Kate's ABC - Happy Birthday Friend

My best friend Carmen, the one that "make me" a Cricut fan, her birthday is coming soon.  On Saturday since we were at the beach, I took a picture without her noticing and remained me the Kate ABC cartridge.  The original picture was this.

 First I converted the picture to black and white and crop some of the outside.  Then I printed the picture.

 I used a card 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 and cut the pink border to used it as a background.  Then I cut the base of the girl in brown, the lake in green and the pink dress and rest of the layers.

 I have an extra effect on the hat, I used the ink distressed brown and glue a pink flower,

The butterfly also has some pink distressed on the border.

 To cut Happy Birthday I used Birthday Bath words in dark pink as shadow and lite pink to be on top

 One's the picture is crop, I distress the borders more to have the effect of time, place a brown border over the pink border to highlight the page.

 The letters of Happy Birthday are over foam adhesive squares to create the live effect.

An on the back, my stamp, Handmade by with my signature to be unique.  I hope you enjoyed this project as much as I enjoyed my day.

Welcome Spring

Hello Spring:
Today I was working in some purse for my daughter to bring to her friend 15th year party celebration that the theme is spring.  I used Grove Times, purses and flowers to express the happiness that spring bring to us.

First I cut the purse 51/2 inches.  Then the flowers using spring bright colors.  Some flowers were 3", 2", 1 1/2".  The center was cut 1/2" and had white glitter.

To decorate the back, the ribbons were decorating all around the purse, also to keep the purse in position.

I love Spring.

To finished the details in the purse/gift card holder, I create in the gypsy her name and used glitter to accent the two paper combination.

The card has the purse as part of the theme, and in the inside I wrote this message:

Having you as a friend

Is a gift from God

That put you in our way

To bring us lots of love.

Looking all grown up

Will bring lots of high heels, dance and fun,

Telling us you’re in your way

 You are a woman like us.

Happy 15^th Birthday!

Halloween Card -2

I forgot the card that I made for one friend using Cricut Lite Celebrate with Flourish.  And the part that I love the most is:  "if you can fly it, used it".....

The Pinguin Fest

My friend Maria is very creative, but we have a deal, she bakes... I cricut....  So, she needs a penguin for her pumpkin at school.  And since I had Animal Kingdom, the penguin was a very easy task.

 Great exchange... she creates my daughter birthday cake with her cricut cake machine.  thanks Maria for your talent....and by the way, the cake was delicious.

Einstein - the scientist

For another class my son has to represent a scientist, Mr. Einstein!! Not think too much, Paper Doll gave me the answer:

Happy Halloween Mr. Einstein!!

Halloween Wimpy Kid - Treak or Read

Ok! another school project, know the challenge is to represent in a pumpkin my son favorites book.  The selection was easy, Diary of the Wimpy Kid, but the pumpkin design was a little bit scary.  Well, first painting the pumpkin white, then figuring out the nose and finally the hear was a very creative task.  Then my cricut have to be part of the event, the tittle and cover design.

For the cover display I used Paper Dolls, and I found the perfect combination of t-shirt, pants and the backpack is from Locker Talk.  The font was Disney-Mickey Font.

I think this was a great idea in my son school to represent a character in a pumpkin, at least we are doing something more that trick or treat, just "Trick or Read".

Love you Carlos,
