FCCB Challenge #234 Fright Night

Happy Monday !!

Welcome to my post for FCCB

This week we are celebrating Halloween with our "Fright Night" challenge.

I used Create a Critter 2 and George and Basic Shapes, very quick and simple to do

but 

so effective !!

Thanks for stopping by, please join in our challenge with your own card or project 

As always, please follow the theme and use and name at least one cut from a Cricut cartridge 

Quicky Birthday Card !!

OOOOHHHH !!!

Telling porky pies even for special surprises doesn't sit well so I guess sharing will reduce the guilt factor slightly me thinks !!! 

Here is my "quicky" 70th Birthday card for my Mum, her Birthday is Wednesday but we are celebrating with a surprise arriving for the weekend and Birthday meal with her on Saturday, shush......

I have a "posh" card for her but she can't have it till then lol

I used a freebie Hunkydory kit to make the card .... no expense spared there either 

She does have a huge bouquet of flowers arranged for delivery on Wednesday morning so she doesn't feel too neglected !!

I cut some extra shapes and added them to the inside of the card

FCCB Challenge #218 Summer Treats

Happy Monday !!

Welcome to my FCCB post

This week our challenge is 

Challenge # 218 Summer Treats 

I love summer !!

My card has ice cream cones as my summer treat !!

I used my go to no brainer George and Basic Shapes cartridge for my mats and layers 

Create a Critter 2 for the cones and Lets Party sentiment and Artiste for the cute paper bow. 

The paper is from Fancy Pants paper stack called Beach Babe and the Satin card a recent purchase from Create and Craft cuts beautifully !!

The bow is so easy to put together with a little brad and makes a change from using ribbon and the frustration of tying the bow lol 

Please pop over to FCCB to see all the amazing DT projects, we have 6 new members joining us this month for our new term, Diana Laura Catarina Sharon Julie and Avril looking forward to seeing their creations !!

As always please remember to use and name at least one Cricut cut.

Challenge # 216 Colour Challenge

Use Purple Yellow and Grey on your project

My card is made on a 6x6 white card blank in the shape of a tent !! 

I used George and Basic Shapes for all the layers using foam pads for lots of dimension and I also distressed the edges of the grey layer.

I used a Sizzix rose embossing folder for the top yellow layer and a Kaisercraft brick stamp

The flowers are cut with Artiste cartridge in two shades of Basil Basic dot papers and the leaves are cut with Sue Wilson's fabulous leaf die

Graduation Project

Better late than never I guess !! So sorry for the 2 posts (now removed that scheduled and published without me or the pics....busy busy busy !!)

I used my new Cricut Create a Friend cartridge for my card, they are fun to make and the blackout shape really makes them pop up from the background and makes it nice and sturdy

I used Papermania paper, some twine and glossy foiled card as the background with some card candy for decoration
