Father's Day BBQ Card

I have seen some fabulous cut files to create a BBQ card for Dad. I wanted to see if I could create my own and make our own barbecue/grill.

Here it is! All cut with Cricut cartridges other than the box card file. The food is from Block Party and the sentiment is from Father's Day. The grill *hee hee* is actually a crib rail from Everyday Paper Dolls. (It is called Paper Dolls for Everyday on my Design Space.) I just sliced off the top and bottom and then sized it to my paper barbecue.

I am entering this card for a Father's Day Challenge at Die Cuttin Divas.

Thanks for stopping in!

Hockey layout

My son's hockey team is winless so far in this hockey season. Last weekend he was named "Hardest Working Player of the Game". I wanted to scrap these photos right away to show him how proud we are of his perseverance (no matter what the scoreboard shows).

I guess I should mention that the award is a white hard hat that the deserving player writes his number on.

I whipped this layout out quick using Craft Room Basics for the first time. It was a nice surprise to see it on my Gypsy after updating yesterday.

I love these little hockey skate brads I bought a few years ago!

Have a great day!

Sunny thank you

Memorial Day challenge - honouring our vets

Creative Cutter has a great challenge on right now to honour our vets. This challenge came up just at the right time for me! A neighbour is retiring from the Canadian Military after many years of service.



For this card I tried to make a picture of him at work. The helicopter, figure and clothing are all from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. The camouflage paper is by Creative Imaginations. The sky paper is a scrap from my pile. The maple leaf is from the Destinations cartridge and the cloud is from Create a Critter. The stamped face is by Peachy Keen and I covered the helicopter to look like glass with Glossy Accents.

I am also entering this card at Fantabulous Cricut for their sky and cloud challenge.

Snowy "delights"

Well, I know I haven't been posting around here lately. We just had such a busy and wonderful Christmas holiday that I didn't scrap a thing. (Honestly, nothing) I spent a lot of time with my friends and family doing holiday activities such as going to the Nutcracker ballet, tobogganing, sleepovers etc.

Anyhoo, today is a friend's birthday. She just returned from Hawaii and is feeling the cold and wind and snow...



I am entering this card at Fantabulous Cricut. Their challenge this week is a snow challenge called snowy delights.

Lake layout

This is a layout that I loosely based (very loosely) on a scrapbook page kit by Monique Griffith.

I am proud of my little tube that I created with the Gypsy and the George cartridge. It really looks like the actual tube! I used embroidery floss for the tow rope. The paper is Core'dinations, put through the Cuttlebug and sanded. It is ripped and pieced together so I could have 12 inches of "lake".

I took these pictures outside so please ignore the leaf that blew into the shot...





Monique has been recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. I made this card (of course, a shape card) to mail to her. If you are interested in mailing a card of support, you can get more info here.

Layouts

The challenge this week at Frosted Designs is to use something from around the home on a layout. I used a shoelace on this layout of my daughter tying her shoes for the first time.



The running shoe is from the Pink Journey cartridge. I cut off the paper laces and added eyelets. I attempted to hand cut a Nike swoosh to match my daughter's shoes. I used glue dots to secure the lace with a nice, neat bow.

This layout is of my son's homemade Plinko game. He decided one day he wanted to make this with a board and some nails. It took him a long time and a little help from his friend to get it complete. The finished game actually works well.


The hammer from this layout is from the Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. The brads are from the dollar store.
