It's Challenge Time

Hello Card Lovers,

    Wells it's almost 1:00am here, and its now officially my Birthday. It's late and so I am going to try and make this short and sweet. I have a card I made for two different challenges over at, DieCuttin Divas & Tuesday Throw Down. So without further ado.....

      My card base measures at 5.5 x 4.25, my sailboat is cut at 3.5",along with all its layers. I just fell in love with this little sailboat and have wanted to use it on a card for a while and I think these two challenges it will fit the theme perfectly.

      I have never actually been on a sailboat, but I think they are absolutely beautiful and I just love anything nautical. I hope one day to maybe be able to ride on one, it should be hard considering I live in the state of 10,000 lakes. Well I hope everyone enjoyed my bright and cheerful nautical card as much as I do.

Terrific Tuesday Challenge- Retro Fun

All the papers except for the card base and the paper the sentiment was stamped on was printed and cut using my Imagine and the Kate's Kitchen Cartridge.

         I just fell in love with this cartridge & its retro vibe and I knew I had to have it, as I do most every Cricut cartridge.

         I feel like I should have been born in the 50's or 60's because I am just in love with anything retro or vintage. I hope you all enjoyed my card and I hope to post more Imagine card projects in the near future.

Thanks & Happy Scrappin"

Summer Fun (Cardz TV Challenge)

Hello Card Lovers,
           
     Yay, I have another card I made for a challenge that's going on over at Cardz TV Blog. I have been pretty lucky that I have been able to get into my Craft Room a lot lately. I guess the reason isn't the best, because it involves my little peanut cutting teeth. I guess we are lucky in the sense that when they are coming in he likes to sleep, but I would rather him not be in pain anymore. Fingers crossed that we will be moving away from that stage soon. Well on with my card.....

This card definitely makes me want to go to the beach. I live in Northern Minnesota and this past week we have been in the 90's but with the heat index we have been over 100 degrees, Yuck !!!
