Pagoda Dragon card

This is a very masculine card I created for my nephew. Used the Pagoda cricut cart for the dragon. Wanted a "dark" look to this card, so roughly inked in black on the red and white paper. smudged (ok it was an accident) the silver dots, it looks really cool. If I had the time, I would have added silver brads. The white paper is textured and very appropriate for this card.

Earthquakes Soccer game

Here is a layout that went together rather quickly. Always quick if you have the right embellishments and paper. Friends and the two of us at the soccer game in Santa Clara a few weeks ago.

I used "A Child's Year" to create my wall decorations for the 4th of July. Cut the fire engine and kids at max size, shadow first, then cut. Put them up as decorations on my cubicle at work.

Aunt Marge's Garden

Entering this in the Fantabulous Cricut Crawl. (http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/) under the Die Cut flower power, Shadow, and Inked categories. The colors went so well together in this simple layout, and I was so happy with the results. the orange box under the flowers will be used for journaling.

Mothers Day 2010 - My mom

I wanted to remember my mom today, it is our first Mother's Day without her. Last night I finished this layout, there are a few more to go. She was a lover of the garden, fushia's being one of her favorite. I thought the flower arrangement was perfect during the services, and wanted to capture that in my layout. Cricut used for the hearts, sunburst, and gates to heaven. Stickers and perals for a little bling. Happy Mother's day to all.

Pebble Beach Food and Wine

Andre and I went to the Pebble Beach Food and Wine Event in April 2010. We didn't know anyone but had loads of fun. Lots of wine, cheese, tastings, and strolling. Look for more posts soon from this event. Inked around frame and borders. Cuts are from Cricut "From My Kitchen" cart. Frame is a challenge from BBTB2 for April, modified, of course into Martini flowers. I didn't even realize these frames existed on this cartridge.

AUTISM card challenge

The puzzle piece is the autism icon. We were to make an item using the puzzle piece. My entry is:

I know, I am really behind in my scrapping. This is a two page layout of our cousin's St. Joseph's Day feast. It is full of food and giving thanks to the simple working man/woman.

Nashville Layouts

When on a business trip last year, I went a few days early and spent time with my friends. We went to Nashville to see her son's band. We stopped at the Opryland Hotel and walked through the lush greenery and atrium. Just awesome.

Oh (My) Christmas Tree

I wanted to create a keepsake of a few of my favorite Xmas ornaments. I have over 75 49er ornaments, and always get an ornament from places I go on vacation.
