Luigi Any Occasion Card

Every so often I have this habit of searching through the IMDB website in hopes of finding a good movie quote to use in a project. The other night I came across a quote from the movie Cars that goes like this.....

"I must scream it to the world, my excitement from the top of someplace very high."

That quote was from Luigi and from that quote this card was born. Very simple card - with the exception of making sure the font curved and printed just right around the circular piece.

Happy Birthday Cupcake

I have been trying to decide how I wanted to use the cupcake cut from the Home Decor cart and finally decided that the best first cut would be for a birthday card.

The colors in the picture do not do the card justice - especially for the cupcake which is sprinkled with a mixture of purple and sandstone glitter.

Foxy "Hi" card

So I saw this card in a recent issues of Just Cards that had this wonderful idea for creating a flower and I was immediately drawn to it. So last night I kept racking my brain trying to figure out what "character" I could use that I thought looked good with my flower. I tried a flamingo, a couple of the tinkerbell characters and another one that I can't remember but I didn't like any of them. I was so close to giving in to my frustration and scrapping the whole idea when I saw the fox on Zooballoo and decided to give it a try. And I am so glad that I did.

For this card I used:

Zooballoo for the fox

Paper Doll Dress Up for the hat

Mickey and Friends for the flower

Slam Dunk Elmo - Birthday Card

So I'm on an Elmo roll. I think that I like the way this one turned out more than the baseball card. Although my daughter likes the baseball one better. What do you think?

The inside sentiment for this one says, "Happy Birthday - hope it's a slam dunk"

Baseball Elmo Birthday Card

This card was created for a friend of mine whose grandson is turning one next week. Well the mom is a Red Sox fan and I was trying to figure out a way to incorporate that into the card, but only got so far as a baseball theme.

For this card I cut the background to measure my card blank at 5 x 6.5 inches

Elmo was cut at 4"

The baseball glove at 1.25"

and the baseball at 1"

The inside sentiment was a poem written by my friend, but for future cards will say something like "Happy Birthday Slugger"

Song of Your Heart - Friendship Card

Last night I sat down at my desk and just stared at the pics on a couple of my cartridges and after a while I had a couple of ideas pop into my head. This card is one of them.

I kept looking at the birds on the Home Decor cartridge as this is one of a couple that I purchased a while back and have yet to use. So the more I kept looking and trying to figure out what to do my gaze kept wandering back to this particular bird. And then I remembered a quote that I had saved so I opened my quote file, found it and viola the rest is now card history.

My Hero - My Dad Layout

This is a very simple layout I created in honor of my dad. There is no Cricut for this just paper, pictures, and stickers but still I wanted to share.

I have been in the midst of swapping rooms in the house again now that our oldest son is going off to college. Hopefully I'll have the move complete this week and I can begin scrapping again. It's been so long and I know I must this week since I have a card order to get filled. So keep your eyes out because I should be back soon.....
