Yellow Submarine Card/ Birthday Celebration

Using Cricut Life's A Beach and other cartridges I made a 5"x7" Yellow Submarine card for my

son's 11th birthday. It was a great day with family & friends swimming, BBQing, cupcakes and presents. I had to cut many periscopes to mimic the Beatles Yellow Submarine and I paper pieced

the layers to get the different colors. I used the Animal Kingdom cartridge for the dog and cat heads.

I custom decorated them to look like our cat Jack and dog Minnie. I used Paper Dolls for the boy head and hair and Peachy Keen face stamps to look like my little guy (I guess not so little anymore!) and Groovy Times for the rainbow. I would have done more to the card if I wasn't in such a hurry with all the party preparations.

I used one of those awesome action wobbles I bought from The Scrapbooking Queen.

 They are the coolest! 

I added another rainbow and music notes to the inside of the card.

 

 

I found this awesome Yellow Submarine ice cube tray and made some submarine candies!

 

I then used them to decorate my famous chocolate-chocolate-chip cupcakes that my friends and family love and ask for all the time. I used the rainbow sour tape for the rainbow. I've seen pics all over pinterest with the rainbow cupcakes and thought that it would add just the right touch.

 

 

I decorated the house with rainbow streamers and these Beatle's cards that I used for the invitations. as well as more Yellow Submarine cuts. It was a fun day and my son was very happy!

 

 

I will be entering my card into the "Anything Goes" challenge on the Action Wobble website.

Oh Happy Day Birthday Card

Hello! Here's a birthday card I made for my lovely Aunt who loves little piggies.

 

 

I used Cricut Create a Critter for the little piggy (uh oh, I can't remember if it was 1 or 2) and propped him up with foam tape. The card is from the Wild Card Cartridge and I used different sparkly papers from DCWV. I pop dotted the sparkly balloon and added rhinestones for more bling.

 

It's been a while since I've been on my blog. Lot's of terrible things happened after we lost our dog Mickey and we tried to find him back in February.  Can you believe we were threatened, vandalized and pranked over and over again over our lost dog flyers. We never got him back and we have since moved from that horrible neighborhood into a brand new house and location. My heart will forever be broken from the loss of my dear sweet Mickey. Things are looking up and I am almost done putting my craftroom back together. Hopefully I will be crafting more and visiting all my favorite bloggers. I have missed it so much!

I will be entering this into the cardztv challenge pop it up or make it wiggle:

Penguin Birthday Invitations

I made these invitations for a celebration of my daughter's 13th birthday. At 13 she asked to "hang out" with her friends. So we decided to invite 12 girls to the movies, Shakey's pizza and then to our house for a slumber party. This will all be happening on Saturday so I have lots of prep for all those teenagers coming over!!

I chose the invitation card from the Cricut Wild Card cartridge and cut it at 4 1/2" so 2 would fit on a 12"x12" sheet of white paper. I used my Imagine so I could fill the cuts with the cartridge paper and have them all matching. I found the cuts from Imagine More Cards and chose the colored papers from that cartridge as well. I used my gypsy to remove the face cuts from the penguin in the Create a Critter cartridge and used the Happy Lashes Peachy Keen stamps for the faces. I stickled the scarf and added some purple and white twine for the balloon string.

This is the backside and shows how it opens. I used the computer to type out the invite and attached it to the liner that goes in with the corner cuts that the invitation cut makes on the Wild Card cartridge.

This is how they looked front and back! I made 13 of these and it went pretty quick using the Imagine. I'm not a pro with my Imagine and have yet to try my gypsy with it but I am happy that I decided to use it! My dog is still lost and I have not been crafting like I would like. It feels like losing a family member to me. I am so sad. Please say a prayer for my lost dog and that he is safe and comes home soon.

Penguin Birthday Card

I made my daughter a penguin Birthday card using the Cricut Create a Critter 2 cartridge. It was a very special birthday because she turned 13! I can't believe I am a mother to a teenager. I had so many plans but with our dog still lost we have been spending every spare moment looking for him. We will not give up but it has been such a sad and worrisome time. This card is very simple but she loves penguins and purple so at least I got that right!

 

I will enter this card in the Cardz Tv "Make a Wish" Challenge
