My Pink Stamper challenge

This is a card I made for a challenge from My Pink Stamper to use pink, green and black in a project using the Cricut. I love pink and green together, and have a great paper stack from K & Co. full of pinks and greens. I added a touch of black in a design from Storybook cartridge and as shadow for the letters. The green ribbon is from Michael's. I laced the ribbon through the accent cut for a little more design interest.

Here is a waterfall card I made using some scrapbooking embellishments. I used it for a birthday card for my 16 year old niece.

This is a three page layout I created to celebrate the Olympic Torch Run. My husband was lucky enough to carry the torch! It was a moment to capture and remember. The most fun part was the torch run logo on the RELAY page. I cut the shape with my Cricut using the George and Basic Shapes cartridge, enlarged the logo and layered the papers over it. The hardest part was finding the right colours...I ended up making

Well, I got the videos to work, so now I'll try a picture. This was a challenge from Robyn "The Pink Stamper" to create using black and your favourite colour. Oh, what is my favourite colour...not sure but I picked green. This is a little valentine card (3 x 2 1/2 inches) that will go to one of my TOPS friends.

And here's a few other cards for my TOPS friends!

A second video

This album is cut using Cricut and Everyday Paper Dolls....used the "career" button at 51/2 inches to make the dresses, then decorated with scraps from my stash. The paper is from my local dollar store -- it was pretty good quality. Thanks go to Teri from teriberi2.blogspot.com for the inspiration for this project. The album is for my parents who are celebrating the birth of their first great-grandchild. Still have to bind it, but will try to add a picture when its all done.

Well, here's my first attempt at sharing videos. This first video is a mini ablum I made for a baby shower. We didn't know if the baby would be a boy or girl, so tried to make it non-commital. (Although I think my hopes for a girl show a little!) I notice it needed a little more glue on the cover, and I've since worked out a better way to manage the cover. Better next time!
