Simple or Not?

Are you a simple scrapper, a complex scrapper, or do you like to mix it up?
I like to mix it up a lot!
Here are a few of my layouts.
Yes, I am over a year behind on scrapbooking. ;-)
(That little cutie is almost 2!)
Simple




This is one of my more detailed pages.
I made it for a My Pink Stamper challenge a long time ago, I just never took a picture until tonight.
This is one of my favorites!!!
The challenge was to use pink, brown, orange, and green.
Not as simple ;-)




Have a great night! Happy Scrapping!!!

My Pink Stamper Challenge

So one of my favorite blogs is Robyn's My Pink Stamper!!! I happened upon it a couple of years ago, and was immediately hooked. Now I send any new Cricut owner her way. :) One of my friends said that Robyn's videos were addictive (this friend started watching her videos before she even bought a cricut).
Soooo...
I have decided to enter Robyn's challenge and Design Team call.
Robyn's Challenge was to make a paper craft using
-pink, brown, green, and one color of choice (I picked purple)
-your favorite Cricut cartridge (Create a Critter)
I decided to make a baby girl card, although, I don't even know anyone that is expecting a girl :)

RECIPE
Pink Pirouette, Certainly Celery Designer Series, Pink Passion, and Early Espresso paper from Stampin' Up!
Create a Critter and Once Upon a Princess
Chocolate Chip Ink, and Certainly Celery Ribbon from SU!
My Pink Stamper-Everyday Life

I started with an 8.5"x5.5" piece of pink pirouette card stock folded in half, then layered a 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" of Early Espresso on top. Then I cut a piece of Certainly Celery Designers Series Paper into a 5 " x 4". To make it look like a quilt, I cut it into 1" squares and flipped every other one over. Double sided paper is great! ;-) I used a piece of certainly celery ribbon. And my favorite part, the Giraffe is from Create a Critter, and little shape is from Once Upon a Princess. The shape was embossed with the Cuttlebug swiss dots folder. Then using the chocolate chip classic stamp pad, I stamped Welcome Baby from Robyn's Everyday Life stamp set. To finish it off, I used a white pen to give it a quilted look and also added a few purple rhinestones. I hope you enjoy! :)

Whooo Whooo Whooo Some cards for you!

My favorite Cricut cartridge is Create a Critter. Here is a cute owl card made out of scraps. Every once in a while I pull out my scrap bucket and make cards just from the bucket, except for the actual 8.5 x 5.5 part. ;-)

One of my best friends had her third child while her husband was away serving our country. I used Mickey and Friends and Lyrical Letters to make this card.

I love love love this paper by Stampin Up! I can't remember what it is called, and I think it is now retired. It is full of beautiful purples and greens. Image is from Lyrical Letters.

Birthday Card



Away we go, here is my first post with a picture. I made this birthday card for a card making gathering. I wanted to show some of my stamping friends how easy Cricut images are to use on a card.
