Watermelon for You

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

I have missed playing along with some challenges. So much has been going on. Baseball is now over for the summer. Kids did really well, in fact, finished second in the state category that they were in. Now it is time for me to play with paper! My card is 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. I found a scrap piece of watermelon paper in my stash that is layered on the card.

Cricut Cartridges:

Gypsy Wanderings - For You is cut 1.75" wide.

Stretch Your Imagination - Watermelon is cut 2.62" wide, 1.30" high with the shadow cut. 

Martha Stewart Daisy Dots edge punch is used on the black paper strip. The cut outs pieces are added to the plaid square for a little pop! I used a white Gelly roll pen on the watermelon slice.

My Sheri Crafts - Ch. 162 Country Strong

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

Today begins a new and fun challenge at My Sheri Crafts. Our design team sister Peachy has chosen for the theme of Ch. 162- Country Strong. Since August 2-8 is National Farmer's Market week, Peachy asked us to create a card or project with a farm/country life inspiration. Living in a farming area, I am able to enjoy many pretty scenes. My thoughts turned to creating one of those pretty little scenes and of course, I had to have a barn! 

The card measures 5" x 7" and is cut from white Colorbok card stock. I layered the card with a 4 7/8" x 6 7/8" Recollections Light Blue Distressed paper to create the sky background. All other papers are from the scrap stash.

Cricut Cartridges:

Country Life - Barn scene is cut 5.5" wide, Tractor/girl is cut with the shadow at 2.34" wide, Phrase Farm Raised is cut 2.50" wide, and Chicken is cut 1.31" wide.

Every Day Paper Dolls - Grass is cut 7" wide.

Wild Card - Sun is cut 1.50" wide.

Now it is your turn to play along with us! Visit My Sheri Crafts to see the pretty and inspiring projects made by the design team and our guest designer! For more information, please visit the individual blogs and leave us a little love. We look forward to seeing your cards and projects!

I am pleased with my little country scene! Hope you enjoy it!

Beach Scene

Welcome to Glenda's Cards!

After playing with red, white, and blue papers for a couple of weeks, I was happy to add a little pink on this beach scene card. The card measures 5" x 6 1/2" white cardstock. It is layerd with a patterned paper found in my scrap stash. I think it is K&Company. Solid blue paper is Recollections and all other papers are also from the scrap stash. No, I still have not made a dent in the stack!!

Cricut Cartridges:

Formal Occasion - Beach scene is cut 5.99" wide 5" high. While doing a Cricut Craft Room search for a tree, I saw this little scene with the palm trees and decided to play with it!

Pack Your Bags - Sun Bather girl is cut 2.25" wide. The phrase Peace and Quiet is cut 2.52" wide .86" high.

Challenge:

BBTB2 - Summer Trees 

 I enjoy playing along with Cricut challenges. While searching for the required Cricut image, I find so many images that I may not would have noticed and tried. This is one of them! I like the way this turned out! It does look peaceful and quiet!
