Spring Break

Feeling like I'm in serious need of a spring break, I found a bunch of challenges this week that inspired this card. Most of the paper I used was from Close to My Heart, they have great paper packs. Then I used the Life is a Beach cartridge for the palm tree and the flower charm.

The flower in the charm kind of reminded me of a clock, so that's where the sentiment came from. :) I used Perfect Pearl pigment powder from Ranger to give the flower some shimmer - I haven't had a chance to use it very often, but it added a really nice effect. I also used a brad and blue fibers as accents.

I entered a bunch of challenges with this card:

Cricut Cardz Challenge - 9x4 card, any theme, any colors
Papercraft Star - Spring inspiration and one of their colors
Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
Cooking with Cricut - time to spring forward, use a timepiece, clock, or some reference to time
Fantabulous Cricut - use a tree
The Play Date Cafe - use these colors
Two Scraptastic Gals - Life's a Beach cart

Hope you're all having a great week!

Butterfly Decor

First of all we cut out some butterflies using the Cricut and the Stamping cartridge. We used double sided paper so when we put them on the wall or window, they would be pretty on both sides.


Then we made sure to laminate them since we were going to put them outside and in a little girl's room. They will definitely be more protected this way!

They look so cute outside!

...and my little girl loves them in her room!



Have fun trying out this fun, easy project!
