Wedding Card - Vintage True Love

I love bright and vintage, this one says all that.  I had the parts to the card readily available and this card came together in about 5 minutes.  I had a collection of wedding cuts from Tie the Knot and happened to have TRUE LOVE cut in red with a white shadow.   The base of the card was leftovers from a set of invitations.   Used the swirl Cuttlebug folder and then put a grayish ink on the top to bring out the embossing.  Tag was purchased from ETSY or Ebay.

Doctor Visit Layout

I got some doctor related cuts in a swap this last month with the intention of using them in a doctor visit layout of my granddaughter.  The cuts were a little small, so I grouped them together and put on circles.  The sticker given to her by the nurse was also used on the layout.  The white box will be used to journal her stats for the day - weight, height, etc.

Valentines Spool Swap

OK I GIVE UP - IT'S GOING IN SIDEWAYS

Had this one all ready to go for 2 weeks waiting for the challenges for Valentines Day projects.

I have tried 10 times to get this picture to post the right direction, I give up.   This was a spool swap that I did on the Cricut message board.  I used 3 spools.   Yes those are cupcake liners, also used lace, paper, and a heart on a stick from the $1 store.  The Cricut cut is Celebrate with Flourish.  Added lots of bling in the way of stickles, roses, stick pin, and ribbon/rickrack.  I really like how it turned out.

3D Snowflake Ornament - Version 2

Here is version 2 of the snowflake ornaments.   This one is definitely a lot more 'girly' and 'showy'.  I like both versions.    This one uses flowers from the Artiste Cartridge.

3D Christmas Snowflake Ornament

I made this snowflake ornament by starting with the plastic snowflake from the $1 store (3 for $1).    The boy and snowman was cut layer 1 and shadow from A Child's Year.  The PEACE banner, upper snowflake, flowers, and leaves were cut from Artiste.   Used Stickles to decorate, and hot glue gun to put it all together, popping up the cut-out with foam squares.   

I have another version that I'll post later this week.   These are going to be gifts to relatives and/or gift tags on larger gifts.  I would like to make some in a blue palatte as well.

Decorated Candy Corn Pumpkin

My project for today. I'm giving this one to the neighbor, and will make a similar one for myself.
Pumpkin is about 14" tall. I painted the top and bottom white and yellow to resemble candy corn.
Artiste cartridge: Halloween cut once in black and once in white at 3". Spider cut at 2", Skull cut at 12.5" (its a separate cut from the rest of the skeleton). Artist used for the 3 flowers, cut at about 3.5". Spider web cut at 4".

Moveable monster: I think was cut at 2.5", but is about 8" high.
Ribbon was a re-use from a gift basket. I used orange, black, and diamond Stickles. Attached with double back foam tape, arching the web, and only one piece to hold up lady monster so she jumped off the page.

Breast Cancer Card

I'm on a roll.   Several posts this month.  It's not that I haven't been creating this year, it's just that I forget to post my projects or forget to take pictures.

Since this is breast cancer awareness month, I am sending off several cards.  Here is one I made with some Darice stickers I purchased a few years ago.   A co-worker of mine is going through radiation and chemo right now.  I'll add a gift card and send it off to brighten her spirits.

Hearts and butterfly is from Tie the Knot cartridge.  

This is entered in the http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.com/ challenge for this week.  Please visit their beautiful work.

Mr. and Mrs Card

Here's a card I whipped up in about 1/2 hour.  The hardest part was finding a great background paper, so I dug into my G45 Old Curiosity Shoppe.   Tie the Knot Cricut Cartridge.   Wedding colors were black with gold accents, and the girls had rust/orange flowers in their bouquets.

Happy Fall Y'all

This is a picture frame I made for a swap on the Cricut message board.  I am really happy with the results, and part was by accident.  I brought a 'sprig' of fall flowers/leaves for another project and this sunflower came with it.   Accidently put it on the frame and an idea was born.  I want to make another one so I can fill it with a pic of my granddaughter at the pumpkin patch.  Her name is Joan, and there is a pumpkin patch with attractions/activities called Joan's Pumpkin Patch in Livermore, CA.  Some day she will think it belongs to her.

CRICUT --- Fall from Old West,  pumpkin from EDPD, leaves and girl from A Childs Year.  On the pumpkins, I cut off the curly leaves since they were so small.  Inked all edges of frame.  Paint is just 59 cent paint from Michaels.

4th of July Mini Album

This is a special 6x6 mini-album that I made for a friend of my daughters.  I met them on the 4th of July and for some reason I took a lot of pictures of everyone, including these friends who came to celebrate.  My daughter asked at the time why I was taking so many pictures, more than my usual.  Things happen for a reason.  The dad passed away unexpectedly a month later. In celebration of his life, I made this for the mother and daughter.  He was sure a hero in their life.  I am only showing a few of the pages.

Submitted to BBTB2 challenge. (http://heather-bittenbythebug2.blogspot.co.uk/) Wording is Carousel and Don Juan.  Red banner is a Cricut cut but I can't remember where it is from (besides my stash).  Remainder is Mrs. Grossmans stickers.
