Go Wild!

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.

Beach Fun - Jitterbuggin Sketch 8

Greetings from beautiful Edisto Beach, SC! I'm having a great time on vacation....and found the inspiration to make this fun card for Jitterbuggin' this week. Card is 5" square. The paper is from a DCWV summer stack...cut into 2 1/4" squares to follow the pattern. The center rectangle is embossed with the basket weave folder, trimmed out with red and orange ribbon, and edged with the pinking scissors. The cuts are from Life's a Beach....beach cut at 2 1/2" in yellow and orange....layered with pop dots. Cut the pelican from the title....layered him in white with more pop dots....and added silver metallic and black accents. The little crab is cut at 1"...detailed with a sharpie. Added some more ribbon and bright yellow buttons. Now doesn't this make you wish you were here???

Hop over to Jitterbuggin' Challenge and show me your beach creation.........you could win a new Sentimentals cartridge.

I'm also adding this card to the Polka Doodles summer themed challenge for this week. Wanna feel really summery??? Go over there and look at the fab DT creations!!

Puppy Love - Jitterbuggin #7

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..........

Star Spangled Card

Here is my card for the Jitterbuggin' Challenge sketch this week. Believe it or not, this is the first patriotic card I've made. We are usually on vacation, and I suppose I'm too busy to scrap. Hmmm....won't be the last....it was fun! George stars and circles, Autumn leaves stamps, and scrap paper. Lots of Cat's Eye Chestnut Roan ink......little ribbon and raffia. Stars are embossed with the twigs folder and layered with a button. This is for Fantabulous Cricut. MySheriCrafts, Cricut Cardz Challenge, Papercraft Star, Cuttlebug Blog, and Cuttlebug Spot too.
