I wasn't going to enter because I have so much going on right now, but I just couldn't help myself! I had a day to play and decided to go for it, since I'd been rolling some things around in my head for a few days. I chose to make a card but I wish I'd made it a layout about 1/2 way through! I would have liked to make a bigger baby bassinet that I put in the window and the silhouette of mother of child, which is an SVG.  They were very tough to get that small!
Here's my card:

I think I used several more than 4 cuts for this!
The recipe:
Imagine
Expression 2
Gypsy
Orange Stickles
Blue Stickles
Peals
Pop-Up Neighborhood - the house was cut 3.7" colors from Imagine Basic colors and the roof, porch and mailbox (cut at 1 1/2") using Snapshot-Texture, the visitor is the "housewife" in the handbook. I didn't think she needed the apron! The dress was cut using  Audrey Pattern Cart at 3". The fence was cut using the gypsy and the E2 so I could size it and cut at 1.6 x .84 to line up with the front of the house.
MS Seasonal for the grass cut at 1/2" with paper from my stash
Birthday Bash -  balloons, cut at 3" but the strings didn't make the cut, so I used sew'n sew thread for them and attached them to the bouquet on the housewife, colors from Nursery Tails Imagine Cart
Nursery Rhymes - the bassinet cut at 1/2"!! The Imagine couldn't cut it very well at that size due to the rocker on the botton so I just printed it and then hand cut it since all I needed was the top portion.
Simply Charmed for the "Welcome Baby" cut at 1.2" with paper from my stash
Wish me luck! and thanks for stopping by! Have a great week! I'm going to be busy selling backpacks at one of the schools in Azle. I hate to see school start this year! My DGD and I have had so much fun and I have enjoyed keeping a couple of days a week. Sometimes 3! I wish there was more time to spend with my DGS!! I miss him!

A busy card-making weekend!

Hi ladies! Hope you had a great weekend! I had a couple of birthdays and needed 4 cards! The first was for a 1-year old. I forgot to take a picture of the clown card from Wrap it Up! dang it! Came out pretty cute, glittered the hat to bling it up, but it wasn't as cute as this Hip Hippo Hooray card from Birthday Bash and my Imagine in my favorite shade of turquoise! Birthday Bash is 1 of my favorite carts!! The hippo is pink although I'm not sure what color it looks like, that was embossed with Swiss dots and some pink paper from Michaels' package of stock paper. The ribbon is American Ribbon.

 You may want to grab a cup of coffee. Have a couple more cards to show you!

I needed a couple of cards for my SIL, one from my husband and myself and one from my son, who was unable to attend due to having to work. My SIL is a big-time golfer, actually he's a sports fanatic!! But he golfs a lot. This cart and clubs is from Wrap it up, cut twice, once with silver metallic paper for the clubs and once in brown for the bag that was also Cuttlebugged, but I don't know what the name of the embossing folder is! The Ha-p-b-day is from Smiley Cards. I got super lucky with the paper, because I had cut out the bag and phrase at a crop Friday night and hoped I'd have some paper to match at home! and when I got home I found this paper in a Granola 6x6 paper pad that I had received from my Circle pal!! Thanks Circle pal, Beulah!! It's a perfect paper, makes me think of golf balls! LOL!

This "money card/envelope" was printed and cut with the Imagine, the Imagine More Cards cart, page 14. Cut at "fit to page" is a perfect size for gluing the sides of the third layer to the 2nd layer and fitting money in the pocket!! The front is also from the same cart cut at 2 1/2" and a strip of paper cut at 9" and wrapped around the card and velcro'd, but it can just slide off if you don't want or don't have the velcro. I wish I hadn't attached the velcro so low that I couldn't hide the flap but then he wouldn't know it was there! The colors are more vibrant than they are showing up here. I had a gypsy file someone else had designed for this very reason, but this was super easy and you can choose to change all three colors and patterns if you choose! I did change the stripes on the front page from "flowers"! Not exactly what my SIL would have liked!!

Well aren't you glad now I didn't take that 4th picture!! Gotta run and get ready for a crop session tomorrow with a friend! woohoo! Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you soon!
