Cricut Cardz Challenge #62 Cup of Cheer

Here is the card I made for Cricut Cardz Challenge #62  Cup of Cheer
The challenge was to make a card using any cup image from any cartridge
I haven't used my Imagine in a while so I wanted to do this challenge with it.
I am still struggling with sizing on the I and finding it hard to deal with paper waste.  I am so looking forward to the new Craft Room software Provo Craft is offering us.

I used the Cricut Imagine Imagine More Cartridge.
The teacup is from the bonus section cut at 4.2 "
flower border is cut at 1' I popped up some of the flowers
blue rectangle is cut at 3"
Phrase is cut at 2.8
The ribbon is a Martha Stewart (from my stash)
I added a prima flower to the center of the cup (covered the printed one)
The card base is from Just Because Cards and is cut at 5" and is filled with one of the patterns from Imagine More Cartridge
I had to play around with the sizes a few times.  I just can't judge on the Imagine screen without overlaying the objects.

Valentine's Day Cards

I haven't posted in awhile.  My DD had surgery in early January and we have been hanging out while she recovered.  Actually watched the entire series of Gilmore Girls.  I finally said I needed to scrap some cards for valentine's day and she overtook my scrap room.  Here are her cards she made (for me)

 My DD also made a pair of angel earrings (my other DD is in a sorority and angels are their thing)

 This is the only one I made.  Was trying to make one for my son.  It is actually too young looking but I made it from me and the puppies so maybe it will be appropriate.

I used Create a Critter at 3 in. and the saying at 1.25.  the dog basket is from everyday paperdolls also cut at 3 in. The background paper is from K&Co.
All cards are the A2 size.
Thanks for looking and Happy Valentines Day!

First Word Book

Here is my first attempt at making a word book.  It is for my son's girlfriend.  She is in Alpha Chi Omega sorority.  This was challenging to me because I had to make spaces for pictures with out the actual pictures.  I am making the same book for my daughter but she is giving me the pictures so hopefully it will be easier.  I will post that one when i get it finished. (sorry for the mess around the pictures- i was in a hurry to get the pictures taken so I could give her the book)

Thank you Card with the Imagine

This is a quick thank you card that I whipped out with my Imagine!  I have to say it was easy and had to be the quickest card I have ever made.  The card base is from Just Because Cards and the birds and "thanks" are from the Better Together Imagine Cartridge.  I popped the little birds up.  I will go to this card a lot.

Christmas Cards

Here are a few of the christmas cards i remembered to take pictures of.  Not sure how you all keep up with this blogging thing.  If I remember to take the pictures (Im so last minute I usually am rushing to get them in the mail) I  never get them off the camera to post.  So looking forward to starting back up with challenges and blogging more in 2011!

Birthday Card

Here is a stairstep card i made for my daughter's 21st birthday.  I totally scraplifted this from something I saw online somewhere.  Thanks for the inspiration. Sorry picture quality is not the best - I forgot to take the picture and had to take it with my iphone after i gave it to her.
