My Pink Stamper  is having another design team call so I made this scrapbook page that can be used for a birthday, an eventful year or really just about any occasion that you want to celebrate!  We had to use the colors brown, green, turquoise and orange and one other color of our choice in our project for this submission. I threw some purple in here since it was already on the printed paper! :-)  I thought that these prints from K and Co.'s Confetti stack brought these colors together nicely! RECIPE: BANNER: from the MOTHER'S DAY cartridge cut at @ 2.18"H LETTERS ON THE BANNER: from the ALL MIXED UP cartridge cut at 2.18"H TITLE LETTERS: from the ALL MIXED UP cartridge cut at 1.47"H PAPER: K & Co. Confetti stack (just love this stack!!) KRAFT PAPER TWINE Thanks for stopping by today and make sure that you visit  My Pink Stamper  for so much great inspiration, including tutorials and stamps and sooooooo much more!!

This is my latest creation for the  Cricut Mini Albums website .  I had a kit for this kind of album but I wrote down the dimensions and recreated my own using my Cricut!! In this album, I recorded all of the birthdays in our family so I can refer to it when I'm ready to make and send my cards!  I used Designer's Calendar for the months and the icons hanging off of the twine on each card. The icons were printed and cut on my Imagine using the Kate's Kitchen Imagine cartridge with the Designer's Calendar cartridge. I used the cricut markers on the months first, then cut them out. I really like the look this gives.  The papers used were from the K and Co. stack "Cut 'n Paste".  I used some stamps from My Pink Stamper Winter Punnies and Cornish Heritage Farms On the Desk set.  The library cards and pockets are made with Tags, Bags, Boxes and More and my Gypsy. I resized the pockets so they would better resemble a library pocket.  I can add to the cards ea...

My Pink Stamper has posted a challenge today to any and all who would like a shot at being on her design team! My project needed to use a favorite Cricut cartridge and the colors: pink, green and brown and another color of my choice. I used my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons cartridge and my Imagine with the Mr. Frosty pattern cartridge and Snapshot Everyday cartridges. I am going to frame this project so I can always look at my sweet little, brand-new grandson!! The mat behind this adorable picture was printed and cut on my Imagine from the standard shapes on the Imagine and the Mr. Frosty cartridge. I really like this snowflake pattern! This is a close-up of the tree and layers from page 60 of my Creative Memories Cheerful Seasons Cricut cartridge and was cut at 3.5"H. I used Star Dust Stickles to make the "snow" on the tree look like it was glistening! Notice the "wood" paper for the tree trunk - this is a texture pattern on the Snapshot Everyday Imagine...

I am such a fan of My Pink Stamper so when she posted this color challenge, I just had to participate! It took me until tonight to get my entry done because I haven't been feeling well due to some gallbladder issues!!  At any rate, here it is!!  I really love the new Robotz cartridge!!  I wanted to make a girl robot so I chose this one for a get well card. I cut the robot from page 41 at 3.42" with my Gypsy. All the layers were cut at 3.42" also.  I used pop dots to mount the robot.  The sentiment was also cut from Robotz at .79" welded and cut with my Gypsy. For the sentiment, I used the cricut markers first, then cut it out so that it would be outlined. Hope you enjoy!  I'm going to have a lot of fun with this cartridge!!

The cupcakes on this cartridge are so cute!  They make the perfect accent on birthday cards!  I used a 5x7 card and cut the cupcakes and the tag at 1.5". I cut all the layers too and used pop dots for some dimension. The stamp on the tag is a "My Pink Stamper" stamp from her Simply Sweet Occasions set!  Love it! Of course, I stickled it up because cupcakes have to be decorated!  Thanks for looking!

I made this "Springy" card for my Mom who is recovering from open-heart surgery! The envelope is stamped with a Close to my Heart stamp set, "Treasures" and says "You are my Sunshine".  The flower on the front of the card is from Sweet Treats and everything is cut at 3".  The letters, m-o-m , are cut at 1.5" from Printing Press and I used the clips feature.  A simple card, but cute!   Thanks for looking!
