A Day To Remember

Happy Friday everyone!

I hope you all planning a nice weekend, I know I am! I am heading to town to my best friend's (Troy) mom and dad's place to celebrate 51 years of marriage!!! Isn't that awesome, I just love when people stick it out together through thick and thin, it is so rare these days. They are such an amazing couple and you never leave there without being high on love, I love them to pieces.

So to help celebrate this lovely occasion I did a card for them, you know it!

Once again I used the Nifty Fifty's cricut cartridge, (love this cartridge!) The sentiment says "A day to remember."

 I may not be posting as much but will do my best to post at least 3 a week including a free digital. Why??? Because I never found a good solution to my online store so I am going to have to put my skills to use and build my own website from Dreamweaver CS4...don't worry I will be visiting all of you!!!

Have a super fantastic weekend!

Niffty Fiffty's "Daddyo"

Happy Thursday!!!

Well I finally did it, I made a masculine card that I actually like and am proud of...if you have been following me you know that this is my biggest challenge in card making which I know is also for many of you.

This card was made for my friend's father's birthday using Nifty Fifty's Cricut Cartridge, (I am so in love with everything on this cartridge)
I pop dotted the guitars and sentiment as you will see in the second photo.

To add strings to the guitar:

• Cut a piece of card stock the length of the guitar
• Add a blob of white paint to a piece of scrap paper
• Spread the paint in a horizontal line
• Using only the edge of the paper, dip in paint
• Add to guitar!

Have a great day!

Owl Always Be There For Yoo

FCCB CHALLENGE (Out like a Lamb)

This is my second post today , click here to see Wisp Tutorial (Frenzy) and my little fella's new hair cut!

I love joining the challenges over at FCCB (Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog), I get to see many other creations in the link up section. This weeks challenge is called "Out like a lion" and we are asked to make a project with a gentle animal, lamb, kitten, puppy etc. I wouldn't normally consider an owl to fit in the gentle category but this fella looks harmless , lol

I used the cricut cartridge Cindy Lou to make the layered owl and I love him! I also tried using different bright contrasting color combination and I love the way it turned out!

Here is my project!

I have a heart template I used to trace around and cut out two of them, one was a solid white , I stamped the trees using Ranger's black Soot Ink Pad, The other heart , background and top layer of owl was made with foil card, doesn't it pop?? I had so much fun creating this loud card!

Tomorrow I will be posting about what cutting program can be used with Cricut expression.

Thanks for visiting!
