Jitterbuggin' Challenge is Born to Be Wild this week, using some wild Cricut animals. The challenge at Fantabulous Cricut this week is HOT (tropical, etc) so I thought a monkey would work for both. I used scrap paper from Daisy D's with bananas....scrap stripes from a John Deere collection...some great variegated fiber, brown ribbon, nesties, cuttlebug embossing, and the sweet little monkey from Sweethearts. Sentiment is computer generated. Ironically, my sketch was almost the same as Papertake Weekly's so I'm going to enter this one there too. And I found a new challenge site called Paper Playtime whose theme is Zoo this week as well.
Here is my version of Jitterbuggin's sketch #7 - Pick of the Litter - a pet showcase. Please don't tell my cats.....I have three....but I chose to make a dog card. I had this great paper from Love, Elsie....and I've never made that cute little puppy on Sweethearts.. so here is the result. Puppy and sentiment from Sweethearts....bones from Create a Critter. Buttons, floss, and pop dots..........
This card is a scraplift from the incredibly talented Amanda Broad (bunnylover on the Cricut board)
I loved the way she used the Mr. and Mrs. from Sweethearts with some MS punch arounds to create an elegant yet fun wedding card. I also used some Prima flowers and my Swiss Dots folder for this one. You can see more of Mandi's work at Having a Mandi Moment.
Woo Hoo! I finished what I hoped to today....and this is definitely the most posts I've had in one day! This card is from Sweethearts with George flowers held together with little brads with rhinestones attached and and an EK Success punch border. Lovin' that aqua/brown/lime combo.....easy to work with. Card is for My Pink Stamper NSD challenge #10.
I just got Sweethearts, basically for this sweet little bird cut. I've seen the cutest cards made from it and had to have it. Then I saw the great sketch at Totally Papercrafts, and knew it was just the one for these little cuties. And the challenge at Pink Elephant is Go Green - my favorite color. I loved the great aqua/lime K & co paper for the background.
I cut the bird's nest at 3"...added layers....embossed the nest...and stuck it in a double layer circle - embossed. Added some George flowers and a tourquoise bow. Now I have an anniversary card to send to my aunt and uncle next week.
