Cricut Cards Challenge: For challenge # 30, make a card for a wedding using any cartridge(s) or colors you'd like. Check them out here!

Here is my entry for both!
I could not find a wedding cake on any of my cartridges except Wild Card and I didn't want to use that one so I used the Birthday Cake from Stretch your Imagination, I just left off the candles!
The paper is from K*I Memories, the flowers are from Joann's and I used a little punch for the little blue flowers. Sentiment is from Close to my Heart. I found these great colored large staples at Micheal's so I added them to the ribbon.

My Creative TimeThrow Back Challenge DoodleCharms

Throwback Thursday Challenge 54

DoodleCharms, Lay-out!!
Check out Emma's great blog here!

So this was a challenge because I like to make cards and struggle to make lay-outs. But I wanted to make a scrapbook for a neighbor and give it to her for Christmas... I was able to make a Dad page when I completed a challenge for Father's Day, so this challenge is perfect because I wanted to do an Easter page.

I was able to use the bunny and the Easter egg from DoodleCharms. I so need to practice making lay-outs!
But anyways here it is!
Bunny and eggs are cut from DoodleCharms, I embossed and glitter the eggs.

Alphabet Challenge H

Our challenge for you this week, is H for Hearts. We would like to see hearts on your work somewhere, either bp's, stamps, embellishments etc. You can visit the Alphabet Challenge Blog by clicking HERE!

Here is my entry:


I used Paper Pups for the heart, I cut it twice and then added acetate paper between them using foam dots and filled it with pink glitter. When I taped the Heart Vellum paper down you could see my tape lines so I added the scallop border around to hide it. My cuts were off just a little bit, So I'll have to measure a little bit better next time!

What do you have around your house?
This week's challenge is to "use something from around the house" as an embellishment.

So I used the fork and spoon from my kitchen drawer! I have tons of them and I thought it was perfect for this lay-out.


I used accent essentials to cut the large circle and then used the fun summer paper that I found at Target. The BBQ was a cut that I received from Alison my swap partner from Momo's swap.

Still have my table!

Golf Cart Brag Chipboard book! ( Made from Scratch!!)

Cover:

So this is what I have been working on!! I had this in my head but I knew I would have to design it myself and how long that could take... but Hooray, it is complete and it is better than I imagined!! I used SCAL to make it. It is 7 1/2 x 6". ( So Plenty of room for photos!)

I first designed the silhouette only of the golf cart, then I redesigned it to make room for some photos!

Then I glued and glued everything together. I wanted the golf balls to be shiny so I printed the Titleist Logo on photo paper, and used the center point to cut the circles, and ran them through my bubbles folder using my cuttlebug. I attached them only to the last page so you can see them as you flip through the book.

I then used my paper punch and punched out the corners and added the ring.
then I decorated each page front and back.
