Cricut 360 Challenge #11

Happy Friday! Are you guys ready for a great challenge brought to you by Cricut 360? This week is all out our Heroes. Make a card or layout to honor the hero in your life. I have 2 heroes in my life so I made two cards.

The first card is in honor of my husband who has been in the Navy for over 20 years.


I used Stand and Salute and cut out the Anchor at 3".

The second card is in honor of my son who has just recently certified as a firefighter.


I used Independence Day for the fire truck and cut it out at 2"

I am so proud of both of the men in my life and for the service they provide to not only our country, but to our community as well. Thank you!

Happy Thursday! Today's card was made for the Cricut Cardz Challenge. The challenge for this week is to make a card for Breast Cancer Awareness.





For my card, I used Stand and Salute to cut the ribbon at 3". I then ran the ribbon through my cuttlebug with the Love Language embossing folder to get the little embossed hearts. The word HOPE was cut out using Home Decor at 2". Please make sure to schedule your mammogram and do monthly self exams at home. I have hope that one day there will be a cure. :)

Happy 4th of July!

Hi! Today's card was made for the June Sketch Challenge over at Paper Therapy. We were challenged to make a card based off of pagemaps sketch but to turn the card into something Patriotic. This is what I came up with:



I cut out the firecrackers from the Stand and Salute Cricut Cartridge at 2 1/2 inches. I cut one each out of the blue and the red and then just paper pieced the red onto the blue. The border along the bottom also came from Stand and Salute. I used my gypsy to weld two of the banner borders together and cut it out to fit to length 3.4".

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop in and take a look! I appreciate it!


Supplies Used:
Cricut--Stand and Salute
Stampin' Up!--Whisper White Cardstock
DCWV--Blue and Red Cardstock
Stickles--Tiara
Misc.--White Signo Gel Pen & Zig Real Red Marker

Red, White & Blue

Hi! I made this card to play along with the sketch over at Mojo Monday (week 140). June is going to be a busy month for me, so I used this sketch to get a jump on a Fourth of July card. I cut out the USA twice and popped it up with dimensionals to give it some dimension. I really had a lot of fun with this sketch. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and take a look. I appreciate it! :)

Stampin' Up!--Basic Black Ink, Dimensionals & Ticket Punch
Stickles--Stardust
Cricut Cartridge--Stand and Salute (USA cut at 1") and Storybook (Tag cut out at 2")
Patterned Paper--Scenic Route Liberty
Rub-Ons--Autumn Leaves
Stamp--Art Warehouse Summer Pride

Happy Saturday! The sun is out shining bright today! What a surprise. I really thought it was supposed to be kinda dreary all weekend. I am not complaining though!
This is a card I made for the Bi-Weekly challenge over at Paper Therapy. The challenge was to make a card that had a tree on it. This is what I came up with. Being a military family, we are very accustomed to the tie a yellow ribbon around the old oak tree motto. I had a lot of fun making this card and if you haven't checked out Paper Therapy yet, you should go over and take a look. They are a brand new card making forum with tons of ideas, challenges, virtual crops, prize give-a-ways, and a great group of friendly people! Thanks for taking the time to stop in and take a look! I appreciate it!
