Tie one on!

I made this card for my Hubby for Father's day. He's a Chartered Accountant and partner in his firm...this basically means he wears alot of ties. I thought this cut was just too cute to pass up. I had to make my own sentiment on the computer because I just had to use this pun...tee hee!! I love all the bright colours.

Recipe:

1. Bazzill-teal, rust, lime and lipstick pink
2. Imaginisce-Animal Crackers kaboom line
3. Bo Bunny lime dot ribbon
4. EK Success-edge and corner punches
5. Stampin up slot and label punch
6. CTMH sentiment stamp on the front, black ink, tie stamp, Pacifica ink
7. Cricut carts- George(word bubble), Simply Charmed(tie and shirt)

I used a base card of 4 x 5"...cut the word bubble and shadow at 1.45"...cut the shirt and tie at 4.38". Of course I pop dotted all the cuts...gotta love pop dots!

Mother's Day card 2011

I always feel that if I use the cartridge even once...it's totally worth it...at least that's what I tell myself. It's a beautiful sunny day here...thank God. We had some snow the other day...I know...it's supposed to be spring...but in Thunder Bay, you never can tell when that last snow will fall.

The card base is 4x6". The butterfly is cut at 1-1/4" and the watering can is cut at 4". Layered the images with pop dots...I can't scrap without them.

Easter card 4 Donna

I made this card for my pal Donna. She was haunting me on one of our Scrap n Yap days about the fact that she was making all these Easter cards for friends and family and I wasn't planning on mailing out any. I felt this was a tradition that I didn't want to start...I do make cards for my kids and the kids that I give Easter presents too, but I didn't want to send out Easter cards like I do at Christmas. She nagged and nagged...and I didn't give in...OK so I made HER a card...she's pregnant...you're not supposed to upset a pregnant person...So Donna...here's your @#$%$#@ card...
