#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 I decided to make a card for a special friend of mind who just celebrated an anniversary I originally made a different card for her but never sent it out because I didn't like it...I hope you like this one Janis!!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.

#129 Ghouls Just wanna have fun Card

I was so happy when Christina asked me to be a guest designer for her challenge this week for the ribbon and bling theme. I was actually the first person to win her first challenge ever, you can see the winner here, I do this for fun and not for winning! I wanted to do something a little bit different this time so I made a really long 8x4 inch card and rolled some ribbon on the left side. I punched a lacy border from a MS punch and stamped the sentiment on a tag from Once Upon A Princess and added bling with my new toy the i-rock I highly recommend it!! I also added bling to the border. I cut the circle and scallop circle from AE and embossed with my cuttlebug. For the cutie Ghoul I cut her from Mini Monsters, that was my 1st monster cut out I've been missing out, the layering is easy! I added googly eyes kinda crooked on purpose she is a Ghoul afterall LOL, I inked the tag with purple dew drop chalk ink. Come join in on the fun at Card Creations and More for a chance at a cool giveaway!!

#128 It's Gets Better sunflower card THINK PINK!

Here's the card next to envelope.

I made this card for the challenge at Cricut Me That which is in honor of Breast Cancer Awarness month so the theme is THINK PINK. I made this card and envelope from  the Just Because Cartridge except I didn't use the title that came with it. I found this perfect stamp to go with it at Michael's today in the $1 bin, I added bling with my new i-rock and some punched MS butterflies. The card and envelope were cut at 4 1/4x 4 1/4.

Castles, Knights & Damsels in Distress themed cards

I am Queen at  Paper Playtimethis week and the theme is Castles, Knights & and Damsels in Distress, you may interpret any way you want stamps, digis, Cricut or anything else. Digital Delights  by Louby Lou Digital delights by Louby Louwere so kind to make the DT  some digi's for us to play with this week. I chose to make a birthday card for a boy and a girl except I had total scrapper's block this whole week since my hubby has left to Iraq =(  so I am not 100% happy with the way the dragon card came out, I like the princess one more! For the princess card I cut a piece of heart paper and layered with pink and white paper and added purple brads, colored with pencils and added some stickles. For the dragon card I stamped all 3 desserts and cut them out, I also colored everything with pencils, I am trying different techniques here with coloring stamps and digis.

#127 Birthday Blinged Out Forest Tree gift card holder

Attached the gift card to the back of the blue paper.

I am going to write on the blue paper next to the tree.

This week my sweet dear friend Stephanie and her friend Nicole at  Always Craftinghaving a challenge to use bling, buttons and/or brads....I chose bling!! Yay I used my i-rock to put bling in the tree and also 2 purple blings under the cloud and added a pop dot. I stamped the tree in green and cut it out and stamped the black tree and the sentiment. The scallop rectangle and pink bird are from Wild Card, the cloud is from Give a Hoot which is really a flower layer. To make this card it was easy I just folded my 8.5x11 inch in half and cut it to be 5 inches so it is 4 1/4 x 5 to make the opening I used my circle border punch but only cut less than half. I glued the 2 sides down and only glued half of the top, so that the gift card holder will fit.  The blue paper was cut at 4 1/4x 4 then I punched with my corner punch. I am going to write on the side where I stamped the tree and I adhered the gift card to the back of the blue card. I am also submitting this Cricut cardz because their theme is to use a scallop shape I chose rectangle! I also submitted to wee memories for their forest theme this week.

#126 Spooky Pumpkin Patch Card

For Momo's challenge this week it is to make something with black and white and any color of our choice. I made a spooky pumpkin patch card from the october 31st cartridge I love how scary that one is! I didn't want to make this too girly because I'm thinking of giving it to my hubby, what do you think too girly? Is it manly enough? I might make another one instead not sure yet. The black paper was embossed with my Cuttlebug, the pumpkins and the sign are from OCT 31st instead of punching out the letters I drew in the letters with a black marker, sometimes my cricut doesn't cut fine stuff correctly and I get mad!! I did some inking with my Frayed Burlap distress ink and stamped the sentiment and colored it in and I added a brad on the sign.

#125 The City (Fantabulous Cricut, Alphabet Challenge)

For this weeks challenge at Fantabulous Cricut the theme is travel/road trip and the theme at Alphabet challenge is S for scallops it's to make anything with a scallop shape. I used to live in the san Francisco Bay area a few years ago and I am making a scrapbook with the "Living in San Francisco" theme, to show everything that we did while living there. All the locals call San Francisco "The City" to this day I still call it The city, a lot of people say that it's a little New York on the west coast. So now I will tell you about my project I used all old school carts LOL, the subway is called BART so I made myself a BART replica from Going Places and added 2 red buttons to look like lights. The font is from Opposites Attract, the scallop square is from Accent Essentials, the skyline is from Plantin Schoolbook I cut it on silver metallic paper. I added some Prima flowers, brads, did some distressing, and cut some little sayings from patterened paper on the bottom left side.
