Challenge #302-GraduationMake a project about any kind of Graduation!This Weeks Sponsor
Dreaming Tree SVG's

The winner will receive a $20 Gift Certificate!
To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least 1 Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used. If you use a Cricut Explore machine, at least one cut must be from the Cricut catalog of images.  If it isn't a card, you will get two entries into the drawing!

The University of North Texas Colors are Green, Black and White and our adopted college daughter (from Church)  is graduating from there.  Enclosed in the box are some hugs, kisses and $$$.  

The card is a Make-It Cricut Project you can find on the Design Space Home Page.   The Box can be found on the Tags Bags Boxes and More Cartridge or Pretty Packages 

The tassel can be made by making quick cuts across a long strip of paper, attaching it to a ribbon or string and rolling it, finishing with glue or scor-tape.  It just makes the graduation package!  There are hundreds of tutorials on a simple google search.

I hope you'll join us and play at Fantabulous Cricut! 

I won Top 3 

And I WON at

Giddy-Up #Bugaboo

Penny's challenge this week has us using #Bugaboo stamps.  The sentiments that came with the stamp are "howdy" or "giddy-up"
I loved coloring this with my prisma pencils.

Amazon!

I LOVE PUNS!  In fact, way back in the beginning of my blog I did cards that were almost exclusively "punny."  

While I LOVE what I am learning with my Copic markers and coloring.  My first love will always be my Cricut and creating things with puns!

This card is made with:

• Go Canada Cartridge
• DCWV  Paper
• Fancy Pants Paper Pack
• Cricut SANS font
• Twine
• Neenah Cardstock Base
• Zig Blue Glue
• Herringbone Embossing for Fur Effect on Moose

There's no sentiment inside yet.  It could be a joke, 

Thinking of You, Just Because, etc.  I send a lot of "Get Well" cards and jokes and amusing cards are always welcome.  

Hope you will join us at Fantabulous Cricut!

Gallbladder Problems

My friend, Mike, was in the hospital for a week before they finally discovered the problem was his gallbladder.  They removed it and he's good to go.  I made a card for him to make him smile a little.



This is a favorite die cut and stamp set from Close To My Heart called School Years.  I don't care so much about the school theme as much as I just love that there is a little boy with the group that I can use for male cards.

This Card is Cricut Print and Cut Word Bubble and Star, CTMH - School Years, Fancy Pants Paper,  #BradandEyletOutlet brads.

Summertime and tubin' in Texas

ALL DRESSED UP and PAPER CREATOR

This is my card:

Cricut water cuts from Wild Card -Grass
and the Water from Disney Princess
Eyelet Outlet for the ladybug and flower brads
Ribbon

I loved this image because of my Summer memories in Texas, tubin' down the Guadalupe river.  Youth group activities and family fun at the river are a huge part of my own teenage memories and then I passed those down to my own kids as well.  Plus, this little lady is not a skinny mini.  She is one of the Busty Ladies in the Paper Creator series.

Thanks for looking! 

It's a Dog Day Birthday

Turquoise Fancy Pants and various papers
Craft brown paper polka dot bag
White opaque pen
Buttons, Stickers and brads
Twine and Fuzzy yarn

I hope she likes it.  I know the dog will but it's  not the dogs feelings I care about.  :-)
