Have a BBQ!

It's Wednesday!! That means it's challenge day over at Cricut Cardz Challenge. Today Mary challenged us to come up with a Cook out or Picnic themed card. One of my favorite things about summer is the BBQ, so I decided to make a card to invite some friends over to a BBQ! Here it is:



Isn't it adorable?? I love how this card turned out. I used Simply charmed to cut the hamburger and hotdog. I cut the burger at 2.5 inches and the hotdog at 2 inches. The cutie face stamps are from Peachy Keen - love them!! The sentiment stamp, which I cut in half (gasp!!) so it would fit on the page, is from MFT. The paper is all Stampin Up, the ribbon is form Michales and I used my black and white Gel pens for all the stitching.

I hope you all hop over to CCC and play along with us :)

You're a Catch!

Happy Friday! It is challenge day over at Flaunt it Fridays. Today's challenge is to use the Fish 2 (Shift button) on P.41 of Simply Charmed. One of my favorite things about FIF, is that I am often challenged to use cuts I would never use otherwise. This is one of those cuts. Here is what I came up with:



I cut the fish at 2.8 inches. The stamp is from Scrappy Moms "For the Boys" set, which I just got the other day :) The paper is a mix of Close to My Heart, Stampin Up and Provo Craft. The ribbon is from the Dollar store and I ran the paper through my Seeing Spots Cuttlebug Folder.

Despite the fact that I wouldn't have normally used this cut, I am happy with how the card turned out. Simple but cute... Hop on over to FIF, see what the other DT members came up with, then flaunt your stuff along with us!!

A lucky card...

Happy Wednesday everyone! It is challenge day over at Cricut Cardz Challenge. Todays challenge was to make a St Patrick's Day card using any cartridge or colors, but no shamrocks.

I got Simply Charmed for Christmas, which I was so excited about! I LOVE how cute this cartridge is! As soon as I saw the cute St Patrick's things, this card lept into my mind. Here it is:












Isn't it cute? The sentiment inside is from Create a Critter, all other cuts are from Simply Charmed. I used one of my cute Peachy Keen stamps for his face, and then decorated him with a little bit of chalk and my white gel pen. I love how cute he is :) The only thing that I might have changed is the size of the pot of gold - I kind of wish I had made it bigger... but I wanted to make sure it fit in an A2 card.

I hope you all come over to Cricut Cardz Challenge and see what DT # 2 came up with, and play along with us. Have a great day!

Cheers!!

This week over at Paper Playtime the challenge is to create a New Year's project. I could not resist playing with one of my new cartridges. Santa was good to me and I was gifted 4 cartridges (yay!!). One of them was Simply Charmed which is so stinkin cute!! Here is what I came up with:



The glass is cut at 2.5 inches, the bottle at 3.5 inches and "cheers" at 1". The faces on this are VERY small - I had to do some cutting and poking to get them to work. The paper is all a mix, but the patterned paper is from CTMH. I think it is a really cute card. I can't wait to play with the rest of my cartridges :)

Come on over to Paper Playtime and show us your New Year creations!

I wish you all a peaceful holiday season and blessing for the New year. May 2011 be wonderful for us all!
