This new set of dies and stamps is SOO COOL! I love the versitality of them, and of course, the adorable images that come with them.

I cut the boy from a Lettering Delights file called Weather Boy and stamped his face with a Peachy Keen Moodies face. I cut the bucket and shovel from Life's A Beach and added rows of torn paper for the sand. I stamped the Postage Die and matted it in blue. I also stamped the wavy lines and sentiment at the bottom using the new Postage Stamp stamps. To finish, I added some Orange Divine Twine.

Guest Designer for Die Cuttin Diva's

Hello everyone and Welcome to The Cricut Bug! Today I am the guest designer at Die Cuttin Diva's! This week the challenge is "Summer Fruits and Vegetables".
I made this yummy card to show you today! I cut the pineapple from Everyday Paper Dolls. I decided to give it lots of texture so I punched and inked ALOT of circles. Then I glued them in layers over the entire pineapple and I stamped the face with a Peachy Keen face. The umbrella, straw, orange, and cherry were cut from Life's A Beach. I stamped the green flower background and the umbrella with a stamp from My Craft Spot's Butterfly Kisses stamp set. To finish I added Glossy Accents to the face, orange and cherry. I also stamped the sentiment, added some twine and mounted the pineapple to an action wobble.
Thank you for stopping by today and I want to say THANK YOU to the ladies at Die Cuttin Diva's for having me Guest Design there this week! Have a great day!

Hello Sunshine!

Hello everyone! Here is a card that I made for a couple of challenges. I don't know about you, but when I look at this card, I TOTALLY want to be where ever this place is! LOL!
I cut the palm tree's from Paper Doll Dress Up and did some inking on them. The swim suit and trunks were cut from Life's A Beach and I added the clothespins which are from Baby Steps. I tore strips of paper for the sand and ocean. For the sun, I used a ribbon spool and traced it on some paper and cut it out. I added some twine and strung it tree to tree and added some bling to bikini top. To finish I stamped the sentiment in the sand.
I am going to enter this into the following challenges:

Hello everyone! Here is a card that I did for a couple of challenges. When I first got my Cricut, I just HAD to have Life's A Beach and have always wanted to cut out this hula girl. Well I FINALLY did it! LOL! So here's what I came up with.
All of the cricut cuts are from Life's A Beach. I stamped the girls face with a PK face stamp and used my I-Rock to attach the gems to her. The center on the big flower is a brad. I cut the surf board in 2 layers and trimmed around to get the inside piece. The sand dollars were cut and inked. I tore strips of paper for the sand and ocean and stamped the cloud background. The banner I stamped using My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags set. First I stamped the solid color and then the stitching stamp over the top. I cut the letters from LAB, glued it to the banner and added some twine.

Terrific Tuesday Life's A Beach

Hello everyone! Here is the card that I did for Scrappy Mom's Terrific Tuesday challenge. This time the challenge is to use Life's A Beach. I cut the palm tree at 4 inches, the chair at 3 inches, and the crab at 1.5 inches from Life's A Beach. I highlighted them all with black and white pen and added Glossy Accents to the crab's eyes. For the sand I just tore a piece of kraft cardstock and stamped the sentiment which is from Scrappy Mom's Furry Friends set. To finish I embossed the background with Spots N Dots and tied a piece of twine around the side. I forgot to take a picture of the inside of the card where it says "Go to the beach" which I printed off my computer. I hope you all are having a great day and have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend!

Baby Boy Banner

Hello everyone! This is the banner that I made for Peachy Keens LFIF challenge. The challenge is to make a banner or something with a banner and include a Peachy Keen face stamp. I started by cutting the pennants from Birthday Bash at 4 inches. The letters were also cut from Birthday Bash at 1.5 inches. The scallop frame for the letters were cut from Straight From The Nest at 2 inches. The bear at 2.5 inches, the monkey at 3 inches, and the frog at 2 inches were cut from Create A Critter. The turtle was cut at 4 inches from Life's A Beach. I stamped the faces on the monkey and bear and the frogs eyes which I used the owl eyes and omitted the eyelashes. All the paper was from DCWV Baby Boy Stack. Hopefully my brothers wife has a boy now so I can actually use this! I hope you all liked my banner and thanks for looking!

Throwback Thursday and CCCC Challenges

Hi everyone! This card is NOT cut from Nifty Fifties! I went to look through the book online and saw a VERY similar image and thought, I can do that. This flamingo was actually cut from Life Is A Beach! And the kidney shape backround I cut by hand with the star shapes cut from Once Upon A Princess.

Raking Leaves FC Challenge #23

Over at Fantabulous Cricut this week the challenge is The Great Outdoors. Every year we have to go out and rake leaves, so this seemed like a great page idea. I cut the tree from SYI and the title from Life's a Beach. The boy is cut from PDDU....I had to do some changes to get him this way. I cut his hair and pants from the groom, his shirt from the pirate that I then trimmed off the jagged edges, and the shoes from Dracula. The rake I designed in Design Studio. For the leave piles I just ripped up a bunch of paper and glued it on randomly.

Life's A Beach Lizard cut

BBTB2's challenge this week was to use the Life's a Beach Lizard cut. I cut this lizard at 3 inches and the frames I cut from Storybook at 3.5 and 3.75 inches. The flowers are also from LAB and they were cut at 1 inch. I pop dotted the lizard to give him some dimention and put google eyes on him. I also embossed him with the Spots and Dots Cuttlebug folder.

Summer Card for Craft Junkie Too

Here is the card that I made for Craft Junkie Too's Summer Challenge. I used Life's A Beach for all the cuts. I just trimmed off the flip flops and shells from the phrases before attatching them to the card. I hope you all have a great weekend!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #15

Here is the card I made for The Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #15. The theme was at the beach. I used CAC for the seal and Life's A Beach for the waves, surf board, and the saying. The way I see it, seals like to surf too! :) LOL!
