MOJO MONDAY 250, Verve July Diva Dare

I am trying to do better posting on my blog more often but sometimes life gets busy and I don't have time, but here's another birthday card using this week's Mojo Monday sketch.  The card base and mats are actually SU Early Espresso but look black in the photo.  I embossed the white panel with SU Finial Press EF (retired).  All the DSP are by My Mind's Eye. I used Nestabilities Lacy Circles die and Classic Circles die for the sentiment panel;  Verve Stamps Wishful Elegance (sentiment), Sunny Days (flowers), and One Person (leaves);  MFT Fishtail Flags Stax dies; and the ribbon is SU Baja Breeze Seam Binding. Buttons are from my stash.
I am also entering this card in this month's Verve July Diva Dare, which is to make a card or project with a birthday theme.

Senior Prom

This is a layout I made for my granddaughter's book. I am teaching her to scrapbook so she picked out some of the elements.  I used Cricut Storybook cartridge for the title and George & Basic Shapes for the circles; EK Success border punch (black border); Martha Stewart punch around the page border punches for the tan mat; Prima flowers; lace from my stash for the lacey flower; Prima bling; Fancy Pants flourish stamps around the edges of the teal cs.  I love the way it turned out and she did also.

I am entering this in the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog to make a project using a tux/dress or prom/dance theme.

Ten Months layout

This is a layout I just finished for my great-grandson's book.  He is so cute and growing like a weed. He is now 2 and is all boy.
For the layout I used paper from DCWV and SU cardstock.  The title is cut from the new Chip Decor cricut cartridge from Hobby Lobby, and the other cuts are from Boys Will Be Boys.  I used a Martha Stewart punch for the borders and corners. 
I love making cards but my true passion is scrapbooking.

MFTWSC69

I created this card for my great-granddaughter' birthday using the MFT weekly sketch challenge.
My DGD loves horses, being a cowgirl and the color pink so it was a perfect combination for my card.
I paperpieced her outfit using some older denim paper from my stash. I added pink heart pockets to match her shirt.  I stamped her with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored her with copics and promarkers, cut her out and mounted her on dimensional foam. I sponged the clouds  and sand, and then added the fence cut with my Cricut and the Old West cartridge. I used Cricut Design Studio to size the fence to fit on the panel and added pen marks to look like wood.
The DSP is from MME Madison Avenue.  Inks and cardstock are Stampin Up.

Supplies:
CS/Paper:  SU Kraft, Early Espresso & Very Vanilla; MME Dilly Dally DSP
Fiskar's Border Punch
MFT Dies (boot, star, horseshoe & hat)
