Jitterbuggin Challenge- Sketch 13 Planes, Trains and Automobiles

This card was created for the Jitterbuggin challenge- you had to make a card using a vehicle following the provided sketch and include a button.  For some reason I had a little trouble with this challenge and finally decided to do a Batman theme (not sure where the inspiration came from).  The car had a lot of little pieces and was time consuming.  The following cartridges were used: Batman: The Brave and the Bold- Batmobile & Bat signal and Plantin Schoolbook- skyline. Pop dots were added to the Batmobile & Bat Signal to add dimension.  Overall I liked the way the card turned out...hope you do to.  Would love to hear your feedback.

Gate Fold Card

My Pink Stamper introduced her design team and invited everyone to join in the fun making a project using a Critter or animal theme.  I made this Gate Fold card which turned out to be a lot of fun.  Cartridges used:  Life's A Beach- Sun, Give A Hoot- Fawn with flower and Plantin Schoolbook- grass.  Other products used Martha Stewart Scallop Dot Edge Punch and the Cuttlebug Swiss Dotts folder to emboss the border.  Hope you enjoy...Love to hear your feedback.

Safari Father's Day Card

Wow I can't believe it's been a little over a week since my last post.  That definitely wasn't my intention.  This was made back in June for "My Pink Stampers Challenge" to make a father's day card (I think...it's been so long I can't quite remember...sorry).  Cartridges used:  Beyond Birthdays- Dad, Animal Kingdom- animals, Life's A Beach- adventure leaf, and Plantin Schoolbook- grass.  Cricut markers were used for the statement and outlining the animals.  I really enjoyed making this card...hope you like.  Please feel free to leave comments.  Love to hear your feedback.

Jitterbuggin Challenge- Sketch 12 Oh Baby!

First, I have to say "HELLO & WELCOME" to my new followers.  You have given me new inspiration to continue to enhance my blog...it will be a work in progress (but I'll get there). 

This card was created for the Jitterbuggin challenge-  you had to make a baby's card following the provided sketch and include ribbon.  I am really loving these challenges...just have to figure out how to add their button to my blog (lol).  The following cartridges were used:  Storybook- words, Accent Essentials- scallop squares, Plantin Schoolbook- letters on square and Pooh Font Set- baby piglet and teddy.  I also used the Cuttlebug- Swiss Dotts folder on one of the squares and Martha Stewart glitter on Piglet.  I really loved the finished card and had a lot of fun making it.  Hope you like it too....feel free to leave comments and or suggestions.  Thanks for looking

Cricut Cardz Challenge #34

This card was created for Cricut Cardz Challenge #34: make a card using a cake, cupcake, cookies or candy and any cartridges, colors or theme you'd like. I don't know why but as soon as I read the challenge Cookie Monster and his love for cookies came to mind (maybe because I just did an Elmo card with the same cartridge). Anyway hope you like what I came up with. Please feel free to leave comments. Please excuse my blog as it is a work in progress. For the card I used my Cricut Expression,Cartridges- Sesame Street Friends and Plantin Schoolbook, pop up dots (for Cookie Monster) and Martha Stewart glitter for the heart.

Paper Playtime Challenge #6 It's A Guy Thing

Hi, this is my first attempt of using my blog and second time entering a contest. I am new to the blog and contest world...just did this for fun. This card was made for my nephew's birthday the "next Lebron James" and he loves the Lakes especially Kobe hence the purple and yellow. I used the Cricut cartridges Sports Mania for the title, basketball border and the player on the inside. The background was embossed using the Cuttlebug swiss dotts folder.
