For my first project this month, I decided to make a project directly from the book, using the "Just Because Cards" Cricut Cartridge.  I had ourchased this adorable paper from my LSS, it is from Best Creation Inc. "Robot" line.  When I saw this paper, I knew the exact cut I wanted to use!! 

The card base, label, and space ship were all cut from page 33,  the card base was cut at 8".  I had orginally cut the label at 8" as well, but I thought it was too big, and wanted you be able to see the wonderful paper, so I cut a smaller one, unfortunately, I did not save the resized image.  The spaceship was cut at 8" as well.  The sentiment was a sticker from the same paper line.  I mounted it on a piece of orange glitter cardstock and cut around it to make a shadow layer.  I used a few different cuttlebug folders, and finished it off with some twine.

For my second project, I used 3 cartridges.  Blackletter, Beyond Birthdays and Celebrate with Flourish.

The base of the card was cut from Beyond Birthdays at 7.31"h.

The frame and banner were cut from Blackletter.

The frame was cut t 6.10" and the banner at 1.31"

The flower in the vase is from Celebrate with Flourish.

All the layers were cut at 3"h

All the paper is from the"Perfect Day" paper pack from Close to My Heart.

I embossed the sentiment (very messy!!) with Copper Zing Glitter Embossing Powder.

I distressed everything with Antique Linen and Iced Spruce Distress Ink.

The ribbon is from My Craft Spot.  I did not have the right color, so I inked

some Vintage Vanilla with the Iced Spruce Distress Ink.

I finished it off with some Stickles in Xmas Red and Crystal.

I have 2 giveaways for you!!

The first is a beautiful K & Co. Designer Paper Pack

My 2nd giveaway is a set of Cuttlebug embossing folders.

It is the Companion Folders for Preserves.

This set coordinates beautifully with the

Preserves Cricut Cartridge

or any fruit cut!!

Here is a picture of my

4 big princes (3 sons and a son-in-law)

and the KING!! (hehe, my husband)

Aren't they a handsome bunch!!

Tomorrow, I will show you a picture of my grandsons!

As many princes as I have in my life, I do not make

very many masculine or boy themed cards. 

So this hop was the perfect opportunity to make

something for one of the many princes in my life!!

Now, on to my project for today.

I made a card using the Playtime Lite Cartridge.

My son in law had a birthday this week and he loves to fish,

so I made this card for him!!

This cute little boy was cut at 3.5".  Now he originally came

wearing shorts and a t-shirt, but I made a matching gift bag

 that you will see tomorrow, so I used the overalls

from another figure from Playtime.  I stamped his face

with Peachy Keens Boy Mates stamp set.  Isn't he too cute!!

I tore some paper for the water and the hill he is standing on.

The sun was cut from the iTop and wrapped with

twine, inked and stickled.  The clouds are stickled too.

Even thought this is a boy card, I had to

put a little bling...LOL

This cute sentiment is from Pink by Design

"Simply Everything" stamp set.

I stamped it then heat embossed it

with Zing Embossing Powder.

Please come back tomorrow to see the matching

gift bag I made and for some more fun and a

FABULOUS Surprise at the end of the hop.

Your next stop is Tiffany
