Snow Day Birthday Cards

With all the snow days we have been having, I have found more time to make cards. Here are just a few from the past week.
Truck Stamp from Stampin Up~"Loads of Love"

Sentiment~ Stampin Up
First time using embossing folders with my Big Shot

Thanks for looking!!

All Hands on Deck LO

I got tired of having all my pictures as squares, so I purchased the Creative Memories Cutting System. I've tried on the cricut, but I could never get it just right. Love the cutting templates from CM, so much easier.

The Octopus Title is cut at 3" from the Life's a Beach Cartridge. My favorite part... the googley eyes.

Hail to the Victors

My husband has a mini me. Our 4 year old is all about the University of Michigan. He recieved U of M bedspread and curtains for Christmas. So we needed something on the wall.
Vinyl: Admiral Blue & Sunshine Yellow from http://www.ohmycrafts.com/
Cricut Cartridge: Varsity Letter
Kiss Cut on Med, since I need to replace my blade soon.
I used the gypsy, so I could fit it all on the 12" x 24" mat.

I didn't realize the letter "A" was smaller until I already had it on the wall. Ordering more Admiral Blue Vinyl today.

Hop for A Cure Projects

My first time doing challenges for a blog hop. I know I will not complete all before midnight tonight, but this is what I have so far.
 Each year we participate in The Race for the Cure, so this is a layout for our first race back in 2008. I will do my journaling later, of course.
I used the black sharpie in the mini sharpie holder from http://www.chomascreations.com/
I find it so easy, using the layering on the gypsy to create the title and then just switch out the marker holder for the blade.
The ribbons are from the Stand & Salute Cartridge

 A fun card for a little girl or one that is young at Heart.
Cardstock: Stampin Up~ Kraft
Cartridge: Everyday Paperdolls

I'm Sooo ready for Spring, so Let's celebrate!
