Mojo Monday Just because card

I found another blog that has sketches for cards. I thought this one was cute so I gave it a try. Here is the Mojo Monday link if you would like to play along too.  I can't believe not one cricut  cut.

A card for my daughter

I made this card with my oldest daughter in mind. She does so much for our family that I thought I should just let her know how much we appreciate her.

I used the following cartridges: George, Freshly picked, and Storybook. I welded the storybook border to the square. I am rather pleased at how it turned out.

I will also be using the for challenge #78 from Card Patterns.

Whale Card

I remember one summer going to the San Juan Islands and being excited to sight an orca whale way off the coast with our binoculars. Just moments later our excitement changed as we drove down the road to find a spot that you could look down and see them right next to us. At first it was just one at a time then two or three at a time. We never would have thought that seeing eight at one time was even possible, but it was. This trip was a fond memory that few ever see. So I made my own whale watching card in memory of the event.

I did this for the following challenges:
Papercutz Challenge # 55 anything goes
FCCB #23  An outdoor activity
Card Positioning Systems # 181-  sketch design

Storybook card

Here are a couple of cards I made to give to my mother-in-law for her birthday. My daughter made some too and I will post them hopefully this week.  I heard she wanted some thank you cards to give people who have been so helpful as she has struggled with some pretty big health problems.

Card Patterns Sketch 77

Here is another Card Patterns Sketch.  As usual I stick pretty close to the pattern.  I personally like the clean simple look that these patterns provide.  I will add my sentiment later, as I find the perfect situation that it fits. 

The pattern paper is from DCWV Glitter Sweet stack, and  the  flower is cut at 1 1/2 from the Storybook Cartridge. 

 

Dino thank you card

Today a little boy I teach at church brought me cookies. I guess he tried to come a couple of other times this last week, but we were not home. Any way I thought what 4 1/2 year old boy doesn't want a dino thank you card. I kept it rather simple since it is for a a boy. No ribbon or other fancy stuff. After all we all know the dino is the only thing he will really notice. I plan to mail it tomorrow. I hope he enjoys getting mail as much as my children do.

Dino is from Create a critter
THANKS is from Mickey Font

Make a Wish Birthday Card- Card Patterns Sketch #76

Wow, I got this made the first day. I did this for Card Patterns Challenge #76 that was just released online today. Scallop border at bottom is from tag option on Sweet treats, as is all the cuts on this card. Scallop circle is from one of the flowers, circles are the flower centers. All were sized on my gypsy to fit.

Hope you enjoy.

Fall Squirrel Card for Paper Cutz Challenge

Here is the Create a critter cartridge again, this time for a cute little squirrel. I did this for challenge # 53 for Paper Cutz. The leaves and acorn are from some sizzix embossing folders I got on clearance a while ago at Custom Crops and have been wanting to use. The leaves are bigger than I would like, but I think I like them better than not. I love my acorn. I will definitely use that more often.

Summer get together card for FCCB

The watermelon is cut at 2 1/4 from Doodle Charms. The hamburger and Let's Eat is cut from Locker Talk. I did this for the Fantabulous blog summer/BBQ project.

I think I will have to use it to invite someone over to our house for a end of the summer BBQ and get together. Please leave a comment. I love any feedback.

Butterfly Card Card Patterns Sketch 75

I have only done three of this site's card patterns , but I am really loving this site. After I finished, I thought of a couple of things I would do differently, but am very happy with this one for a first run.

The paper, ribbon and ink is all close to my heart (chocolate, hollyhock, and blush).   The butterfly cut out is is cut at 1 inch from the Once upon a princess cartridge.
