Christmas in July Challenge #3

Here is my entry for Challenge #3 over at Cardz TV with Mary.  We had to make a Christmas card using ribbon, lace and/ or buttons.  For my card I used ribbon.  My card is standard A2, the reindeer is cut @ 3" from Create-a-Critter.  I have been wanting to use him, I think he is so cute.  The Merry Christmas is heat embossed w/white embossing powder.  I used Christmas stickles for the nose and scarf.  I embossed the green paper with Cuttlebug snowflake embossing folder.  Had fun, thanks for stopping by!

Blog Awards

WOW!  What a nice surprise upon returning home from vacation.  My husband and I went to the lake for some rest and relaxation and it was great, but I did miss my cricut:)  I received two blog awards from Nicole. I feel very honored because I have only had my blog for about a month.  I was very nervous about doing the blog, this gives me a little more confidence to continue doing what I enjoy and sharing with others.  Just as so many others have inspired me, I too hope I can inspire someone.  I made this cards for Nicole, to just say: "THANKS".  I love her blog and she makes such cute things. Her card was my first attempt at heat embossing.  I heat embossed the letters onto the flowers it was fun!  Thanks again:)

Happy Birthday!

In honor of my husband's birthday yesterday I created this card!  I used the Celebrations cart.  I have not used it in a minute.  I know it does not seem manly at all, but it is not for him, just in his honor:)  We had a great day yesterday, he is the best!  The cupcake is cut @4".  TFL! 

Snow Business

I created this card for the CardzTV "Christmas in July" challenge.  The only requirement was to use a snowman.  I used the snowman border from Doodlecharms cut @ 3".  The card is 4" x 8".   I stickled the noses, Orange Peel and the snow edges, Icicles.  The faces are Peachy Keen Stamps and chalk for the cheeks.  I used a ruler edge to make the shape of the snow.  The sentiment is computer generated, it says, "There's no business, like "SNOW" business.

Ooh La La

This is my entry for the Throwback Thursday challenge.  Emma wanted you to use an animal from Zooballoo.  Since, I did not have Zooballoo, I used my Animal Kingdom cart.  I wanted to do something a little different, so hence my sassy horse.  The horse is cut @ 3.5".  The sentiment is computer generated.  Bling for the necklace.  Silver and white gel pens for the trim.  The pink paper is from DCWV Sweet Stack.  Thanks:)

A BIG Thank You

I am trying to make cards in advance so I am not always rushing to make needed cards.  So I started with Thank You cards.  Here is one I did with Create-a critter.  The Hippo and all layers are cut @ 3".  The cards is A2.  Hope you enjoy!

Love

This is my take on Made by Momo, Love challenge!  The card is A2, the seahorses represent my husband and I.  I am so blessed to have him in my life, he is my best friend:)  I used Create-a-Critter cart.  The seahorses are cut @ 3.5", I used the flipped feature (on the Cricut) for the blue so they could face each other.   The heart is cut @ 1" from page 45.  The sentiment is from a Inkadinkado set called, Love and Friendship, from Joann's.  I used Xmas red, cotton candy and frosted lace stickles.  I hope you enjoy it, thanks for stopping by!

Throwback Thursday Challenge

Here is my attempt at another challenge.  Emma over at My Creative Time had a challenge that requires you to use New Arrival, so I did.  I think it came out pretty good:)  The card is 6 x6.  The squares are cut @ 2.5" and the moon, flower and butterfly are cut @ 2" and the bootie is cut @ 1.75".  I used pink and yellow stickles.  The pink paper is recollection from Michael's and the pattern paper is from a pack I found at Ross.

Some Rain Must Fall

It is so rainy here today, so I decided to make my version of a card I saw over at http://www.creativedelightsbynicole.blogspot.com/.  I loved it the moment I saw it and told her I would probably scraplift it.  I used my new cartridge, Paisley,  for the umbrella cut @ 3.5", rainboots 2" and EDPD for raindrops and puddles cut @ 3" and 2.5".  Tiny umbrella brad from Brad Outlet.  Black and Baby Blue stickles:)  The saying is computer generated.  I hope you enjoy it!

Yappy Christmas!

This is my entry for Christmas in July, over at Cardz TV.  Mary had a color challenge: Pink, Green, Red, White and Black only w/ a Christmas Theme.  Wow!  I was ok until she added the color PINK.  I do not know if I like the card, but I am glad I challenged myself to try and step out of my box.  Thanks Mary!  I used Paper Pups.  The dog is cut @ 2" and the gifts @ 2 1/4".  The card is 6x6.
