Say Cheese Notebook

I bet by now you're all beginning to notice just how much I love the new Create a Critter cartridge.

I just couldn't help myself and I knew that this would make a perfect notebook so I had to make another one.  For this one I made the following cuts:

Notebook and pages 4 3/4"
Mouse 2 1/4"
Cheese block I scaled down to about 3/4"
Say Cheese phrase 1 1/4"

Both the mouse and the cheese are pop dotted for layered effect.

Sticking Your Neck Out

Here's another card that was scrap lifted from the January issue of Scrap and Stamp.  This one was created for this week's Cricut Cardz Challenge which was to use any cartridge we desired so long as we used three circles on our card.

Once again I just had to play with my new Create a Critter cartridge.  After I laid my cuts out in Design Studio, placed my papers on the mat, cut and then started piecing together it hit me that I cut a couple of my colors backward.  But I was too lazy to re-cut them - not to mention that I didn't want to waste the cuts I'd already done.  And that my friends is why I have a rusty/orangey colored giraffe instead of a yellow one. 

All things considered though I think that the colors work well together and some mistakes are just meant to be......

Enormous Thanks

Tonight's card is one that I scraplifted from the January issue of Scrap & Stamp magazine.  Granted I'm not much of a stamper but the stamping magazines have a lot of great ideas and I enjoy perusing them for ideas too.

So once again, I present you with a card made using Create a Critter - my new favorite cartridge.  I tried on several different size and style of wiggle eyes and dh and I both loved this set best.  We thought they were the perfect pair for that puppy dog eye look.

The inside sentiment says, "Thanks, your help was enormous."

Edited:  May 22, 2010 - I am so excited to announce that another one of my cards made the Chirp!

You Drive Me Wild

This was yet another simple card to put together.  A while back I purchased several new Sizzix dies and one night sat down and started cutting them out not knowing what I was going to do with them.  So as I sat in the living room with dh I'd cut, put together and then place the die cuts in a box for later use.

Well last night it finally dawned on me as to what I could do with the wonderful lion cut.  And it was so easy finding the perfect paper in the Animal Crackers matstack from DCWV. 

The leaves were cut from the Create a Critter cartridge.

Baby Side Stair Step Card

Today's card is brought to you by Ayssa who asked me to create "a side step, because they are FABULOUS :) with... New Arrival (and/or A Childs Year), for a new baby card." 

There's not too much detail in this one, but I especially love the baby's menu sign. I've made a couple of other side stair step cards and thought I'd try a baby one, but it wasn't as easy for me as the others....

As requested everything with the exception of the monkey is from New Arrival. The monkey is a sticker from Sandylion Essentials.

Thinking of You or Just Because Paisley

Here's another one of my completed assignments.  The instructions for this one was to "use SYI, using the paisley on page 79, doing a "just because" card. I'm interested in seeing the S-fold."

Coincidentally I had paper with paisley's on it as well so it all just came together.

Howdy Pardner

Here's another creation based on one of my March assignements.  For this one I was asked to create a card using Old West with a cowgirl theme.  Well this one could be used for a cow girl or boy.

This was a very easy card to cut and put together - especially with this great background paper I found.  It's from the All About Boys stack by DCWV.  As soon as I saw the papers in this stack I had visions of several cartridges that would work with it running around in my head.
