Cooking with Cricut Challenge - The Real Meaning of Christmas

I am so happy with how this card turned out! I used Lacy Labels and cut the "All Boy" Frame at 2.25" The blue paper is Core'dinations and embossed with the Cuttlebug snowflake pattern and sanded lightly. The Holy Family Stamp is SU and the ribbon is actually ripped off an Ann Taylor Loft shopping bag. That's called upcycling, right? Not just being cheap? lol.

Cooking With Cricut Challenge #2- Pumpkins!

This week's challenge at Cooking with Cricut is to feature pumpkins! Which was totally perfect for me because I will be taking my one year old to a pumpkin patch to pick out a pumpkin this weekend! Of course, that meant I needed to do a layout instead of a card- that was a bit out of my comfort zone, but I am truly happy with how this turned out!

Papers used:
Blue/brown background- Paper Pizazz
Orange patterned- K&Company Halloween Specialty Paper
Orange- DCVW cardstock
Green & brown cardstock- no idea ;)

I used:
Lacy Labels for journaling card- 3"
Gypsy Font for title- welded on the gypsy- 1.5"
Melin's beautiful "Pick of the Patch" cut file
Ribbon pulled off of a package from someone else
And all the edges are inked with VersaMagic ink in Gingerbread

I'll give you all another peak at it when I get the pics of my beautiful baby in it!

Get Well #1

They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and today necessity ruled. I need to send a get well card and had absolutely no idea what to make, so I searched some challenge blogs for inspiration. This card will work perfectly for my needed card and will be entered in Jitterbuggin', Practical Scrappers, and Paper Playtime. The Jitterbuggin' challenge a sketch with color requirements and an apple (go to their blog for more details), Practical Scrapper's challenge is to use ribbon, and Paper Playtime's challenge is to make an autumn themed card. What is more autumn than argyle and apples?
