It's a Girl!

One of my colleagues is having a baby girl.  It was her last day at work and we had a mini going away for her.  This is the card I made for her.

I used Cricut carts:  Pop Up Neighborhood for the buggy, Elegant Edges for the matt and Birthday Bash for the banner.  I used the cupcake Cuttlebug folder to add dimension to the matt.  The paper is Webster's Pages petite papers,  and Stampin' Up card stock.  I added bling, a Maya Road bow, brads, ribbon, twine, puffy and bubble alphabets. 


This was a very quick card to make.  Very fun and very well received!

2 Year Anniversary

 A friend at work and I share the same anniversary date of October 4th.  We also share the same office.  We have been working in the same profession for a long time, but came together a couple of years ago to this new office/job.  We figured we should celebrate.  Since it will be close to Halloween and it is in fall, I chose these colors.  I will change out the Anniversary piece and do another piece like the top portion that says, "Halloween" after our anniversary.  We are sure the others at our office will think we have gone nuts, but hey, I think they do already!  We will bring snacks and maybe some refreshments that day as well. 

Sorry about the photo.  I am aware the colors don't look great against my table, but I don't really have some place that would work better yet.

The letters are for our names.  We have distinctively different personalities so there are two different kinds of monsters.  I'm sure she is gonna laugh when she sees it.  She is the gabby one, so she gets the one that looks like it is doing so.  Maybe a little risque!  on my part.  She may want to "love tap" me on the back of the head for that one!  lol! 

I used DCWV Ghosts and Goblins.  Such fun papers!  That is last year's Halloween set as I could not get my hands on the Midnight Spell.  I'm okay with that.  They are awesome! Bright and fun!

Cricut Cartridges:  I used Birthday Bash to make the banner, the word ANNIVERSARY and the number 2,  Happy Hauntings for the word HAPPY, Ornamental Iron for the black iron frame and Accent Essentials to cut out the circles between the scalloped circles.  I used Punches to cut out the scalloped circles.

I made the rosettes by taking a 12x12 piece of paper and cutting it into two inch strips.  I then scored it at every 1/2 inch.  Fan fold.  Glue ends of two pieces together.  Turn paper so the plain side of paper it facing the table and scrunch together to form a circle.  Glue.  Add embellishments.

I am not sure what company the stamps are from.  I have all of my stamps in a binder and this one doesn't have its name on its plastic.  Why don't they put the name there?  Oh well, they just don't get credit!

O Canada! Pennant

Made this pennant for the Cricut Circle contest.  It is much more simple than many I see, but I like that it that way!  It shows what Alberta is without a lot of "fluff"!  I love fluff, but Alberta is beautiful and simple!  I am thinking I may do another one for my house for Canada Day!

The banner is from BB.   It was the one cart that was mandatory.  The maple leaf is from ACY!  (Have I said enough yet how I love this cart?)  The horses and Alberta are from OW.  The crest is from CAC but I cut off the top to have the Alberta Crest shape.  Rose petals are leaves from AE.  I cut of the stem part and turned so the pointy part of the leaves are in the center.  The center of the rose and the leaves are from the Cuttlebug Chrysanthemum.  I dipped the centre into glue and then flock.  It looks pretty cool IRL.  The idea came quickly to me and I think it went together pretty nicely.

I am using my carts and my stash!   I am glad that many girls/guys are trying to use their stash.  It helps when there is a bunch of of us working together.  It works with spending and it works with not spending!  lol!

Happy Birthday

I made this for the Cricut 5th Anniversary E2 contest.  I know there will be a lot of amazing entries!  I'm not sure if mine will make it there in time.  If the courier doesn't think it will make it in time I'll keep it and use it for myself.  I think it's pretty cute!  The letters have bronze glitter on them.  The top monkey has fluff on his little tummy.  There is not one "embellishment" on here, only paper!

Boots

I made this mini book for my daughter a few weeks ago at a scrapbook weekend.  This is her absolute best friend.

Boots was having a blast trying to catch a gopher that had gone down this dirt pile we had at the back of our house.  It got really dusty.  She made a dirt storm!  She was covered in dirt.  We howled when she stuck her head way down the hole!  It was so darn funny!

I didn't think to write down all of the carts.  I may have missed a few, but I used a few more in my quest!  The target was not on a cart that I could find, so I created one.

I got to use my new toy my husband got me:  a Cinch! Such a great toy!
