Let's scrap challenge 11-24-10

This is my take on the  Let's Scrap challenge 11-24-10:
We had a 1920's Aviator party for my DH on this 40th as he's crazy about flying. The papers are from Kaisercraft's After five collection. I used pewer embossing powder for the title (40th birthday) and was very impressed by the result - it looks like real pewter!

Another card for Let's Scrap!

Once I figured out the dimensions of this card it took me all of 3 minutes to make another one!

Ohhhh Missed the deadline - again!

Missed Fantabulous cricut's deadline again! Well, that's living "la vida loco" (the crazy life). Let me go and see what the challenge is for this week. Maybe if I start early (today) I can enter this week.
Time's running out for the Lets's scrap challenge too. What's happening?

Cards

I created this card based on last week's Fantabulous Cricut Challenge at http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/ using Cricut Animal Kingdom Cartridge. I glazed the bird's eye and beak for a more realistic look. Got my new blog up too late to enter, but watch me this week!
 This card I created in 10 minutes for a friends (belated) birthday also using Cricut Animal Kingdom  cartridge. She's a cat person so I think she'll like this one... The cat is mounted on foam tape to give it a 3D look.

Hi there!

Now this is a HUGE step forward for me! It all came about when I purchased my Personal Cricut machine recently. I wanted to buy some cartridges right away - until I heard what they cost. Then I discovered e-Bay! And my cartridge collection tripled within a week. Then I discovered all the fantastic cricut challenge sites. Guess what? They all need a blog site to link your work to. And here I am! Learning as I go...
