to all of the wetness, molds and fungi that are out.  I had such great plans for these two weeks!  Too bad I wasn't the one who got sick last week... at least I could have used sick time and then maybe was healthy enough to enjoy my time off!

 Well, on my first time out of the shoot I missed the mark!  I misunderstood, or at least I think so, that the posts were to be up by June 19/11.  I thought I was gonna be all ready tomorrow and have it up early.   Well, low and behold a bunch of you lovely girls came by today!  Yikes!


Here is the  layout I made for my dh.  He had taken our daughter to an Angel's game opening night.  He said she had a wonderful time, but most of it was spent watching the peddlers sell their wares... and convincing dad she needed to buy everything they had for her to eat!  I know this will bring back great memories for him.


I used Boys will Be boys for the ball, glove and bat.  The font is from Batman.  The silhouette (how perfect is that?!) is from A Child's Year.  I added some jolees, and some glitter to the letter A.


 My journey on using all of my carts continues!

This is a quick card I made for my dh for Father's Day.  I think he can enjoy himself catching up on moving the grass, roofing...  lol!  The grass was made with Martha Stewart scissors.  The grass on the card looks as long as ours does here!  It has been raining for weeks!


I used my new Cricut Circle Cart:  Pop Up Neighborhood for the mower,  Doodlecharms for the sun, A Child's Year for the font(I almost didn't buy this cart because I thought I would never use it!  Wow, was I wrong!)  and Create a Critter for the puffs of smoke.  The sun has a "Peachy Keen" smile. 

Here is my blog candy.  Become a follower and leave a comment.  If you become a follower, say so in your comment and I will put your name in twice.  I will draw from all of the names with comments on this post.  The winner will be announced by Tuesday June 21 and the prize will be sent out by the 27th of June.  Canada Post is on strike so I will drive to the border on one of those two days if you live in the States.  If you live in Canada, sorry girls, you will have to wait for the postal system to get back in line! For all of the girls who left a post on the prior post as this one was not up, your names will also be entered.

Thanks for hopping along with us. Remember, if you leave a comment on every designers blog hop post, your name will go into the drawing for the for the blog Candy affered by ChatterScene.

Thank You!

I made this for a girl at work who has peacocks.  She gave some of their gorgeous feathers to my dd.

I used French Manor, Mother's Day Bouquet and Sentimentals cartridges.  The paper is DCWV,  SU! and Bazzill.  I made the flowers with MBD and then used the Cuttle Bug Quilling Chrysanthemum for the center.  The leaves were also made with the Cricut.  I always make a big batch and then store them.
 My wording is a little off.  The glue I used stuck it like cement instantly, so I was a little disappointed with it, but the rest of the card was done and I didn't want to start from scratch!

Thanks for stopping by!

Monsters Inc.

I made this "quick" card for my nephew's son's birthday.  I say "quick" with my tongue-in-cheek because anyone who does Disney knows nothing they do is simple.  It's still cute.  I cute the images at 5 1/2 inches but would recommend making a bigger card as it is still pretty tricky to do at that size.

If I keep using all of my carts like I have been, it will be no time at all and I will have used all of them at least once!  Woot woot!

Child's Play

Using a Cricut is very easy.  Ask my 11yo daughter!  Here is her very first, without any help, card!  I think she did a very good job.  She made it for my birthday.  I never looked to see what cart it was from because I "wasn't allowed to look"!

First Acetate Card!

I have always wanted to try one of these cards!  I used Cricut Essentials for the label.  The inside piece is from Bo Bunny.  They have come out with some really cute papers this year!  I added some  butterflies and Tim Holtz ribbon.  I also added a little bit of yarn and a metal butterfly to the side to give it a bit more flare.  I made the envelop to go with it.  I used the Martha Stewart scoreboard.  Wow, does that make it easy!
