Here's my Project:

 

 

 

My ex got a motorcycle a year or so ago. His birthday was this past Saturday so I made him this birthday card that looks very similar to his motorcycle. I know it doesn't quite represent a vacation but it could in the future.

 

I used these items to create my motorcycle card:

• Father's Day Cricut cartridge - motorcycle
• George and Basic Shapes Cricut cartridge - rectangle for sentiment
• Black, white and red cardstock
• 2 types of foil paper
• brads
• Glossy Accents
• Cardz TV Stamp "Good Times" - sentiment
• Black ink

 

I am entering my motorcycle card in the following challenges:

• Cardz TV - Anything Goes - Challenge #8

Happy Mother's Day Center Step Card

 

 

Well, this Sunday will be Mother's Day and this is a card that I created with my 7 year old daughter for her MomMom (Grandmother). Her MomMom loves owl's so we decided that we had to use the owl from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge. We also found out that her favorite colors are mauve and country blue. We then choose our papers and this is what we came up with. You can't see it but I did use some foam tape behind the owl and branch.

 

 

I used these items to create my Happy Mother's Day center step card:

• Create a Critter Cricut cartridge - owl and branch
• Create a Critter Cricut cartridge 2 - flowers and Happy Mother's Day
• Foam tape - behind owl and branch
• DCWV Textured Cardstock Stack Pastels - mauve and pink
• other cardstock and pattern paper

 

I will be entering my card in the following challenges:

• Cut It Up Challenge #121 - Wings
• BBTB2 - Happy Mother's Day
• Die Cuttin Divas Challenge #316 - Mother's Day
• DL ART- May Linky Challenge
• Pause Dream Enjoy Challenge #172 - Cards - optional Fun Folds

Have a blessed day!

This is my project:

 

This year has been rough for me. I just lost my Mom this past November so I wasn't even sure if I was going to participate in this blog hop. I did though decide that focusing on the loss of my mother was not what I wanted to do...the pain is still too fresh for me. I decided that I would make a card for my daughter's Grandmother. She may no longer be my mother-in-law but I do still love her as if she were. Plus, my youngest daughter wants to make her own card of her own design for her, too.

 

I choose the hummingbird as the main focus of my card because I know she loves them.

 

 

I decided to keep the inside blank so that I can write my on message later.

 

 

I also created a coordinating envelop to accompany my card.

 

 

I used these items to create my card and envelop:

• Art Nouveau Cricut cartridge - the hummingbird
• Wild Card Cricut cartridge - the card and envelop
• Martha Stewart essentials paper pad - the pattern paper
• cardstock
• foam tape - behind hummingbird
• black brad - for the eye

I hope you enjoyed my Mother's Day card. Please remember to leave me a comment and follow on to the other designers. Have a blessed day.
