Cookie Card Challenge: A Whatever Man Card

Hi Bakers and Crafters! Today is the Cookie Card Challenge which means I'm lucky enough to steal one of my cousins cookie designs and make it in to a card. I love these days because it gives me inspiration on what to make. Fun! :) This is what I recommend to crafters that are having a loss of mojo in crafting, find another creator online that makes something other than paper crafts and use one of their designs to inspire you. I highly recommend Georganne's blog, LilaLoa. She is AMAZING! :)

Here are these darling school cookies she made.  I loved the antique globe and thought it would be a great man card.  Here is her design, you can find her post HERE:

 Here is the card I made:

Have a Racin' Good Birthday!

Hi Crafters! Today Glora & I are doing our Cricut Cut Challenge. Fun! :)  I chose this fun race car on the Beep Beep Cricut Cartridge for this months cut.  I find it fun making boy cards.  I enjoy the challenge.  lol  This card I made for my nephews birthday.  My sisters family LOVES Nascar, especially Jimmy Johnson.  So yes, I know this isn't a Nascar style of racecar, but I don't care.  It's a race car and I used his colors.  I'm good.  lol

I had this idea that I wanted to create a "crowd".  I remember seeing a cake that used sprinkles on it to create a crowd and loved that idea and I wanted to try and figure out if I could recreate that on a card.  So I thought 'Sprinkles = Glitter' and tried it out.  I cut out, by hand, a semi circle-ish shape and covered it with glue on top.  I took a pinch of glitter from a lot of different colors and combined them in one bowl and mixed it together.  I then poured that over the glue tape and spread it around.  It's kind of hard to see in the picture but it turned out better than I thought.  It also catches the light in every angle.  Reminds me of the flashes of camera, so, I'm happy.  :)

For the rims I used the i-Top brads without the tops attached.  I thought it looked more like car rims. 

Be sure to head on over to Glora's to check out what she made using this cut.  I can't wait to see it myself!  :)

Simply Thank You

Hi Crafters & Bakers! Today I'm making a card off of an Easter cookie my cousin Georganne made in March 2012. I needed some inspiration for a Thank You card. Of course, I go to her creative site (it's amazing, check it out) and saw this little gem and thought it would be a perfect card. Thanks Georganne!!! :)

 To see the post showcasing this yummy creative deliciousness go HERE.  The following is my version of this cookie:

To make the dotted pattern I found this dotted cut on the Holiday Cakes Cricut cartridge.  OK first, I had NO clue I had that cartridge!  LOL  Second, I layered it on my Gypsy to create this design and just hid the rectangle that surrounded the dots so the dots were the only thing that was cut.  The cut is found on page 64 in the handbook and on button 37.  This is what the cut looks like:

Hi Crafters & Bakers!  Today I'm going to give you a sneak peek of some cookies that Georganne hasn't featured yet.  Well, at least I don't think she has.  :)  These cookies she made for my aunt, her mother-in-law.  My dad took the pic at the party, so I had an inside scoop!  I loved the island image cookie and decided to make my card off of that one.  (HERE is her post that she did on these cookies)

Here is my card based off those cookies...

 I made this card in a postcards style.  I didn't have a folded edge.  Here's the back.

Make sure you head on over to Georganne's blog to see what she made of mine into a cookie.

I also wanted to share a video I made of my story over the last year.  If you don't mind, take the time to watch and share with others.  Thank you!
