Cooking with Cricut Challenge #79

Make me laugh....

Our creation was to be inspired by a funny quote, poem, pun or saying.

Have you ever had a nagging feeling that you forgot something???   The calendar doesn't pop-up with any reminders but you are almost certain that "today" is more than just a "Wednesday"?  A day when no one around you knows (or remembers) what you are talking about when you say "what is today?"  Well that recently happened to me and a couple of days later, I FINALLY figured it out!  I missed a birthday!

Cartridge: Life's A Party

Using the card feature, cut at 5".

I used the layer feature to create the inside circle. 

The font is Adventure.

And continuing on the pun journey....here's another card.

At work we collected items to send some "comforts from home" to soldiers currently serving overseas.  We gathered (and bought with donations) enough goodies to fill 5 large postal flat rate boxes (USPS offers a discounted rate if the parcels are going to APO and/or FPO addresses!).

Cartridge: Boys Will Be Boys

The tank was cut at 3.5" using all of the layers. 

It's a little hard to tell, but I used the Black Glaze pen to make the

 inside of the gears glossy black. 

The font is Adventure. 

The corners were "chomped" with the lime green handled
corner chompers using "Deco".

Some exciting news!

Some exciting news!  

I am so excited to announce that I am a new member of the  Cooking With Cricut Design Team!  I am honored to join these lovely creative ladies!

Our first project was to help celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday......Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!  Read Across America:  Share a project featuring your favorite Dr. Seuss book or a project that encourages reading.  

As soon as I read the challenge, I knew exactly what picture I wanted to use.  I absolutely LOVE this picture of my god-son "reading" to my son.  The picture was taken in 1997.

The stars were cut at various sizes using George & Basic Shapes.

Thing 1 and Thing 2 are digital files from Paper Crafting World.

 The journaling is hidden behind the photo.

The stars were cut out using George & Basic Shapes,

embossed with various Cuttlebug folders and embellished 

a little with Stickles.  Foam tape was used to add dimension

to a few of the stars.

the pictures as he is "reading" it to him.
