Get Well Eeore

Hello everyone and welcome to another challenge at Whimsical Wednesdays! This week the theme is going to be Get Well with a certain little boy named Angelo in mind. This week both card teams have come together for our challenge to make get well cards for a very special little boy. Angelo, 15 months old, who is the grandson of Margie from Bella Bug Creations, is going through a very difficult time right now. He underwent brain surgery last week and will begin Chemotherapy next week. You can read more about Angelo at this post over at Margie's blog. We hope that you will all join us this week and make a card for Angelo too.
I decided that this is a card for a baby in retrospect and so I didn't want alot of frills and kept it simple. I also wanted something that he might recognize and most kids know who Eeore is. I cut Eeore from Pooh Font at 4 inches. I used Glossy Accents on the ball and stamped the sentiment. I also used a black pen and did a stitching line around the mat and added a bow. I hope you all like my card and will play along this week. I can't wait to see what you'll create!

Oops Froggy Card

Hello everone! Here is the card that I made for M.A.G. Challenge by the Page. This week the challenge cartridge is Paisley and you can only use the Cricut cuts from page #39. I cut the mushroom from Paisley at 4 inches and I used my white and black pens to do some highlighting. The frog is a sticker from Recollections and I stamped the sentiment which is from Scrappy Mom's Furry Friends set. For the card base and mat I used my corner rounder and the grass is a strip of paper that I fringed with scissors. I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Mer-Sea

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made for the Tacky Tuesday Challenge. This month the challenge is to use a sea creature and use the word SEA somewhere in your project. I cut the octopus from B is For Boy at 4 inches. I used a purple colored pencil and white gel pen to do some highlighting and stamped the face with a Peachy Keen face. I made up the Mer-Sea saying using 2 different stamped sentiments and put that on an oval tag and mat. I am also going to enter this into Getting Cricky's Simple Sunday challenge which is to include a face on your project. Have a great day!

HOWDY!

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made for M.A.G. Challenge By The Page's challenge. This week the challenge is to use Smiley Cards, page 54. You can ONLY use the Cricut cuts on that page. You can use any other embellishment but no other Cricut cuts. I welded 2 conversation box's together in my Gypsy to make the card and cut 2 slightly smaller ones for the mats. I trimmed off the point to just get the inside mat. I cut the Howdy and the emoticon and layered him on top of the O using pop dots. I used my black pen for stitching around the outside, the hat and face, and a white gel pen for the highlights. I hope you all will check out M.A.G. It's fun and a real challenge. Have a great day!

Fathers Day Gable Box

The sentiment I printed off the computer and I tied a crinkle ribbon bow ( From My Craft Spot) and attatched it with a metal brad.

Funny Father's Day Card

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Whimsical Wednesdays! This week the challenge is Fathers Day. I think this card is so funny and I made it with my Dad in mind so it makes it more funny for me so you'll have to bear with me! :)

For the card base, I used a card from Smiley Cards cut at 10 inches high and 1/4 inch smaller for the card mat. The skunk was cut from Camping Critters at 3.5 inches and I stamped the sentiment which is from Scrappy Mom's Furry Friends set. The "Dad" was also stamped from a set from Michaels. For the inside of the card I printed the (but don't forget to spray) off my computer and stamped the Happy Fathers Day. The frog I cut at 2 inches and omitted the flies in that cut. Hopefully some of you will think this is kind of funny because when I showed it to my 18 year old son, he looked at me like I fell of my rocker!

This week our sponsor is Joy from Joy's Life! One random winner will win the stamp set called Your So Punny. Clich here to visit Joy's product page.Thanks Joy!

I sure hope that you will give this challenge a try and I can't wait to see what you'll create! Have a great day!

Celebrate The Occasion Fathers Day Card

Hello everyone! It's time for a new challenge at Celebrate The Occasion! This week the challenge is Fathers Day. I just got Car Decals and knew that I wanted to cut this cool golf cart out. I cut the golf cart at 2.5 inches in 3 layers. A black, white, and gray. I then trimmed around each piece until it layered the way I wanted. The golfer was also cut at 2.5 inches. I used my Gypsy to hide all the cuts on him so I just had a blackout and cut that out of the striped pattern paper. I then cut the black outline and a flesh colored face. For the background I just rounded a piece of green for the hill and to finish I added a bow and stamped the sentiment. I hope you will play along this week at Celebrate The Occasion and I can't wait to see what you'll create! Have a great day!

Bug Bites Bug Hop Challenge

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I made For BugBites Grillin N Chillin Bug Hop Challenge #2. For the challenge you must include a Cricut cut and a hidden bug found on the hop. When I think of summer and "chillin" I think of the beach. So this is the card that I created. I cut the girl from Twinkle Toes at 3.5 inches. I cut her leatard and then trimmed around the arms to get her swimsuit. For the tube I used the tube from the image on pg. 40 of Pack Your Bags. I copied it, flipped the second one and welded them together to get the whole tube. I just then needed to trim off the bottom where the shorts were. I also stamped her face with a Peachy Keen stamp, added glossy Accents to the tube, and penned in her flip flops. The beach scene was cut from Pack Your Bags at approximatley 5 inches that I stretched. I added Glossy Accents to the waves and highlighted them with a white pen. The crab was also cut from PYB's at .5 inches. And finally for my BUG...do you see it? I added a ladybug to the pail. I used a hole punch for the body and drew in the head and spots with a black pen and added Glossy Accents to it. I hope you all are having a great day and thanks for looking!

Hello Friend

Happy Saturday everyone! Here is a card that I made for fun. I made the card in my Gypsy by welding 2 tags from Once Upon A Princess to both sides of a square from George and Basic Shapes. I also cut 2 smaller tags for the mat. The snail was printed and cut at 2 inches from Imagine More Cards and I pop dotted his body. To finish I added a bow and stamped the sentiment from a $1 stamp from Michaels. I hope to have my Imagine back soon because I am running out of the things that I printed and cut before I sent it back. :) Have a wonderful day everyone!!!

Fiesta Shower Invitations

Hello everyone! Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. I have been going to baseball games everyday and I am proud to say that my son's baseball team won Regionals and are now headed to Sectionals! And if they win there then they're headed to state! I have also been working on these invitations for my sisters bridal shower. I did a pocket card and a sombrero pull on the inside. I didn't have a sombrero cut in any of my carts so I made this one using the sailor hat and pilgrim hat from Paper Doll Dress Up. I then cut all the strips and triangles by hand and glued them to the hat. The font is from Robots. I hope to get some projects finished soon and will post them later. I hope you all are having a great day!
