#130 Quite the Pear Card

For this week's challenge at Frosted Designs they are challenging us to use a photo for inspiration, right away when I first saw it I thought of the colors green and white. I decided to make a card for a special friend of mind who just celebrated an anniversary I originally made a different card for her but never sent it out because I didn't like it...I hope you like this one Janis!! I cut the green card base from Sweethearts cut at 5.15x5.15 on my gypsy and cut the marquee from Gypsy Wanderings, the pears are from my free Home Accents cart hooray for Cricut rewards!! I rolled my brayer through my antique linen distress ink then put it on the cuttlebug plate the embossed the marquee. I punched the entire outside borders of the card with a MS punch and also punched the butterfly. I stamped the sentiment and added stickles to it and bling to the pear leaves and one on the butterfly.

#118 Love Bug Card for (Paper Playtime)

For this week's challenge theme at Paper Playtime the theme is Anniversary since it is Janis' anniversary, congrats Janis I hope you have another amazing year of marriage!! The Love bug title is from CAC I embossed with my Cuttlebug and did some inking. The scallop circle is from Accent Essentials and the car is from Sweethearts, I did miss a layer....that's what I get for just using my Gypsy and not looking at the handbooks. I think they should create a function on the Gypsy were you can see a color example of the entire cut just like in the books what do you think?? I added 2 strips of gold christmas ribbon LOL and 3 black blings. All of the paper I used is from the Summer Stack 2010 from DCWV.

#41 Senor Frogs Layout

I just had to make a layout of frogs since there were frog statues everywhere in Mazatlan Mexico. I wanted to make one of each frog from each cartridge. I have to say my fav's are the girl frog and the one with the tongue hanging out! I embossed the lily pads with a Fiskars plate in the cuttlebug. I stamped the background for the title. I also put my crop-a -dile to use for the flowers.

#28 Love Grows Anniversary card

I just love this card that I made for my sis Joanna and her DH for their wedding anniversary. The tree is from SH and I put "JJ" for their intials on the tree. Used cuttlebug for the tree leaves.

#19 Key to my heart card

Another simple and easy card. I was aiming toward the antique look. I used Garnet Martha Stewart glitter for the key, also distressed with Antique linen distress ink.

#8 Valentine's Day Chocolate's card

For this card I used the slider envelope function at 6 inches. I embossed with the Cuttlebug. I got to use my new Martha Stewart Valentine's clear stamps, to create a "box of chocolate's". The flavor's are: White Chocolate Truffle, Chocolate Raspberry, Carmel Kisses, Cherry and strawberry flavor, and Chocolate covered strawberries. My husband called this the tic-tac-toe card LOL!

#5 Great grandma is Smitten with baby scrapbook Layout

For the flower I used my Paisely cart. The frog tag, "smitten" and cupid were from Sweethearts."Boy" is from Storybook.

#4 Anniversary Card

I used the Sweethearts cart for the cake. The bird was cut with the Home Decor cart.
