Throwback Thursday-Retired cartridge

It's Throwback Thursday again over on the My Creative Time blog with Emma!!  Her challenge this week is to create a project using any "retired" cartridge.  A list of the retired cartridges can be found HERE.

Out of all the retired cartridges I think I have about 4 of them...I chose to use the Serenade cartridge!!  I used one of the tree cuts to create a "Fall" themed card.  Again, this is a 5x5 card (can't get enough of them)!!  I inked the orange ribbon to give it a more rustic color because it was bright orange.  The sentiment was printed from my computer and I added a little bling in a dingy yellow color.  I am sooo ready for Fall!! Let me know what you think!!

Cricut Cartridge Chaos Challenge #27/Throwback Thursday #223

Hi again!!

Paula from More Than Favors is hosting the CCCC Challenge #27 this week...The challenge is to create a project using the Winter Woodland cartridge...This challenge lets me get a head start on my holiday cards!!!

And Emma at My Creative Time is have another Throwback Thursday challenge.  Her challenge is to create a project using any older cartridge using a Christmas Theme and use material somewhere on the project.  Ribbon is considered material, right?

This is a 5x5 card...I am addicted to making this size card!! Not sure why but I just love how they look!!  I used one of the house cuts and added stickles to accent the snow.  I printed the sentiment from my computer and used a ticket punch to punch it out.  I added the coordinating ribbon along with the bling.  I think it turned out great!!

Here is my card:

Throwback Thursday "Bling"

Hello Everyone!!

Well, it has been awhile since I've posted...But I'm back and hopefully I can get back in the swing of things!! :)

Emma from My Creative Time posted her latest Throwback Thursday Challenge last Thursday.  I needed to make a birthday card for my friends daughter who is turning 3...The challenge is to create a project of your choice and it has to include BLING!!

For this card, I created a 5x5 card. The papers I used are from the My Mind's Eye "Quite Contrary" collection.  I used the giraffe from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge.  And then added twine and stickles for my "BLING".

I hope she love the card...It's almost as cute as she is!!!!!

Throwback Thursday "Green and Yellow"

Hi Again!!

I know its been what seems like forever since I've posted a project, so I thought I'd make a birthday card for my Dad using the challenge for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge.  The challenge is to create a project using the colors "green" and "yellow". And using an older cricut cart!!

For this card I kept it pretty simple.  I used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge for the hearts.  I figured since is was for my Dad I could get away with using hearts!!! :)  

Thanks for stopping by!!!

Throwback Thursday- "Any Lite Cart"

Hello Everyone!!

Sorry I've been gone for almost two weeks!!  Just haven't felt very "creative" lately!!  Emma is having another Throwback Thursday Challenge, so I decided to get back in my scraproom and "CREATE"! lol

The challenge is to create a scrapbook using "ANY" Lite cartridge!  My girls love dancing around the house together.  I got some really cute pics of them being silly!!  For this layout, I used the "Twinkle Toes" Lite Cart...I love this cart...It's sooo cute.

This is what I came up with!

I also linked this for Scrapbook Challenge #4 over at Creations with Christina...

Throwback Thursday Challenge-Walk in My Garden

Hello Everyone!!

Sorry its been a while since I posted...Just busy with life!!  My post for today is my entry for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge...The challenge this week is to use the Cricut cart "Walk In My Garden". There must also be a flower somewhere on the project. (There are flowers in the brown patterned paper)  I don't have this cart but I was in a cut swap and received this cute caterpillar in that!!  I love this little caterpillar!!

The card base is Hibiscus Burst from Papertrey Ink...And the patterned paper is from Bo Bunny-Crazy Love line!! I just love the pink and brown color combo!!  I finally got to use my new My Pink Stamper stamps.  I have to say I like them so far!!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy!!

Throwback Thursday Challenge-Heart theme

I'm back again with another challenge entry...This time it's Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge!!

The challenge is to create a project with a "heart" on it!!

This is actually the first Valentine card I have ever made!!  I designed this card on my Gypsy...The heart from Gypsy Wanderings, as is the "Love You" cut.  I welded two scallop circles together for the card base and cut a circle for the first layer.

For the glittery heart, I used my Xyron machine and glittered it!! First time for that too!  Hubby got me the Xyron for Christmas!!  That thing works perfectly for applying glitter!! Hope you like my card!!

Throwback Thursday Challenge -"Food"

This week Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge is a Food themed project...I used this popsicle from the Doodlecharms cartridge...Love Doodlecharms!!

Sorry for the blurry pic...my camera is having an off day, lol...I just couldn't get it to focus right...It may be the photographer too, lol.  But this is as good as I could get.  Anyway, I used the Threading Water punch on the top and bottom.  And added the green and pink coordinating ribbon...I had fun with this card!!

Throwback Thursday Challenge-Animal theme

Hi Everyone!!

Well it's Friday and Emma posted her Throwback Thursday Challenge yesterday...The challenge this week is to create an animal themed project!

I made a card for this challenge.  The little frog is from the Live Simply cartridge!  Not sure if a frog classifies as and animal or not but I went with it!  The little frog to too cute, don't ya think?  I used a border punch and some ribbon, along with the "Sale Sign" punch and "Best Wishes" stamp...I was pretty pleased with how it turned out!  And the googly eyes give the frog some personality!! 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Throwback Thursday Challenge-Shaped Card

Hello Everyone!!

Sorry, its been awhile since I've posted anything!!  Just kind of been out of it lately!!  My whole family has been sick on and off for the past two weeks!!  We are starting to feel better so I thought I would enter this weeks Throwback Thursday Challenge...

The challenge this week is to create a shaped card and it MUST include the color orange.  I used the Bags, Tags, Boxes, and More cartridge for this flower shaped card!!  I added the stitching, button, and hemp cord and I was done!!  Hope you like it!

Throwback Thursday Challenge - "Old School Style"

Hello Everyone!!  Happy Fall!

I hope everyone is doing great!!  Fall is here, although it is still very hot!!!  I won't be long before Halloween!!  For this post, I entered Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge...The challenge was to create a card without using the Cricut using patterned paper!!  Well I have only been into card making for about 6 months so I have never HAD to make a card without my handy Cricut!!  I was a bit of a challenge just thinking up something.  But I have Halloween sticker pad and I just picked a cute sticker from it!!!  I used some patterned paper that I got from Hobby Lobby, added the "Happy Halloween" sticker on a matte, added a little ribbon and I was done!!

Although it was a bit of a challenge, it was nice not having to look for ideas on all my carts!!  Think it turned out cute!!

Thanks for stopping by!!



Throwback Thursday Challenge-Spider Card

I'm back today with my entry for Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge!  The only rules were to used an older cartridge of your choice!!  I used the Paper Doll Dress Up cartridge for this card.  The little spider is just too cute.  I love this cartridge because you don't have to use the dolls on it!  There are so many other images that can be used alone!  I used the K & Company Spooktacular paper stack, along with the purple polka dot paper from Hobby Lobby.  I added the googly eyes to the spider! Doesn't he just look adorable...Finally, I used my white gel pen to outline his smile lines! 

Have a great day!!
