It Had To Be Magic

Hello and welcome, today's post is a bit fun for me and I was surprised how quickly I wanted to start this layout Monday night see we get the day's prompt at midnight so I was up for an hour working on the layout. This is Day 27 of LOAD 514, the theme is I believe.... and the prompt: It's Magic. Lain gives you some ideas and it dawned on me what I really thought was magical when I was a young girl:

How in the heck did they get her in that bottle, must have been magic :) I Dream of Jeannie was one of my favorite shows as a youth and I like it so much that I wanted to dress up just like her when I was 6 years old. the layout is based on lesson 3 of a class I'm taking at Big Picture Classes: Sketch Solutions.
To play along with Sketch N Scrap's May 12th Birthday Decorations challenge from Heather of The Old Saltbox I made a border with the crepe paper:

This is the title block portion of the layout and it includes a diecut TV from the cricut cartridge Mickey and Friends cut at 2.5", also punched out the clock for a cutout sheet and added the Laugh tae with 2 yellow brads  all from this month's Counterfeit Kit the background paper is the pink sheet from one of the paper kits I had this month and I trimmed down the guitar rock star paper for the blue section piece on the layout.

 The journaling block and another look at that crepe paper border

 The top corner I added some of the dots from the Dear Lizzy thickers that was also used for the title. and the arrows were from a punch out sheet and added some color to the corner that needed something.

Pictures of the show I got off the internet, the smoke it just always made me wonder :)

The picture of me at 6 years old dressed up for Halloween and for the Halloween Parade walk at school, that was always a fun day at school.Thanks for stopping by today to see what I'm up to in my little corner of the world, just a few more days of LOAD, yep I'm ready for a break from scrappin but it sure has been fun walking down memory lane with some of these prompts.

FCCB Final post-Happy Birthday

 Hi you all! I hope you all enjoyed this week, our weather has been brrr cold but today it's been quite nice and if the Groundhog doesn't see his shadow then an early spring, only time will tell for that one. Today is my final day as Guest Designer at FCCB. I was featured in their Spotlight Sunday post this past Sunday, which you can view by clicking HERE. Here's my final project this week with Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog a card I made for my Grand-daughter Isabelle

It looks like Minnie is tossing stars in the air :) This card was so fun to make. I used Mickey and Friends Cartridge  for the Minnie Mouse die cut. The cardbase was cut from some Light blue cardstock and the green polka dotted front is actually a negative cut from a doily die cut from the paper and this is what was left. Which worked out pretty cool here (keep thse negative cuts you just never know when and where you'll use them). It gave a nice back drop for Minnie to wish a Happy Birthday to Isabelle. The Happy Birthday and the stars came from an EK Success sticker pack-Birthday Party that I found in my stash. A really simple card to make when you have all the pieces on hand 

A tip for you, if you are using a cartridge like Mickey and Friends and cutting out an image and you have extra time, cut out more of the images to have on hand to put together for a fast card. I have a few images cut and put in individual bags ready to put together.Isn't she just the cutest cut :) and it's not hard to dress her up a bit neither, I really like this cartridge for cards for the grandkids

The inside of the card includes the sentiment from CTMH-Card Chatter-Birthday stamp set and more of the stickers that came from the set that the stars and the sentiment on the front of the card came from.
It's been a great week with FCCB and I look forward to playing along with future challenges

Mickey Mouse for the Kids

Hi all, theme this week over at Card a Day Blog is kiddie card, most of my kiddie cards are for my grand children's birthdays. So this was one of the ones I recently did:

 Mickey Mouse is a favorite among my younger grandchildren. But then Mickey Mouse seems to bring out the kid in any of us (you should have seen my husband the first time he was at Disney).
Recipe:
Black A2 cardstock for the card base. Red cardstock embossed that I had received with a swap card mailing. The background behind Mickey is the postage cut from Elegant edges with white cardstock rectangle. Mickey is cut at 3.5 inches.The border is a black & white check ribbon (I had on hand) with a soda can tab threaded thru to mimic a belt buckle this was a really fun card to make and I expect it will give the recipient a smile on their face. the Mickey and Friends cart is a fantastic cart for any kiddie card you have in mind to make. Thanks for stopping by my corner of the world and I hope you have a fantastic day!
