A Birthday with the Horses

Hi everyone-

Here's another LO that I've done that haven't been able to get around to posting until now.

This was Alyssa's birthday in 2009 and her gift from her Grandma Page was a training session at the horse farm right across the street from her (Grandma Page) and her own Christmas Tree Farm. She definitely enjoyed it!

So here they are:





These two patterned papers are from the DCWV Once Upon a Time pack and I took an x-acto knife and cut around the swirls of golden hair and tucked the pics underneath. Note: I just cut around the areas that I would be be tucking the pictures, not all of it. It's fun being able to have papers that have a design that you can use this technique:




Have a great weekend and TFL!

Love to Scrap!

Here's another LO for Scott's mom's scrapbook, this is Alyssa's 2008 birthday and as you can tell very happy to receive a baby Cricut. :)





I love these self-adhesive crytal embellishments but they are so hard to take off the plastic sheet and get it onto the paper. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do it?

-PPs: Karen Foster Design “Love to Scrap”
-Rhinestones: Michaels Recollections

Pretty in Pink

I'm late on getting my Bitten By the Bug challenge done, but at least I got it done! You should go over and check out what the other designers did here. The challenge was to use the Birthday Girl from the Storybook cartridge. I also used part of the wedding cake from the Wedding Solutions cartridge and made it into a shaped card.



I love all the uses for Martha Stewart's Drippy Goo punch!




TFL!!

Some Birthday Cards already done...

The following two cards I did back in February & March and had them on the bottom of my blog way before I learned how to post (took me a little bit to catch on to this blogging thing), so I thought I would post them and finally be able give credit to where credit is due. Both these cards are based on the idea of welding the letters to the base of the card using the Cricut Design Studio. This idea is from a very talented lady named Susan (check out her site, boy does she a very creative mind!)

So with her idea and my altering, here's a b-day card I made for my cousin who just turned 21. I used the CDS by welding the card and lettering from Alphalicious. The letters welded to the base of the card are with the shadow feature and then making a separate cut of the same letters in base feature. The hearts are from TBBM and the scallop frame is from AE. The stamp on the back of the card is from Inkadinkadoo which I used with various fluid chalk inks from ColorBox (which I also used to ink the edges of the scallop frame and hearts, along with I Kan'dee Pearlescent Jewel Tone Chalks). Hope you enjoy & TFL!










This next card I made for my boyfriend's daughter who just turned the BIG 1 0! Her b-day present from us was the baby Cricut and oh my does she love it!
Like the other card I used the CDS by welding the card and lettering, again using Alphalicious. The flowers (attached with mini heart brads) are from George, the hearts for the backside of the envie & the back of the card are from TBBM and the frame opening of the card is another goodie from Alphalicious (also cut from the base of the card by welding it together.
I again used various fluid chalk inks from ColorBox and I Kan'dee Pearlescent Jewel Tone Chalks (I LOVE using these combinations together) to shade the edges of pretty much everything. And finally added some fuzzy yarn by attaching it to the inside fold of the card with crystal brads. And here is what I came up with...TFL!









And here's the birthday girl, very happy with her present...
