Women's Work

I absolutely LOVE the From My Kitchen Cricut cart. And of course I'm joking about the "women's work" title. Although one thing I would love to do is sit in the audience at the Martha Stewart show. I ADORE her.

There are so many great cuts on this cart that just scream "retro." This was cut at 4" in blackout, shift, layers, and shadow. I used chalk inks to shade all the pieces. The paper is a digipaper freebie from Digital Delights and the sentiment is computer generated (I placed a text window on top of the orange/yellow paper before printing - so I only printed once). I added a few gems for fun, sewing, and pop dots.

I really like this one. Nice and simple. Still trying to determine the inside sentiment....

Gettin' Dirty....With you is so much fun
Gettin' Dirty....is how I like it

Any other ideas? I was thinking something a little "frisky."

This card meets the following challenges:

• BBTB2 - From My Kitchen apron
• A Crafty Little Place - #54 Anything Goes

Happy Birthday Kent

Using a layout from Everything but the Kitchen Sink, I made the following card for my little cousin's birthday:

The inside reads:

"So I heard it's your birthday....no need to get all cocky about it!"

I know, cheesy, but hopefully he will get a kick out of it. I inked all the bird parts and added a googly eye. The circle is cut with my nesties (my circles are quickly becoming my favorites) on pop-dots.

The rooster is From My Kitchen cricut cart cut at 2 3/4" (regular, layers, and shadow), the CS is from DCWV Old World pack inked with Ranger distressing inks (fire brick, walnut, peeled paint), and CS from PTI.

I LOVE Coffee

Over at Cuttlebug Challenge, the challenge is to create something with a "favorite thing." One of my favorites is coffee. Another favorite thing is my new From My Kitchen cricut cart.

I used papers from the Armadillo stack (Paper Studio) for a more retro look - since this cart is very retro in style. The layout is from Fresh & Fun. I love Beate's blog, but have never participated in her challenges before.

I haven't had energy to sew lately, but last night I was having one of my better nights, so I went a little nuts. I added glaze to the white areas of the coffee die cut and the handle. The circle is cut with my nesties in my Cuttlebug. Just to let you know, I'm currently on my second cup of coffee as I type this post! LOL.
