Valentine's Day Card

Yes, another Valentine's Day card!  lol!  I made this card for my husband.  It uses Pop-Up Neighborhood for the plane and Create a Critter for the clouds.  I did some hand stitching along the matt and then added some polka dots.

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

My First Paper Bag Album and Video!

Oh my goodness!  I finally got the video uploaded!  It took forever from our very slow server!  It is my first paper bag mini album.  I tried a gatefold album.  A bit ambitious for my first try, but it seemed to turn out okay for a newbie!  As for the video, there has got to be a better way to upload the video than what I did!  I am pretty proud of myself for my first try at both the album and video.  This was made for a very sweet lady who just retired from work.  I sure hope she likes it!

 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!

Horsie Thank You!

This is the card I made to go with the bookmark.  They don't have any similarities, but like I said, I'm eclectic and do different things upon whims!

I just got Four Legged Friends and knew I had to do something with that horse!  He's so darn cute!  At first I was going to go for a more traditional look, but then the light bulb started to shine and I had an epiphany!  Why not do a horse like "My Little Pony"?!   With that in mind, I chose pattern papers and blinged it up!  I cut the bird from Cindy Loo.  The Clouds are from Create a Critter.  I just love that cart!  I go to it often for items to cut!  The sun is from Doodlecharms and the face is from Peachy Keen Stamps.  The grass is from Happy Hauntings.  I made the landscape with different green papers cut at different heights.  I had a lot of fun making this card!  I really like how whimsical it turned out!  I hope she likes it too!

I used 3!!! carts in my journey!  Woot Woot!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a lovely day!

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!

Thanks for stopping by!

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!

Girlie Golf Cart Card

Made this card on the fly for an auntie's surprise birthday party.  Suprise!  It's tonight!  Yikes! I found out right before I left for work this morning!   Whoa, not much notice.  I think it turned out pretty good though.  She loves to golf and her golf stuff is pink.  Everyday Paper Dolls is such a "go to" cart when you are looking for all kinds of things.  I knew it would have what I needed!  It sure made it easy to do a card when everything you need is there!

Mickey Fon got used so that's another one down!  (Okay, a little cheap with only using a 1!  lol!)

Thanks for stopping by!

Bedroom Door

I made this poster for my daughter's door.  It took quite awhile, but she loves it!  I used Tinker Bell, Mickey & Friends and Create a Critter Cartridges.  I used glitter for the wings and only tacked them down at the base so they would stand up more like they were in flight.  I also used tiny primas for the flower gardens.
