Giraffe Birthday Card!

I created this cute little giraffe birthday card for a family member who loves giraffes. It just so happens the challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut Challenge was to create something with a Cricut Zoo Animal! The papers are mostly by Creative Memories with a little Bazzill thrown in for good measure! :) I used the Create-A-Critter Cricut Cartridge to create my little giraffe and used the phrase function from the bear cut to create the "Happy Birthday" phrase. I rounded the corners and added Luster Baubles to finish it off! The giraffe is dimensional and the phrase is popped up off the paper as well.

Bunny Birthday Card!

Wow! I haven't blogged in quite some time. I apologize as the weather here has been rather crappy which gives free reign for my Fibro to act up. Thus, I've been spending less time at my craft table. I have quite a few family birthdays in July so here is another birthday creation! I received this cute little bunny stamp from my blogfriend Jenny in the UK and I use a lot! I LOVE him! Thank you Jenny!!

July 4th Star Card!

I created this star shaped "Happy Fourth of July" card using the Cricut, Cricut DS and the Alphalicious and George cartridges. I cut the stars from George and designed the "Happy 4th" in DS. I added faux stitching around the red star and rhinestones to add some sparkle!

Pink Teddy Birthday Card!

I used the Cricut to create this cute circle shaped birthday card. I used the Create-A-Critter and George cartridges. Isn't she cute? I decoupaged the teddy together using layers. I added a pink dress, pink rhinestones and a sheer pink ribbon and then doodled around the pink circle with a white opaque pen to finish it off!

Happy 4th of July Centerpiece!

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY TO MY AMERICAN FRIENDS!! I hope you all had fun and safe celebrations this weekend! Perhaps you had a picnic, caught some fireworks or spent some quality time with family, regardless I hope it was great! We had a small barbecue at our house to celebrate both Independence Day and MY Birthday! ;) I wish it lasted a little longer but boy was I exhausted afterward!

In celebration of Independence Day I made the following centerpiece to put on the outside table. I used Dustin Pike's "Uncle Sam Dudley" image and cut the stars using the Cricut and the George cartridge. I used the Cricut DS to design and cut the "Happy 4th" sentiment using the Alphalicious cartridge. I added floral foam to the bottom of a plain silver pail and then added white shredded paper. I added the skewers to the stars, sentiment and image and stuck them into floral foam. I added the red stars ribbon I had in my stash to the outside of the pail and the Red, White and Blue ribbon to the image.

Isn't he cute??!! I love Dustin Pike's images!

I faux stitched around the sentiment star and the "4".

July 4th is my favorite part of the summer as it usually involves spending a lot of time with family and friends. It is my favorite summer celebration and I don't think "summer" without thinking of 4th of July celebrations!

Encouraging Bunny Card!

This week at Friday Sketchers we were asked to create something using the sketch I based this card on. PaperTake Weekly asked for stitching and Sentimental Sunday asked for Encourgaement/Support. Combine all three together and this is what I came up with using a rubber stamp image colored with pencils. I've been on a monochromatic kick lately, I'm not sure why!
