Amazing Race Christmas card - day 2

I guess this card is pretty non-traditional. My inspiration was a tv show. This summer, our family watched Amazing Race Canada with our close friends. We had no idea that their neighbour and his son were going to be contestants. Therefore, we sat on the edge of our seats for the entire season watching episodes together. We were all so proud when they won! (I have to add that the neighbour competed and won with parkinson's disease) That is the story behind my crazy card. I made it for our viewing friends and may just make another for the winners.

Rainbow Loom layout

If you have a pre-teen daughter or grand-daughter you know exactly what I am talking about when I say Rainbow Loom. This crafting tool is a hot item this fall and my daughter and her friends have been looming like crazy. Therefore, I knew I needed to scrap it...

I took my inspiration from the box for the Rainbow Loom. My daughter generously agreed to loom an embellishment for the layout.

Here is a screen shot of my Cricut Craft Room project. I actually used the negative cut of my letters and glued the rainbow colors behind it.

Thanks for looking!

Lego layout

My son loves Lego so we knew we had to visit the Lego Store while on a family vacation last year. Of course, I had to scrap the pictures!



The font for this layout is Opposites Attract but I fattened up the letters a bit with the Gypsy. The journal tag-Lego block is welded rectangles from the George cartridge. The letters and mats have all been Cuttlebugged with the Polka Dots folder to look like Lego.

The Star Wars paper is by Creative Imaginations. My son chose the paper from Archivers to match the Star Wars Lego statues/creations.

Space Aliens

I love using the Gypsy to manipulate images and fonts to go with a layout!



I couldn't find an alien face similar to this one on any of my cartridges. This is a heart and a circle welded from Indie Art. A touch of yellow chalk and ta-da... a layout for my kids because they l-o-v-e Space Aliens.

The glitter paper is by Core'dinations.

Cross-country layout

This is my son's second year of fall cross-country meets. His school walks to a nearby beautiful, tree-filled park. The students run races against other community schools. I enjoy watching the meets and feel so proud of my son.

Last year, my layout for these races was all done with the Sports Mania cartridge. So this year, I wanted something different. A layout that shows the lovely fall we are having as well as the awesome meets.




I am entering this layout for the following challenges:

1. Falling Leaves at Fantabulous Cricut

2. Anything but a card at Made by Momo

3. Sports theme at My Creative Time

Udderly amazing

I made some quick thank you cards for some special people yesterday with the Gypsy.
