Polar Bear Card

I love the polar bear from the Joys of the Season cricut cartridge. I used it here with the snowflake cuttlebug embossing folder.

Cards

I've been lazy and not posting my cards. So, first I'll post my cards I've made using the cricut cartridge, Wild Card. It has cool card shapes each with a matching envelope. Luckily, I have a cricut expression since if you have the baby cricut the envelopes will be too big to cut. Anyway, the Thanksgiving one is very similar to the one the teacher at a cricut class did.





(look closely- the envelope has candles as a flap)




Halloween card from awhile ago:

Cards

This first one is made with a Club Scrap kit. I made it while home visiting so I only had my basic supplies. It's a thank you card for my grandmother.



This next one is a clear card made with CS paper and cuttlebug embossing folders.

A try at clear cards

I decided to buy craft plastic and try making a clear card. It was actually rather fun after I got the darn thing folded in half. The owl and saying is from a hero arts owl Halloween set. I also used ribbon and a strip from a Halloween sheet I bought.

Halloween Card

This is a very simple card using a stamp and a cuttlebug embossing folder.

Christmas Card

This didn't scan too well... probably because the gold paper is metallic. Anyway, the gold paper is from Club Scrap's Reflections kit. The POP (pound of paper) from that kit is perfect for embossing with cuttlebug folders. I got the snowman stamp at Archivers.

Cool Cat

I used Club Scrap paper for this along with my cricut for the title (cartridge Alphalicious- one of my favorites). This my cat Harley when he was a baby. He was posing wearing my dog's harley hat.

Birthday Card

This is a birthday card I made for my aunt. You can't really see it in the scan, but the flowers are covered in glitter. The flower stamps are from stampin up along with the scallop punch. The paper is Club Scrap, and I embossed it with a cuttlebug embossing folder with my sizzix.

Challenge Layout




This is a 2-page layout I did for the Club Scrap challenge. The challenge was to use the formula CS gives you to create a page. I altered it slightly, but it's mainly still their design. Click the image for the larger version.

A little fresh air

I used the Club Scrap kit Great Outdoors along with a small piece from one of their retreat kits.

Card

Nature Layouts

This first one is my past rat Buddy enjoying some fresh air. It uses the Earth & Herbs and Be Still Club Scrap scrap kits, and it uses the george cricut cartridge.



This second one uses the following cricut cartridges: alphalicious for the scalloped circle, george for the circle, and joys of the season for the plant with bird. It uses the Club Scrap kit Earth & Herbs. The flower circles are stampin up. In real life the hummingbirds are very vivid, but I resized the file so small that it's hard to tell.

Christmas Cards

Last year I waited until December to make cards. Well, I only got a few made. I've seen other people starting Christmas cards so I decided I would too. After all, I still had that Club Scrap "Groovy Christmas" card making kit.

This one features a cup from the cricut cartridge "christmas cheer" and a coffee circle stamp from the CS mocha java kit.


The next one has a polar bear from the cricut cartridge "joys of the season". Yes, the main reason I wanted the cartridge was for this bear and a penguin (not shown)


And the last one features mostly stuff from the groovy christmas kit but also two Stampin Up stamps.

Body&Soul cards

Here are two cards I made with the Body&Soul Club Scrap kit using the "greetings to go".



Owl Cards

Here is a pretty owl card along with the masculine version.



Layouts

This first one uses both the Bugs and Be Still Club Scrap kits.



This second one uses three cricut cartridges- paper dolls for the gingerbread man, accent essentials for the scalloped border, and doodlecharms for the cat. The paper is from Club Scrap's Groovy Christmas special edition kit. The top picture is Harley being good, and the bottom ones are him forgetting about the photo shoot and attacking his tail.

Memorial LO

This is a memorial to Jonathan's rat, Jerry. He had to be put to sleep last year after multiple surgeries and vet visits couldn't save him.

The journaling on this is the rainbow bridge poem. If you're wondering why I keep posting layouts with circles, it's because that's the theme of the paper I used.

Holly

the background paper is Club Scrap, but the circle in the middle is from a paper pack I got at archivers. I used my cricut for the bottom boarder and that design at the left corner.

(RIP Holly girl)

Club Scrap stuff

Here's another humane society one. I created the background paper by using ink and a stencil to create the background.



And this is just another canoe layout. The fire circle and arrows are from the cricut cartridge "going places".

More digi layouts

Here are more digital layouts for the humane society. Photoshop actually started working at an okay pace. I hope the humane society likes these. I have so many files and papers to go through of the adopted animals "happy endings".

Another digi layout

Here's another digital one. Again I used the scanned image of a cricut die cut. It's from Club Scrap's Be Still digi kit. This is another one for the humane society album.

More for the humane society

Here's another one for the humane society's "happy endings" album. This one is a digital layout that I'll print later.

Humane Society album

These two were made with Club Scrap's poetic and be still kits. The second one has a dog die cut from the cricut and embossing with the sizzix using a cuttlebug folder.

The fiber on this one is really gorgeous but the scan makes it look like brown paper.

Camp layout

This was another one made for the Club Scrap challenge. So, the background paper and title are from the Academy kit, the 8.5x11 sheet is from Haberdashery, and the paper clip is an embellishment that came with the Be Still kit last year.

Halloween Ratty

I used the cricut a lot for this... doodlecharms for the top of the pumpkin, george for the pumpkin and circle, and alphalicious for the title. I also used different Club Scrap papers.

A couple layouts and festive rats

This first layout is another camping layout. I mixed a few Club Scrap kits together, and this is the result. I'm not sure, but it sorta looks like I put it at a slight angle when I scanned it.



And then this layout is for Pumpkin and Winky. Pumpkin is from a rat rescue in MI, and Winky is from a humane society in southern IN. I have festive ratties.

New Layout

This is yet another camping layout. I mixed different Club Scrap kits so there is part of Chapter One, Friendship, Academy, and Great Outdoors.

Digital Layout

Well, I took the plunge and downloaded a Club Scrap digital kit. I opened photoshop and started working. Those kits have so many image files that it overwhelmed me somewhat!

These are not my cats. They're cats that were adopted from the humane society. This is part of the album I'm working on for them.

Thank you card

I never knew how handy those club scrap "greetings to go" kits are. I used those materials from the June kit to make this card.

The colors scanned wrong. They look richer in real life.
