It's cold here in Kansas (17 degrees as I type this) and I've been doing a lot of blog hopping! WoW -- there are some fabulous blogs and very talented ladies out there in blog space. I have been amazed at the creativity, I've tried to keep notes on some of the ideas that I have come across but at this rate I'm going to need a new idea journal!
Along my hopping through sites I came across the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog where they encourage Sharing, Creating and Inspiring Cricut users. Let me tell you -- "Fantabulous" does not even begin to describe their blog! They have daily inspirations Challenge Me Monday's, Quick Tip Tuesday's, Thursday's Tutorial's.....get the idea??? Hop on over there to check them out.
I decided to take part in their challenge - Challenge Me Monday #93 - Man Time. My "little one" isn't so "little" any more....I am now looking up to him! Like any typical teenager without a car (he's only 15) you can find him attached to his xBox 360 controller playing MW3, Battlefield 3, AC and others with his friends. Since that is a prevalent part of his weekend ritual that was my inspiration for this card.
Also hopping along, I came across Birthday Sundaes...where it is all about Birthday Card Challenges! I am having SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Sorry about the glare the buttons, they are glossy and look really cool IRL.
Foam tape to pop-up the controllers.
Oh -- and do you like how sneaky I was adding bling to the card?? :)
Recipe:
Cricut Cartridge: Wrap It Up
Cardstock: Bazzill White and Black
Glaze pens: black, yellow, red, blue, green, white
StazOn ink: Blazing Red
My Pink Stamper: Sweet Goodness
(the only My Pink Stamper set I own....more are definitely on my wish list!)
I altered the saying by masking off the word "sweet" and adding a hand written "Rockin'"
Thanks for stopping by!
LOVE this card! It turned out awesome! Great work :) Thanks so much for taking time to create with us at FCCB this week :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Sarah - I'm so glad I found FCCB, I can tell I will spend a lot of time there!
DeleteFirst of all, your weather comment made me laugh. It's -24 in my part of Canada!! Your temperature does not sound cold at all!
ReplyDeleteYour card is fabulous! I have a son who will be 15 this year and I've used this cut a few times for his friends. It's always well received. I love the dimension that you added to your controller - and the sentiment is perfect! Great job altering it!
Thanks so much for playing along with us at Fantabulous Cricut!

Beckie - thanks for the comments and being a new follower.
DeleteThat controller is so cute! I know what you mean about teenage boys with the Xbox. My 13 yr. old is glued to it every chance he gets.
ReplyDeleteGreat card. Perfect for a boy. I may need to get this cartridge for this cut.
ReplyDeletePerfect card for boys! {or gamer girls! :)} Love how you popped the keys off of the card! Makes it seem so realistic!
