I made this card as a thank you card for my pastor, who is wonderful… my Daddy is having surgery next tomorrow in B’ham about an hour and a half away… at six the morning… Pastor David is coming to pray with my dad before surgery!!… I wanted to thank him… there is not enough words… I hope this makes him know how much this means to us.

Pumpkins cut @ w 1.20 x h 1.30 and 3 1.0 x h 1.07... The second set of pumpkins I used the hide contour feature to remove the slits in the pumpkin… and cut those in a darker orange…. On the Cricut you would have to use different pumpkins.. I would cut them @ 1 ¼ and 1 inch.

Live Simply

Chipmunk cut @ w 1.56 x h 0.93... Since I cut him so small I didn’t cut the layers and just added accents with my pens and chalk… on the Cricut I would cut this at 1 inch.

Bloom

Trees cut @ w 3.64 x h 3.89... I cut this out three time.. On the bottom one I used the whole tree… on the next one that I popped from the bottom one I cut away the right limb... and on the top one that I popped from the middle one I cut away both limbs… on the Cricut I would cut this @ 4 inches.

Create a Critter

Leaves cut @ w 0.79 x h 0.88 …on the Cricut I would cut this @ ¾ and inch.

I love sharing the instructions and files for my cards but I do ask that if you use my instructions or files to recreate my card and place it on your blog or somebody else’s blog that you give me the credit for the original design. I also ask that you do not submit my designs for publication, profit or for any contest. Thank you!

Blowin' in the Wind

I got so excited about this card that I am going to have to go back and doodle my corners...so imagine that the corners are already doodled..... this K&Company paper was a piece that I just fell in love with and have looked at on and off for a week at least....then today I looked at it and saw wind and knew exactly what I was going to do...well almost... my DH said oh you have to add the House Mouse ... the one that is dancing... and that made it just perfect... the House Mouse on the inside is all tired out!...

Inside of Card

This is an odd little card that I made... I know its very different.... it started with that strip of paper on the bottom of the card....then I wanted the pumpkins... and hand-cut the flowers to make the pumpkins more a part of the card...then there was that tree...one that I had cut the wrong size for another card a while back...and it was begging me to try it on the card...I have no idea why...but I liked it.... maybe you do too...just maybe you are not thinking "why in the world did she add the tree?"....

A Scarecrow in the Moonlight

When I found this paper in my stash I know exactly what I wanted to do with it.... it just took me a couple of days to get the energy...(my Lupus is raging)... I was so excited that it turned out as I imagined... the only change I would make is on the inside ... I would add a red strip of paper down the left side under the sunflowers... I hope you like it! thanks for looking...~~Jeannie
