Confessions of a Paperholic

Hello,

 Time to create a Mother's Day card using any cartridge and colors. I used the Storybook cartridge to create the petals for the flower and an embossing folder to add texture (the name of the folder escapes me). The paper is from K & Company, the bling and paper flower is from imaginesce, and the ribbon is from my stash. Enjoy! Happy Mother's Day!

Hello,

I just thought I would share the birthday card I made for my wonderful husband for his 34th birthday. I made each of the faux matches from different pieces of scrap paper. The flames are from the Birthday Bash cartridge. Enjoy =)

I chose to do an Easter Layout...thank you CCC team for the suggestion, now I am actually ahead in my scrapbooking (a first for sure). In my Easter layout I used the Doodlecharms, Storybook, and Nate's ABCs cartridges (I love that cartridge). Thanks again for the inspiration design teams.

Wow! It has been way too long! My family and I have finally made it to our new home and I am looking forward to getting back into scrapbooking and card making =)

This week's Cricut Cardz Challenge is to create a card using a house image, lace and a flourish. I will write that I found this challenge difficult, but worth the effort and a chance to think outside the box. I decided on a Joy-fold card. The house die-cut is from the Wrap It cartridge. The flourish is from the Cindy Loo cartridge and the bit of lace from my mother's-in-law sewing stash.



Thanks for checking out my blog and card!

The challenge for this week is to create a child's Valentine's Day card using any cartridge and color(s). This card is for my adorable son, Cooper, who just loves Pixar's Cars. It was fun making this card, if not a little time consuming (each car die cut has several intricate pieces). I then finished the card by adding eyelets to the wheels and in the phrase. I know he will get a big kick out of "The King" V-day card.

So with life being what it is--busy--I missed CCC #57; however, I thought I would still post the finished product. The challenge was to make a card using any Cricut cartridge using the colors red, black and white. This card is a Valentine's Day card for my hubby. I used the Doodlecharms and Happy Hauntings Cartridge to create the heart and frame. I also tried out some new and old techniques. I did heat embossing on the card and rose, and created the three-dimensional rose using the Tim Holtz grunge flower technique. I would like to thank PaperPhenomenon for the tutorial (found at Youtube.com). Letter chipboard and red buttons completed the card. All in all I am happy with the finished product--hope my hubby loves it too.

I am promising myself something new this year-get back into scrapbooking and card making. Let's see how well I do.
