My Top Picks for 2011
ok so out of sheer boredom at this moment, I've decided to do my favorite creations for each month of 2011 but I'm only doing cards because how could I possible choose between scrapbook layouts? That would be impossible for me.

Hope you've enjoyed my year in review!
ETA: The month is a link to the original post with instructions on how to make the cards, only October doesn't have this info :-)

Scrapbookpal.com Design Team Entry
Thought I'd run you thru making this shaped Wedding card, hope you like it. Feel free to point & laugh!
Using my Gypsy and Wrap It Up Cartridge, I laid-out the Cricut Cutting Mat with the car-shaped card and all of the detail cuts at 5.3 width (height is set to link so it is proportioned with width). And made all of my cuts.
Papers Used: Making Memories Slice Metallic in Turquoise, Silver & Red, CloseToMyHeart Black & White
Using the Cricut Spatula, I carefully removed all cuts from the Cricut Cutting Mat and laid aside, throwing away any pieces that aren't needed.
Using Scissors, I cut a piece about 2"x1/2" from the Red Metallic paper & added for taillights, making sure none of the red shows on the sides.
Using Piercing Tool, I removed all tiny pieces of paper from the word & put the front sentiment thru the Xyron X.
They I assembled the car except the back window.
Using a Basic Grey stamp set and Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Pumice Stone, stamped the inside sentiment.
Before attaching the back window, I sprayed it with Tattered Angels in Silver Sugar & Tattered Angles in Patina.
Before adding the silver to the tin cans "tied" to the bumper, I colored the turquoise paper with Staz-On to make them look more like soda cans.
Hope you found my little tutorial helpful!
Please let me know if you have any questions

kinda a pain & simple birthday card for a kiddo, but what kid doesn't like ice cream cones? my boys love them... in TaeKwonDo class if you break the black board on the first try you get AIC (Automatic Ice Cream), of course the parents have to buy but we're ok with that!
This sketch is from Tuesday Morning Sketches, I just had to use a fun bright paper with it.
