I want Chocolate....Brown that is Jitterbuggin' challenge

I made this card for the latest Jitterbug challenge. Rules were to use brown as the main color and one other accent color. Also had to add a bow someplace on the card. I chose squirt for my image from the Best of Pixar cart and my accent color is orange. They saying says you totally rock dude. Paper for turtle was from my scrap and background of card is from DCWV paper stack called Lace and Linen. I designed on my Gypsy and forgot to write down sizes. Sorry. Hope you enjoy.

Peachy Keen Friday Challenge

This weeks challenge was to make a thank you card using a peachy keen face. Here is what I cam up with. I used the Robotz Cricut Cartrdige. Hope you enjoy.

We Love you Cherry Much

Here is the card that I created for two of the challenges that I participate in. One is the Peachy Keen Challenge 43 following a sketch and the other one is for the Fantabulous Cricut Cardz challenge that you needed to have something sweet on it. I used PK faces on the ice cream float and the cherries. Colored them in with colored pencils and blended with the 100% oder free mineral spirits. This is a technique I learned from a friend of PK. Love Love Love this look. I just went and purchased the gelly roll pens so can't wait to put those to work on my next card. Hope you enjoy.

Gypsy

Yahoo. I got my gypsy up and running and even welded my first words together for my church bulletin board. Man let me tell ya so much easier putting on one whole word instead of the indivudual letters. I have been creating other bulletin board ideas on there. These ones are a little more elaborate. Once I get them cut out. (hopefully today) I will post pictures for critiquing. Thats it for today. Oh by the way I am planning on starting to do some of the challenges that are out and about out there. First one is the LID challenge on the cricut message  board. Let me know what challenges you are doing and what you think of mine.
