Exploring Cricut ~ Trains, Planes & Automobiles

Welcome to another fun challenge at Exploring Cricut! This time we are thinking

 Trains, Planes and Automobiles!

And to get us moving in the right direction, I created a birthday card for one of the boys using My World.   
 

I created 2 cuts for the train body and scored one image a quarter inch from the top.  I then adhered the two together with scor-tape.  I customized the train by using fun font to print our last name and matted it with left over black CS.  Super cute! 

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  Until next time...  blessings!

A Little Girl's Birthday - A Stair Step Card

A few days ago I asked For your prayers as I worked on a birthday card. A grandmother had asked me to create something special for her granddaughter's ninth birthday. I decided to use my Cricut and specifically the cartridge, A Child's Year. I absolutely love the images on this cartridge. They can be used for so many occasions.

I tried to reflect the changes in a young girl on this card. The first image is of a child celebrating it's first birthday. The second image is of a young girl playing at the beach. I picked this image because one of my friend's most prized photo is of her granddaughter at the beach. And finally, I picked a slightly older image of a girl holding a bird. My friend loves birds and I thought this image would remind her granddaughter how much she is loved! There are several great tutorials on the web. Just search for stair step cards! Thanks as always and I look forward to talking with you again soon!

Blessings

One of my friends is reaching the big 39! Ok, I have to pick on her since she is only a couple weeks older than me. She loves to shop so I thought this image fit her perfectly! My card was a take off on one I recently spotted in Papercrafts. Thanks for the idea!

Decided to try my hand again at markers, specifically shading. This is very similar to an earlier card I posted. Hopefully this one is an improvement. LOL This time I went with more masculine colors. I really liked how the cattail image came out.

The Sounds of Summer...

We have a small pond on our property. I absolutely love to hear the bullfrogs sound off on warm summer nights. When I saw this fun frog paper at my LSS (The Scrapyard, Maysville, KY) I had to get it. I just knew it would make a fun card.
