Strawberry Card - Country Life Series #3

I used the Strawberry on the Country Life cartridge to make this shaped card. I did not weld it together I just glued the top of the strawberry to form the card. I cut all of the shapes out at 4 1/4".






After I had everything glued down I went around the card with a white gel pen. This card will fit into a regular sized envelop.

Windmill Thank You - Counrty Life Series #2

Growing up in Nebraska you see a lot of windmills. I can remember Mom putting the watermelons in the water tanks to keep them cool.

The Welcome Neighbor pattern paper is perfect for this cartridge. The lined paper gives the background just enough of an accent and the clouds are great with the windmill.

I kept the inside pretty simple, white cardstock with the ribbon wrapped around it.

Betty Lou - Country Life Series #1

Country Life is one of the Cartridges I received for my birthday from my guys and I am going to do a series of cards using this cartridge. Betty Lou is the first image on the cartridge and I'm going to start with her.

I cut her and the layers out at 5 inches. Keep in mind that what ever color you pick for the main image will be the color of her hair, shirt and boots unless you cut the image a couple of time and fussy cut those pieces.

I used a Martha Stewart punch for the background to resemble a fence. I'm using a Stampin' up paper pack called Welcome Neighbor for the pattern papers.

Our Family 8.5x11

Here is the completed Our Family Layout for the 8.5x11 layout. I didn't have enough of the Sunburn papers so I used up some of the scraps from my layout to make this one. I have two more of these pages to do and their color combination will be different as I've used up all of these papers. Hopefull I'll finish them before the end of January, then I'll be ready for the February layout.

I used my white Signo pen to create the faux stitching and inked the edged of the with burgundy ink except for the "2011" which I used Versa Magic - Cloud White.

January's Challenge

Here is the 12x12 Our Family layout. The only difference is the size of the photo mat and the placement of the "our" tag.

I liked the colors in this layout so much I did the same color scheme for the girls and boys.

January's Challenge - Part One

Here is the 8x8 layout. I just love the color combination in this layout.

I used a new to me Cricut Cartridge Country Life to cut the 2011. I did not glue down the bottom part of the letter y so that the picture can be slid underneath it. I have not made the 8.5x11 layout page yet, but I did include the cut file here.
