Boo to You!

Hi Everyone!

Long time, no see!  I finally made a card.  Go me!

Here's my Halloween themed card.  I made this using the Cricut Happy Hauntings cartridge, which I recently purchased.  An oldie but a goodie, I suppose.  Think the images on it are quite fun.

The mummy, cat, grass, and tombstone are all cut from this cartridge.  The web border is a Fiskars punch called Webs We Weave, and the stamp is from Joann's dollar bins.

Would like to enter the following challenges with my card:

Little Scrap Pieces - Halloween
More Than Favors - Halloween
Party Time Tuesdays - Trick or Treat (Halloween)
Crafty Creations Challenges - Halloween Spooks

If you're on the East Coast and are experiencing the effects of Hurricane Sandy, please stay safe.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Fall Colors

Here's a card I made back in August but never posted. This was made for a woman at work to give to a very close friend that was getting married.  Beautiful poem she chose to put on the front, which I typed and printed onto cardstock.  The frame is MS Punch around the Page Doily Lace.  Embossed the  background layer with Divine Swirls.  The flowers are from Michael's dollar bins, and the green swirls are a Sizzix die cut.

I do love the colors, and they remind me of fall. Fall is my favorite season. When you start seeing the gold, orange, and greens of the leaves changing, it's so pretty.  It hasn't quite gotten to that stage yet here in Maryland.  I see some single trees here and there turning orange, so it's coming soon!

Thought I'd enter my card into some challenges:

Die Cuttin' Divas - fall colors -- Hi Ladies!  :)
Papercraft Stars - fall colors
Docerela Creations - photo inspiration, fall colors
Little Scrap Pieces - Thanksgiving or fall colors
The Pink Elephant - photo inspiration challenge

Customized Baby Card

Hi Everyone!

Here's a baby card I made that's customized with the birth statistics and other family information.  I've got these down pretty good now, especially since I've documented them in the past.  It was so much easier to go back to a previous post and see the exact size of the cuts I used in the past.

Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by--I appreciate it!

Another Wedding Card

We had another wedding in our family this past Sunday -- my cousin's daughter was married.   Her colors were pink, white and navy blue.  I made this card for the new couple.

I really like using these birds for a wedding card.  They're from Celebrate with Flourish.  The plain oval was made using a punch, and the scalloped oval with a Spellbinders die. Background glitter paper was embossed with Kassie's Brocade, and I used Divine Swirls on the doves wings. The stamp is from a Fiskars Wedding set.  

I appreciate your stopping by!

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge #83

We've got a real fun challenge this week at 

Die Cuttin' Divas.

Use an elephant in your project!

Elephant Appreciation Day was declared beginning in 1996 by WildHeart® Productions to celebrate the elephant every September 22.

I made this sweet card using the elephant from the Lite Twinkle Toes cartridge.  I was really surprised to learn how many different Cricut cartridges contain an elephant.  Some of them are Birthday Cakes, Celebrate with Flourish, New Arrival, and Paisley.

Our sponsor this week is Cutting Bugs. 

They are providing the September 2012 issue of either Cricut Magazine OR Cards Magazine (winner's choice),

and a multi-pack Megan Elizabeth Sparkle Light Set.  

Go check out their online store!

We hope you'll join in the challenge this week and create a card, layout, or project using an elephant.  Be sure to use a die cut and link your post back to Die Cuttin' Divas.

Looking forward to seeing what you create.
