Karen's Craft Creations

Today I am working on a scrapbook page from this summer.  The kids haven't has very many days in the pool, we have had a couple of mild weeks and the water hasn't had time to warm up. This is one of the good days. I have some other photos for the second page. These cuts are from the silhouette. I did them as a print and cut. The Good times label is from the Cricut Imagine. Hope you like it, come again soon.

Today I am posting two cards with different styles. They are the same flower image but stamped and colored differently.   The first is a regular black ink and pencil colored. This one is softer and the color has a brushed quality.        The second is embossed with black powder with spectrum noir colored (PP3, PP5). This one is very bold and has a great shine; however, the color looks a little plastic. I just can’t get the hang of blending….no matter how hard I try.         The white backgrounds are both Cricut cuts from elegant edges, I welded a border to a triangle from storybook. Hope you like seeing these two techniques together and come again.

Today I have made a scrapbook layout for the photos I took last night and the ones I will take today. I worked in Cricut craft room to make the header, if you would like the file just let me know. The fireworks are from stand and salute, the little boy is from A child's year and the font is songbird. I like the way it turned out my photos are going to look great.  Have a happy and safe 4th.   Challenges entered: http://acreativeromance.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/show-us-your-colours.html http://www.lisasomerville.com/2014/07/happy-4th-bloggers-challenge-red-white.html http://brownsugarchallenge.blogspot.com/2014/07/challenge-101-anything-goes.html http://jellyparkchallenges.blogspot.com/2014/07/red-white-and-blue-challenge-jellypark.html http://www.ttcrd.blogspot.com/2014/06/hi-anne-here-posting-today-and-on.html http://crafterscafeblogchallenge.blogspot.com/2014/07/challenge-70-red-white-and-blue.html http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/search/label/Challen...

Today I am having trouble with my imagine. I can't seam to get my machine to work with CCR. It will print the image but then it will push out the mat and not cut.  Very frustrating. I did get this image to print, along with the background paper. Hope you like this and come back soon.
