MPS Challenge (NSD Challenge) and New Years Resolution #18

Challenge #1 "Mother Dear, I Love You So"
This is what I came up with for the challenge. This year my DH wants to send my MIL money because we don't know what she would like. So I made this money card for her. The only part I used the Cricut (Create a Critter) for was the flowers. The paper is by Me & My Big Idea. I also used Dazzling Diamonds by Stampin' Up on the word mother.

Challenge #7 "Hey Dad"
This card was made for my sons 22nd birthday. This one is also a money card. The challenge was to make it masculine. So I did not use ribbon I used all cardstock. The cartridges used were Create a Critter and Beyond Birthdays, the Scallops were cut using MS Border Punch-Cornice.

Challenge #9 "Take Shape"
For this challenge I made a wedding card. The cartridges used were Sweethearts and Wedding. I used my Gypsy to weld the car together. I put Velum in the window. I used Copic markers to color in the people. I used Glossy Accents on the lights and the hanging cans. I also used a embellishment from Miss Elizabeth's for the back of the car.

Challenge #12 "Critterlicious"
This was a easy layout to do and a lot of fun. The cartridges used were Create a Critter and Pooh Font.

Butterfly Card Video

This is a video on how I made the Butterfly Card. It shows how to use the Gypsy to weld and cut a card.

New Year's Resolution Week #17

Here it is week 17 already. I don't have girls but I do have two boys and I took a lot of pictures of them sleeping. When I got the Once Upon a Princess cartridge I had to make a girly layout. I also used the Disney Pooh Font for the lettering. With the card I was just playing around with the Gypsy and came up with this design. The cartridges used for this was George and Basic Shapes and Indie Art. As you can see I cut the butterfly twice and only glued the center of the butterfly to keep the wings flying.

How to make Prima Like flowers

This is my version of how I make homemade Prima like flowers. I first saw a video on how to make them on youtube but changed it up. Hope you enjoy.

New Year's Resolution Week #16

This is my new card and layout for this week. Both card and layout were made using my new cartridge "Create a Critter". I just love this cartridge. I had a lot of fun this weekend making homemade Glimmermist and a version of Prima type flowers. I was watching a few videos on youtube. Now for the card: the cartridges used were Create a Critter and Hello Kitty font. The layout was made using Create a Critter and Pooh font. The flower was made using the technique for making the Prima type flowers.
