Diamond Fold Card

I found this Diamond Fold Card on Creations with Christina's website here: http://www.creationswithchristina.com/2011/09/cwc-9611-diamond-fold-card.html
After watching her video I know I had to make this card.  I love the way it came out, it's definitely something different.  My Dad loves anything sailing so I thought this would be perfect for him.  Plus I was able to use up.....you guessed it, scraps.

Happy Halloween!

Here's another Halloween card I made for two challenges.  I'm actually early this year and think I will knock out all my Halloween cards early this year.

Cricut Cardz Challenge #91: The challenge for this week is "Things That Go Bump in the Night!" Make a card for Halloween with the spookiest, scariest image you can find on any cartridge(s), and using  any colors you’d like.

And

Disstress it over at http://polkadoodle.blogspot.com/  Scrunching, inking, tearing, sanding, infact whatever distressing technique you love 'Distress it' challenge.


Also found the perfect spot to photograph the card, in the moss that is growing from a Cypress tree in my front yard.  It's actually pretty neat looking.  I distressed and inked the edges of the purple cardstock to make it a little scarier.

Tiki birthday Card

This is the first time I've used this cut from Life's a Beach, I love they way it turned out.  I had to cut the Tiki 3 times to get the different colors of the faces.  Of Coarse I used all Scraps, slowly getting my scraps down.  Can't wait until they are all gone.......
