My Pink Stamper - Challenge 10/10

The challenge was to use Pink, Purple, and Green in a project. I designed 5 sets of these pieces for a layout on my CDS while watching the live upstream on Friday night. I cut and assembled them last night. Definitely not a 1/2 hour project. My colors are light light purple, light and medium pink, light blue, and I put them on a green glitter background. Stickles for the face of the snowman. Enjoy. Carts: SnowFriends, Speaking of Winter, When It's Cold Outside.

My Pink Mini Album - for a Swap

These are pics I made for a mini album swap. The person loves pink, purple, black and BLING. She had taken a trip to Vegas with girlfriends.

Nor Cal Swarm - Crop for the Cure

Hi -- I had a blast at the Nor Cal Swarm this past weekend. 140 ladies, most with Cricuts, spending the day scrapbooking and Cropping for the Cure in Rocklin, CA. There was door prizes, cartridges for everyone, food, silent auction, and a raffle for a Pink Ribbon Quilt. I loved to shop, and did my share. While walkin around I saw ladies working on cards, cruise and Halloween layouts, and Monique's kits. I borrowed the Paisley cart from a new friend, and went to town cutting lots of words and hair dryers (my daughter is a hairdresser). It took me two nights to put this layout together and visits to two scrapbook stores to find the "ribbon" paper. I used lots of carts on this layout. (Home Accents, Home Decor, Cindy Loo, A Childs Year, George, Indie Art, and WIMG) It was fun, yet emotional to make. I am going to write the names of friends who have survived breast cancer around the edges of the pages. Enjoy.

Making Tomato Sauce

Every year we go to Modesto to make tomato sauce with our cousins. It is hard work but we have sauce for a year. We pick the tomatoes, wash them, cut them, grind them, cook them, and jar them. We usually jar about 100 jars and our cousins do 300. All you see in your head is RED for a week. Used Freshly Picked for the signs and "tomatoes". From Your Kitchen for the "sauce" and tomatoes on the bottom right.

We'll Have Fun Fun Fun

I got this idea in my head for a row of old cars from the Heritage cartridge. It came out pretty good.. I changed the lyrics of course to match our purchase of our Tbird from Andre's cousin. She won it on The Price is Right in 2003. It only had 2000 miles on it when we brought it. Smells new still.... we already have 5000 miles on it in a little less than a year.

Father's Day at the Ballpark

Finally scrapping this layout of the guys on Father's Day last year. Cricut Plantin Schoolbook used for the lettering. Got the mitt and "play ball" in a swap and knew it was for this layout. Isn't that background paper cool. "Take me out to the ballgame"

Catch of the Day - Andre and Kenneth catch the big ones

I used the Pagoda, Plantin Schoolbook, and Campout Cricut Cartridges to make this page. I really like the colors. I was tired of the same old campout style layouts and got this idea in my head to make it fancy. Turned out well. Stickles on the fish and pole. One of my favorites.

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.

4th of July Decorations

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.
