My Hero

Hello! Here is my layout that I made for my second to last day on the Everyday Cricut Blog. :( It is super simple and will be going in my hubby's Navy album. As soon as I get the pics back, it will be of his advancement to First Class Petty Officer. ;) The "my Hero" and the pointy stars are from the Stand and Salute cricut cartridge. The rounder stars are from the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. And the sweet faces on the stars are from the Boy Mates set from PeachyKeenStamp.com.

See you tomorrow with LOTS more stuff!!!

Forget Prince Charming...I have a SAILOR

Hiya! It's my Pink Cricut design team day!!! My gift bag is from Plantin Schoolbook and the frog is from the Sweethearts cartridge. And I HAD to give him a Sailor hat from Paper Doll Dress Up. I used the leftover paper from my bag to make my own "filler". I ran it through my paper crimper and then cut thin strips with my trimmer. I love how my "filler" totally matches my project. ;)

I "masked" part of the cute sentiment from PinkByDesign so I could make it say sailor instead of soldier. I have to say that MY SAILOR just LOVED this project!!! ;) Pop over to Pink Cricut to see what the other AWESOME designers made!!!

Fun with Emma! ☺ and a GIVEAWAY

Hi!!!! Emma asked me to be her "special guest" today for some Halloween fun!!! So, lets get to it! This first card was made with Happy Hauntings and the Monster Mash from PeachyKeen....I used glossy accents to make his hair shiny...

This kitty card was also made with Happy Hauntings...

I used the Tear Kitty Face Parts set for his eyes and nose.

For this froggy card, I used the Boys Will Be Boys cartridge. The witch hat is from Paper Doll Dress Up. The Spider is from Nikkity Knack Cat Gang.

I used the exact same frog cut for this non-Halloween card just to show you how changing your patterned paper really makes a huge difference. The Unfrog-getable stamp is from MyPinkStamper.

For this SUPER SIMPLE card I used the Pumpkin Carving cartidge and my gypsy. I welded two circles from Plantin Schoolbook together, and voila!

Phew, and for my last card I used October 31st. Do you have card overload yet??? HEHEHE. Now, onto a GIVEAWAY!!! I am giving away one of Emma's AWESOME Gypsy Magic DVD's!!!!!!! WOO HOO!!!! AND also, one of her super cute tote bags!!!! Just leave a comment on this post for your chance to win win win!!!
