Guest Designers~Crafty Card Design Team 2/15/16

Hi everyone!  We've enjoyed our week as Guest designers at Crafty Card Gallery.

We enjoy being on the Crafty Card Gallery Design Team. 

Our last card for the week is to get us ready for St. Patrick's Day.  We might give this one to my husband's mother as she celebrates her Birthday on the same day!  It is a simple card with a cut-out "so lucky" and we included a shamrock.  Thank you, for sharing our time here this week!

Recipe:

Paper:  Recollections.

Cuts:  From Silhouette store.

We hope you stop back again soon to visit us & our blog.

Hi everyone!  We are honored to be the guest designers for the third day this week!! 

We enjoy being on the Crafty Card Gallery Design Team. 

Well here in the Southwest everyone is gearing up for an important time of year; you may not know it but it's R.O.D.E.O. time.  So saddle up & put on your cowgirl boots & hats and come watch some good roping skills & shows.  The kids will love it!    

Our family volunteers and sells posters everyday at the rodeo grounds.  When we first moved here I almost fell over when we were informed the schools were out three days of vacation for the rodeo.  We came from the Midwest where the rodeo was a MUCH bigger event and mind you the kids NEVER got out of school even for the parade!

As you've guessed by now our card is geared around the upcoming rodeo; the hat is even on an "Action Wobble" so it tips back & forth when moved.  Enjoy!

Recipe:

Card Base:  Cricut Earthtones.

Paper:  DCVW "The Guy" & Recollections paper on hand.

Cuts:  From Silhouette store.
Accessories:  Action Wobble.

We hope you stop back again soon to visit us & our blog.

Hi everyone!  We are honored to be the guest designers for the second day this week!! 

We enjoy being on the Crafty Card Gallery Design Team. 

Everywhere you go this week you can't help but see things for Valentine's day.  Not only is this week about Valentine's day "LOVE", but for some people it is also about marriage.  

So today our card is a wedding card for a lucky couple who will decide to make a lifetime commitment of their love and say "I do".  This card had many pieces and was more complicated than most; one my daughter said she does not look forward to doing a lot of again real soon.  I myself like how it turned out.

Recipe:

Card Base:  Cricut Purples & Pinks.

Paper:  Recollections paper on hand.

Cuts:  From Shilhouette store.

We hope you stop back again soon to visit us & our blog.

Our card for today is one my daughter picked out for us to make; it is a pop-out card with a Valentine's theme as this is Valentine's week.  Although it may look difficult, it was really easy to make.  What have you made for the special people/person in your life?
