cricut 360 challenge # 5 transportation

CHALLENGE # 5 - Transportation.
Hi all,, when I saw the post for the challenge, I knew right away it was going to be a plane...last November I flew from Appleton, WI to Denver CO   all by myself....I never have traveled by myself, on a plane. I have been on a plane before but I have always had my husband along to lead the way. everything was fine on the way there, on the way home was a different story, I could not stop crying when I had to part from my daughter. so she waited with me until I was in a more stable mood, and through the medal detectors I went...and I made it home okay!!! and much to my surprise 2 of my daughters, my son-in-law, 2 of my grandchildren,and my hubby where waiting for me...such a lucky gal I am!!!
I left the banner blank because my girlfriend is expecting and I will wait to see if it is pink or blue!!

Cricut Cardz Challenge # 85

Hi all, Mary over at CCC is asking for....
Challenge #85 Holiday - Anything Goes! Make a card for any holiday you choose, using any cartridge and colors you'd like.
  
I have made lots of  Christmas cards this year and thought I would try Halloween ...
lots of inking.  I also kept the tree with the over hang of the branches, I thought it looked more interesting....
 I used only scraps and did not have enough blue for the inside. so I just cut it in half and added the rest of the fence and more leaves that had fallen off of the tree....
 this is a 5 1/4 square and will fit into a half fold card envelope.

cricut 360 challenge # 4 the great outdoors

Hi all, this is another card I had on my DS, all I had to do is cut it out,I did over size the tree on the right to make it look more interesting, but now it has to go into a 1/2 card size envelope  oh well!!

Challenge # 4 - Create a card or a layout representing "The Great Outdoors".  
Every designer has  interpreted in a different way and we will love to see your take on this one...
 I used a chalk to dull the moon a bit, was a bit too bright for me...
everything is from camp out, every great out doors needs a great out house!! and a little greeter!!

mojo monday #201 and My Craft spot

Hi all, for this card I wanted to keep it simple, I have a friend who will be walking in the
Susan G Komen race for a cure fund this year and is asking for donations, so I thought I would make a card along with sending a check.  I used mojo Monday for the sketch and for my craft spot they wanted embossing.
I added the tiny pearls to the ribbon because they got lost on the white background.
this is the 2nd year the Komen race will be hosted in Wausau, .... a worthy cause.
for the ribbon I used Cindy Loo pg.42 shift layer on  real dial size @ 2 inches
