Happy Birthday

This is a waterfall card that I tought in my "I Heart Cards" class for April. It is so named because, as you pull the tab on the bottom, each of the squares with stamped images flip up and over, like a waterfall. When the tab is pulled out all the way, it reveals the message "Happy Birthday". Patterned paper is SEI (orange is back side), cardstock is Bazzill, stamps are part of a clear happy birthday set by Kelly Panacci for Sandylion, pull tab is an AccuCuts die.

Here is another cute little criss-cross card that I taught in my April "I Heart Cards" class at Pages In Progress. Patterned paper is SEI, cardstock is Bazzill, stamp is part of a clear set by Kelly Panacci for Sandylion.

Makin' a SPLASH

Summer is a comin'! Again, I needed pictures for my layout, so I got Terri, the owner of Pages In Progress, to let me use her precious grandson. This was the layout for my I Heart Cricut 101 class for April, and the ladies loved it! All cuts are from George and Basic Shapes. Patterned paper is SEI and the cardstock is Bazzill (color Lakeshore). For the bubbles, I cut various size circles and traced around them with my American Crafts Ultimate Gel Pen (thanks to Robinn for RAKing that to me!). Then I filled them in with Glossy Accents. Love that stuff!

LOVE you

I made a plea to my wonderful message board friends at the Cricut site for a picture of a kiddo to use in my layout. Several answered the call, and I decided to use Stephanie Castro's beautiful daughter in this layout for my I Heart Cricut 101 class for March. Thanks again, Stephanie! All cuts are from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. Patterned paper is Piggy Tales. The little journaling hearts say "your eyes", "your smile", "your spirit".

10 things I love about you

I thought it would be fun to make a cute little tag book for my I Heart Cricut 201 class for February, and since it's not really "Valentine-y", I taught it again for my March class. Most of the cuts are from George and Basic shapes, with the exception of the scalloped circle (Mini-Monograms) and the letter "u" (Alphalicious). Patterned paper is We R Memory Keepers. I made this for my DH, and he loved it...

100% BOY

Here is another very simple layout that I taught in my I Heart Cricut 101 class at Pages In Progress. This layout is from the February class, and again features my cute little nephew. Patterned paper is Deja Views. All cuts were made with the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. The square is a journaling pocket that holds a star-shaped tag that says "You looked so cute in your birthday suit!"

SWEET

Here is a very simple layout I taught in my I Heart Cricut 101 class back in January. All the cuts were made with the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. The negative cut of the word "SWEET" was backed with clear packing tape (sticky-side up), and sprinkled with Diamond Dust. Paper is Cosmo Cricket. As we have no children, I'm always using other people's kids for my layouts. These are my adorable niece and nephew. Aren't they SWEET???
