Flaunt it Friday Challenge

This week http://flauntitfridays.blogspot.com/  is having a challenge to use Give a Hoot cartridge and to use the bear in the trash can.  I do not have that cartridge, so I decided to use Sesame Street Friends and used Oscar the Grouch on page 56.  I cut him out at 3 1/4 inches and used a standard A2 size card as the base.  I thought it would fun to make it into a fun card for a girlfriend of mine that I have not seen in a while.  We don't really gossip, but it will be nice to catch up with one another.  I hope she likes it.

Holy Cricut Challenge #4

This week on http://totally-stamps.blogspot.com/ Summer is the theme.  The colors to use are blue, green and yellow.  She couldn't have picked better colors for me to use on this layout of my great nephew Tyler.  We had taken him to Fun Town Splash Town for his birthday and his favorite ride was the Frog Hopper.  This ride takes them all the way to the top and then hops down - he loved it!!  He would jump off and run back in line to get on the next time around.  After a while the attendant told him he could just stay on - which he was just fine with.  I couldn't wait to come home and make up this page, I cut the frogs out at 3 inches using Create a Critter.  Hope you like it.

My first Challenge!!

I was cleaning out my craft area and I came across some printed textured cards I bought at Micheals
for 5.00 for 50 cards and envelopes.  Can't pass a deal like that, but when I get them home, I cannot think of what to make with them, so they sit in the box.  I thought I would turn to my fabulous followers for help.  These are the cards I picked up the colors are blue, beige and white.
      My challenge is simple, show me how you make beautiful cards using printed pre-made cards. 

Here is my take on this challenge:   I justed glued the side and the bottom of the card so I can use it as a holder for my tag.  Used Tags Bags Boxes and more cartridge to cut out the tag at 5 1/2 inches on the mirror setting so I can use the inside for directions to our new home.  The white tag was cut at 5 1/4 inches.  Martha Stewarts corner punch was used on the front mat and used my computer for the wording.

 

You will have until next Sunday to submit your work.  I will be giving away two sets of cuttlebug

folders.

Card for Charlie

Hi everyone.  I read on My Pink Stamper about a little 4 year old boy in need of prayers.  His name is Charlie and he is battling a rare skin condition that causes his skin to blister.  He is at The Ronald McDonald House undergoing treatment.  If you would like to read more about him and an address to send him a card
please visit http://cricutcraftsbyangela.blogspot.com/.  She is keeping her blog updated with his progress. 
Here is a card that I will be mailing out to Charlie in hopes it will make him smile.

inside the card reads..."I was thinking of you..."  I hope if you cannot send a card, to please keep him and his family in your prayers.  I cannot imagine watching my child go through such a tough time. 

Jitterbuggin Challenge

Happy Wed. everyone.  Today I am joining the challenge on http://jitterbugginchallenge.blogspot.com/ to create something with chocolate brown and one other color.  I love the hedgehog on the Create a Critter cartridge.  I cut her out at 3 inches.  The punch I used on the corners of the mat is from the Martha Stewart corner punch called "Layered Arches".  Under the hedgehog I embossed "with love" with my cuttlebug boarder folders.  I hope you like it.

Created for Getting Cricky Challenge

Happy Sunday everyone, I hope everyone is having a great day.  Here in Maine, it is sunny and very cold.  Great day to be inside scrapbooking.  Over on http://kandrewdesigns.blogspot.com/ is having a challenge to create anything as long as it has a bird on it.  I decided to use up a title that I had created way too big for a card, on a scrapbook layout of my son and his girlfriend.  We had gone to Hermon Mountain for the day to go tubing and we had such a good day being together and just having fun.
    I cut the Title from Winter Frolic, the snowflakes were cut at various sizes from Christmas Cheer, the tube
that the little bird is sitting in came from Everyday paper dolls, and the little bird is from 3 Birds on Parade.  I love how this turned out, it brings back really good memories.  Hope  you like it.
