For this week's "No Cards" project I decided to share something I made quite some time ago but never paid much attention to nor posted here on my blog. I love this image and thought it would be funny to have it adorn our guest bathroom door, where it has gotten quite a few giggles over the years....

"All About Animals"

Good morning friends! Today I am one of the featured design team members at Getting Cricky, along with my amazingly talented DT sister, Amy from Love To Crop. I'm doing a more detailed post here on my blog, since we are only featuring our photos at Getting Cricky. I made 2 cards for today's post....

 

It's kind of hard to tell but the grass actually flips up from the bottom of the card. Here are some pictures of what I mean....

CRICUT:  Imagine

SIZE:  5 x 7"

CARTRIDGES:  "Wild Card 2" (images), "Bubblegum Stripes" (patterned papers & color palette)

PAPER:  Colorbok white cardstock

INK:  Rubber Stampede

OTHER:  Stickles "Orange Peel", "Eucalyptus" & "Aqua", Glossy Accents

 

CRICUT:  Imagine

SIZE:  5"

CARTRIDGES:  "Campin' Critters", "Art Philosophy", "Best Friends" (patterned paper & color palette)

PAPER:  Colorbok white cardstock

INK:  Martha Stewart "Chocolate"

TWINE:  The Twinery "Peapod"

OTHER:  Googly eyes

The sentiments on both cards are from this K Andrew Designs stamp set....

Golf Card For My Hubz....

Hello again! Well . . . .  the hubster is gone to Scottsdale, AZ on a golf trip with his buddies for 4 days & it's the first time we've been apart overnight in years! This is also the first time I've been alone overnight since moving to our ranch last year & I'm really appreciating all the stuff he does for me -  now that he's not here. Perfect example was this morning when I went outside & pushed open the screen door it kinda stuck a little & I thought well that's kinda weird but oh well. Then as I went to step out I noticed there was a giant dead toad right in the bottom door jam! I don't think I killed him with the door cuz he was already pale & bloated. It does, however, explain why the door was sticking. Now this is when I would normally scream & yell for Vinny to help, but I had to man up & do it myself. I got the longest shovel I could find & flicked him into the nearest bush. I gotta say that, as traumatizing as it was, I'm kinda proud of myself, lol. We have 3 ponds on our property & literally thousands of frogs, so I'm kinda surprised this was the first time I had to deal with a frog post-mortem. Needless to say, I really miss him (Vinny - not the frog)!

Yes, I did actually make a card to go along with my ramblings today! I snuck it into his luggage right before he left so he would get it when he was unpacking in the hotel later. He did & said he loved it!

I made this card in a super hurry so it doesn't have all the detail I normally put in my cards. The card base is Kraft cardstock, cut at 5" with my Cricut Expression & Gypsy, from the "Campin' Critters" cartridge (pg. 65). I cut the oval background layer using some cloud paper from a Debbie Mumm paper pack. The rest of the card was done with my Imagine, using the same cartridge & same page. For the colors I used the color pallette from the "Snapshot: Nature" cartridge. The desert images were cut at 3.2" (relative size). I inked most of the edges with some Martha Stewart ink in "Chocolate". The flag & ball are stickers from Sandylion.

Last but certainly not least, the sentiment is from the Scrappy Moms Stamps set called "Raining Cats & Dogs". Obviously this set can be used for more than just dogs & cats! All of her stamp sets are very versatile. To purchase or check out this stamp set, or any of her other fabulous stamp sets & products, click HERE! 

I decided at the last minute to make this my 2nd entry in the Paper Playtime "For The Guys" challenge. To see the challenge details & play along click HERE.

Thanks for stopping by today & listening to my ramblings! :)
