I have been looking at this cut (the swirly thing on the bottom of the shelf) thinking that this would be a beautiful shelf!!... so I flipped it and welded a rectangle to it... and made myself a shelf... but I couldn't thing what in the world I wanted to put on this shelf.... and while I was going through my cuts I came across this beautiful corner... that I have never been able to incorporate into any of my card before and this idea just came to me... it so reminded me of an old house with the phone in the hall on a shelf... with a chair sitting by it... so so sad that I am old enough to remember seeing such as this!!! lol... and this is the card I ended up with... I was quite tickled with the end result...and it was such an easy card... what an extra!!.. hope everyone is having such a wonderful day! ... Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT & GYPSY

Stamping

Swirls for bottom of shelf cut @ w 3.65 x h 1.29 - on the Cricut I would cut this at 1 1/4 inches.

George

Rectangle for top of shelf is a square cut @ w 3.75 x h 0.30 on real dial size I cut this 3 times one of the rectangles is welded to the swirls to make the shelf and popped the the second from the shelf and the third one from the second- if I was using the Cricut I would cut this with a paper trimmer at w 3 3/4 x h 1/4 of an inch.

Sweethearts

Corner Filigree cut @w 2.82 x h 2.71 - on the Cricut I would cut this @ 2 3/4 inches.

From My Kitchen

Phone cut @ w 2.70 x h 1.79 I cut this twice so I could pop the top phone..from the top phone I cut the handset and the cord and used on the inside of the card - on the Cricut I would cut the phone @ 1 3/4 or 2 inches.

I also cut the layer feature of the phone to get the center tan oval of the phone.

The easiest way to get this the right size is to click on the phone and then pick your layer feature then they will be the right size. This is my mat before I cut... I moved the images that were to be black close together before I cut... the images in red are welded together.

Pooh Flowers

Vicki and I had so much fun yesterday making our own challenge!!! the we just had to do another one... we chose the Pooh and Friends flowers on the "tiger" word page...and added Nanna's Nursery paper since we both had it... it was so so fun...I can't wait to see hers... this has really added a new dimension to making a card...different from a regular challenge... since we post at the same time...it gets really exciting!!... Hope you like both cards!!! Thanks for looking.. ~~Hugs, Jeannie

CRICUT

Pooh & Friends

Flowers cut @ 5 inches once on regular cut, 2 times on shift for the layers.

The layers I cut once to add to the green where the flower cut out...the second I shaded with color pencils and pop-dotted from the first ones... I glued the bottom of the flower directly to the bottom flower and popped it in the middle.

The flowers and leafs of the first cut are popped from the paper but the stem is glued directly to the background paper.

Beyond Birthdays

Hello Friend cut @ 1 1/2 inches.

Nanna's Nursery Paper Pack

Lots of brown ink and a fork bow.

Just playing around on this one... was in the mood to make a card... all I could thing of was that hedious red, black and white dress I saw today.... maybe the card doesn't represent the dress in any shape form or fashion... LoL....

A Wonderful Friend Card

Just in the mood to make a card today...did't get out so I had to depend on the paper to inspire me. Hope you like I ... I was really pleased.

Lets Get Together

This one is outside my comfort zone... on one of the threads I read that someone made cards until they used up all the paper they were using... So I am trying that to make me think outside the box... and on the way to work I looked for inspriation... found some...
