I'm so in love!!

I finally got my Gypsy today and I am wondering why I waited so long to get it! It took a lot to convince me that I wanted one but now that I have it, I know I will use it a ton. I'm figuring it out without too much trouble and it's so much fun! Here are the two cards I made with it so far...

My son is going to a birthday party tomorrow so I made this card for the birthday boy. This was the first time I welded...I welded the gift to the blue frame. (I used Gypsy Wanderings for the frame and the gift).

This card was made with 4 different cartridges. I've never used that many cartridges on 1 card before...it's too much of a hassle to switch them in and out. (The cartridges used were Just Because Cards for the Card and scallop, Create a Critter for the hippo and the word bubble, Gypsy Wanderings for the sun, and Plantin Schoolbook for the grass). I also used Joyslife stamps for the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by!

Card for the My Pink Stamper Challenge

Robyn, the Pink Stamper, posted a challenge on her blog (www.mypinkstamper.com) to make a project using pink, green and black. I used my newest Cricut cartridge, Just Because Cards to make the watermelon and the scalloped rectangle behind it (I can see myself using that scalloped rectangle a lot in the future...it would be perfect for a journaling block)



The watermelon, layers, and scalloped rectangle are all cut at 4". The card is a standard A2 size (5 1/2 x 4 1/4) and I used glitter paper from my My Minds Eye Home stack. The ribbon is from Michaels (Dashes, Dots, and Checks)


Thanks for looking!
