Cricut Challenge 28

 This is the last page of my book. This is where I will add pictures of the class and a picture of my kids individually. I didnt put them in yet because I didn't want to put photos of the other kids without permission of their parents.

  The cartidge I use     Plantin School Book for the 2011 2012 class of.

This will be a long post sorry, I will put a picture of the entire book here so you can see it all together.

Here is part 2 of my post

    Well this was a true challenge for me. My husband is the absolute hardest person to surprise. When I try to surprise him, it always gets spoiled. But This year I finally managed to get him something that he has always wanted and surprised him.  This is the cover I got for his new Ipad in his favorite color. I added vinyl to it, to remind him that he is a great father to our 2 wonderful children. By the way, when he opened it, he was really surprised and happy.

The cart I used for the vinyl decal is
Father's Day Solutions cart.

 Thank you for stopping by today

Cricut Challenge 19

Good morning and Happy Sunday to you all.  I had a great night sleep last night, after 4 straight nights of insomnia. I have no idea what was up with that. I hope that little phase is over.

 A couple of weeks ago, we went on a fantastic Mojave Trail ride, which took us 3 days to complete. There were a total of 5 Jeeps on the adventure. My husband and I were the only ones who had a Trail Safety Flag. Which made it easier for our group members to see us over all the Cacti and brush in the middle of nowhere. So at a quick stopping point we all got out to stretch our legs and take pics, someone suggested we all should have the trail flags for saftey. Well my husband and I looked at each other, and I said I could do that. So we came home and I went to the fabric store and bought 5 colors of nylon flag fabric. I also dusted off my YuDu machine. I cut out our club Logo in black cardstock and burned it to the YuDu screen.  The above picture is the end results. I found out that screening nylon is much harder than I thought it would be. But after all said and done, they came out great.

The carts I used are
Dude for the Mountain image
Plantin School Book for the wording.


  I hope you like my project this week. Have a great day.

Thanks for stopping by.

Week 4 Cricut Challenge

 Good Morning to you all and happy Sunday.  Last week-end I went to the Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook Expo and I was able to get the new Close to my Heart Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge. It's such a beautiful cartridge and I'm really glad that I got it.
 So my mother needed a retirement card for a friend of her. So I decide to make the sample card from the AP cart. Very very easy to make. The flowers were a bit tricky to work with but once I did the first one, the second one was easy. I would recommend using hot glue, otherwise you will be sitting there holding the flower together while the liquid glue dries. The only things I changed a bit was, I made it a retirement card instead of a birthday card and I added yellow pebbles from Heart2Home (Teri S.) to add a little dew like effect in the center of the roses. I inked all of the edges with SU Crumb Cake ink.
 I hope my mom's friend likes the card.

On a side note I also made a decal for my husbands tool box in the garage. So I played with some shapes to come up with this decal for him. I'm sure you will all recognize the symbol. lol

 OK so for this decal I used George and Basic shapes for the circles, Makin' the Grade for the slats, and Plantin Schoolbook for the Jeep. I love to make decals, but Cricut doesn't always have the image I want, so I have to kind of make my own. I love doing that because it really makes it a challenge and its fun to play with my Gypsy.

I hope you like this weeks projects, see you soon.





Cricut Challenge week-2

  Good Morning and a Very Happy Sunday to you all. This week-end has been absolutely great. I got to go to a 2 day crop and had a great Mommy's 2 days off. I got a lot accomplished. I will share pictures of that later.  So I was really Motivated to create my 2nd weeks challenge. While my Husband watched football, I sat next to him with my Lovely Gypsy. I designed the entire layout using the Layers feature. I separated each cut by color then cut it all with the E-2. The Cartridges I used were:

3 Birds on Parade- for the moon,I inked the edge with Only Orange Ink to give it dimension.

Happy Hauntings-for the bats and the Happy Halloween

October 31st -Spider,Tree,Cat,Witch,Gates and tombstones

Chic & Scary for the pumpkins

Plantin SchoolBook - Grass

 The pumpkins were a last minute add on because I received the cart in the mail lol. They are not adhered to the page yet because I'm not sure if I want to keep them on it or not. I did take a picture without them, but it came out too blurry and I'm on a time limit here. Yes I know I'm addicted to Cricut Carts, well with crafting in general.

 I hope you like my Layout and challenge for this week.

 Thank you for stopping by and have a Crafty afternoon.
