*Wait Not till Tommorrow*

I skipped the second sketch till planning a masculine card but I don't have my mind wrapped around it yet.  I wanted to use the same paper as the first sketch trying to keep scraps down to a low roar.(fat chance I know).  And a masculine card wouldn't be in this paper.  The only cricut on this is the scalloped frame I used from Lyrical Letter font cartridge.  Thanks for Looking... What do you think???

Easter is over and spring is finally here!  My granddaughter found a lady bug upstairs in our house and that was what inspired me to use the ladybug in Raq's sketch challenge this week 4-7 thru 4-13.  This one of the first sketch.  Used Doodlebug and Walk in my garden for the ladybug cuts.  The sentiment is from the little dollar stamps you get at M's.  Paper I used is from DCVW Flower Shower spring stack(which I love).  The flower bling also from M's dollar section.  I used my martha stewarts markers to color up the I thats a flower. On to the next sketch!!!!

Took some pictures of my grand-kids this week that I thought I had better get them into a layout while the design was rambling around in my head!!  This is the newest addition to our crew!!!  First grandson!!!  He is such a happy little guy and smiling most of the time.  A photographers dream!!!  A grandmothers treasure!!!!  I have lots more to do but this is why I originally bought my cricut and have gotten away from scrap booking and took up making cards!!!  I have tons of photo's that need done and should be doing a few each week so I don't forget when and what happened when I took the pictures!!  I have a great printer that does store bought printing quality so I have no excuses except procrastination!!!  Still have the journaling to do but I can move on to a few more!!

Hoppin on a Fence

I am sure enjoying using the Just Because cartridge!!!  I made this Easter card using the chick cut from this cart!!!!  I had some paper that i used as my base and incorporated the pattern with cuts from paisley and the fence from my community.  TOO MUCH FUN!!!!  Thanks for Looking!!!  So I guess this piece of paper was my inspiration for the whole card.   

Second just becau post

Still playing with the cart.  This is card 2.  Used my own sentiment stamp added a prima with a brad and a couple buttons to spruce it up!  I had some little red fiskar embellishments I thought added to the tree that makes it look like green and red apples don't you think???  I think I am going to love this cart!!!  Did change up the layer in back of tree cut twice and cut in half to give a sky and grass look.

~NEW~ Just Because Cartridge

I

I so love getting ~NEW~ cartridges!!!  I couldn't wait to try one out!!!  This cartridge puts together some great cards without to much thought on design!!  Of course paper choice is still a big challenge!!  I used some scraps to make this and used design studio to place it on the mat all at once with the different papers.  I am finding I like to work with the smoother papers instead of texture so I can put the texture I want!!  Much easier to ink!!!  Funny the colors seem to me so much brighter on the white core paper and the cuts are alot touchier to do!!!  I cut the scallop from the bottom of the paper with a few strips of left over paper and added some bling to that and the little bow on the creamcicle. Yummy orange!!!  I did doodle on the sentiment to make it pop a little, I think it worked!!!  Off to see what else I can make!!  I think a little bag of these simple cards for all occasions would make a nice gift!!!!TFL
