Beachy Keen

The challenge at Fantabulous Cricut this week is the great outdoors. And when I think of outdoors, I'm headed to the beach. All the cuts on this card are from Life's a Beach - the coconut palm at 3 1/2", the crab at 1", and the whale at 1 1/2". Paper is from DCWV 2008 Summer Stack (trying to use things up so I can buy more!!) Waves are torn white cord cardstock and beach is sand paper cut with wavy edge scissors. Sentiment is a leftover from years ago.

Summertime!

It's summertime.....and the folks at Fantabulous Cricut want to see your cool summertime treats this week. I chose my favorite summer fruit - watermelon. It is optional shaped card week, and I went for it. Actually, this is my first shaped card ever.

The watermelon is from Doodlecharms....layered with some pop dots. The red/pink part lifts for the sentiment. (I forgot to take the picture......) The crow is made from Doodlecharms too.....the eggs and hearts for the feathers. Her hat is from Paper Doll Dress Up as are her "turkey" legs. Flowers are Prima with some buttons and floss.

I made this card on vacation......with my Baby Bug. I didn't have Design Studio or a Gypsy.....just trial and error on the sizes. It was a really fun card to make....but I am sure glad to be home with my Expression!!
