Peace, Love, Happiness

Here is a card I made for the Cricut Circle NSD Crop: Color Challenge.


I used the Cricut cartridge Groovy Times and the DCWV Hippie Chic stack.

Something Old, Something New



I know you are getting tired, of me using this cow, but it worked for this challenge:



I used the older Imagine carts Imagine More Cards and Kate's Kitchen and used the newer cart Letter Envy to create this 6x6 scrapbook layout.


Mother: A Definition

And here is my final music box.  I bet you already guessed that this one is for my Mother-In-Law. 




All the papers used are from My Mind's Eye ~  Lost & Found 2 the Rosy collection.  Embellishments include items from the same collection,  white seam binding ribbon, various rubons and stickers and black ink.  The cuts are from the Cricut digital cartridges Craft Room Basics, 3D Bows and Mother's Day 3D Corsage.

I am entering this project into the Cricut Circle NSD Crop: Cricut Craft Room Challenge.

Mommy ~ A mini album

Here is the album I created for the second tin I created (see prior post). 




Again, I used My Mind's Eye ~ Lost & Found 2 Rosy collection for all the papers and embellishments.  Cuts are from Cricut Craft Room Basics, Art Philosophy, A Walk in My Garden, 3D bows and Mother's Day 3D Corsage.

I am entering the mini album into the Cricut Circle NSD Crop: Something Old, Something New Challenge.


Music Box ~ All the Best Moments

Here is a second music box I made.  This one is for my Mom for Mother's Day:





I used My Mind's Eye ~  Lost & Found 2 the Rosy collection for the paper and embellishments.  Cuts were made from Cricut cartridge Art Philosophy. 

I am entering this project into the Cricut Circle NSD Challenge: Art Inspiration.


Keep an eye out for the following post where I created a coordinating album for the inside. =)

Best Friends

For this project, I covered a music box.  All the papers and embellishments used are My Minds Eye ~ Lost and Found 2,  the Rosy collection.  The cuts are from Cricut Craft Room Basics, Mother's Day 3D Corsage, 3D Bows and Art Philosophy. 







Once I covered the tin, I created a coordinating fold out mini photo album to fill the inside.

This is actually a Mother's Day gift for my sister.  It also follows the NSD Crop: Recipe Challenge.

Baby Cards



And the baby girl version:



This is the final challenge (it was actually first, but I worked backwards) on Pumpkin Spice.  The challenge:

Make a Card - any size, even a mini.
with the following elements:
- the color Blue,
- something Round,
- at least 3 layers or 3 different papers.

I used the Imagine cartridge Baby Boutique to print my papers and to cut my images from.  That's what I love about the Imagine - all the coordinating pieces are there for you at the touch of a finger.  You don't have to scrounge for matching papers and elements.    The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper's Sweet Baby stamp set.

Able to Leap



I created this layout for Pumpkin Spice's Layout Challenge.  The challenge:

Make a Layout - any size, even a mini album layout.
with the following elements:
- the color Yellow,
- something Floral, Wavey, or Scrolly,
- at least 1 Title .

The yellow and title are obvious and in case you were wondering where the third element is...it's the journaling/caption bubble.  It's WAVEY!  =)  The title and caption were cut from the Cricut cartridge Superman and the photo squares were punched using a Stampin' Up!
One challenge to go!  =)
