Main Dishes

This divider page for my friend's recipe album was based on sketch #58 by Card Positioning Systems.

The plate and silverware are from the From My Kitchen cartridge.  I used my Cricut markers to trace the silverware before cutting it out, leaving a nice outline around the pieces.  The words are from A Child's Year.

This page will be entered in the following challenges:

Fantabulous Cricut--#195, 3 different patterns of paper

Scrappy Moms Stamps--use yellow and red

My Time To Craft--use 2 images--1) the plate 2) the silverware

Appetizers page

I had a little trouble thinking of an image to put on the appetizers page for my friend's recipe album.  I decided to use sketch #6 from Card Positioning Systems, using some of my scraps from the previous pages instead.  The font is from A Child's Year and the flourish under it is from Gypsy Wanderings.

This page will be entered in the following challenges:
Desert Island Crafts Challenge #68  die cuts (the letters and flourish), 2 or more papers, make a gift
Cute Card Thursday--#301 anything goes

Have a TEArrific birthday!

I used the card feature on A Child's Year to make this card for my mom.  The card feature always seems like a good idea, but then I'm never happy with the results.  I think it is the lack of layering.  I ran the background through the D'Vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder to add a little something to it.  I was in a bit of a hurry, so I wrote the sentiment by hand this time.

This card will be entered in the following challenges:

More than Favors--birthday theme

Celebrate the Occasion--Tea for two

Totally Papercrafts--monochromatic

Christmas 2012

Here we are, one week before Christmas.  Time to get started on my cards, I suppose!  I let the challenges guide me this week.  The ornament is from A Child's Year and the word Joy is from Create a Critter.  I was trying to use as many scraps as possible, so each card looks a little different.  Here is one example:
