100 Acre Woods Birthday

So I have a friend who loves Pooh and Friends just as much as I do and her birthday is tomorrow. I gave myself Monday to spend in my Art Room to make her card. Yes I have been planning this card in my head for a while. While is was still a very hot day (I guess that is the only kind we have this year), it was a cloudy day so I was able to have the blinds
open in my room. I don't know about ya'll
but I'm much more creative when I can look outside at trees and stuff.

I used SVG Cuts September Stand Up Cards, The Maple Forest for my base card. Of course I made the leaves green because we haven't had enough green anything this summer.
I stretched it as big as I could make it.

I used Pooh and Friends Cartridge for the rest of the card. All the paper colors are Stampin' UP
These are my recipes for the card. Piglet was 2 1/4" and I use Pretty in Pink and Regal Rose
Eeyore was 2 1/2" and I use Brocade Blue, Bordering Blue and Regal Rose for Him.
The sign is 2 inches and I used leftover as well for the grass.


Tigger was 4 inches and I used Tangerine Tango, So Saffron and Pretty in Pink.
Owl was ? I think 2 1/2. I forget to measure. I used Crumb Cake and More Mustard for him. His wings was a piece of leftover paper.
Roo was 2 1/2 inches Temping Turquoise, a spare brown similar to Really Rust and Pretty in Pink.
Pooh was 3 1/2 inches. I use More Mustard and Really Red for Him.

Rabbit was 1 1/2 inch and I use Barely Banana and White and Pretty in Pink for him. The Tree House was 2 inches as was the cake.

I used the Pooh Font Cart and my Cri-Kit Pen to write the words on the back. I was tickled with how it came out and she loved the card. If you see Darla tomorrow, tell her Happy Birthday!

Storage Helps

I haven't been doing any creating for a week now. Last Wednesday I got all kids of thing got up on around the house, Thursday we went to a funeral and Friday I got sick with lovely Bronchitis. So I've been lounging around watching TV and occasionally working on jigsaw puzzles. I think I've turned the corner and I can actually process thoughts again. Yeah! Still trying to coax my tummy into be nice again and sure would love some energy. Maybe tomorrow. Anyhoo. Thought I would share what I did a couple of weeks ago with the Cricut Storage. I've shown in the past how I keep my carts, overlays and books in photo boxes. Well I've put things from each cart on my dividers to help job my memory. And (this is the part that I love) I had an Aha moment and used my Cri-Kit Pens to write each of my fonts on my cards. They are all 1/2 inch. So I can see what they would look like. Makes it much easier to visualize when picking out a font.


The front of the cards look like this and the font backs look like the bottom picture.

More Wedding Stuff

So I've been sitting in my chair being good and finished weeding the the Name Plates for the Rehearsal Dinner. I used Wanda's daisy eyelet card, but I took of the eyelet holes. They wouldn't cut on the mulberry paper. I used my new CriKit pens to write the names. The font I used was Disciple. I made I think 64 of them.
