Fantabulous Cricut challenge #64 - Wedding Wishes

The challenge at Fantabulous Cricut this week is to make something wedding that incorporates the colour white and a bell. I got married in 1999 so when someone says "wedding bell" I think of those tissue paper- honeycomb bells. That's what I tried to make for this card.



This shape card is made with my Gypsy and the Sweethearts Cricut cartridge. The bells are actually cut from the Jolly Holidays cartridge but I needed to trim the ribbon and bottom a bit. I cut each bell five times, folded them in half and glued them together. Once the glue was dry, I glued the bells to the car. I used some thin ribbon (on sale at Michaels this week) to "tie" up the bells.

Thanks for looking!

Grad card 2011

This card is made with only one cartridge - Birthday Bash. All I added was a bit of floss and some pop dots. You could make this type of banner card in any school colour combinations. Quick and easy!

Father's day card

June is a busy card month for me with birthdays, graduations, Father's Day and end of the school year. I'm glad I have started the process with this card.



My new favourite cartridge of the day is Block Party! The "Dad" and barbecue (grill in the US) are cut with it. The font is Old West. The picnic paper is by Momenta but I am assuming it is super old as I bought it at a yard sale. The embossed wood paper is to represent my deck. I used Glossy Accents on the barbecue and the letters to bling it up.

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.

Quick cards for the school lunch monitors

I was using cardstock provided by the school so I wanted to make simple cards that I could put together in bulk. Of course I had to add some of my own paper from the Grade School stack by DCWV. These are the first nine I completed.



I used my Gypsy to hide some cuts on the lunch box so I could put the sentiment on top of it.

Radish/soccer layout

I know, it's a strange combination...



For this layout, I used paper from the DCWV Market Garden stack. The journaling tags are from the stack as well.The radish is from the Just Because Cards Cricut cartridge and the font is Birthday Bash. Everything is inked with brown ink.

DD's card for me

Things have been busy around my house lately. We had my grandmother staying with us to escape the flooding in her town. So when my daugher handed me my invitation to her school volunteer appreciation tea, I didn't really notice her drawings. The next day, I looked closer and realized that she drew the things I do for her and her school.



She drew a school bus ( I walk her to the bus every day), a pizza ( because I volunteer for pizza lunch), she drew a Cricut ( because I often cut things for the school), she drew my bulletin board which you can see here and she drew a cracker to represent bringing special snacks.




So sweet!
