In Like a Lion!

I was given the opportunity to make a 3D animal from Cricut Cartridge Noah's ABC Animals. The opportunity was through Fantabulous Cricut: Challenge Me Monday #102 - In Like a Lion. I made the king of the jungle and gave him a crown from Home Decor. As I was writing my last post this King was attacked by another King...my cat Tiger. I caught him just in time and I am glad to say that my creation lives!

Please remember Toblerone was 3D first,

Valentines Cards #2

I had set out to make two of the same valentines, but I jumped in feet first and put pop dots before I should have. I wanted to join the Tip Top Tuesday Challenge #68, which gave a choice of two sketches. I immediately had an idea for the second, and so I went to work. I didn't lay things out first, so I found as I was putting things together that I didn't have enough room for my sentiment. I changed the layout so it worked. In the end I ended up with two similar looks but different. As it turns out now that I'm getting ready to post, my idea wasn't so original. I see that others have posted similar cards. I am still submitting the first card of the two to this challenge.

Enjoy,

Colin

Queen 4 a Day

I made this card for my friend and co-worker. Lets flash back to September when I made a card for our boss. I had joked at the time that I thought of making her a 'Queen 4 a Day' card, but I didn't want it to go to her head. She protested and thought it would have been fitting. My rebuttal was that I thought it better suited for above said co-worker Sandy. Now back in the present, I am following though with my 'Queen 4 a Day' card.

This card was made with Cricut Cartridges:

Happy Birthday Sandy!
