Summer Layouts

With summer coming (I hope) I wanted to do some layouts for those fun summer activities, BBQ's, Camping and random outdoor activities!
So here are my 3 layouts for my upcoming Summer Layout Workshop, all made with the wonderful paper "Timberline"

I also used the Timberline Compliments for 2 of the layouts and extra cardstock on the BBQ layout to paper piece those cute little cheeseburgers!

The Summer Layout Workshop will be held on Saturday May 31st at 10:00 am. Please let me know if you would like to join us.

Enjoy!

Bendy Fold Card

This month we had a special project called the "Bendy Fold Card". 

This card can be as dressed up or down as you want, because the beautiful Skylark paper is so decorative, you really don't need much more.

The stamp sets used were "Give a Lift" (D1581) and "Banner Wishes" (B1438)

Throw a few cricut flowers on and,Ta Da...

Enjoy!

On This Day mini album

So I have a dear friend... we will call her "The Scrappy Diva".
She contacted me about a week and a half ago and asked me to be a guest designer on her CTMH page.
Well... challenge accepted!!

I created, what I like to call, The "On This Day" mini album, and here is a sneak peek...

If you would like to see more pictures of this Mini album, hop over to her page at THE SCRAPPY DIVA and while your there "LIKE" her page, you won't be sorry!!

Now, what do you do with a mini album you created for the sole purpose of being a guest designer? You give it another purpose!! This mini album was donated to SAFE team rescues Kitty Crop and will be in their raffle tomorrow to help raise money for this great cause!! If you want to help SAFE with the fantastic work they are doing, HEAD ON OVER TO THEIR PAGE AND VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME OR DONATE FOOD OR MONEY!

Overlay Cards

As many of you know, The Cricut Artbooking Collection has so many wonderful overlays designed for your scrapbook layouts and mini albums, but these overlays are just way to cute to be stuck with 1 job... 

So for this months Card Club we gave these overlays another job, to dress up our cards!! 

We started with "The Wave" overlay (pg 53/Artbooking). It is cut at 5 3/4" (and then trimmed 3/4" off the end), laid it over some B&T, added some stamping and got these fancy little cards! 

Our next card was using the "Sunshine" overlay (pg 52/Artbooking). This was cut at 5 1/2" and fit perfectly over a 4 x 5 1/2" card. I put some Honey card stock behind it and added some stamping and the "sunshine banner" which was cut at 1" (Artbooking).

The last overlay we used was the "Stars" overlay (pg 86/Artbooking). It is cut at 3 3/4" and used on a 4 x 4" card. Again, just added some stamping & we were done.

Enjoy!

Crop Card Challenge

On Saturday was my crop and this month I decided to have a card challenge / contest. Each person recieved a blank card base and a copy of the Oct. CTMH free download, which was a sheet of banners.
They could use anything on the card they wanted & they did not have to use all the banners, then they were all put out on a table and numbered. Everyone got 1 vote and the only rule was they could not vote for thier own.
My plan was to have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place card, but we ended up having a 4 way tie for 2nd place.
So here are the winning cards, as voted on by my Crop Girls...

In second place (x4)

Congratulations Candace G.

Congratulations Michele M.

Congratulations Candace B.

Congratulations Louise D.

And in 1st place... Congratulations to Dawn K.

This was such a fun card challenge!! Thanks to all the girls who participated. It was soooo hard to only have 1 vote!!
I can't wait until our next challenge!!!


Enjoy!!

Paper Bag Pocket Cards

For my September Card Club we made Paper Bag Pocket Cards.
These cards are great for that little extra gift enclosed with the card... money, pictures or gift cards.

There are 2 pockets in each card, 1 for the note card and 1 for the "extra little gift"

Enjoy!!
