To qualify for the prize, be sure to use at least one Cricut cut on your project and if it's not obvious, let us know what cartridge you used.

My Project:

So my MIL asked me the other day to start working on some more birthday cards for her to give out to family throughout the year...I LOVE doing this for her, so of course I got started right away!  I was super excited to be able to use a paper pack I got for Christmas from Santa too - Carta Bella's Giddy Up! pack is so fun!  I have a niece that is totally into riding horses and so I made this card with her in mind for my MIL to give to her for her birthday in May.  That was long-winded :)

Anyway, I used Summer Celebrations for the lasso/rope (3") and just cut off the Yee Ha! that comes with it. I did cut the shift phrase at 2" for the YeeHa! in the bottom corner.  I also used "Just Because" Cards for the boot and cut it out on flip at 2 1/2".  The three rhinestones are from Michael's and were the perfect addition for this cowgirl card.  The inside of the card was pretty simple, just a white cardstock mat with the sentiment stamped in the top corner - the sentiment comes from a Fiskar's set.  I used a piece of the pattern paper from the front to dress up the bottom and cut the saddle from the Toy Story cartridge at 2".

I hope my MIL will use this card for my niece because I think it turned out super cute!!!

And I hope you will join us in the fun sketch challenge going on over at FCCB this week!!!

I'm also entering this card into CardzTV Birthday challenge.

Thanks for checkin' in!!!

Ooooh!

 

Ooooh! My family only has 4 more months until our LONG overdue vacation to the DL (DisneyLand).  We are SOOOO excited!  My 4 year old will almost be 5 by the time we go and this will be his 8th time going.  Can we say SPOILED?  We LOVE DisneyLand and go as often as possible.  So when I saw the challenge over at Exploring Cricut, I was all over it! They have challenged us to create a project with a Disney theme.  Also, BBTB2 issued a challenge of using moons and stars in our projects.  Put the two together and I couldn't help but think of Buzz Lightyear and the cute space alien toys.  Truth be known, the Pixar carts can be a LITTLE tedious, so I did opt out of putting Buzz together and kept it simple with one of the little aliens.  Hallelujah for craft tweezers!  The Toy Story cartridge also has this super fun frame and I cut my card to match the shape.  Put some star paper in the background and we have ourselves a super cute card!
