Take Flight Layout

What do you do when you have a great story to tell, one that you want to preserve in a scrapbook, but don't really have any pictures to go along with it?  I choose to create a scrapbook layout that will focus on the story, and use decorative items to create a beautiful page.  That is what happened with this page.  It is about my journey from Victoria to Houston to Dallas, which was quite a trip.  Let's just say it involves a 8 passenger plane, a storm over Houston, and a lot of waiting around in airports.  I only had two small pictures, and they weren't very good pictures at that.  So, I did a lot of journaling, which you can't see in this picture, but you can see where I hid it below in the next set of images.
I also found this sketch on the Die Cuttin Diva's website, and I don't normally do sketch challenges, because I feel that my final project never turns out the way that I planned.  I get lost in the creative process and end up changing things a lot. 

Anyway, this sketch is for a card, but I instantly thought of this scrapbook page that I wanted to create.  So, I turned it into a scrapbook page.

I started by selecting my pattern paper which both came from the DCWV Playtime Stack, then I cut out all my images using my Cricut.  Next I printed off my journaling and hid it behind the flap and put it all together.  I love how it turned out.  You can't tell in the pictures very well, but the clouds are made of silver and transparent glitter.  I love how it adds a bit of sparkle to the page.

It's time for another challenge over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog.  This week the challenge is "Heat Wave," make a project, using at least one Cricut cut, and something that shows summer heat, such as sunglasses, flip flops, a cool treat, etc...   Don't forget to run over and link up your project for the chance to win a great prize from one of our wonderful sponsors.

This week, I used the Simply Charmed, Groovy Times, and Best of 2012 (or Forever Young) cartridges to make this "Very Cool" card.  I thought it would be cute to put some sunglasses on my little popsicle.  Then I stamped the sentiment on the piece I cut using the Groovy Times cartridge.  I used a navy gelly roll pen to add some faux stitching, then added some black rhinestones on the corners to balance  the card.

Berry Sweet Card

It's challenge time again, over at the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog!!!  This week the challenge is "Cool Treats," you create a yummy, cool, summer treat project.  Hop on over to FCCB to link up your project.  This weeks sponsor, CRI-Kits, was nice enough to let us use their product for our DT project.  I have to say that I had never used a pen or marker in my Cricut before, but now I'm hooked.  I love that I was able to draw my watermelon and title, and cut them out exactly.  The biggest reason that I don't use many stamps is that I hate having to cut the out, this gave me the best of both worlds.  I still got to color it in, but didn't have take all that time cutting all the little bity pieces out.  It's wonderful!!!

For my Berry Sweet card, I drew and cut out the watermelon and title using the Cricut and the CRI-Kit black pen.  Then I colored them in using my BIC markers (like I said, I don't stamp much, so I don't have any Copics).  Then I used my Cuttlebug and the Spots and Dots folder to emboss the background paper, used some chevron washi tape to add a border and some pink cardstock to finish the background.  I added the watermelon to the background then added the title using foam tape.  I really like how it turned out and I learned a new technique that I am sure to use a lot more in the future.

Set the Scene Challenge

It's time for another challenge on the Fantabulous Cricut blog!!!  This week the theme is "Set the Scene," you create a project that shows a scene, and don't forget you have to use at least one Cricut cut. I wanted to create something soft and peaceful, so I made a beach scene using my decorating chalks and my Cricut. 
Picture
I cut out the sand castle, bucket and shovel, and the little sand piles using my Create a Critter and Simply Charmed cartridges.  Then I used a red and yellow glaze pen to add a little bit of shine and depth to the cuts.  I wanted to create a peaceful feeling, so I created a beach with the water, and a setting sun using my decorating chalks.  I really love using chalks.  I tend to forgot about them, then use them a lot on a few projects before they get "lost" in my craft room again.  To create the "printed on" look of the sentiment.  I stamped "Thinking of You" on the card, using Versa Mark ink, before I used the chalk, then I ran a couple of light layers over the stamped image with the brown chalk.  I love this technique as it always produces a clean and crisp image of your stamp.  I finished the card off by putting everything together, using foam tape on the bucket and one of the plies of sand.  I love the way the card turned out. 

Materials Used:
Cricut: Create a Critter and Simply Charmed
Paper: Recollections cardstock
Stamp: Stampabilities - Card Phrases
Ink: Versa Mark
Chalk: Decorating Chalks by Craf-t Products
Pen: Red and Yellow Glaze Pen

Zebra Thank You Card

I needed some thank you cards, so I put some together real quick.  These were pretty easy.  I wanted a big die cut to be the focus of the project, so I cut the flower out using my Cricut - Simply Charmed cartridge. I knew that I wanted to use the zebra paper, which always looks good, so I made a black card with the zebra and some basic white on the front.  I covered the seam using some black ribbon.  I finished it off with a "Thank You" stamp and outlined the outside edge of the card and flower with my white gelly roll pen.  I really love how it turned out. 




Materials Used:
Cricut: Simply Charmed
Paper: Recollections cardstock and The Paper Studio's Safari Untamed
Ribbon: Black simply grosgrain by Ffray
Punch (to make the inside circle of the flower): Creative Memories 1 1/4 in circle
Ink: Stampin Up - Regal Rose
Stamp: Recollections
