Dinosaur card

I've been very busy making cards - there seem to be alot of birthdays at the moment!  Here's my latest creation for a dinosaur fan turning 5.

Dinosaurs and tree cut from Cricut cartridge 'Paper dolls', grass from 'Zooballoo' and the 5 from 'Mickey Font'.

Party girl

A photo of my daughter going to her first birthday party.  I used marquee shapes from Cricut cartridge 'Storybook' for the title and journalling labels.  The word labels are from 'Forever Young'.

Check out Fantabulous Cricut Challenge for more inspiration on using 'labels'.

It's all about toadstools

A birthday card for a 4 year old who is having a toadstool birthday cake.  I also found this cute toadstool paper from Warehouse Stationery.

Toadstools are from Cricut cartridge 'Kate's ABC's' and sentiment from 'Wild card'.

Cute chickens

Happy birthday today to my scrappy friend Carolyn! 

I made her a tri-fold card in a farm style (since she lives on a farm) with lots of embossing.  The chickens were cut using Cricut cartridge 'Country Life'.  ( I think she has chickens....).

Two today!

Happy birthday to my dear nephew who is 2 today!

Let it snow

I rarely get to do a snow layout but here my kids were playing with polystyrene packaging in the lounge and it sure looked like it was snowing!

Snowflake paper by DCWV and Snowflakes cut using 'Accent Essentials'.  I made a shaker box to cover one photo (see circular left-hand photo) and filled it with beads.

Check out the other snowflake layouts at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge.

Hole lot of fun

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge this week is a hot chocolate/cup theme or to simply use brown. 

My layout uses torn Bo Bunny paper to look like dirt with the photos and embellishments 'stuck' into the dirt.  My kids thought it was hillarious to jump in the hole that Daddy had dug to plant a tree.  Very helpful....

Cricut cuts - gumboots (Paisley), spade (Paper dolls), font (Life's a Beach).

Incredibly new

I got a new Cricut cartidge ' Best of Pixar'.  Here's my first layout using it and also a card I made.  So far I've only played with the Incredibles but have plans for Wall-E, Monsters Inc. and Nemo! The Cooking with Cricut challenge this week is to use something new, so here it is...
