Lucky

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I made this card for my Grandma because that's how I feel to have her.



I am entering this card for a "I See Leprechauns Challenge" at Creative Cutter Room. Their design team has some super cute St. Paddy's projects posted today!

Simple sympathy

I had no mojo yesterday but still needed to make these cards. I, Tracey, vow to make a set of sympathy cards at my next crop so I always have some on hand.



I think the Core'dinations paper makes them pretty! The butterfly is from the Roy G. Biv stack and the blue is from the Vintage Collection. The butterfly is embossed with the Polka Dots folder. I distressed everything with DH's sand paper then cleaned them off with a Dust Buddy.

I am entering these cards at Getting Cricky with K Andrew. One of her challenges this week is called, "All a flutter."

Shape card - Fantabulous Cricut

Of course I had to enter the shape card challenge at Fantabulous Cricut. I love making shape cards! I am very busy these days with DS's hockey playoffs.



Yesterday, I made a banner for their dressing room, then I made a sign to cheer the team on and then today, I used the team's logo to make a shape card for the coaches.

For this card, I used my Gypsy to design the team logo using 8 triangles, 1 square and 1 rectangle. (Geometry at work!) I welded the shapes together and then made a shadow of the logo and welded it with another to create a shape card.

My cheering projects must have worked because they won their game and now advance to the next round.

Wii are Family

This layout has been sitting on my desk half completed for over a month. I started out making a layout for a picture of my daughter playing her favorite Wii game called Wii Party.



I used my Gypsy to copy the logo on the box the best I could. (I have heard that there is a SVG file of the actual font out there)



One day this month, I was leafing through a scrap magazine at a stand and I saw a layout where the mom scrapped pictures of her family's mes (game personas). She came up with the title "Wii are Family". I loved that idea so this layout has evolved a bit. Now I need to set up a four player game with my family and take a picture of our four characters.

The paper for this layout is from the DCWV Generation Tech stack. I think I will use every scrap of paper from this stack!

I am entering this layout for a challenge at Paper Playtime. This week their challenge is to make a paper project featuring any type of technology.

With sympathy card

I am trying to catch up on some cards I need to make and maybe do a few challenges at the same time. This is a sympathy card for a friend in my bookclub. (My "With Sympathy" sentiment stamp wasn't cooperating though so I just had to write it in the inside.)



I love the look of buttons representing leaves or buds on a tree for a sympathy card and have seen it before on other blogs. *scraplift*

The tree is cut from the Wall Decor cartridge. The buttons are from my 5lbs. bag of buttons from the sewing department. I embossed the blue with the Moroccan Screen Cuttlebug folder. The green printed paper is from the Mi Casa stack by DCWV.

I am entering this card at Fantabulous Cricut and Linda's Creativity. Both of these blogs have embossing challenges this week. Yay!

"Arizona" thank yous

I must confess I bought the Old West Cricut cartridge because it was on sale without any projects in mind. Two days later I got an invitation to visit Phoenix, Arizona!



I am now thrilled to have this cartridge in my library to scrap my pictures and of course make thank you cards to my friend who hosted me and my MIL who took over while I was away.

All cuts are from this cartridge. The word "you" is welded with my Gypsy. Everything is inked. I used a wax pencil to try and make the little purple cactus look like the ones I saw. I used my white Signo pen for the pricks. (I loved the cactuses/cacti and palm trees!)

I am entering this card at Frosted Designs. Their Fabulous Friday challenge this week is to create a project without patterned paper.

Classroom valentines designed by my kids

My daughter loves her Paisley cartridge and knew exactly what she wanted to give to her friends this Valentines Day.



My son opted for this one eyeball look. The puppy is from the Sweethearts cartridge.



My son wanted "cool" cards for the boys in his class. The skull is from the Life is a Beach cartridge.



Whew! They are done. Next year, I'm buying the cards...
