Shore do love you summer fun card, Fantabulous Cricket challenge #65

Hi Everyone.
Well I just came in from looking at my oranges.  Poor things need water sooooooooooooo bad.  No rain here in about 2-3 weeks.  I have the prettiest brown lawn.  Oh well it will rain sooner or later.  Sooner please.  Today's card is for my grand-daughter in Mass.  She is 10 and loves swimming in her big backyard pool.  Now that it is finally warm enough to swim.  Thought she would get a kick out of this card.  I am also entering it into this weeks Fantabulous Cricket Challenge a card with a sun on it.  I am pleased with the way it came out considering that I only had a tiny piece of the blue water paper and I wanted to make two cards.  Check it out.

Isn't she just adorable?  Card is A2.  Papers are torn scraps.  Star fish, shell and sentiment stamps from Stampin Up. Crab and Co. set. (retired).  Little girl stamp is from Me and my big Ideas.  Clouds made with Tim Holtz broken china ink.  Sun is cut from Life is a beach (I think)  I looked at so many suns that I forgot which one I used.  Peachy Keen face on the stamp.  Fun, easy card to make.
Well that's all for now.  See you later..............play nice.

Monday Challenges

Hi everyone.  I just finished a card that I am going to enter into a couple of challenges.  The first is Digi Monday over at Paper Playtime.  The last Monday of the month is a digi stamp challenge.  This is the first digi stamp I have ever used but I just loved Gillian over at Prairie Fairy Designs.  You can see all of their  downloads HERE  I actually bought three.  Some really nice designs.  I think she came out cute for the first try.  The second challenge is over at Fantabulous Cricut. Monday Challenge #49 is to make a shaped card.
I bought the Nursery Rhymes Cartridge a few weeks ago when Michael's had their $10.00 sale.  I don't think I am going to get too much use from it but I wanted to see if I could use any of the cuts for this challenge.  Well each page has a monogram feature.  I decided to use my gypsy to weld two together.  I hid the monogram.  Then cut a smaller one for the inside layer.  Here is the card.  What do you think?

Recipe:

Card cut at 5.5 tall and stretched to 4.25 wide

Inside layer approx 1/2 inch smaller

Embossed the inside layer with my cuttlebug

Added some gathered ribbon and a sentiment tag that I have had forever

Gillian was cut at 3.75 (Isn't she too cute)?

Well that's it for now till I find something else to challenge me.  I am hoping to get a Flip camera sometime this month the I will have to learn how to video some of my projects.  ANOTHER FIRST.  Yikes!!!

See you later..................play nice.

So Saturday Challenge #2, Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #45

Hi everyone.  I'm happy to be back and posting for two challenges today.  I mentioned earlier that we were doing some construction.  Well it is all done.  Today's post is for two current challenges.  Fantabulous Circut #45 supports a cause. HERE My cause is Prevention of Cruelty to animals. So who better to scrapbook than our rescued kitty, Chelsea.  She was found in a bush at 8 weeks old.  She is now 2 but still has some growing to do.  Right now she gives meaning to the words scaredy cat.  It is only within the last few months that she will sleep up on our bed for part of the night.  She is an indoor cat but loves to watch the birds and chase any poor salamander that happens to wander into the house.  We wouldn't have her any other way.  The second challenge is a new one for me.  It is the So Saturday Challenge HERE.  This challenge is anything Valentine's Day related.  I think the page came out great.  What do you think?

The paper, punch outs and journaling tag are all from a Color Bok page kit.  The sentiment is from Mickey Font cut at 1.83 The heart is from Create a Critter and cut at 13.88.  All the other plane card stock is just from my Michael's stash. I popped the heart up on foam tape and of course added some doodling.
Chelsea is a sweetie.  She loves to blog but her spelling needs a little work.  Tends to repeat the same letter 40 or 50 times.  That is until I catch her.  She also sits on the arm of my chair and rides between my two work tables.
Well its back to work.  Hope you all are safe, warm and out of the snow.
See you soon............play nice

Paper Playtime,Fantabulous Cricut, My Pink Stamper

Hi everyone.  Back again.  This time I have made a card for three challenges.  Robyn over at The Pink Stamper is having a birthday challenge..........Happy Birthday Robyn.  Her challenge is to make a birthday themed card or project.  When I saw Minnie's PINK bow, I thought of Robyn.  Check out her birthday party HERE.  The second challenge is for Paper Playtime Monday Challenge. HERE. Anything party related. Fantabulous Cricut HERE is to use a neglected cartdrige.  Well I haven't used Mickey Font cartdrige since June when my grand-daughter and I made a autograph book to take to Disney World.  I think it came out cute.

This is actually two cards in one.  I made Minnie a shaped card welding two together on my gypsy.  She was cut at 5.25.  I then mounted that card to an A2 card.  (Minnie doesn't stand up too well on her chin).  This way I was able to create a double sentiment space.  Inside says May all your wishes come true.  The paper is from my stash and the front of the card is embossed using the Cuttlebug birthday folder.  Make a Wish is a stamp of unknown origin and the inside is computer generated.  Pretty cool huh?
Well back to work.  I'll see you all again soon.
