You make me Smile!

This card was made from the Cricut Cartridges: Sesame Street Holidays, Best of Pixar, and Paper Dolls for Everyday.  All of the paper used is from Stampin' Up!  I love the quality of their paper it is thick and cuts great in the Cricut.

Elmo is cut at 5", the sun at 1.71", the cloud at 4" and the sand at 1.31".  I used my Gypsy to decide how big I measured each one, that is why the measurements are a little funky.  Elmo and the sun are both from the Sesame Street Holidays cartridge, the cloud is from Paper Dolls For Everday, and the sand is from the Best of Pixar cartridge.  The sand can be found behind Dory using the icon feature.  Here is another card I made using the same sand.  

The paper colors I used from Stampin' Up are: Real Red (Elmo), Pumpkin Pie (nose), Wild Wasabi (shorts and mask), and River Rock (Sand).  I put Glossy Accents on Elmo's mask and flippers to make them look wet.  The sand and Elmo were attached using pop dots to add dimension.  The sentiment is from the Pink By Design Simply Everything stamp set.

Missing you a TON!!!

This cute elephant is from Treasure Box Designs.  Isn't it the cutest!!!  I wanted to enter the weekly color challenge at I came, I saw, I created so I used my Silhouette Design Studio to alter the colors a bit.  The ears of the elephant are Pink Pirouette, the body is Sahara Sand, and the peanut is Always Artichoke!!!  I also incorporated yellow, green and coral (orange) into my project so that it qualified for the Cameo Creations Challenge.  The tulip cuts are free SVG files from SVG Cuts, and the grass was a free SVG file from Little Scraps of Heaven.  I used Glossy Accents on the eyes to give them the shiny, wet look and the Cuttlebug Mosaic embossing folder on the peanut to add texture.

I was WAY excited to see that I could alter the colors on this SVG file, I just went to the fill screen and chose advanced options (at the bottom) and from there it let me enter my own RGB codes.  I printed it out on white textured card stock and then used my print and cut feature to cut out the shapes on my Silhouette. The white cloud at the top is from the Cricut Cartridge Paper Dolls for Everyday.

Burp Cloths

 I know you have to stand on your head to see these burp cloths but I could't get a decent picture straight up and down...sorry!!!  Made these using the same method as The Odyssey Quilt, Heat-n-Bond.  The cloth is a Gerber fabric diaper, they make great, super absorbent burp cloths.  The brown at the bottom of each burp cloth is Wrights Extra Wide Double Fold Bias Tape.  I used my fun stitches on the sewing machine to sew these onto the unfinished edges of the diaper (i.e. flowers, hearts, loop-de-loop, wave).

The turtle, my favorite, was used from a free SVG file from SVG Cuts and was cut on my Silhouette.  The crown is from Cricut Paper Doll Dress Up, the princess and the whale are from the Silhouette store, and the dog from Cricut Paper Dolls for Everyday.  I used my Imaginisce I-Rock tool to apply bling to the crown, princess and dog.

*Word to the wise:  Wash the diapers and the material BEFORE you cut and bond !
