Missing U! - FCCB #122 - S'more Anyone?

Happy Monday Everyone,

Hope you had a terrific weekend.  We were in celebration mode.  My sister's birthday was Sunday.  It is fun getting together for celebrations!

It is time for 'Challenge Me Monday' @ Fantabulous Cricut.  So get out your crafting supplies and let's get busy.  This week our challenge was to: Make a project with a camping theme (tent, bon fire, canoe, etc.)  Well I found me some fire, now I just need to get it incorporated into a project!

When I think of camping I think of Best Western with an indoor pool!  You say that is not camping ... oh well.  Seriously, I am not the camping type.  I need to have my shower every morning or I am a grungy beast.  And, I am allergic to smoke.  I am the one with red, soggy eyes around the campfire.  I do enjoy S'mores though ... only mine are made in the microwave.  Without further ado here is my creation for this week's challenge:
I chose to make a 'Missing U' card.  DH thought my To Do list was clever.  I hope you think so too!

Recipe:
Size:  A2 (4.25" x 5.50") Easel fold
  • Mat is cut @ 4.125" x 5.375"
  • Front Tag is cut @ 2" x 2"
  • Inside Tag is cut @ 1" x 3"
Marshmallows:  3 BIRDS ON PARADE, pg 57, Camper-s Layer 2 cut @ 2.9" (This was figured using Fit to Length to find the size).
Fire:  YEE-HAW, back page, Campfire + Layers cut @ 1.5"
Tepee:  CREATE A CRITTER, pg 63, Fox and Fire cut ! 1.9" using Accessory feature
Cardstock:  The Paper Company (Kraft, White, Brown, Turquoise, Goldenrod, and Orange)
Patterned Paper:  DCWV (The Flower Shower Stack - Ivory and Green linen)
Accents:  3M (Post-it Note) and JoAnn's (Red - Primary Mini Brads)
Color Medium:  Pentel (Black Ener-Gel Pen 1.0mm)
Adhesives:  Scotch (ATG and Foam Tape) and EK Success (Zig 2 Way Glue Pen - Fine Tip)

I think I will grab me some marshmallows and head to the microwave. 

Now, it is your turn to come up with a creation using a 'Camping' Theme.  Then pop on over to FCCB and post away ... can't wait to see what you create!  Don't forget to stop by my design sister's blogs and give them some Gooey Comment Goodness.   Off to my abode to get cracking on the next 'Cool' challenge!


Toodles and Happy Crafting,
Belinda

Missing You

Hello again.  I have been behind getting all of my cards posted and am trying to get them finished up today.  Hopefully I will be successful.

I found the black-eyed susan die cuts in my stash and had to make a card with them.  They look so summery.  As I mentioned in a previous post I love flowers.  I lean more toward English Country Gardens.  You know the ones with lots of different flowers all growing in am unplanned kind of way.  I also like very planned rose gardens.  I have neither.  I can say that I have a delightful Iris bunch in the pond and some very tall and glorious cannas at the back fence.  Otherwise it is a bit too shady for and flowers in my yard.  Well, without further ado here is my Missing You card full of sunshine!
