Challenge - Fantabulous Cricut

I cut the purse from the Forever Young Cartridge.  I embossed it and then made a tag from old paper I had.  The chocolate has a thank you tag and bow.  I think these would make really cute Thank You gifts.

This is a canvass I did for my husband for Fathers Day, instead of a card.  The images are from Artchix, the tape is Tim Holtz, other fun stuff from Michaels.

Outlawz CAS Challenge CAS0612

This is my card again using a recipe  We had to use green, stripes and buttons.

My picture is not that good by the oval is a lime green and her dress is also green.
The flowers have green stripes and there are clear buttons on the flowers.  This card was again made using my cricut and as you will see with my following post is part of an order my daughter gave me.  She is turning 25 and wanted funky invites for her friends.  I used the cartridge Forever Young to do these.

Lots of fun.

Enjoy

Outlawz Colour Challenge CC0607

This was a fun card.  I had seen this ribbon at Michaels, but did not know how I would use it!  Then this challenge came, and I ran out to buy it.  The watermelons are from some old papers in my stash.  I did not have any punches that would work, and then I remembered this tiny bear punch.  So I used this and now it is the Teddy Bears Picnic.

Hope you like it.

Love

Have had fun with my Cricut again

My aunt in South Africa lost her husband this weekend after being really ill for about 2 years.  My mother, who lives with us (in Canada) has asked me to make some pretty cards, so that she can send one every week, for a few months, to my aunt.  This is one of them that I did this week.

The frame is from the BLOOM Lite Cart
The flowers with buttons are from WALK IN MY GARDEN as is the hyacinth.  The papers are from my stash.  I used Stampin-Up inks to colour the flowers and the leaves.

Hope you like my card and would love to hear from you.
