Sponge + cake ???

This card design popped in my head this afternoon and I really wanted to get it done for a couple of challenges ... little did I know how painstaking that little sponge can be to piece together ... LOL!  So, unfortunately my photo was not taken in natural daylight like I usually do  :(


This card is 4.25" by 5.5".  Spongebob is cut at 2.88 inches from the Spongebob Cricut cartridge.  The cake is cut at 5.2 inches from the Everyday Paper Dolls Cricut cartridge and the little sentiment cloud is cut at 1 inch from Create a Critter Cricut cartridge.  The sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's "The Charmed Life" stamp set.  The background paper is embossed with Cuttlebug's "Tiny Bubbles" embossing folder.

Life's a Beach!

Yay, summer has finally come to Wisconsin!  Decided to make this little easel card for Fantabulous Cricut's Challenge Me Monday.  This challenge involves making a water themed project.  This one was a lot of fun ... picking out all the little details.  I used Everyday Paper Dolls and Life's a Beach cartridges ... also Berries and Cream Imagine cartridge for her little bathing suit and the flip flops (loving this one a lot lately!)  The faces are, of course, Peachy Keen stamps (Simple Sallies & Wide-eyed Kids).  Used My Creative Time's "Just a Little Note to Say ..." stamp set for the sentiment!

- Cricut (Everyday Paper Dolls, Life's a Beach, Berries and Cream)
- girl, sun, bucket & shovel cut at 3.5, flip flops & flower cut at .8 inches

- printed paper (Creative Memories - sand, American Crafts - water)

- The Twinery (twine bows)

- Peachy Keen face stamps (Simple Sallies, Wide Eyed Kids)

- My Creative Time "Just a Little Note to Say ..." stamps (sentiment)

Scrappy Moms Terrific Tuesday Challenge - Life's A Beach

This was really a fun challenge as I absolutely love everything about the beach; it was hard to choose which images to use .... this is such a cute cartridge.  I chose the palm tree and hula girl ... reminds me of Maui.


Anyway, I used random cardstock scraps.  The blue background was embossed with Cuttlebug's D'vine Swirl folder.  I added Liquid Pearls to the lei and flower.  For the sand I used one of the neatest products ever ... it is real sand by MuddPuddles.  You spread it on wet ... kind of a glue-like consistency and it dries awesomely ... does not flake off at all.  The hula girl's face was stamped with the tiniest size of Peachy Keen's "Funshine Face Assortment."  The sentiment is from the "Summer Vacation" set by Pink By Design.  I am definitely going to be ordering the new one from Scrappy Moms though ... like I said I love the beach and anything summery ... it is one cute set!
