Pepe Le Peu's Cousin makes it to the (3D) Eiffel Tower!
I have been wanting to try the 3D eiffel tower since I got Summer in Paris and I finally found the time to do it today! It's really easy to put together you just have to make sure you use really good adhesive. I stamped all over it with a swirl stamp to give a more metalish look and I embossed the black with D'vine Swirl. The whole thing was cut at 8 3/4 which is fit to page on the 12 x 12 mat. TFL!

Defender Mice Card!
I was reading a poem called Here's to the mice and I thought of this card! In this card the elephant was trying to eat the peanut and the mice came to the rescue and scared the elephant to leave the peanut alone.Hopefully you got all of that without me saying anything:) So I used Create a Critter for the mice, elephant, peanut, and platform. Then I handmade the ladder because I couldn't find any in my cartridges. The rest are Sticko Stickers. TFL!!

I used some of my favorite cartridges Sentimentals, Summer in Paris, and Create a Critter:) I used to love watching Pepe Le peu so when I saw this skunk I thought of him!TFL!

Tweet-Hearts Card
I just got the DCWV Flower Shower Stack yesterday and I love it! I don't know why I waited so long to get it. So for this card I paired it up with my favorite cartridge at the moment, Create a Critter!All of the cuts on here are from that Cartridge. I saw these birds when I was looking through the cart booklet and was wondering why they weren't paired together. So I took the liberty of putting them together in this card!TFL!

Camping Birthday Card
You know I have gotten into designing cards on my gypsy before I get the cartridges. And it's so awesome because once you get your cartridge you're not stumped on what to make since you already have something set up. So I got Summer Vacation and I love this tent because the only other tent on the carts was the Camp Out one and I am not terribly fond of that one. So I made my first card with Summer Vaction with that tent. I'm going to give this card to my grandpa for his birthday.TFL!
Materials:
Cricut Cartridges
Plantin Schoolbook(Tree Border in the back)
Camp Out(Trees in the front)

When I got Preserves I started looking through the booklet as I always do when I first get a cartridge and I ran into the watermelon.

Mother's Day Flowers and Vase
I made these Flowers for my Mom for Mother's Day. These flowers gave me so much trouble, they kept breaking and sticking together! I was this close to throwing them in the trash! But since it was for my Dear Mother I kept at it. Finally I finished 2 hours later with my hands full of ink and glue. But it was so worth it!
P.S- I used Flexible Straws as the Stems of the flowers. I just put some glue around the top and slipped it into the bottom piece of the flower. Since they are flexible you can twist to the way that fits best and cut them to be different lengths.
