MAR-Kits Cards!!!

Happy Friday! I have some cards to share with you all today! These cards I made for Creative Inserts -- CRI-Kits. I used their NEW MAK-Kits Markers to draw on these cards. The image was drawn with the Cricut Expression but these MAR-Kits can be use in other machines. You can check out their site and some more great products HERE! I used the blue fine tip marker to draw image on this card. Fancy Frame Cartridge to draw this image:)

Life is a Beach Cartridge to draw this image. I used the red fine tip marker for this card.

Summer fun layout!

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a good day. We had a earthquake here on Tuesday afternoon around 1:52 pm. Everything in my house was shaking and falling off shelves. I yelled to my Daughter EARTHQUAKE!! We started praying to God and started running to get out of the house. When we got out side it had stopped and all the neighbors were out there. We could not believe what had just happen. My daughter was crying and I was scared and shaken up! I'm so glad no one was hurt by this earthquake. Here is another 8 1/2 by 11 inch layout page to go in to a 8 1/2 by 11 inch Your Story book for my daughter. One day I will have enough pages to complete the book. I got to keep working on the pages:)

The sun is from Mickey and Friends Cartridge and is on page #127 of the handbook. The wave border is from Life is a Beach and is on page# 45 of handbook and the 2010 is from this cart too. I purchase the clear two sided stickers from the $ Tree Store last year. I thought they would make a cute layout for my daughter and they did. I'm so glad I purchased them:) The sun face I used Lara's Crafts doll rub on faces. Purchased the rub on faces from Michael's.

I used a corner rounder to round corners on photo mat. I won from Mollie a blog friend a few months ago. Thanks again Mollie! This is an awesome paper tool to have. I'm linking this to Creative Cutter Room Challenge Splish Splash to make a water theme project. Get over there and play along and create a project. They have an awesome prize to give away :)

Thanks for stopping by and looking. Have a nice week :)

Swimming like a fish cards!

Happy Friday. I hope you all are having a wonderful day. Here is some cards I made. These cards are for my daughter to have a back to school pool party with a few of her friends. I purchased the clear stickers from the $ Tree Store last year.These stickers are so cute and they are perfect for a pool party invite cards. I had to make a quick and easy card for this party. These stickers made these A2 size cards easy to make. I love how these cards look too ;)

The water wave border is from Life is a Beach Cartridge and is on page #45 of the handbook. I embossed the water wave border with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots folder.

Cricut marker project!

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great day. Here is a card I made today for Cooking With Cricut challenge # 42 to use marker or pen work or sun on project. When I seen this challenge. I knew I want to make a card for this challenge. I used my black Cricut marker and Life is a Beach cartridge to draw this title word with the Cricut E. I cut out the star fish layers in glitter blue and pink paper and add glitter glue to star fish at top of the word friends.


I switched the paper color of star fish around on this card. These cards are pretty with the star fish cut out with the blue and pink glitter paper. These cards are easy to make and it is A2 size card.


Here is a close up of the card. The draw lines are smooth and there is no skipping on paper with the markers:) I love to use these markers to draw with the Cricut. My daughter thinks it is so cool to watch it draw the image.


Thank you for stopping by and looking and you all have a great week:)
