BBTB2: Cricut - It has to Rain to have a Rainbow

As I write this post, it's raining and blowing in my neck of the woods, I hope Spring makes an appearance soon, as I am ready to get working on my backyard this year.  All this rain lead me to create this rainy day card with Hello Kitty.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow - One of my favorite songs has been incorporated into my card today.  The title just jumped into my head after staring at the screen for a bit.  Now my card can be used for any number of occasions, as I was originally thinking of a get-well card.  Our challenge theme this week was chosen by our long-time designer at Bitten by the Bug2, Carolyn, from Card Creations by Carolyn, and she wants everyone to use a Cricut 'Umbrella" cut on our card or project.   Hop on over to the Bitten by the Bug2 blog and link up your project or card HERE.

Kitty - Hello Kitty Greetings
Rainbow and card base - Wild Card 2
Font:  A Perfect Day writing font
Background Inking:  Ranger Oxide Inks - 2 different blues

BBTB2: Cricut - Home is where you are

By now my followers know we have an RV and take it out every so often for a long weekend and at least one long trip a year.  I don't have that many pictures of us and the RV, so I made a layout with a trailer so I'll be sure to get some photos to match the scrapbook pages!

I have to credit this layout to Pat Johnson, who shares many designs of hers on the Facebook Group "Cricut Design Space" (just search for her name in the files section). The file is HERE. It was an easy layout when you don't have to think up a design, choose colors, and then cut and assemble, some of those steps were done for me.   It is a perfect layout for our Bitten by the Bug2 challenge this week, which is to "use a WORD from a Cricut cartridge".   Michelle from Crazy Cricut Scrapper is our hostess this week.  She is the queen of layouts.  Join the fun and link up your Cricut inspired project.

BBTB2 Cricut - Teacup and Teapot Challenge - A card for my Aunt

Susan is so lucky to host our challenge this week at BBTB2, and it's "A teapot or teacup".  She always comes up with great projects, so be sure to look at all of the fun creations and link up yours to our challenge.  Here is the link:  http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/.

This is a birthday and Mother's Day card for my only remaining aunt, who is turning 90 this week.  There will be a little party at the retirement home and I'm glad I'll get to see her.

Someone in one of the FaceBook groups created several gatefold cards using Ornamental Iron as the base.  I cut out a few of the bases when the subscription was free.  Just need to decorate as the occasion arises.  I used the Imagine More to print and cut the tea cup and Wild Card 2 for the "You are my cup of tea" inside sentiment.  That is Mary Englebreit paper that someone gave me. (I wish I could get my old printer to print nicer).
