Challenge Me Monday #50
For this week's Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday tree-mendous challenge I opted to do a birthday card for my co-worker.
Matt(my co-worker)took an entire week off for his birthday(!) so I used his trip as the theme for the card. He went on a road trip from Metro Detroit to Tennessee into the smokey mountains somewhere. So the scene I wanted to depict, was putting the big city behind him, heading into the country

Edit, More Pics:
Recipe:
5"x6.5" Folded white cardstock card
Behind skyline: Dark Blue cardstock
City skyline: black cardstock, with yellow/orange stickynotes to highlight windows - Cut from Going Places
Trees: green & brown cardstock, inked with marker & stamp pads for dimension - Cut from Everyday Paper Dolls (tree tops popped up with pop dots)
Green hills & grey road(inked for dimension and grit look) cut by hand

Challenge Me Monday: #49
This week's challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut was: To create a shaped card, other a square or rectangle.
For my card, I used Slimey from Mini Monsters. (All the details are done with my pens.) I ended up making two sizes, one I used wiggle eyes, and the other I used the original eyes... which turned out great for this project as they appear more like a black eye. As a non-traditional card, my thoughts for the use of this card would be to use it as a party invitation to watch a Red Wings Playoff game(or regular season too).
On to the photos!
Hope you enjoyed my project, thanks for stopping in!

To My Valentine
Howdy!
Today's post is yet another short and sweet one ~ Here is the Valentine I am planning on giving to my hubby on Monday(at least, as of right now that is :) ). I'm thinking, since we both have to work on Monday - like everyone else, I may just pack it in his lunchbox so he may find it whilst at work. . .
Pictures!
How I Made it:
Red Cardstock, silver sparkled cardstock, rosey wire edged ribbon, & stampendous Changito stamps
Thanks for tuning in!
Until next time,
Jennifer

Yummy Hearts Challenge
Happy Superbowl Sunday!
Today's post features another Valentine's Day themed card I just finished. I've really been digging the Valentine theme this year! (I have a feeling I will be sad once the 14th comes and passes.) Anywho, I hadn't originally conceived this card to go towards a challenge, but have found that it will fit perfectly with The Paper Variety's challenge, which is, Yummy Hearts!
I've been working on the layering concept of patterns/colors/stamping/etc. and while I have seen A LOT of fabulous cards around featuring the technique, I find myself still a bit overwhelmed when I try it on my own - though I am getting there! So as busy as it could be, I did my best to keep the card simple and on track with my Valentine theme.
Here's the Pictures:
How I made it:
Background
Michaels dollar bin stamp in red on white cardstock
Bright red strip at bottom
For the red with hearts banner I used a glitter red paper and Recollections border punch (both from Michaels)
"Sweetheart" sentiment and hearts are Studio G clear stamps on a thin white cardstock strip
Hope you have enjoyed this sweet & simple card, would love to hear your thoughts on it too!
Until next time!

Go Wings!
Howdy,
Today's post is just a simple one. I decided that since I am proud my husband has found a sport he thoroughly enjoys(finally! ;) ), that I would make something for the occasion. Since we are near Hockeytown, I made the Red Wing's playoff's mascot, "Al" the octopus. My version of course is a very friendly looking one though; See:
I used the Mini Monsters cart to make him, and then duplicated the cut to create and modify the jersey. I used a gel pen for the white parts of the jersey, and drew on the Wing's logo. I'm still deciding whether or not I want to add more detail to Al as far as tentacles and shadows... We shall see.
Hope you've enjoyed this post & I'll catch you next time!

Happy Birthday, Grandma!
Hi All!
Thanks for stopping in! Today, I have a birthday card project to share with you. As you can see from the images below, it was created for my Grandma. She will be celebrating her birthday on Wednesday - the same day as Ground Hog's Day(I did a spring time feel for this one in hopes of winter being soon behind us-Regardless of this approaching winter storm!! LoL). Anywho, I think it turned out pretty cute, as my idea was to have the little person holding a somewhat larger-than-life cake as a present to hopefully brighten her day when she opens it. One of my favorite parts of this card is, when you look at it straight on, you can see the eyes peering through behind the candles. Stay tuned after the pictures for info on how I made it.
How it was made:
Background:
Blue cardstock
Grass & bushes cut from Everyday Paper Dolls
I used pop-dots on the grass layer to give it some depth
Person:
Cut at 4.5" from Everyday Paper Dolls
I used corresponding cricut markers to add to bring out some detail
I used a thin black Sharpie marker for the nose, mouth and eyebrows(So wanting Peachy Keen Stamps!)
On the blue jeans, I used my glittery chalks to give depth & highlights, as well as used a gel pen at the ankles
Cake:
Cut at 2.5" from Stretch Your Imagination
I used corresponding cricut markers on the layers
I used pop-dots on some of the cake layers for depth, and for the flames on the candles
I also put some glitter glue on the candle flames to make them stand out even more
Cut "Grandma" from Jubilee at 1"
Inside:
"Happy Birthday" stamped sentiment white ink on black paper, cut out and then pop-dots for a bit of depth
