My 1st 2 pg. Layout *** White Lightning Soccer layout ***

I am so excited to share with you my very 1st 2 page layout!!!  I was always so intimidated by the 2 page layout...not really sure why.  Now I can finally say, "I can do it!" 

I used these items to create this 2 page layout:

• Design Studio
• Plantin SchoolBook Cricut cartridge - for the font and the #9
• Indie Art Cricut cartridge - for the lightning bolts
• Sports Mania Cricut cartridge - for the soccer player, ball, and I "heart" Soccer
• ribbon

Here are the pages individually:

Here are some of the images up close...I really love the soccer player!

I am entering this 2 page layout in the following challenge:

• Throwback Thursday Challenge - Episode 295 - SPORTS CHALLENGE! Use any sports cartridge you have & if you don't own any sports theme carts, just use anything you have & just make sure it has something to do w/sports!:) ***Make a card, layout or anything you want!!!
•  BBTB2 - Numbers Challenge - just use any number from any cartridge

Thank you so much for allowing me to share with you my very 1st 2 page layout!!!  I hope you liked it...I know I had a blast creating it!

Wicked Best Witches - Happy Halloween card

Happy September 1st!!!  Another day closer to getting cooler.  It has been HELL on earth here in the desert and I will be so glad to get into Fall.  I did a little something different with this card...I used some stickers.  I can't even tell you the last time I used stickers for a project.  I came across these particular Halloween stickers in my stash and thought they'd be perfect to add that little extra something and that is exactly what they did.

I am entering this card in multiple challenges this week:
Bitten By the Bug2 required you to make a new project using your Cricut and a stamp with a fall theme
Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday 75 required you to add the colour yellow to your Cricut project
Wacky Wednesday 49 - Halloween at More than Favors - required your project to be Halloween theme
Cricut Cardz Challenge 90 required you to make a card using the card feature from any cartridge, use any colors and for any occassion
Paper Cutz Challenge 106 required you to make a card, layout or project using stars for any occassion and colors

I created this card in the Design Studio. 

I used these Cricut cartridges:
Celebrations for the card base and inside of the card
Happy Hauntings for the witch (which I welded into the circle opening of the card) and the grave stone scene
Paper Doll Dress Up for the tree

I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the tree just to give it some texture.  I also inked the edges and some of the front of the tree.

I inked the grave stones with white, black and some green to give them a more realistic feel.

I added the stickers and stamped Happy Halloween on the front

On the inside I used a stamp from Bug Bites and some more stickers

I had so much fun creating this card and I think I might just be using some more stickers in the future!

Framed Spooky Clown - HDH 103 Carnival of Curiosities

When I first found out that the theme for Macabre Monday was HDH103 Carnival of Curiosities over at Haunted Design House I just knew I wanted to do something with a creepy clown.  Plus, over at Bitten by the Bug2 they are having a Happy Hauntings challenge and you are to create a project using a frame from that Cricut cartridge.  I had the idea to create a card using the skeleton frame to represent a mirror (you know like the ones you'd see at a creepy carnival attraction) and of course the creepy clown.  His face is translucent, almost ghost like and then you can see just a very slight dark image behind that face, it's a scull....SPOOOOOOKY!!!

I created this card in Design Studio. 

I used these Cricut cartridges:

Happy Hauntings for the inside scull and frame, welded and cut at 8 1/4.  I also have 3 layers on the front of the frame.

Wrap it Up for the clown

Paper Doll Dress Up for the bow

I attached a tinsel like fuzzy ball to the top of the clown's hat and outlined his face with a white gel pen.  I flocked the clown's nose with Martha Stewart flock.  I used a clear stamp on the inside that just says, "SPOOKY." 

I am so pleased with the way this turned out...totally creepy...the exact look I was going for!!!  I hope you like it too and thanks for stopping by!

Hey Pumpkin Pie card

Well, I'm kinda bummed...I originally was going to enter this card in Bitten By the Bug Pie Challenge-Paper Dolls Dress Up but I missed it so I have decided to enter it in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #73 - Piece of Cake! Create a project with a cupcake (or another baked good) .

Here are the details about this card:

I used Paper Doll Dress Up Cricut cartridge for the pie cut 3 times at 1 3/4 Real Dial size and then hand cut the pieces to make a pumpkin pie.
I used A Child's Year Cricut cartridge for the pumpkin cut at 2 1/2
I inked all the edges with Color Box inkpad
I stamped the pumpkin with a stamp I found in the dollar bin at Michael's.  I drew in the lines on the pumpkin, colored in the lettering with a LePlum maker, and stickled the small pumpkin
I used brads and twine for some decorative touches.

On the inside I used a stamp from My Craft Spot

Thanks for looking!!!
