Christmas in July/ cardz tv challenge

I almost missed July, today is the 29th!
I thought I had enough paper of the gray for 3 but while I was fitting it and moving to get it just right I was able to get 4 of the brackets on the cricut craft room page. while I was cutting the background I noticed that I had a great quilt pattern from the trimmings so In the 2nd picture you will see I made a background from 3 of the patterned papers...I don't like to waste any paper and if I put it away for latter it would be tossed out so I gatherer the pieces and made a 5th noel card....I'll be ready for Christmas cards at this rate.

mojo monday #435 and cardztv

good morning to all,  this sketch is from mojo and cardztv wanted a birthday card....I do not put a sentiment on the front of most of most of my cards. Mostly because I don't have a steady hand and I don't want to mess up the beautiful card I have spent hours on making.  With that being said I will add a small square or banner to the front with a sentiment on it but it also takes a few try and it has to look good.

thank you card

good morning to all, this is for another challenge over at

Cardz TV Card Challenge # 4

Create a Thank You card. 

 

I  used us some of my scraps for this card and use 2 cartridges that I have not use in some time. Don Juan and graphically speaking.    color is what I needed for this card since it is still sooooo, white outside.

 

my first shaker card

good morning to all, Mary over at cardzTV  has a new challenge, at first I wanted to make the rattle only to be able to shake but I was unable to figure it out with it being round and so small. So early this morning I was thinking how I could do it?  then it came to me...just make the entire card a shaker   for it being my first I think I did pretty good!  Hope you like it to.

Cardz TV 3-D Challenge #4

 I do wish I would have added one more layer of foam tape to keep the beads from sticking in corners...but what is a shaker  without a few stuck?
