Raccoon Valentine's Day card

This is a simple Valentine's card. I cut the raccoon from Create A Critter. The papers were all in my scraps and the sentiment was a Studio G stamp. The heart and raccoon are both on pop dots.

Its A Boy

Another Tommy layout.. I know lol. I used Teresa Collins Imagine Baby Boutique cartridge for all of the pattern papers and the title and used the onesie that comes with the basic imagine shapes and filled with different patterns from the Baby Boutique cart. I popped up the circle that says "baby" with pop dots. I used some trendy twine for the line the onesies are hanging on. 

I used the Purple Pumpkin March sketch. Unfortunately I don't have any Purple Pumpkin products or they'd be all over this thing lol :).

Adorable Girl Layout

I just finished up this super cute (in my opinion anyway lol) layout. I used imaginisce baby powder papers.

I trimmed different papers up to fit what I thought was close to the sketch. I also fussy cut 2 of the circles from one paper for the strip on the bottom of the pics.. and added pink iRock gems (which you can get at ShopPumpkinSpice.com) around each pic and one on the bottom circles (inside the flower). I inked the edges of some paper and inked the background too with pink ink. Sprayed the background with whine glimmer mist. And one of the pink paper strips I pleated. I cut the heart with my gypsy and Cricut Expression 2 using Craft Room Basics and inked the edges. The title is stamped in black ink and I outlined the black in hot pink glaze pen to help it stand out and fit in all at the same time. Hope you like :)

I followed the sketch at Imaginisce this month.

My Cricut Craft Room scrapbook fri - pumpkins

Today is My Cricut Craft Room Scrapbook Friday and the theme was to make a fall page. Well when I think of fall sure I think of leaves, and rain, and cold (all things I love!), but I also think of the pumpkin patch.. which is one of my favorite things to do in the fall aside from halloween and everything else fall and fun lol.

So for my layout I used a few different carts.. the title is cut from Mini Monsters, the set of 3 pumpkins is from Holiday Cakes, and the bottom corner pumpkin is from Disney Princesses Happily Ever After.

Most of the paper is DCWV fall/halloween stacks. The photo mats are greenish blue card stock. I added a journaling tag from kraft and ripped it up a bit. At the top I cut a strip of different brown from the same paper line and used scalloped scissors, then I added some pen work in gold and white to help make it more visible.

MCCR Theme Day Thursday - Football Birthday

It's Theme Day Thursday over at My Cricut Craft Room and the theme today is birthday!

I made this card for my big brother.. he loves football and his fav color is red.

To make this card I used the Life is A Party cart. The card is a red card base.. with a red patterned paper on top & I inked the edges of the pattern paper with brown ink. I tied some red bakers twine around the bottom of the patterned paper.

The inside has a stamped present in brown and brown ink around the edges.

MCCR WYEGW Create a Critter pg 25 - Harmony's bday card

My Cricut Craft Room Would You Ever Guess Wednesday.. today we're to make a project using page 25 of Create A Critter.. thats the page with the owl and apple.

I made this super cute birthday Card for my now 1 year old Harmony.. she had a forest theme party. I cut the owl base in black, and the top in pink. I inked the wings and tummy of the owl white (so it looks more like gray) and left the ears black. I added large google eyes. I have a white base, with a brown layer, then i purple gingham layer that has a "1" cut out (using Cindy Loo). Inside the "1" I stamped "happy brithday" over and over in light pink ink and then outlined the "1" with a pink glaze pen. Then I stamped "happy birthday" again with a different stamp in dark brown"

The owl is on pop dots. and I added some green bakers twine to the bottom and a little bow.

The inside has the same purple gingham and then a pink layer with a pink owl stamped in the bottom corner.

My Cricut Craft Room Theme Day Thursday - Halloween invites

The My Cricut Craft Room Theme Day Thursday's theme was to make invites or party decor for a Halloween party. I made a set of invites. Also, we're now pink if you didn't already know... that means to support breast cancer awareness we're all making projects that have pink somewhere on them.

I used Create A Critter 2 to make my invites. I cut the little skull that's part of the pirate hat of the ghost. I cut it at about 2 inches or so (i used my gypsy so i'm not 100 % on the size).

I cut card bases out of black and they're smaller 4 x 3 (or so when folded) and 4x6 when unfolded. On the black cards I held the skull on the card and inked onto the card with light pink ink (it turned out more on the white side though). And I did the same for the pink but used black ink. the pink is cut at about 3.5 x 2.5 and then placed on the black base. I used a clear stamp from a Recollections party set to stamp "you're invited!" on the cards. I placed it down the side of the black card and along the bottom of the pink.

MCCR Letter L - love card

The MCCR letter of the day is "L" so I used Sweethearts and Old West carts to make a card that says Love (which starts with L).

