Ruff

Made this card for my dd friend who was ill last week and was taken to the hospital for numerous tests.
I cut the cute dog from Create A Critter at 3" and the word at 1"
this is for Cricut Cardz Challenge (color theme) and Crafty Catz for animal challenge. The girl whom I am making this card for loves orange and dogs. So these challenges were perfect!
The loop punch is from MS.

Kiki and Kitty

Here is a card using a Pollycraft image brought together by the sketch at CardPatterns and elements idea from Crafty Catz to use buttons and bows.

I used border punch from MS, buttons are misc in my stash, and the ribbon is from Target dollar spot.

Hugs and Kisses

I cut the heart from the Cricut Wedding cartridge at 3' as well as the layer. I added some glitter and pearls. The background base card was run through the Victoria Cuttlebug folder and I ran a brown ink pad over the embossed areas.
The tag is a Marvy punch that I hand drew stitching and the sentiment.
Entering this in the Crafty Catz card and tag challenge.

a very merry Christmas

How many weeks till Christmas? Gotcha.... just my weekly Christmas card to be prepared as I make around 80 each year.

This card is for a few challenges:
ABC Christmas Challenge - H is for Holly
Allsorts Challenge - use stitches (I used rub ons)
CSAYL - use die cuts - the top layer and the rectangle
Crafty Catz use red green and a punch - the holly is actually a Cricut cut from A Child's Year cartridge
Quixotic Challenge - to use metal - I used the turns and and the brads from Stampin' Up hodgepodge hardware kit

Merry

Created this card using the layout from Creat4Fun challenge#7 and the concept of snowmen from Bah! Humbug # 6 challenge.

Elements included those from Frosted Designs (stars) and Crafty Catz Button and Bows challenge #19
I used my circle Coluzzle to cut the double mat behind the snowman (which was cut from Doodle charms at 2 3/4"). The sentiment is from a Cuttlebug embossing folder that I added Martha Stewart glitter too.

Sending hugs your way

I love how this card came out - The image was a free digi at Sew many cards
This card was a multi creation by following these blog challenges
1) Crafty Catz Challenge 16 - love
2) Charisma Cardz challenge 3 was to use fruity colors (that's why I love this card - the colors are cheerful)
3) One Stop Craft Challenge #64 love & kisses (in my case "hugs")
and what helped me tie it all together was 4) the wonderful sketch GS #22 at Get Sketchy

Happy Birthday - Get sketchy

Here is a card for my nephew birthday next month I used the LO from Get Sketchy #21 challenge

The cute robot image is from a swap so I am not sure who makes it. If you know - leave me a comment so I can update my post.
Martha Stewart border punch used to accent the image.
Eyelets to tie in the robot theme
This also goes along with a challenge at CraftyCatz blog.

2) Daring Cardmakers - to make a white card with only a hint of color
3) Frosted Designs - to use the same shape but diff sizes - I used the rectangle

Celebrate Family

I am pre-planning a double layout for Thanksgiving. Wow - will be great - snap a couple pictures for each side of the layouts and pop them in and be done! No delay.
To help me accomplish this I use the sketch at Scrap sketch blog, At Crafty Catz we had to use the word Celebrate amd at Bitten By The Bug we had to use the cornucopia cut on PDDU Cricut Cartridge.
Here is the double page LO I did.
Here is a close up of the pages.
Data:
Pilgrim man - 3", Pilgrim female 2 3/4", Turkey on plate 3" (yes 3 inches), apple pie (which I'll be making 3 of them!) also cut at 3". Cornucopia cut at 3 and the fruit cut multiple items. All inked. I cut the green circle using my Coluzzle. The little scallops are actually Creative Memories mini cual circle punch. The glitter strips are from HSN. Oh yes, the Title is cut using the font (my fav) from A Child's year cut at 2".

Thinking of you

I created this card with the help of two challenges

1) Crafty Catz Challenge # 7 "Going Dottie" and 2) Paper Blooms color challenge - to use blue orange and white

I cut the flowers from Stampin Up 5 petal punch, the back ground is Cuttlebug Spots and Dot embossing folder - added a little polka dot pp and pearls.

Sentiment is a stamp from Stampendous and punched out from this fab SU punch (raised on pop dots). White pigment ink used to stamp the petals and sentiment.

Sketchy Thursdays Family Challenge

I am entering this in on Sketchy Thursdays as well as Crafty Catz and for Circle Card or LO on Paper Blooms.

At Sketchy Thursdays we had to create a LO using orange brown and teal - and a family or fall theme. At Crafty Catz we had to use three buttons or brads. At Paper Blooms there had to be a circle on a LO - or the card had to be a circle.

Here is a LO I followed to accomplish this.

Sparkle

I made this for three challenges:
Die Cuts R Us - make your own embellishment,
Crafty Catz - use color scheme Black, White and one more color (I chose Red), a ribbon and embellishment (mini brads and glitter) and
I followed the card designed today at Christmas with the Cricut. Week 12: Fancy Card Friday with A Child's Year and Snow Friends
