Root "Deer", A Great Last-minute Gift Idea

After seeing some of the rein"beer" projects on Pinterest, my daughter and I came up with our own Root "Deer" version for Grandpa last Christmas.  We used Create a Critter for the little reindeer and Winter Woodland for the font.

Zebra Shaped Birthday Card

I made this fun, girly little card for a one-year-old's birthday. It actually turned out the way I envisioned it! I used Design Studio and welded two shadows. I put a third shadow on top and then did the layering all at 4.5".

Pirate Octopus Birthday Card

Ahoy, mateys!



I made this card for the challenges at Fantabulous Cricut (make a pirate-themed project) and Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog (sketch and use twine or embroidery floss). I put the October on an Action Wobble so he wiggles and wobbles so sweetly!


Adorable face from Peachy Keen Boy Mates. Sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps (also the Baker's Twine), embossed in black.

Scent with Love Skunk

Here is another shaped card I made for the Challenge at Scrappy Moms Stamps.



I don't have Campin Critters, but surely this cutie goes well with the camping theme. His tail says "Scent with Love"...I just curved the stamp when I put it on my block.



I gave him a little pink pearl nose



and flocked the whole thing...I need more practice, but it was fun and that little stinker sure is fuzzy!

Beaver Tree-Mendous Card

I used the help of a sketch from The Peachy Keen Challenge Blog for the idea to create this card. I used my Peachy Keen faces and a sweet stamp from Scrappy Moms Stamps. He wobbles so adorably, too!

Father's Day Kids' Craft

Here is what we are doing in my Sunday School class tomorrow. Simple and sweet! I will let them decorate the page and glue on the elements with glue dots. The peanuts are from Create A Critter and I embossed them with the cuttlebug.

You're Too Cool!

I am excited about this fun little card I made to submit to this week's challenge at the Peachy Keen Stamps Blog. This week they provided a sketch for inspiration. I let my daughter choose the critter and she picked out the penguin from Create A Critter. The white squares are a sparkly white glitter paper that doesn't show up well in the pictures. I embossed the turquoise squares with snowflakes. The little stamped sentiment is raised a bit to let the card stand on its own. Have a beautiful Palm Sunday tomorrow!

Sweet Blessings LO

This layout was created with the Bitten By The Bug 2 challenge in mind to use a birdhouse or birdcage. My birdhouse is from Cindy Loo along with the sentiment "Blessings". "Sweet" is off Create a Critter and the bird is Serenade. A Child's Year is the beautifully shaped mat. Can't wait for the perfect pic to fill this layout! Blessings to you, today, my friends!

Barn Challenge

This was a fun challenge on Bitten By The Bug 2 this week.  We were to use a barn on a project.  I am loving Create a Critter and that is where all of these images are from.  I used a Scrappy Moms Stamp and Ribbon on the Barn Door and fabric behind the heart cutout.  The barn is embossed with the cuttlebut and I machine-stitched around the red part of the barn.  The roof is inked and the cow's horn are metallic silver.  This is for my grandfather's bday this week.  He lived in WI, which of course, makes me think of cows!  LOL

Mother/Daughter Cricut-y Fun

Lately, I've been letting my daughter (6) pick something to cut out (I cut an extra for me).  She picks her own papers, etc.  It's like having a new challenge each time!  Here are some cards we made together.  Joy even drew a little face on the worm the momma bird is bringing to her baby.