I cut the letters out with Old West in light pink. Embossed them with swiss dots and the cuttlebug, and then inked with silver ink. I cut out some different sized rectangles in gray (2 different shades) and embossed one with divine swirls and inked with silver ink, and inked the other around the edges with pink ink. I cut a large rectangle in pink (just a little smaller than the card) and embossed with swiss dots and inked with pink.

For the inside I cut some rectangles in dark pink and light pink and inked each with silver ink. I adhered the dark pink on both sides and bottom (leaving the top open to form a pocket for a gift card, money, check etc.) and put the light pink on top of that. I wrote a message in silver ink on the light pink.

My fav part of the whole card is the blinged out ring. This card was a wedding card so the ring was perfect for the "o". I used sweethearts to cut the ring and cut it in white. I added clear/white stickles to the diamond and yellow to the ring base. I love the color combo. I sent this to my friend who just got married (they had a country style wedding hints the old west font).

I cut the whale from Create A Critter. I added some pink stickles to the water coming out of her spout. I also added stickles around the page on random bubbles. I cut some strips of pink paper for journaling on with white pen. And I added a photo mat to 2 of the pics in different shades of pink.

The Boys Layout

I have this adorable layout for you guys to see today.

These are my nephews during their very first photo shoot together. I did the photos. Crazy, in these pics the older one is 2, going on 3, and the lil one is only a month old... now the older one just turned 7 a couple days ago and the lil one.. well he just turned 4. WHERE did the years go?!

I used all DCWV paper for this layout. I cut the title with my gypsy and expression 2 using wild card for "the" and robotz for "boys". I used tooth picks for the base of the lil flags at the bottom. Blue ribbon toward the top, black bakers twine, and some really weird black lacey fabric type ribbon (i got it at really reasonable ribbon).

I love these lil guys.. :) They're my only nephews.. and they were both around before I had my girls so I used to be the greatest Auntie ever until I got married and moved out of state. I taught the older one how to start talking.. I was there the day he was born and he was the whiniest ring bearer in all the history of ring bearers but I love him anyway ;). And the lil one.. well he's the lil one! He's obviously my fav since we're both the 2nd born lol jk jk.. seriously though.. I missed a lot of his baby baby years cause I lived in a different state, but he's still my lil guy anyway.

Really funny fact... my mom had a boy (my bro) and a girl (me).. my bro had 2 boys.. I had 2 girls. When my bro was younger he had blonde hair.. but its now a brown, his wife's hair is dark brown.. my husband had blondish hair for a short time when he was a baby and we both have dark dark brown hair now (remember this part). My bro's 1st son has blonde hair, blue eyes and a real 'tude. My 1st daughter has BLOND hair, Blue eyes, and a real 'tude! My bro's 2nd son has brownish hair (that had a reddish tint when he was a baby), blue eyes, he's pretty laid back and used to eat everything (we used to call him "garbage can" lol cuz he'd eat ANYTHING!). My 2nd daughter has RED hair, blue eyes, she's laid back and she eats everything (we call her "Lady Gryph" after her cousin Gryphon (the 2nd born)). Now if you recall.. we all have brown hair now, and the 2 men (my bro and hubby) only had blonde hair for a short time... out of 4 brown haired people how did NONE of us and up with a brown haired kid?! LOL pretty funny.

Sorry funny story I had to get out.

MCCR WYEGW - crown box

Today at MCCR our challenge was to make a box using any cart of our choice.

I decided to make this cute crown box from the Princess Party cart. I've had it for almost a year now and I don't think I've used it once. :)

This heart is already made to cut out of the box I thought it added a little something so I left it. Once it was all cut out and folded I added stickles to in blue pink and yellow to the tops to make it look like gems.

Head on over to MCCR to see everyone's amazing projects for today!

CWC #101 - my last post for CWC

Hey everyone today is challenge #101 over at CWC (What did you do this summer? vacation/summer scrapbook layout). It's also my very last post as a CWC design team member. It's been fun and I decided to step down from the team at the end of my term (which this is). I have a lot of stuff going on soon (Harmony's birthday, Adams b-day, halloween, then all the other holidays and of course Jayden's bday too).. I'll still be posting just won't have the time for 2 teams any more. I've had lots of fun on the CWC team and hopefully will be able to join again.

On to my project... a Disney layout of our trip to Disney World in late June. :D We had a blast and the girls loved them some Mickey mouse.. I can't say but I'm pretty sure they met him at least 5 times during our trip.

I used a sketch (which will be linked at the end) and I used the traditional mickey colors (red yellow, black & white). I used Mickey & friends and Home Accents carts for this project. Then I glimmer misted the outer edge of the paper.
