Cricut Challenge 31

  I really haven't had much time to craft lately, but I am still trying to participate is die cut swaps. For the month of June there were 2 swaps I signed up for. The themes are Patriotic and BBQ. You have to make a 4" inch cut for each theme.
  For the BBQ theme I made a hot dog (above). It wasn't my first choice, but I like the hot dogs better than the first set of cuts I made.
   Below was my first set of cuts. It's an apple pie slice, but for some reason it just didn't work for me. So my swap partners are getting a slice anyways lol.

 For my patriotic cut I made a Home of the Brave. While I was making this I was thinking of my cousin Javi who was in 29 Palms Calif. for a training mission. So this cut really hit home for me. You see my cousin was in Afghanistan for 6 months in 2010. He missed several holidays with his very young family. Now when I say very young he had to leave shortly after his second son was born. I am truly proud of him and all of our service men and women. They're all in my prayers every night.  I love you Javi.

Home of the Brave           Stand and Salute at 4"

Cricut Challenge 23

Hello there, and Happy Sunday to you all. This week I have been on a major card making kick. Well because I needed to make a lot of cards. This first one above is a cute Birthday card for Logan. I really had no idea of what I was going to make so I started with just Mickey and built it from there. I hope he likes it.

I used Cricut Cartridges
Mickey and friends for the Mickey
Mickey Font for the wording
Teardrop  for the balloons
Black and white twine for the string on the balloons. ( thank god I saved my scraps of twine)

Here are the rest of the cards I made this week.


This one was inspired by a Pinterest post I saw:

This one below, I found a pic that I copied on the Internet. I actually hand cut this one, so no Cricut or Pazzles for this card. I did add some squares to this card after I took the picture, it just needed something else.

This one below, is for my husbands co-workers wife. She recently had a Baby Girl weighing over 10 LBS. Yikes!!!!!! I just love Twine (Strawberry Cupcake)

 This one below, is another Pinterest inspired card. I added some chalk to the embossed flowers and stems. 



This card below, I did with the new Martha Stewart Punches from HSN. They send you a cute sample project to get you started.  I liked it so much that I had to make it for a close and Dear friend of mine. It didn't come out perfect but it's still pretty.

 I hope you like my cards. Thanks for stopping by and visiting me. Have a wonderful day
