i made a couple of cards and a back to school box using 7 cartridges.

 for this i used walk in my garden for the flower pot 2~1/4 inches and daisies 1~1/2 and 1~3/4) accent essentials  was used for the purple flower (accent 10shift )cutting 2 each in a dark purple and a lighter purple 1~3/4, 1~1/2, 1~1/4 and 3/4 inches. the branches are from storybook (letter H shift)1~3/4 inches)

i added some button bees and memory thread for the  sprigs.

the sentiment is from cardztv stamp set "simply said"

here's the inside

i used a leaf and a negative from a marquee cut from a different project, i don't throw anything away!

i made this card for my stepdad

i used george for this. 

the heart and star were cut at 1~1/2 inches

for the banners i used tag2 (letter L shift) two at 2~1/4 and two at 2~1/2

i roughly hand drew and colored  the letters i wanted to keep the sort of rustic look i wasn't aiming for perfection here. i finished off with twine and buttons.

and here's another. thanks for being so patient :) 

                                   
                         
                                           i used baby steps for this sweet baby boy card

the boat ,duck and star were cut at either 1 OR 1~1/4 inch. i adhered them to 1~1/2 inch panels.

baby and  boy were cut at 1 inch. i inked everything up and finished with a couple of buttons and stamped the word sweet.

this card i actually cased from myself from awhile ago. one of my old daycare girls loved it so i decided to remake it for her.  i used indie art for the ice cream cone cut at 4 inches

i used jasmine cartridge for the corners (rectangle shift blackout) i believe i cut them at 3 and also 3~1/4  inches and layered them. the ones around the cone frame were cut at 4 inches.

and heres the back to school box. inside ive added the tiny ruler and a box of crayons .

i cut the box 2 times at 5 inches. then blue cardstock, using the box/shift key, at 5 inches twice. then cut the patterned paper once at 4 3/4 inches. assembled the box then adhered the blue to the front and back.then adhered the patterned paper atop that.elmo was cut at 4 inches. i used thin pop dots under him

the word school was cut at 1 inch. once in black for a shadow effect.

the word box was cut from the word lunchbox  at 1~1/4 inch (abby3 word) i just cut off the word lunch.again i cut in black for a shadow. the numbers were cut at 3/4 inches.

i hope ive inspired you to get out those cartridges and play :)

have fun on the hop!!!

 Hi! It's festive friday over at MCCR  and our challenge is to use make a layout using a disney cartridge. i made 2 one page layouts  so my post is going to be quite long.  i hope you like them both  :)
here's the first one

isnt napping piglet so cute :) one of my former daycare boys called him" pliget" and to this day thats what we call him ;) i cut him at 3 inches from pooh and friends. for the marquee cut i used storybook accent(blackout) on page 72 cut at 8 inches. i noticed later theres a regular marquee cut i dont know if youd cut at the same size or not. im assuming yes. for the pink photo mat i used storybook accent (blackout) on page 57

                         
i cut the clouds from pooh and friends at 2 and 2~1/2 inches. inking and adding sticky foamies underneath. the stars were cut at 2 and 3 inches using baby steps. i added buttons for fun :)the moon was cut at 2 inches ( i think) from create a critter.i added a pom pom on his little hat.

                         
i used create a critter for the sentiment which was cut at 1 inch.

for my 2nd layout i used pooh and friends for all the cuts

sweet pooh bear was cut at 4 inches

 the balloons were cut at 2 inches ( im almost positive)  i added some twine

the presents were cut at 2~1/2 and 2~1/4 inches

the swirls were cut at 2 and 1~1/2 inches 

i used a stamp from creative clear visions
