Let's Party

Who wouldn't like these happy guys at the birthday party?  The birthday group's faces are from Peachy Keen's, PK-570, Basic Paper Doll Face Assortment.  This card is an entry for Peachy Keen's Challenge #43 where the project must incorporate elements from a provided sketch.  The faces were stamped on cricut cuts from Smiley Cards and Straight from the Nest.

A Card for Jinger

Provo Craft will be on HSN on Jan 20, 2011, and has a challenge to make a card with Don Juan cartridge and Anna Griffin products.  (There were other cartridge choices but I did not have them in my collection.... gasp!)  So, tune in to HSN and see if my card is somewhere on the set.  Provo Craft is scheduled to launch something new, I wonder what that will be?  My guess is a "new" and improved Gypsy. 

The Love Bandit

Yippee it is Throwback Thursday Challenge time again.  Emma, at My Creative Time, runs this challenge to inspire you to use the older cricut cartridges.  This challenge you could pick any older cartridge but need to include a heart cut somewhere on your project.  I made the cute raccoon from Create A Critter, his stolen heart is from Doodlecharms, card base from Twinkle Toes, and the journal spot is from Fabulous Finds. 

Ellie is 9 !

This darling elephant is from the Twinkle Toes cartridge.  She is going to celebrate my daughter's 9th birthday and is carrying her balloon with a number 9 on it to the party.  This is my entry for the Cricut Circle's Weekly Challenge #14: Getting In Shape!  The challenge was to use a shape other than a rectangle, include a number somewhere, and use some bling.  The shape card is from Wild Card, and Ellie's balloon can be found in the Celebrations cartridge. 

Fish Bowl Shape Card

This little gold fish is from my new Four Legged Friends cartridge which I HAD to have because of that cute dachshund cut.   Mr. Fish layered very nicely so I look forward to playing with Four Legged Friends in the future.  The fish bowl was welded into the a shape card with my trusty Gypsy.  The stamp is a studio g wooden stamp that was purchased for 50 cents at Big Lots and has a fish bowl on it that was masked off with scotch tape. 

My Pink Stamper's Design Call, January 2011

What an exciting way to start the New Year, My Pink Stamper's Design Team Call! My Pink Stamper, Robyn,  has so many talented people creating for her it would be an honor to be a member of this design team. That being said, the likelihood of making the team is slim to none. A girl has to dream, right? Robyn's challenge was to create a project with these colors: Green, Pink, and Brown. With those colors in my head, I thought a frog project would suit those color choices.  I made this shape card from Mini Monsters cricut cartridge. She is so cute with her pink spots! Inside the card I used the "hoppy birthday" stamp from My Pink Stamper's Punny-licious Set.

Cricut Circle Magazine, Thrift Store Find Challenge

On the way to visit my in-law's, I stopped in the Salvation Army Thrift Store looking for some goodie for the Cricut Circle thrift store find challenge.  These wooden trays caught my eye, I thought I could make a shadow box.  Perhaps in a later life, these trays were type-set boxes or maybe some old organization tray for a desk.  With my new Give a Hoot cart in hand, I thought I would make some earthy, peace loving, nature themed shadow box.  As you can see, I switched gears to accommodate my dear daughter's funky style.  All of the cuts are from Rock Princess except the deer who is from Give a Hoot.  The box has some of my daughter's bracelets and rings on display for some extra bling.  This is proudly on display in my Daughter's room, aka, the purple palace.
