Birthday Alligator

My baby boy is turning 7 on Friday!! I can't believe it! This card is for him and I hope he loves it because it's as colorful as he is! This is also for the My Pink Stamper DT Call Challenge, and here is the challenge:
Use *Orange, *Turquoise, *Green and *Brown
I used My Mind's Eye Alphabet soup paper and some embossed paper by Bazzill for my easel card. I cut this cute gator from the Birthday Bash cart - I love that cartridge!


Have an awesome day!

Father's Day Banner

Welcome to Crazy About Cricut Thankful Thursday! This week's challenge is to make a special project for Father's Day, and you're welcome to try something other than a card too :) I can usually come up with some cute ideas for girls, but when it comes to guys, sometimes I just can't think of anything to make for them! So I searched around for some inspiration and came upon the Tie-riffic Father's Day ideas on the My Insanity blog! So I made this awesome banner to have waiting for my father-in-law and grandpa when they come over for the party on Sunday. Since my dad lives in Washington, I'm going to email him the pictures so he can get a banner too! :)



I used the ties on the Everyday Paper Dolls cart and the letters from the Birthday Bash cart. So cute! Then I used the shadow feature and raised them up on pop dots just to give it a little more 3D effect and added the buttons as embellishments.

Celebrate the Occasion Challenge #18

This week at Celebrate the Occasion, we were challenged to come up with a project that had a birthday theme that included a party hat. I used My Mind's Eye Lime Twist - Life of the Party collection. This paper is so bright and happy, it just asks to be a birthday project! :) I used one of my new favorite cartridges, Birthday Bash and created a flower box using Tags, Bags, Boxes and More.

I used some tulle and the party hat sentiment to decorate the box, along with some more of the fun paper.

Then used some more tulle to tie around the 6x6 card with a bow at the top to make it look almost like its own gift box. I loved that cute little cupcake, so I used it for the main image on my card.

Come and join us this week at Celebrate the Occasion for this fun challenge and to check out all the fabulous work from the rest of the awesome Design Team!! All you need to do is create a card, layout or project and post it by Sunday, June 19th, 11:59pm (EST). The winner will be selected and entered into the monthly drawing! For the month of June we are giving away a "Peachy Keen $20 gift card!! Have a great day!

Challenges I entered:
Cooking with Cricut - pick your poison
Birthday Sundaes - wet or dry embossed birthday card
Scrappy Moms - sweet treats

Llama Birthday

I recently got the Birthday Bash cart because I loved all the different shape cards you can make it with it! Plus since I love Create a Critter so much, I thought I probably needed some more little animals to create with. These guys are so adorable! They have everything from the llama to a cute birthday crocodile, and I can't wait to use them all!

I used some scraps I had from the Route 66 paper collection from Close to my Heart and then used stickles to add some dimension to the cute little stack of presents (even guys can use a little bling, right!) Then added some ribbon and industrial size brads and my masculine birthday card was done :)

Challenges that inspired me:
Cooking with Cricut - use at least 2 of their list of colors, I used green, brown, cream, etc.
Cricut Cardz Challenge - use the card feature on any cart
Birthday Sundaes - masculine birthday
Papercraft Star - masculine, the presents reminded me of the stacked cake in the inspiration picture
Card Makin' Mamas - use scraps
My Craft Spot - use a cute critter
Scrapalicious USA - man card

Have an awesome day!
