The heart over layout was cut using cricut 'Artbooking' cartridge. I used Gelatos to colour it.....love the softness the water colouring creates. I've added a few of my favorite bits and pieces.

...........................................................

My Design team creation for 'Stuck on U Sketches'
Die Cut
 WINGS
Fairy, butterfly, bird, plane........etc

I decided to go with a Butterfly.....the front of my card is very simple.


How pretty is this POP UP feature :) I used a glue pen and gold glitter to outline the edges.......love all the sparkle!
'Artfully Sent cricut cartridge was used to create the popup, scallop card base and sentiment on the front



I am sad to say that this is my last post for Stuck on U Sketches.....Leah and Nanne have decided to close the blog. I have really enjoy being part of such a wonderful team....its has been a fun few years.
I look forward to catching up with you somewhere else in blog land:)

Happy Crafting Everyone,

Safari

Hello..........I had fun creating with my cricut today :)
  In San Francisco we saw the city sites on an "Urban Safari" tour. The open air bus was painted in Zebra stripes, the roof had netting with vines, bananas and monkeys hanging from it. We all wore silly looking safari hats.........and here I am holding the bus drivers dreadlocks! When he is not wearing a hat (3rd photo) he wraps them around his head like a turban. 
I had trouble taken a photo of this page with out  glare on the picture.


I used 'Create a Critter' cricut cartridge for the vine, banana's, monkey and zebra. 
Here is a photo of the bus.........you can now see where my inspiration came from! 


Along with this sketch from 'Stuck ?' challenge.

Thank you for stopping by

Happy Day

Hey Everyone....Hope you have enjoyed a great week.

I have a simple layout to share today......it turned out nothing like what I had in mind at the start. Does that every happen to you?
I thought these photo would be perfect to use with this months challenge at 'White with 1'....white + bisco bay. But that didn't happen because the photos looked better against this pretty pink backgound paper. I was also using a sketch..........ha.....looks nothing like it either! 
So here's my layout. 


I used a Kaiser stamp to create the paint drips, a few pretty doilies, buttons, sequins and some cute wooden embellishments.
Another page completed for my trip album .

Happy Creating

The Shabby Tea Room and Stuck on U Sketches

Hello.......so nice of you to stop by today!
Such a pretty inspiration photo for the new challenge at 
The Shabby Tea Room....Sweet Summer is the theme.


My Artistic Adventures is the sponsor for this challenge


I have used 'Pink Shabby Chic tags' on my card.


The Scallop card base was cut using Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge.


I had fun making the rosettes.....they are a nice change from flowers.  Some pretty lace, sequins....just a few of my fav things!


.............................................

The theme is Summer
These photos were taken on Holidays last year! We had so much fun at California Adventure Park......here we are on Mickeys Fun Wheel.


The sun burst overlay was cut using ArtBooking Cricut cartridge. The papers and die cuts are from an older Kaiser collection 'Fine and Sunny. My friend Anna is still crocheting me pretty doilies......so I have added them too.


Another layout completed for my trip album
Happy Creating

Jett

Hey Everyone,
Look at these adorable pics of our puppy! 



I played along with Sketchy Boards June Challenge.....Magical Green.
I've used a variety of Green Kaiser papers, some Scrabble tiles for the title and a little stamping to create the banner, rubons and washi tape.



And....this sketch, which I kinda followed.


Hope your week is going well.........thank you for stopping by

The Shabby Tea Room and Stuck on U Sketches

Happy Monday to you! 
My first project is for 'The Shabby Tea Room'
In My Garden is the theme.
How pretty is this inspiration photo!


I just wanted to cover my card in flowers :)


I used a memory box die to cut the flowers from lots of layers of tissue paper, the center is a tiny pom pom. I made the butterfly from paper clay. The frame and sentiment are from Paper Sweeties - who are  sponsoring  this challenge. I love dying the seam binding to match my card.
Here is a close up to show you all the layers.


I look forward to seeing your creation!

 ....................................

My second card is for 'Stuck on U Sketches' die cuts.
We would like to see "Arrows" on your creation.

A few months ago I bought the cricut 'Artfully Sent' cartridge....it has some really fabulous  designs for making cards.  I thought it was about time I dust it off and put it to use!

Hmmmm.....where's the Arrows you might say?


Check out the inside!
How cool is this heart Pop up feature.......love it! 
I'm not one for all the measuring that's involved with fancy folds, so this cartridge is PERFECT for me. Love the tiny scallop edge on the card base too......a few fussy cut flowers and that's it!


Have a great week everyone
Happy Creating
