Cricut cardz challenge - A jungle out there!

Here is my entry for the Cricut cards challenge, A jungle out there!
I decided to do a get well card for someone with chicken pox or measles, which should explain the pink pearls instead of the giraffes spots! A little bit outside the box I know!

I used the following cartridges:


  • Animal kingdom using border selection for the 3 giraffes and the layer, also the phrase
  • Platin schoolbook for the grass

Hope it makes you smile!

CRICUT Scrapbook page - Clock





Here is todays creation, a scrapbook page from a design in the jun/july cricut magazine designed by Beth Marohn, thanks for the inspiration Beth. I used a photo of my other brother and his fiancee from a a photo I took of them at my other brothers wedding in Febraury at Te Puna. I used accent essentials for the corners and middle flowers, platen schoolbook for the font and elegant edges for the circle of the clock. The clock parts I bought about a year ago for $3 in a sale and finally found a purpose for them.


CRICUT Mens cards





And the last creations of the evening - SUCH FUN! Mens cards as Father's day is coming in september and also one of my brothers birthdays.
The first card is using life's a beach for the helm and the yacht border. Second using a skier silhouette from the dude cartridge and brayering the sky blue and sponging some definition into the snow. Thirdly a jug of beer from everyday pop up cards, I couldn't decide if it looked better with or without the gold although beer is a browny gold.... And lastly a hot air balloon from everyday pop up cards.

CRICUT Baby cards



Some baby cards using sugar and spice and the onesies from everyday pop up cards and the lace border on the first card from Cindy loo.
