Tada, here is my card. I LOVE it. I should have made more. I embossed the tree branch with the Cuttlebug herringbone folder and it looked awesome as faux wood. I added some brown and white twine on the tree branch, not too much though, it would have been over kill.

Birthday Card Challenge

I am entering this card into the birthday card challenge at Cards by Jovan. I made the cute little hummingbird from the Cricut Imagine Lori's Garden. I love that little bird--its so cute!

3x3 Card Challenge

I made this 3x3 card to enter into the Cards by Jovan blog Challenge. The challenge is to make a 3x3 size card. I decided to make a boy card since there is always a lack of them in my stash when I need one. Hehehe.

I think it looks cool for a boy to receive.

Christmas Holly Jolly Ice Skater card- Challenge

This is one of my first Christmas card of the season. I guess its nice to get a jump start. I made the girl from Cricut Lite Jolly Holiday at 4 inches (any smaller and I think her skates would have been completely destroyed on the main cut). This is my first cut from this cartridge, so I was really excited to use it. I love the way the ice skater turned out. She is adorable. I hide the facial cuts on her face with my Gypsy and stamped it with my PKS wide eye faces. I put some glossy accents on her dress button. I added some black Stickles to her ice skates, some diamond Stickles to the ball on her hat and some glitter pen to her hair ties. For a final touch I ended up adding some blush (chalk) to her cheeks.

Robotz Boy Birthday Card

I am very happy with the way this birthday card came out. This is actually the first cut I have made from Robotz even though I have had this cartridge for almost a year. LOL. And I LOVE this cartridge now. Next I will be making a layout with it. I mounted the robot on a Action Wobble (which I heart) and made it even cuter. I love the color combo I ended up choosing for the robot and his parts. I actually remember that I had some silver foil paper and cut some of the pieces ("bolts") with it. It shows better in person. I was going to make a movable gear in the background, but I was running out of time. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. TTYL

Challenge- for Terrific Tuesday- Mini Monsters & Cooking with Cricut

Update: October 10, 2011 

I found a blog that has a anything goes challenge. You can enter one of your all time favorite projects or create a new one. So I am entering a Halloween layout I recently did that I am loving. Check out the challenge: http://www.cookingwithcricut.com/2011/10/challenge-54-anything-goes.html .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is my October layout I made to put in our 2011 family scrapbook. I made the cuts from Mini Monsters, Hello Kitty Greetings, Hello Kitty Font and A Child's Year. My daughter wants to be Hello Kitty for Halloween so I put Hello Kitty on the page. I love the colors and the way it all turned out. See the awesome pictures for detail.
