Mr. Gecko

3.50 inch tall

in memory of mr. squishy who is now RIP.

 the most beautiful lizard ever

--wink-wink--

he was dry embossed with the mosaics cuttlebug folder.  you can find him in the boys will be boys cricut cartridge--image#24. i cut him at 3 inches tall. the card base is also from the same cart--same image using shift and the shadow feature.

a closer view and remember that you can click on the pic for a bigger view.

you can see i had to inked him and add the googly eyes...he looks so handsome, ;p

the sentiment is from my pink stamper clear stamp set called

MORE PUNNYLICIOUS

 

you can click on my pink stamper here to go to robyn's site, if you wish

 i made the envelope using one of the seed packets from freshly picked

--another cricut cart-- 

in my collection :) 

--this note is for my dear friend sheena too--

i made that envelope using construction paper.

i forgot to take a pic of the inside, but what i did was more faux stitch,  just the same you see on the outside.

FOR YOUR BABY

it has been so cold in the neighborhood. i do not like to go out when is this cold but had to go to a meeting on saturday morning for a musical my son is in where he got the lead. i then went food shopping since they are expecting another snow storm this week, better have some food in the house, ;p
i decided to stop at joann's and saw they now have the pink atg. i had a 50 % off coupon and bought a refill for it. if anybody knows where i can buy them by the case at a good price, please, would you shoot me an email or let me know in a comment. thanks!

this card is totally out of my color comfort zone but since i try my best to be versatile i played with pastels colors since is for a baby.

For Your Baby

5 inch square card

 the plane is the shadow of image#1 on the b is for boys cricut cartridge, the star is from a child's year image #46-- icon feature and i added a rub-on.

see the martha stewart ribbon???not too pleased with it but it was the one i had that matched better. i also inked around my images but not on the white border across.  i left that out of the inking process, ;p. that border is from straight from the nest, image# 32 using the layer/shadow feature.

the "for your baby" stamp is from one of my dear robyn's latest clear stamp sets called 

Happiest Moments

i have been using this set a lot lately and i will be using it for the graduation parties too.

 i finished my card with another cut of the plane on the inside.

any questions, please...just ask. i read all my comments...they feed my soul ;p

hugs and love to all--!!

"PLAYING WITH SERENADE" by flowerdisco & friends

Welcome to

ROUND #5

of 

"Playing with Serenade" 

Today I have image #30 and it is a beautiful branch. I did not want to take any other image from this cartridge to accompany my branch so I went and got my acorn from "B is for Boys" Cricut lite cartridge.

Nuts about You

4.25" x 5.5" card

The card looks crooked in this photo but I give you my word is not crooked in real life, lol. too funny.

The branch had another small branch I cut off because it just didn't serve my purpose, wink-wink

(The truth is I was going to make a layout but I wasn't feeling too good the other day, so I went for a smaller size project, and after cutting my branch to the magnificent size of 5 inches, I had to cut that part and more off to fit in my card, hehehe. I had cut three huge acorns too at a size of 3 inches each, but I just had room for one, lol.)

I am practicing with my bows and they are coming out a bit better, as you can see.

My papers are from DCWV, the "Nuts about You" sentiment  is from MPS clear stamp sets and you can find out  HERE where to purchase. I also used my dear textured American Crafts cardstock and a Martha Stewart punch for a small detail behind the papers, added some glitter using my glitter pens and Voila! :)

 I also added some outlines with a black pen.

 My huge acorn at 3 inches high, lol

and you can see I used my distresser too.

I decide to use another acorn for the inside of my card. The top has been embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder called Tiny Mosaics. Isn't cute?

 Enjoy!

Now, let's see what my friends made with their assigned images.
