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".  

Come on over to Cooking with Cricut and link up your creation using a funny quote, poem, pun or saying.   Can't wait to see what you create!

The Blog World - a treasure trove of amazing sites!

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??  :)
