Monkeying Around! Bear Hugs Design Team Post. and Weekly Freebie.

Today I have a quick card that I made using Bear Hugs Art and Scraps Monkey Business cutting files. I really didn't know which file I wanted to play with this week. But this cute little monkey just won my heart!

I used a stamp for the sentiment and think it goes perfect with it.

I added a button that looks like bananas to spice it up a bit!.

and don't forget to go over to Bear Hugs Art and Scraps to get this cute free cutting file!

I will be entering this card over at Monica's Creative Madness for her newest challenge which was to create a project with a cupcake. Thanks for popping bye. Have a great week.

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Me Monday! Wedding Bliss!

Hello my Crafty friends. Hope everyone is having a great weekend. I just wanted to stop by and show you a card I made for a couple of challenges going on right now.

The first being Fantabulous Cricut Blog: Wedding Bliss

Make a project for the happy couple (wedding or anniversary)

I decided on a Anniversary card.

For the card base a used a free file from  Monica's Creative Room. This card is called a gate fold and I just love all the detail cuts in it. If you are looking for it it is card #16.

The beautiful detailed hearts on the front of the card were cut from Wedding Cricut Cartridge at 2 inches. I used a pretty pink shimmer paper which does not show up in the pictures.

For the Happy Anniversary I used Martha Stewart Elegant Cakes Cricut Cartrige and cut it at 1.5 inches.

 Final touches were a bit of chalking around the edges of the card, some pretty heart brads and a heart charm.

I am also going to enter the card over at D.L. Art: Wedding or Anniversary challenge.

As always thanks for stopping bye, have a great weekend.

Gone To The Beach!

Last year when we were in Hawaii we came across this store with full life size bears. I couldn't help but want to get our picture taken with them to show the grand kids . I have never seen such large bears, my hubby is 5'7 and I am 5'5 and we are standing up tall and straight. At the time I didn't know I was going to be part of Bear Hugs Design Team and when Karel came out with these files I knew just which picture I was going to work with. I just love the way it turned out and I am already thinking about page two.

The layout itself was super fast to throw together, using paper that I had gotten about eight years ago.

 The umbrella is from Bear Hugs by Art and Scraps Beach Bums.

I wanted to tie in the bright colours of the umbrella and came across some more old paper which I had picked up in Hawaii over five years ago but  thought was to busy to use as a background so just added a small amount to tie everything together.The Bears are from Bear Hugs by Art and Scraps Beach Babes

 The Lei is from the Dollar store which I just cut in half and used for both bears.

I am going to enter this layout in the following challenges:
Creative Cutter Room: Summer Fun
Die Cut Diva's: Summer Fun

Getting Cricky with K Andrew: Summer Celebration
Cardz TV: Anything goes

As always my crafty friends thanks for stopping bye and leaving me some love. Have a Great weekend.
