Out of This World Birthday

Happy Friday and Valentine's day everyone!  I am so happy to announce that our Cardz TV Design Team is back in action after our holiday season break.  And this quarter you'll even see some new faces playing along with us.

For our first challenge we are creating birthday cards!  How fun is that?  Everyone has a birthday - young, old, male, female and everyone in between - so there's a lot of play room in this great challenge.  That means your imagination is your own limit.

I chose to what I thought was a fun theme for my card - out of this world.  And it makes for a great card for a guy of any age really.  

So what's the "recipe" you ask?  Well I used:

Space Party for the planet and the spaceship

Cricut Essentials for my circles

The purple portion of my planet I ran through my cuttlebug using the Spots and Dots folder.  After that I did some heat embossing using Stampendous' Stardust embossing powder to give my planet a little 'bling'.

The sentiment is from the Cardz TV Stamps set Up and Away.

And now that you've seen my take on this week's challenge be sure to check out the other fun filled designs our team has created for you over at Cardz TV.  Then create your own, link up and play along with us.  I can't wait to see how you rock this one.

MIB Layout

It's been a few years since I've made a scrapbook layout.  But after our vacation to Disney and Universal Studios last month I have so many pictures to scrapbook and it's time to get with it.  With that being said this is my first layout.  While it turned out okay I can tell it's been a while.  Guess it's time to do like I used to and start looking for ideas before I create my next pages.

 

Thing about is that after my kids started "growing up" and became "too old" for the cartoon cartridges like an idiot I sold them.  And now I'm kicking myself in the butt for that decision.  I was fortunate enough to find SpongeBob on ebay though.  Now I just need to find a couple of my others and I'm golden.

 

In the meantime, I used Mini Monsters and Space Party for this layout.  I'd never used Space Party before and in fact just purchased the digital version from Cricut.com and I love it.  That alien is just too cute not to have access to.

 

Oh, if you have a layout that you've created lately be sure to go link up and play along with the current challenge over at Pause Dream Enjoy.  The challenge ends on June 23rd so be sure to link up before then.
