Use Green Challenge at MCCR

    

Here is today's Design Team project for
Scrapbook Friday over at My Cricut Craft Room.
   
 The theme of the day was to use green...
well I knew I needed to create some Valentine pages...
I would rarely use a lot of green on valentine pages
so I thought this would be a perfect challenge for me.

To create this 8.5 x 11 Valentine layout, I used
Create A Critter and Sans Serif font cartridges.

Please be sure to stop by My Cricut Craft Room to
view the other GREEN projects made by my DT sisters!

Have a great weekend!!
Oh, and be sure to stop by tomorrow for the My Cricut Craftroom 100 Cartridge Blog Hop.

Card Creating Tuesday

It seems like here lately I have been making more cards than layouts.

Here are some of my most recent.

The two cartridges I used for these lil' cards are...
Simply Charmed cartridge... for the sun
Just Because Cards cartridge... for the card itself.

Then I added some paper from DCWV Stack 7,
a little red button to each, and used some
yellow twine to attach the button to the card.

For this card, I used Create A Critter cartridge
to create the cute chick. I also used yellow cardstock,
DCWV Stack 7 paper, orange ribbon, and I printed
the wording on with my printer. I really love
how this one turned out... very simple!

I made this Batman card for my 9 yr. old nephew.
This cut actually came from Anndell McGuire
(a fellow KC Cropper) from the KC Croppers Cut Swap group.
I knew right away I had to make a birthday card
for my nephew with it. The cut was made from
Batman: Brave & the Bold cartridge.
Thanks Anndell!! I used yellow, navy blue, and black cardstock.
Inked the edges and added little bats on the bottom with a marker.




The final card, I made for my Mom...
I used the Spring Holidays Card cartridge
and added a few lil' embellishments.

The Rest Of My Hoppy Easter Projects

I have been fighting some sort of virus this week that has left me literally speechless, so I have been slow getting pics up. Here are the rest of my Easter projects. The cards used the Spring Cards cart, while the bunny on the cake is from Create-a-Critter.

More layouts

Here are some of my layouts from this week...
I try to get them done within 30 - 45 minutes....
as you can tell... they are pretty simple, nothing fancy.

September GCT Challenges

Over at A Cherry On Top, they have some fun September challenges. I have entered Challenge 1- birthday card, and challenge 2- hand stitching. The birthday card is the one I made for my husband's birthday on Thursday, and the hand-stitched layout is the one I made at Shell's class the other night! The card is Create a Critter and DCWV Summer Dream paper, and the layout used Simply Charmed diecuts.

MPS Winter Challenge

This card is my entry for the MPS Winter Challenge. I used Create a Critter for the tree, and (ironically enough) DCWV "Summer Dream" paper for the background.

A Couple of Cards

These are a couple of cards I made recently using Cricut cartridges. The Hello Kitty card was a thank you to a student who gave me a very cute Hello Kitty gift.The deer was a birthday card for my husband's grandma- he even helped me by typing up the sentiment inside! I used Hello Kitty Greetings for the first card, with a little American Crafts Metropolitan paper for the bow accent. The second card used Create a Critter with American Crafts Everyday paper as the background. Both were really simple, but I think both turned out nicely.

Nuts About U Layout

Okay... one last posting for today...
here is a past layout that I created...
using the Create A Critter cartridge.
It's one of my favorite carts! LOVE IT!!

Baby Shower Invites

Kitty and I have been spending the past two days
working on these baby shower invites for a dear friend.
It was a lot of work... especially knowing
that many of them will end up in the trash.
But it was fun creating them... we made 26 in all.
BTW... I absolutely HATE working with vellum and
Kitty HATES lil' birdies... now... after making so many.

Monkey (Create A Critter) Card

I used DCWV paper and the Create A Critter Cricut cartridge
to create this card! Wow... that's almost a tongue twister.
