My Cricut Craft Room-- Letter C

Today is the letter "C" day at My Cricut Craft room.

I used Campin' Critters Cricut cartridge to make my card.  I have to confess that I have been wanting to make this particular cut every since I first got this cartridge.  The visual cracks me up!

My card base is 5 3/4 x 5 3/4 yellow American Crafts cardstock.  My pattern paper is 5.5 x 5.5 inches and from DCWV.  I also used American Crafts cardstock on all of my cricut cuts.  This cut is from page 21 and was cut at 3.5 inches.  I did the shadow and all the layers.  I used a white gel pen to color in the eyes instead of using the very very very small piece of paper.  The sentiment is from a Kraftin Kimmie stamp set.

Have an awesome day!

Stamping Up! --Card clean up day

These four cards were made for my Mom's 60th birthday celebration.  I made her 60 birthday cards, but only signed one so she'd have 59 blank birthday cards to use!

Have an awesome day!

Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps-- Clean Up Post

Either I've been lacking in my blogging lately or I just have an abundance of cards to share with you!  I'm cleaning out my folder of cards that haven't been shared to make room for new projects to share with you in December!

Today it's Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps clean up day.

 I love the color of the flower in her hair.  It really catches my attention.

 This Rainy Day Ruby girl must be a Cincinnati Bengals fan!  Her umbrella and boots remind me of their team colors.

What's your favorite Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamp???

Have an awesome day!

Some Odd Girl- Dancin Mae

I'm so happy with how this card turned out that I'm actually going to enter it into SOG Guest Challenge!

The card itself is 6x6.  I printed Dancin Mae at 3.75 inches and colored her with copic markers and a little bit of glitter gel pens.  My Christmas tree is from the Winter Frolic Cricut cartridge and cut at 5 inches.  I used colored brads as my ornaments.  The star on top is golden rod stickles (and slightly wet still when I took this picture!  I know that because *it* accidentally touched me and I got wet glitter all over me.)  My background paper is from an old Christmas DCWV stack that I'm almost finished with.  The sentiment was made on my computer.  Notice I left off the "g" off in rockin' to match with dancin Mae! ;)  Think Kristy will give me bonus points for that?? LOL

Thanks for looking!  Have an awesome day!

Hungry hungry hippo!

This hippo just loves ice cream!  Ok, truth be told, I too love ice cream.  Can't say I'm crazy about a cherry on my ice cream, but I do love the sugar cone!   =)

This Hippo is from the Birthday Bash cricut cartridge.  He's cut at 3 inches.  The black markings were make with a gel pen, sometimes I find that easier than dealing with very small pieces of paper when building my cricut cuts.

 The happy birthday sentiment on the above card is from a*muse.

 The happy birthday eye chart is from Unity Stamps.

 The happy birthday background paper was made using a cuttlebog embossing folder.

The ticket was made using an a*muse die.  The It's your day stamp is from Unity Stamps.

Have an awesome day!  Eat some ice cream!

From My Kitchen cricut cartridge-- thinking of you

I'm in Cricut exploration mode!  This old fashion phone (and yes, unfortunately I *do* remember using this type of phone growing up!) was cut at 3.5 inches.  It's from the cricut cartridge From My Kitchen.  I doodled with a white and black gen pen.

The sentiment is from Stamping Up!

Thanks for looking.  Have an awesome day!

I have a thing for red cowboy boots.....

I didn't even realize that I made both of these cards with red cowboy boots!!  I think my little boy red cowboy boot fascination comes from my little brother.  When he was a toddler he had a pair of red cowboy boots that he wore constantly.  Somehow that stuck in my head I guess! =)



This stamp is from La-La Land Crafts.  I used copic markers to color the image and nestablities to cut the shape.

The top card was sent to my Mom as part of her 60th Birthday celebration.

This card went to Operation Write Home.  The Dude sentiment is from a*muse.

Have a great day!

Cow day-- Part Two

Months back I had Create a Critter Cow Day.  I have so many different cow cards piling up that it's now time to have a cow day part two!  

This cow is from the cricut cartridge birthday bash.  The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper.

This cow is from Create a Critter, the sentiment is from My Pink Stamper.  The pattern paper came from my stash of scraps.

Cow is from Birthday Bash, the banner stamp is from Unity Stamps, sentiment is from The Angel Company.

Sentiment is from Unity Stamps.

And my current favorite cow card........

This card was made for my Mom's 60th birthday.  The cow is from The Angel Company.  I colored with copic markers and cut out with wonky nestabilities.  I used a white gel pen to doodle around the edges.  I love how simple but cute the final card came out.

Thanks for joining me for Cow day- Part two! Have an awesome day!

I (heart) 2 Bake-- Everyday Paper Dolls

I simply love Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut Cartridge.  Every time I make a new character I think it turns out better and better.  This one is just too cute!!  My paper doll is cut at 3.5 inches. The face is from a Peachy Keen Stamp.  The solid yellow is embossed with the cuttlebug.  I sewed around the polka dotted pattern paper.  The I (heart) 2 Bake stamp and the Kiss the Cook stamp are from a set I got at Hobby Lobby.

Thanks for looking.  Have an awesome day!

I've been busted!

*Sigh*....never send a man to do a woman's job!  Tomorrow is my Mom's 60th birthday.  I spent considerable amount of time and energy into getting strangers to send my Mom a happy 60th birthday card to make her go crazy trying to figure out where the cards were coming from.  Well it worked!  She blamed one of her BFF's for the cards that were arriving in the mail from all over.  I wasn't even on her radar.  Until...... I asked my husband to post on a message board he frequents for volunteers to send her a birthday card.  Apparently *HE* didn't  get the memo that said this was a secret.  One of his volunteers ratted me out.  She now knows it was me behind all the mysterious cards that were arriving in her mailbox.

Thanks to everyone that sent or will be sending her a card!  Once the mystery of where they were coming from she was over, she was delighted in getting birthday wishes from so many.

Here's one of the many cards I made her (more about that later!)

Have an awesome day!

Hoot Hoot Hooray-- The Stamps of Life

September's stamp of the month from the Stamps of Life arrived in my mail box earlier this month.  I pulled it out and I thought, "Hmmmm....owl??"  Now sure how I really feel about owls but I have to say after playing with them for a bit I'm actually enjoying them!  

I stamped my owls on solid colored cardstock then cut them out.  The middle yellow owl is popped up with dimensional.  The sentiment came with the stamp.

This is a gift card holder that I made using an empty toilet paper roll.  I put a scratch lotto ticket in the holder and added it to the above birthday card.  

Thanks for looking.

Have a great day!

Who's up for some fishing?? -- The Angel Company

I don't seem to color many boys images but this one caught my eye.  I think it's the expression on his face that I like so much.  He's a part of a stamp set from The Angel Company.  I colored him with copic markers, cut him and his shadow with nestabilities.  The solid white cardstock is embossed with the cuttlebug.

Have an awesome day!

It's been a few days since I've posted!  I've been a bit busy doing things other than crafting (gasp!).  Ok, so truth be told I have done some crafting just no blogging.  My blogging habits kinda suck, I mostly do a whole bunch at once that go out for 1-3 weeks...I ran out of scheduled post and didn't get back to it!  I'm on vacation the rest of the week so my blogging should get caught up for the next two weeks at least. =) 

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend!  I know I did!  Here's a few of my final summer cards....time to start dispaying fall/winter/holiday.

This is a Hambo Hoedown image, one of my favorite to color! 

A few Pixie Dust cuties!  Love how the dog has that "puppy tilted to the head trying to understand what you're saying" look. 

Thanks for hanging out!  Have an awesome day.
