Happy Birthday CHA CHA CHA

I made the top 5 with this card  Yeah!!!

I have always wanted to use this cut but needed to visualize it a little more.  I have be scanning thru the sites to get some inspiration and used a couple to help me along.  The Amy Butler K & Company pack helped me along withe the sketch thus week from Splitcoast Stamper.  I pulled out my s\Sucess and Martha Stewart punches and a prima some flowers and this is what I came up with!!!

Jitterbuggin ~~GO Wild~~ sketch 14

This is my version for Jitterbuggin's Sketch 14. Left the inside of the card blank so I could personalize it for someone later if I wanted.  hmmmmmmmmm a striped lion.  Wonder if that counts for stripes?????

Something Other than a Critter

popped , inked,  embossed

My youngest son has bought his first home and he is having a housewarming/ birthday party on Friday.  I wanted to make him and his family a special card to celebrate that day!!!  Of course I had to make two one to congratulate all of them on their new house and one for his birthday.  (I will post that later still putting on finishing touches)  I left the inside blank so I can write them a special note to celebrate their day.  I used create a critter for all the cuts except for the clouds which i hand cut after I computer generated the sentiment.  Added a few brads and bling embellishment to spruce up the house .  I hope the sun shines on all they do in their new home.  thanks for looking!!!

Ekkkkkkkk ~spiders`

I have gotten so many new carts lately with so little time to play!!! I thought this little spider was less spooky and thought I would girly her up a little!!!  The background paper was what inspired me to use her as I have so much Halloween paper from last year to use and I haven't seen the new paper as of yet!!  (Just what I don't need MORE PAPER!!!) I used the card feature on mini monsters to make the spider and the head flips open and says EKKK!!!  Maybe I could use this one for one of my granddaughters this year!!!!

Just love Halloween

Well I was looking through a box in my room and found all of my Halloween papers and stash of cuts i made last year.  I just got the new Happy Hauntings cartridge ant the witch on the broom was calling to me!!!  I wanted to see how she turned out and the rest of the card just came into place.  I never would put these colors together but the background paper took over.  And what is a Halloween card without the orange in it!!!  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!!  Comments are so much appreciated!!! 

Jitterbuggin Sketch 13

Back from a short trip and and after seeing so many cars on the road decided to use the automobile from doodlecharms for the train planes and automobile challenge.  I found a 8x8 pad of paper at ollie's here in Johnstown.  You can find some pretty neat scrap-making material in that store.  it is More than Just paper pack for boys.  Thought this would make a nice young boys birthday card!!  The cut seem to go along with the background paper.  I cut the auto at 2.25  and used George to cut my circles.  We were suppose to use a button but once i got started I ended up with five.  Oh well the more the merrier right??  I got the stamp sentiment  in the dollar bin a long time ago at Michaels.  After i was done inking and doodling I felt that it was finished and followed the sketch with a few little twists and turns.  This was fun and triggered my mind a little just what a challenge is suppose to do. 

~~Across the miles~~ thinking of you

I know it has been some days since I have posted anything but I finally got this card completed!!  Lillie from UM Buggin had a challenge up that I really wanted to participate in and just didn't quite get this done in time even though I know she extended her deadline!!!  She wanted the bird cut from Beyond Birthdays to be used in your card.  She let anyone use a bird of simular choice from other cartridges.  Well I have so many carts but not that one but used another cricut cut to make my card.  I thought it would be a nice all occassion card to keep in touch with others.  Even though I didn't get this done in time I wanted to share with you the final results and say that challenges really do motivate to dig in and make a card!! Your comments are always appreciated so let me know what you think!!
