A card sparked from a design

I made this card for a couple in our church who are going through a difficult time. I used an idea from a woman on the scrapbooks etc forums hosted by better homes and gardens magazine.  Her sign on name is keithann and she is hosting in the forum a card making one oh one tutorial for beginners. I don't consider myself a beginner but since the board as a whole lacks activity I figured I would join in, in hopes more people will too.  So here is my rendition, thanks ka!
and tfl!

Flag Challenge

On the club ck website they had a virtual camp last week and did all sorts of fun challenges and activities. I wasn't able to really participate then but decided to try a layout anyway. Better late than never right? I had these pics printed out for awhile but didn't know exactly what I wanted to do with them. When I saw the challenge I knew these were perfect! I cut the banner using the george cart by cricut. The font is from the lyrical letters cart. The paper and ribbon is dcwv. I thought I would mimic the washboard using silver metallic paper and for texting I embossed the red pieces of the banner using the swiss dots embossing folder by cuttlebug.  I'm happy with the way it turned out! Tfl!!

Hi there!

Here is a fun monkey card I made using the b is for boy cricut lite cartridge. It can be used for other things besides boy pages...yay for that!! The cardstock is from hobby lobby and the patterned paper is the new summer dream stack by dcwv. I textured the hat with the argyle embossing folder by cuttlebug. The sentiment was cut using the beyond birthdays cart. Ribbon is from Michael's. Tfl!!

Spiderman birthday layouts!

My youngest sons second bday. We didn't have a big party but got him a cake with his favorite character at the time. Everything was all about Spiderman! He loved his cake but didn't eat it lol...he didn't like his hands getting dirty so he had a birthday popsicle instead..I plan on scrapping those pictures too at a later time :). Tfl!!!

Closer look

Here is the first page. I cut the title using my cricut and my gypsy. The letters were cut at 1.22. I used patterned paper from an 8x8 album kit I got at Walmart on clearance for 10!! I tore the paper and stitched with thread to look like webbing. I used Sandylion stickers and backed with cardstock to give more weight and used pop dots to give dimension.

I used the same sandylion stickers and my cricut for the title. I repeated the same paper and repeated the stitching.

Here is the 2nd page.

My dad

A layout of my dad..pp is from a paper kit from hobby lobby..the cs is bazzil. The wisdom sticker is adornit. The branch is cricut cut. The journaling is: my dad has taught me so much. When I was small he taught me how to draw. When I got older he taught me how to change a flat tire. He has taught me strength,pride,hard work and determination will take you far. He taught me "I can't" is not an option and to never say never. Most of all he has shown me how lucky I am to have such a wonderful father.

Speedos never looked this good!

I love this picture of my first two nephews. They are now grown in high school. I can't believe it! We live in different states so I don't get to see them but I love and miss them so much!! The pp is dcwv all about boys and cs is dvwv also. The photo mat, tag and orange paper is creating keepsakes and the letters were cut with the cricut. Tfl!
