Fabulous Mini Album

The pattern base was started from Paper Phenomenon's Confessions of a Shopaholic pattern.  I had to add my own twist to it.  The pattern had flaps on main pages but with my Cricut I switched the flaps to purses.  I have to laugh because Kathy has produced over a dozen tutorials in the time that I have taken to get this done!  LOL 

Tags from the girls back to school shopping

FCCB Challenge #83- Spooky Time

This week's Challenge is to make a project and include a ghost.  I need to make a Halloween card for a little girl and this is what I came up with. (I better hurry and post so I can mail it to her...)

Mini Monster's Ghost is pull out tag that reveals a Ghostly Message, "Tick or Treat"

The stamps are from My Pink Stamper, Happiest Moments and Spook-alicious

Halloween Memory Frame

OK... I am super excited about this-  I was checking my crafty friend's blogs on Monday and what do I find?  My Creative Time is having a Design Team Call!!! Forgetting that it is "Laundry Day" at my house, I reached for my stamps and thought about a project that would showcase them. (and make a gift for Auntie Laura too)  Here is my entry:

Here is the fur baby Fletcher, dressed as the Flying ACE Snoopy

Stamp is from "My Favorite Sayings", Sunflower is the die from Build a Banner Kit

Fletcher's Tongue is always sticking out, LOL
Paw Stamp- Anyday Bingo & Crossword

Recipe:

Wild Card Cricut Cartridge- Halloween Card, 4 in., layers to match.  I flipped one card and welded the square part on my Gypsy.  This would work without welding.  Just layer the cards.  I cut 4 welded shapes and sandwiched them together with glue.

Leaves for Sunflowers- Wild Card, 4 in.

Banner for Stamp - Wild Card, Frame button 42, 1.25 in

Spellbinders Oval Scallop Die for frame around photo

Flowers- My Creative Time's Build a Banner Kit

Stamps- My Creative Time's: Anyday Bingo & Crossword, My Favorite Sayings. 



Peachy Keen Challenge #63

Peachy Keen supplied a sketch, that you could make into a card or scrapbook page to enter in the Challenge.  I decided to make a birthday card. The girl and balloon die cut is from Cricut Decals, and that cute smiley face balloon is from Peachy Keen Stamps, PK-570.  Sentiment stamp is from Making Memories, All Occasion.

Gifty Challenge- Mini Brag Book

The Challenge: We all love to receive a little surprise . . . just because! This challenge is all about paying it forward and brightening someone’s day! Create something to give away using your Cricut machine. It can be for a holiday, a season, an occasion, or just because. Be sure to include at least 2 Cricut Image Cuts on your project.

I am going to surprise my sister with this girly brag book.  She lives in another state and so does her grand daughter.  She will adore this happy mail to stow all the sweet photos of her grand daughter.  The paper line is Echo Park's Little Girl and some papers from my stash.  I love how I was able to chose cricut cuts to compliment the paper line.  The base is a paper bag album inspired by Kathy Orta's Random Memories Series on You Tube.  I added file cards cuts from "From My Kitchen" to the flaps that fold up to reveal a pocket with photo mats and journal tags.

Let's Face It Friday- Windy

I saw this cute puppy on my Imagine Best Friends cart.  He looks like my dog hangin' out the window and letting those ears fly, LOL.  The dog was originally blue, but if you change the color you lose the face details... no problem-  Get your Peachy Faces and add some character.  I used the PK-493 Everyday Character Face Parts and More. I used my PC to print the sentiment.
