Smooth Rider Card!


My mom has a picture of herself from the 70s that she absolutely loves. It's a picture where she's leaning against a car similar to the one in this pic ans she was wearing a tiger print shirt and red tight pants. So I wanted to recreate it in a card based on that pic to give her. And don't you tell her I said anything about her in the 70s, she'll kill me! Anyways, here my best interpretation of the pic into a card.TFL!
Materials:
Groovy Times(Car, Rainbow,Smooth,flowers)
Calligraphy Collection(Sun)
Once upon a Princess(Girl)
Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles folder

Hang in there Card


I have a few cards I've designed on my gypsy at one time or another and never made them into actual cards. So the next few cards I'll be making will be cards that were stored in my gyspy. It just happens that I get some inspiration from somewhere or I get a new cart a forget about the previous design. I hope I'm not the only one who has long lost gypsy files! I created this one about 2 or 3 weeks ago when I received Straight from the Nest. I finally got it out of that gypsy and made it into a card. TFL!
Materials:
Cricut Carts
Straight from the Nest(Clothesline)
April Showers(Flower pots, Trees)
MPS More Punny-licious Stamps(Hang in there)
Cosmo Cricket Earth Love paper(BG paper)
Stickos(Owls)
