Card Patterns #19/Graduation Altered CD's and Last 2 pages of Silverwood Book

Here is a card for the card patterns sketch #19. My uncle's 80th birthday party is next weekend and my kids are going with my parents (I'm not!). I wanted the kids to have a cool card to give him! I used scraps from Bo Bunny paper (I used it for my daughter's outdoor school book which I will have to post pics of!). It's your day is from the George Cricut Cartridge and so is the circle. The branch is from the Storybook Cricut Cartridge. The scallop is a quickutz revolution 12" die. The 80 and owl are both quickutz 2 X 2 dies. The blingy leaves I got at walmart in the button section.




These next 2 pictures are of the altered CD's I made for each kid in my daughter's 5th grade class. I used a star theme for the boys and hearts for the girls (my daughter had 2 Morgan's in her class ~ one a boy and one a girl!)

I used the Cutting Cafe happy graduation big printable stamps on one side and Cutting Cafe calendar printable stamps on the other side. 5th grade is from the Locker Talk Cricut Cartridge, the names are from Don Juan Cricut Cartridge,




Congrats on the star one is from the Teardrop cricut cartridge and the stacked congrats is from Beyond Birthdays Cricut Cartridge.

These were such great fun to make. I also cut 12 of the stacked congrats out really big and hung them from the ceiling with fishing water with blue and white streamers and glittery grad caps.

Both my kids and my daughter's friend Stephenee helped us decorate for her room's breakfast. The kids said their room was the best decorated! Very fun!

And here are my last 2 pages from the Silverwood Book!

100% and Extreme are from the Graphically Speaking Cricut Cartridge ~ I love this cartridge!

This last page was kind of a fill in - I ran out of pictures. The black circles I used a doodling template my sister sent me ~ how cool is that! I got the bingo card from the frugal crafter blog fro free. Idaho is cut from the Cricut 50 states cartridge.

The green frame and "day" are from the Storybook Cricut cartridge. And last but not least, the July 2008 are from the revolution cookie cutter calendar dies!

I hope everyone is having a terrific Monday!

Card Patterns + Silverwood Book Part 1!

I saw the card patterns sketch today and I automatically thought "easter egg." Looking through my stash of easter paper, I found this patterned paper! I cut the "egg" out of chipboard with the sizzix oval frame! The chocolate rabbit is a new quickutz die. The flower is felt cut with a sizzix die. And the grass is also a sizzix!

It seems like a pretty simple card ~ sometimes simple is good!





I have really been scrapping lately! I started an altered book for myself, my daughter, my son, and my niece (yes 4!) in August. I had done the cover and the first 2 pages in August and hadn't touched it till about a month ago! I'm really putting a lot of effort into it and it is probably one of the most creative projects I've ever done. I got the books at Craft Warehouse - the pages are heavier than chipboard - it was meant to slip pictures in and has sayings and quotes in it. But at Craft Warehouse, they had one that they had started altering and it gave me an idea! I do have more pages done (by I'm not done with the book yet!) so I will share a few here and there!

Silverwood is an amusement park in Athol, Idaho just north of Coeur d' Alene. It had some awesome roller coasters and a lot of other cool rides. When we were visiting my parents last summer in Lewiston, Idaho we took my niece with us to spend the day there! (My friend Gail always points out that even if we spend a day doing something it takes many more days to scrap it!).



This is the map at the entrance of Silverwood! This is Shaina's book ~ each one uses a little different colors on this first page and has their name in the book (I just put "mom" in mine!).










I got their picture by the entrance to the log ride! Very fun!











The Corkscrew is a roller coaster that Silverwood bought from Knotts Berry Farm and it was the first upside down roller coaster!
