Cricut Cardz Challenge #38, Jamie's T. bd card

For challenge # 38...ANYTHING GOES! Make a card using any cartridges, colors or theme you'd like.
I have wanted to make this cake for awhile now,so with Jamie's bd coming up soon I thought what a better time. I used wild card and from my kitchen with my design studio.
you would think that the frame was from wild card, but no, "it' your day" was and the frame is a tab from FMK   re-sized with my DS,inking and liquid pearls

                                                                    the inside

Mojo Monday #152 Eli's Christmas card

for Mojo I tipped the sketch on the side and saw a rocking horse, so I made Eli's first Christmas card.
this also is a 4 1/2 x 6 1/4 inch size, a bit larger than I normally make. but will be fine, it is the larger
invitation envelope that wal-mart now sells. I do believe I would be lost without my design studio, I love knowing the size of everything before I cut. and saves on time....

                                                            the inside

Jeannie's rose

this would be my take on Jeannie Phillips rose...she took the stem of Indie arts rose and the top of Wild card..
the frame is also from cricut wild card

                                                         a little sparkle to the flower

Mojo Monday #151

Hi all, for mojo monday I decided to go Christmas again,  if I keep this up I will have all my cards done this year.
I liked this sketch so much I made 2,  I just might keep doing that to make sure Christmas cards are not totally
forgotten this year...
I used my design studio again,  I'm really loving this
 with Joy's of the season cricut cartridge  and songbirds for the background
sweet dreams holiday avenue from my mind's eye paper from last year.
the card looks better in real life,

quilts of different colors

HI over at  Cardz TV   Mary had a way to use up scraps and make quilts out of them. So far I only made the quilt and made many changes to mine, they still need to be made into card so here is a look at mine so far.....

lots of one inch squares, and I have more ready to go.... as you can see above I also used


and scored at 1 1/8 inch on the back side for another look....yup... this was a lot of work!!!
thanks for looking    Carol<><

1st Tri-Shutter card, M & D 60th Anniversary

Hi all,  for some reason I thought a trishutter card was going to be a really big card (like 8 inches tall)
so I shied away from making one. I was looking for a new fold and found this one on splitcoaststampers on you tube, when I saw that it was only 5 1/2 inches tall I thought I would give it a try,
this is for my Mom & Dad's 60th anniversary coming up in Sept.
all the patterned paper is from linen closet.. it also took several hours to make with all of the cuts.

                                                           opened to 5 1/2 x 12 inches

                                what it looks like before the finishing touches

Jeannie's baby angel and lamb

Hi all, My sister had asked me to cut 20 sets of crosses and ovals for her to make for her granddaughters dedication into the church. so I decided to make a card for Breilla using the same cross along with Jeannie's baby angel and I also found this lamb on her blog...

Lorraine's Anniversary card "56"

Hi all, today  I was helping out a new person to the cricut world, not that I am an expert or anything like that, but I am the only person Lorraine knows who own one...so I was glad to help, I have called her mom in bible study so I'm sure that is one reason she felt comfortable to ask for help. So we made a card for her daughter, a good friend, for her birthday coming up.   and I didn't get a picture of it....dang.... but I did get to make this one for Lorraine's ann. comeing up...   I found this layout on Paper in the works blog. I really love her work and don't get anywhere near the detailing but I try.... she will also sew, cut by hand and does a lot of coloring and inking, not sure if she makes her own layouts, but they are great!  here are the measurement on mine
brown layer,  5 1/4 x 5 1/4 .....patterned paper,   5 1/8 x 5 1/8
tall 1st layer brown,  2 1/2 x 4 1/4   patterned paper.....2/3/8 x 4 1/8
center layer   brown  3 1/4 x 4 1/2    patterned    3 1/8 x 4 3/8
long strip  brown 1 1/8 x 5 1/4   patterned     1 x 5 1/8
very center brown   2 5/8 square   patterned    2 1/2 square
the rose is from cricut 50 states @ 2 1/8" in blackout base and shift flower
