Another Card for SAFEHOME!!
Welcome to Funky Cards
As I hope you know by now, the I feel the Love Project is sending unsigned birthday cards to SAFEHOME for the month of August.
The next card I made for this month's project included the Bear w Cupcake n Sprinkles DS from Papercraftingworld.com (PCW).
I decided to alter the image just a bit to show you once again that digi stamps can be very versatile. I used Photoshop to alter the colors of the bear, the cupcake frosting, and the cupcake wrapper.

By
editing this digi stamp in photoshop, you can see how it completely
changes the look of the stamp.
One thing that I really like to do is combine digi stamps with Cricut cut outs. This
digi stamp is paired with the "celebrate" sentiment and the "candle" cut out from the
Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge. The candle was embossed using the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. This card is ready to be sent to the
shelter. I will be making more this month and like I said before, I
hope you will as well. Spread the word! You know how much I love
spreading the love one card at a time.
Thank you for stopping by. Have a fabulous day!

"I Do"
Today the design team members from MyPaperCrafting.com would like to share with you some wonderful ideas and projects that include Cricut cuts from different Cricut cartridges.
My project was inspired by a very special event that recently took place. My oldest brother, Dalton, married his best friend, Sami on June 22. I wanted to make a mini album that my mom could either keep on the coffee table or take with her when she wanted to show her friends just a few pictures from the wedding.

I wanted to make a mini album that my mom could either keep on the coffee table or take with her when she wanted to show her friends just a few pictures from the wedding.
Since Dalton and Sami were married on the beach at a golf course, the cover shot was a picture of the two of them in their get-a-way car, or should I say cart!! To embellish the front cover, the word "love" was created using the Plantin SchoolBook Cricut cartridge to make the tiles and the Jubilee Cricut cartridge to make the letters. To make them authentic, they even have the correct point value for playing Scrabble!! The outer edges of the tiles were inked so they would pop.

The anchors adorn the inside cover. They represent Dalton, who proudly serves in the U.S. Navy. These anchors were cut using the Going Places Cricut cartidge.
As you can see from the photos, the wedding took place right on the beach. In this picture, Dalton and Sami were exchanging their "I Do's." The "I Do" Cricut cut out can be found on the Sweetheart Cricut cartridge.
We all gathered for a group shot on the beach just before the storm hit and the rain really started to come down. There is no way we will ever forget this day, but it seemed like a great place to put the wedding date using the Pooh Font Set Cricut cartridge to cut out "June 22, '13."
As the album draws to a close, it seemed fitting to have a toast. Here are a couple of champagne glasses cut from the Sweetheart Cricut cartridge to raise as we celebrate the newlyweds.
I found that by using Photoshop to crop and stitch the photos together, I was able to get so many pictures into this small album. Instead of just one picture on a page, you can see that there are pages with three and four pictures to a page.
I hope you enjoyed my mini photo album. It was really fun to make. There are other inspirational projects for you to check out today during Cricutlicious Saturday. Be sure to stop by MyPaperCrafting.com to see what our design team has to share with you (including my mom: Click HERE for my mom's blog!!).

Birthday Cards for a Cause!!
Welcome to Funky Cards
If you haven't heard already, the I feel the Love Project is sending unsigned birthday cards to SAFEHOME for the month of August.
My card included the IFTL Birthday Bear DS from Papercraftingworld.com (PCW). Ms. Melin is offering this DS for just 99¢.
I decided to alter the image just a bit. I used Photoshop to erase the strings from the balloon. I then refilled the brown ink in the arms. Of course you can see that I changed all the colors of the balloons so that they would match the paper that I selected for my special card.

changes the look. If you click on the photo you can see that I even added little polka dots to the balloons. Painting/editing in Photoshop is really fun. I left the strings off all together because I wanted to use real wire for my card.
There are other ways to also make the digi stamp pop a bit. As you can see, the edges of the stamp are inked a bit darker than the paper. The cute little bear also has rosy inked cheeks and a bow in HER hair!! This digi stamp is paired with the "It's your birthday" sentiment from the Birthday Bash Cricut cartridge. This card is ready to be sent to the shelter. I will be making more this month and like I said before, I hope you will as well. Spread the word! You know how much I love spreading the love one card at a time.
