POKER ANYONE

One of my co-workers birthday is this weekend.  He loves baseball and playing poker.  This is a card I made for him.
The happy face is from the clip art in microsoft word.  The cards are from The Stamp Barn.
I didn't have a clue what I was going to do, but I love the way this turned out.

SKATE

My Walmart finally received the DUDE cartridge.  So with my son's birthday coming up in March I just had to have it.  Here it the card I made for him.  On the skater, I left the top layer off (just plain did not like it).  The card actually isn't finished yet, I thought I'd post it anyway.

Simply Charmed First Birthday

Hi everyone, my granddaughters first birthday is coming next month.  Tonight I thought I make her birthday card.
I used Simply Charmed for this card.  Hope you enjoy.

my pinkstamper challenge

Robyn announced a new challenge.  The challenge was to use your favorite cartridge, pink, brown, green and one optional colour of your choice.
I started out making this porject with my expression, then decided I would make this card on my new imagine instead of the expression.
I used Freshly Picked (although it is not my favorite, its up there in my rankings).
I cut the petunias from page 33.  All cuts were cut at 3.2.
I tried to match stampin up colours (from RGB codes I got online), I have to admit the colours don't match, but I will post what each colour was suppose to be and the RGB code I used.

The card is a standard A2, 8.5 x 5.5 and folded in half at 4.25.  The base of the card is Pixie Pink from stampin up.
The next layer is from stampin ups Welcome Neighbor paper pad.
For the base/shadow layer I used RGB code 111, 84, 75 that was suppose to be earth elements.
The flower pot layer was cut using RGB code 165, 129, 112 and was suppose to be close to cocoa.
The centre of the flowers and the upper edge of the flower were RGB code 251, 213, 222 Pink pirouette -- this one is pretty close.
The base part of the leaves were RGB 201, 210, 148 which is suppose to be Certainly celery.
The outline of the leaves were RGB 157, 157, 81 Old Olive (this one is pretty close).
The Flowers were RGB 236, 110, 170 which is suppose to be Pink Passion.
The Sign is the same as the base layer of the cut out.
I took the centres of the leaves that were cut and ran them along the bottom of the card, and added some dollar store ribbon down the side of the card.
Happy Birthday was from Stampin Ups Warmest Regards set.  It was embossed using stampin up's white embossing powder.

Christmas is almost here

It's almost that time of year again.  I started Christmas Cards a while back but didn't get them all done.  Last night I woke up at about 2:30 and made a few cards.
I love Penny Black stamps, the two hedgehoge images are hers.  I coloured them with my copics.  The paper for them was Stampin Up, Pacific Point.  I didn't think I'd like this colour but I love it.  The sentiments on three of the cards is from Circle of Friendship (again Stampin Up).  On the snowman card I used Tempting Turquoise, and some patterned paper I got for Christmas last year.  The cuts were from one of the Creative Memories Cartridges, Cheerful Seasons.  The paper for the cuts were scraps (love when I get to use up scraps).

The final card is on white cardstock with Pacific Point again.  The snowflake was from Stampin Up Snowflake Spot.  The bar along the bottom is embossed with snowflakes from a Cuttlebug boarder embossing folder.

cutting cricut cartridge images with SCAL

Hi everyone, this is my first how to video.  First off I have to say that I lost my flip video, so I've done this video with my regular camera.  Not so great but I hope everyone can follow along.  Sometimes I need an image that is not on a cartridge I own, well there is a way to cut that image with SCAL, hope you enjoy.

I have removed the instrustions due to the "uproar" this is causing.  Please however see the last comment I posted.  This is not something I do all of the time, I only use it for a cart that I don't want to spend $119.00 for or for cart that is not available to Canadians.  I want 6 of the Lite Carts, but only 4 carts are available at any of the Walmarts here, and they are not the ones I want.  I want the Martha Stewart ones as well, but guess what, we can't buy those in Canada either.  With this method I am able to have what Provocraft won't provide to us Canadians. 

HALLOWEEN FUN

I wasn't planning on making any halloween cards this year, but I saw so many wonderful cards I just had to start.  I used paper from K  & company, pumpkin pie paper from stampin up, unknown black paper for backing, all of the paper dolls were cut from scraps I had on hand.
