Aloha! I was given the opportunity to create an engagement card for a dear couple that recently have gotten engaged and are planning the big day to be in Maui.
~Congratulations!~
I was asked to make a card that was not only classy, with nice wording and a bit of embossing. I did a little bit of all of the above but the first thing that came to my mind was one of my very
favorites of anything I am able to do with a card and that is use BRIGHT COLORS :) Wow is this bright, I love it! I hope the couple to receive it will enjoy it as much as I did making it for them.
As usual for the week I used the
Mojo Monday Sketch, and for the very first
time I used my SU Tropical Party Stamps with the matching paper, Island Oasis, SU card stock and inks. (
I know I even amazed myself!)
This card was simply made but with my style lots of layers and pop dots. Thanks for stopping by...
Happy Monday and have a great week everyone!

Just a quick entry for today this is only my rough draft but I thought it was worth showing off because of all it's cuteness. This is the Spring Birdhouses SVG Kit from SVG Cuts. This is one of the very first svg files I cut on my Cricut once I had it set up and was just learning some of the programs available to use with your Cricut.
For me this was a how to assemble these adorable shaped boxes quiz. I can see me heading into dangerous territory LOL!

football. I then colored my little football player and layered him with dimensionals. I then placed the sentiment on like a waving flag.
In the province that I live in, CFL football is our big named sport. So I made this little boy a "RoughRider" in training and added some of the team logo to the front of his jersey. Don't you agree the referee pooch displaying 'touchdown' is so appropriated!
vorite Things Wednesday Stamp Challenge Sketch, I was doing pretty good until I put it all together at the end. I really like this background paper, but maybe that is what's too busy looking for me. The clouds were stamped onto vellum with versamark and then brushed on silver pearl ex so you could see the image. The waves are cut on the cricut with Life is a beach cartridge and pop dotted for dimension.
I love being back in the groove of things. I have been eagerly following my favorite blogs and taken part in many of the blog hops going on this week. The card I made today is for a blog I very much enjoy following, ...just a little something by Joanne B. and this week is her blogaversary! Happy 4th Blogaversary Joanne.
sketch for the design of my card. I like how this card turned out, it's clean and simple.
Two cards accomplished so far, I know its silly but I am such a perfectionist. When I make a card it usually takes me 4 or 5 days to complete, this one only took me 2 evenings to finish. I wanted this card to be for an engagement but looks more princess-girlie to me?

I received a Cricut for Christmas and purchased the Sure Cuts A Lot computer program. I tried it out and I love it! I used it for the base of my card, the circles and the pink scalloped border.
