Fun in the Sun - Florida

Over in the Cricut Circle the Circle team will be traveling from CHA Chicago to Ohio for a circle swarm. Well they decided pose a challenge to the circlets to create a banner that represents your state. So of course I did Florida ;o)



Here's a close up of the dolphins. They have glaze on them to look like real dolphins.



Here's a close up of the charms. The charms were cut on the cricut using shrinky dinks and then shrunk in the oven. I {heart} shrinky dinks. Then I attached the rings to them.

Papercraft Star Challenge 4

This week over at Papercraft Star we were to create something using sports as the inspiration. Well those of you who know me, neither my DH or I are into sports. So that really got me thinking ... what is "sports related" that I can create. Then it hit me ... Water sports. Both DH and I love to be on the water and when it's not so darn hot taking the jet ski out to our little island for a picnic lunch. So that was the inspiration for this fun little card.

Critters, Critters, More Critters

So for my dad's birthday I sent him a critter card. He wants a book of my critter pictures that I've taken. Well here in Florida Critters are not hard to find. Of course I didn't want the card to be to "girly".





This was a total scraplift my friend Theresa (Treefrog on the Cricut MB). Her's was awesome. Thanks Theresa!!!!

Flamingo Birthday

I applied for Robyn's Design team (from mypinkstamper), if you haven't checked her out yet you can find her at http://www.mypinkstamper.com and we had to submit a project to be considered. Unfortanetly I wasn't chosen as one of her designers .... maybe next time. But here is the project I submitted
