VCMP Challenge #7: CAS

This challenge is all about Clean And Simple Cards. I tried to have fun with it. Enjoy!

VCMP Challenge #6: Sand and Sea

We were challenged to use blues and tans with any theme we wanted for this one. I was inspired by the serenity of the color scheme to use the sentiment "Serenity."

VCMP Challenge #5: It's a Party! Birthday Cards

So since I was still in a beachy mood when I created this I went a little beachy on the birthday.
The present is from Cricut's Celebrate with Flourish Cartridge.


VCMP Challenge #4: Beachy Thinking of You

So as I was planning out this card it took a little different direction then I originally thought, but I really like the results. I cut the flip flops from my Cricut Life is a Beach Cartridge using metallic paper.

VCMP Challenge #2: Masculine Nautical

This challenge called for any kind of Nautical theme that was Masculine. I decided to go with my Stampin' Up stamp of a boy sitting in a boat with his feet in the water. I am really happy with how this turned out!

VCMP Challenge #1: Hot Tropics

For the Stars and Stamps VCMP Challenge #1, we were asked to use hot pink, yellow and green to create our cards. Hope you enjoy what I came up with!

Cricut Circle January Monthly Challenge: The Year in Review!

I was inspired by the January Cricut Circle Monthly Challenge to make a mini book for my daughter that covered each month of 2011. I started in December of 2010 because her birthday is Christmas Eve and I wanted to book to encompass her whole experience as a four year old in 2011.
For the base of the book I used the Hello Kitty Font to do the shadow of the number 4. I then added the holes using my Gypsy, so they would all be consistent. I also used the Hello Kitty Greeting Cartridge to cut the cute little cupcakes on December 2010
For February I used the 50 States Cartridge to cut out the shape of Arizona to add just a little extra something to the page.



In October I used Gypsy Wanderings to make the cute little leaves in gold and blue.
I then used A Child's Year to add the Pilgrim's hat to November and our Thanksgiving trip.
 I kept this book pretty simple because I knew it would get a lot of love from my now five year old little girl, but I love how it turned out!
