BBTB2: Cricut - Happy Birthday Friend

I just love this little dragonfly, she's got the cutest google eyes and sparkly wings.  She's ready to land on a flower and wish someone special a happy birthday.   I went a little bright on the colors with this card as it is for a little lady who surely will love all the sparkle.

Our challenge for the next two weeks at Bitten by the Bug2 is "Feminine Birthday".  That's a pretty broad category, so there should be lots of exciting entries.  You can link up your card or project to our Linky at Bitten by the Bug2 HERE.

I used three cartridges for this card:  Thoughts and Phrases, Hot Summer Days, and Cindy Loo.  Then I used Stickles, inks, and gems to finish it off

BBTB2: Cricut - Home is where you are

By now my followers know we have an RV and take it out every so often for a long weekend and at least one long trip a year.  I don't have that many pictures of us and the RV, so I made a layout with a trailer so I'll be sure to get some photos to match the scrapbook pages!

I have to credit this layout to Pat Johnson, who shares many designs of hers on the Facebook Group "Cricut Design Space" (just search for her name in the files section). The file is HERE. It was an easy layout when you don't have to think up a design, choose colors, and then cut and assemble, some of those steps were done for me.   It is a perfect layout for our Bitten by the Bug2 challenge this week, which is to "use a WORD from a Cricut cartridge".   Michelle from Crazy Cricut Scrapper is our hostess this week.  She is the queen of layouts.  Join the fun and link up your Cricut inspired project.

BBTB2: Cricut Adorable baby Layout

I am going to try and make sure the third grandchild gets as much picture time as the first two did.  So far, I am accomplishing that.  I haven't scrapped many of them, but I have a good collection of the little guy.

When this week's Bitten by the Bug2 challenge came up, I knew I had to put in some baby pictures, he won't mind that the embellishments are flowers.  Our challenge theme for the week is "lots of flower accents", chosen by our hostess Marti, from Pez-A-Doodle blog.   I went with some modern looking flowers on a red background.  At the end, I added the flower paper background, but now thinking I should have left it off - the traditional clashes with the modern.

My daughter was dropping off the kids a few weeks ago and I decided to snap a few pictures of her and the baby.  #1 granddaughter had to get her picture taken as well, glad she did as both snapshots turned out nice.

Join our Bitten By the Bug2 team and link up your creations or cards that contain Cricut cut flowers to our blog for a chance to win the project of the week.

Cricut Cindy Loo - Every Girl Wants to Be a Fairy - Card

A friend gave me several fairy stamps and I thought my granddaughter would love to make fairy cards and projects.  Little did I know, that I love them too.   I made this card for a friend who loves fairies and has a fairy garden.  She gave me some plants for my yard; I made this card to say thanks.

It is framed by a Cricut cut from Cindy Loo that I cut twice and then added some Stickles and Skittles for sparkle.  Colored with watercolor pencils that are over 60 years old - they belonged to my father.  Enjoy!  The sentiment is "every little girl wants to be a fairy".

Nor Cal Swarm - Crop for the Cure

Hi -- I had a blast at the Nor Cal Swarm this past weekend. 140 ladies, most with Cricuts, spending the day scrapbooking and Cropping for the Cure in Rocklin, CA. There was door prizes, cartridges for everyone, food, silent auction, and a raffle for a Pink Ribbon Quilt. I loved to shop, and did my share. While walkin around I saw ladies working on cards, cruise and Halloween layouts, and Monique's kits. I borrowed the Paisley cart from a new friend, and went to town cutting lots of words and hair dryers (my daughter is a hairdresser). It took me two nights to put this layout together and visits to two scrapbook stores to find the "ribbon" paper. I used lots of carts on this layout. (Home Accents, Home Decor, Cindy Loo, A Childs Year, George, Indie Art, and WIMG) It was fun, yet emotional to make. I am going to write the names of friends who have survived breast cancer around the edges of the pages. Enjoy.
