A Sweet Thank You

Back again.

This card is being entered in the Paper Play Sketches Challenge.

The strawberry was cut at 2 1/2 inches from the Cricut Preserves cartridge; the word "sweet" came from the Summer Celebrations cartridge (1").

Here's the sketch:

 
This is another of their sketch ideas that I really like.

Vacation Challenge at Exploring Cricut and More

Welcome to this week's challenge.  Create a card, layout, or paper project with a vacation theme.  Include at least one sign ( like Stop, Gas, etc.)

Here's my ideas.

I saw this car in the Cricut Mickey Mouse and Friends cartridge and loved it.  I cut it at 3 inches (I think).  The sign was cut from the same cartridge and at the same size.  The suitcase came from the Cricut Summer Celebrations cartridge.  I think I cut it at 1 1/4 inches.
Since they're going to the airport I thought some destinations could be suggested and pulled out my old stamps - Poland, Italy, and Netherlands. (Never been there myself.)

It will be wonderful to see your interpretation of our challenge at Exploring Cricut and More.  Continue to check in each day and see what our design team has to offer.

Happy creating.

Here Comes Summer Challenge at Exploring Cricut and More

Welocme to a fun challenge.  Create a card, layout, or paper project that celebrates summer.  Include the colors red and blue.

My first thought was something related to swimming but then I looked through my newly purchased Cricut Summer Celebrations cartridge.  I live quite near an amusement park that gets jammed filled in the summer so this was perfect.

The riders were cut at 3 1/2 inches and came out around 4 inches when I added the shadow.  The background coaster was cut at 2 1/2 inches and still came out great even though it is so intricate.  Since I wanted it to be background I didn't include the shadow and other little pieces for that cut.  The phrase 'Happy Summer' came from another scene in that cartridge.  Sorry, I don't remember which cartridge I used for the clouds. ( It might have been in the same one.)

Overall, I am very happy with this card.

Please, add your creation to our challenge at Exploring Cricut and More.  We love to see other ideas for the same theme.
And, please stop by each day for samples from our design team.

As always, Happy Creating.
