4 Wheeler Brithday

I have a birthday coming up for a guy at work. He enjoys riding dirt bikes and 4 wheelers so it only seemed fitting to use one or the other. I used my Going Places Cartridge for the 4 wheeler. But this cartridge only has the base and shadow cuts. I cut the base out twice {in yellow and black} then cut the seat and tires from the black to add as layers to the yellow. The "Happy Trails" is also from Going Places, the mountain/hill in the background is from the Country Life Cartridge and the "Happy Birthday" inside is from A Child's Year.

Thanks for looking,

Happy Birthday

Today I have a soccer themed birthday card to share. A co-worker needed a birthday card for her granddaughter. I went with the soccer themed because her granddaughter currently is on a soccer team. I used Everyday Paper Dolls for the girl, soccer net and soccer ball. I used Country Life for the sun and hill in the background. The inside I used a "Happy Birthday" stamp.

Happy Brithday to Moo

Well New Year's resolution be damned (sorry for the language). I didn't make it past March with at least 1 post per week. Actually, I haven't even made a card in over a month until Monday. I spent my Memorial Day in the Craftroom with my A/C a goin'. So here is the card I made. It is a birthday that a co-worker requested. His father ownes a dairy farm. So he wanted a cow/farm themed card. I used the Cricut County Life cartridge for everything. The inside says "Happy Birthday to Moo."

Thanks for stopping by,

Hang in There

When I started out making this card I wasn't sure where I was going with it. I really wanted to use the clothes line cut from Country Life. So starting with my base I choose this green print that reminds me of grass, then I wanted to mat that to a bright color to make it stand out. Using red as the backgroud mat I think was a really good choice. The jeans just had to be blue (duh!) and what better color for a bra and panties than pink?? Once I was done and put the clothes line on the base I was stumped at first on what sentiment to use. My first idea was "How's it Hangin?" but decided that just wasn't the right fit for me. So as you can see, it ended up being "Hang in There".


Have a great day!
