Jingle Belles - February 24th

Stuck on You!

This is my second entry to Jingle Belles challenge.  For this week's theme, you're supposed to use stickers and such... but I don't have any. So, I made my own! The white Christmas tree is cut from ProvoCraft vinyl and I adhered it to vellum

Card size - 5.5" x 7.5"
Papers - JoAnn's
Spellbinder - cut out frame and the scalloped circle
Fiskar - circle punch out and corner punches
Sentiment is a stamp
Cricut cartridge:
Christmas - Christmas tree


Inspired by sketch 2 from RAQ's 2-29 Card Sketch Challenge hosted by Suevan911

Good Luck Sleeping Bear

I made this card to slip into Zenica's lunchbox the next day.  She had FCAT Write testing for all 4th graders and she was having trouble sleeping the night before.  I hope she wasn't too tired for the test but I have full confidence she did well on her test.

I picked the bear because their school mascot is a Ranger Bear

Papers - DCWV
Embossing - Cuttlebug
Image of the bear was downloaded from the internet and colored with Copics
Cricut cartridge:

Way to GO Layout

Disney's 15th Anniversary Half Marathon Race 2012

Here is a layout of Jason after he finished the half marathon race.  I had to alter the image in Adobe Photoshop to remove a section in the panel that had all sorts of advertising for Facebook, Twitter, and such and replaced it with his one quote for the race... "Mickey is Next!"  The Mickey Race is a full marathon which he plans to do next January

Layout size - 12" x 12"
Cricut cartridge:
George and Basic Shapes - "Way to GO!"
