Santa and hot chocolate-Sidestep scene card


I love making these type of cards because they allow me to have more depth in the card. I love the santa on the scandanavian christmas cards cart. He's so sweet and I made him a bit bashful with his blushing and eyebrows. I also love to use stickers. I hear so many people say they stop using stickers after they get a cricut. I for one think they compliment each other, especially the really pretty 3D ones.TFL!
Materials:
Cricut Carts
Scandanavian Christmas Cards(Santa)
Joys of the Season(Wreath, fireplace)
Yummy Imagine Cart(Table,hot chocolate)
Cuttlebug Brickyard Folder(Floor)
the Rest are stickers

First Christmas Card using Imagine


I got the Imagine last night at Walmart for Black Friday and I'm loving it already! It just makes making cards so much easier than the way I used to do it.I just assembled it and calibrated it and made this card. I used the Imagine More Cart for the Piano, Industrial Glow for the scalloped square gear paper, and Winter Frolic for the tree. I printed the tree layers and I love that I don't have to color all the pieces like I used to. The rest of the pieces are from a new Recollections paper pad and stickers are from K&Co.

Princess Card!


I have been waiting to get Picturesque since what feels like the beginning of time! I remember they used to sell on ebay for more than 100 dollars and I was never going to pay that much for a cart! So, Boy was I happy when I won it off ebay for about 19 dollars. I linked it to my gypsy and made this card. I used the cart for the clock and the decorative piece next to the stamp. I used some key charms from Walmart and my TGF stamp Princess Collection 3 and presto finished the card

Decorated Mini Fridge



This fall I'm going off to college and my aunt gave me this mini fridge to get started on my dorm stuff. I love the mini fridge but wanted to give it my own spin. I used the colors from my comforter(2nd pic) and made this little scene. So I used the TGF Fly Away Set, an alphabet set(for my name) and a strip of green paper(grass). I laminated all the pieces with my Yourstory so when I would adhere them to the fridge they could easily be taken off. I thought this would work to use it for the TGF Throwback ABC challenge so this is also my entry for that challenge.TFL!
