Get Well-Feeling Sick? Milk it card

Happy first Monday of 2021!  I don't know about you, but I'm kind of glad to leave 2020 in the rear view mirror.  We can all hope 2021 is a better year.  I've seen so much loss and suffering at the hospital this year...and am hopeful the vaccines will change the course of the pandemic.  I had tears of joy while getting my first shot of the Moderna vaccine last week!  It represents hope!  My hospital coworkers have been cheering and taking pictures as they get vaccinated. As vaccine availability gradually spreads out beyond health care workers and nursing home residents over the next few months, I encourage everyone to get one to protect themselves and all those in their community.

Our BBTB2 challenge for the next two weeks is get well cards.  As many of us may know someone who is sick from covid or other illness, there will be many opportunities to send a homemade get well card this year.  My card below, from the the Just Because Cards cricut image collection, has the kind of punny humor that always makes me smile.  It is a slightly larger 6x6 size, as I'm planning it to use when dropping off a meal to a sick neighbor and wanted to have room to write the reheating/cooking instructions inside.  Go check out the design team projects and link one up to share!

Two pretty daisy cards to ward off the winter blahs!

Happy Monday!  I've been under the weather with bronchitis, so I'm ready to start a new week feeling a little healthier.  Between the cold, snow, ice, and being sick, I'm over this winter already!  Can anybody relate?  I was too sick to even do much crafting, although I planned a lot of projects in my head and watched some YouTube videos to help me learn Cricut Design Space.  And I did some online shopping with Stampin Up while doped up with hydrocodone cough syrup, so we'll see what kind of surprise goodies I ordered....because it's all a little fuzzy, lol!

Our BBTB2 challenge this week made me think longingly of spring, as our theme is daisies or any flower.  I made two flower cards and even tried out the print and cut feature of my new Explore Air 2 for one of them!  You can see a whole bouquet of pretty flowers on the rest of the design team projects over at BBTB2 and you have two weeks to link up a new flower project cut with your cricut.

You're RAD layout

Happy Monday!  Hope you have had a fun weekend of summer!  Our BBTB2 challenge this week is a garden theme.  Makes you just want some of that summery goodness, doesn't it?  Well, the farmer's market is about as close as I get to actual gardening, but I love cooking with garden fresh produce.  So my layout is for celebrating the delicious fresh goodness we will be having at an upcoming family BBQ.  I used the Just Because Cards cartridge for my radish and punny title.  Check out the awesomeness from the design team at BBTB2 and garden up something of your own!

One Smart Cookie layout

Happy Monday!  We have a delicious BBTB2 challenge this week-use a cookie on a project, as it is National Pecan Cookie Week.  Now that's a holiday I can get behind and support 100%!  I believe some cookie baking will happen this week at my house (although not with pecans, since I have a nut-allergic kiddo).    Personally, I am more fond of the cookie dough than the fully baked cookies.  Perhaps I have some instant gratification issues…not that any cookies last more than 24 hours in my house anyway, with three teenage boys around.

My layout (for hilarious pics of some cookie baking by the kids-there was a wrecked kitchen involved….) uses the cookies from the From My Kitchen cartridge and the title is from Just Because Cards.  I've had this awesome mixing bowl and whisk papers in the stash for over a year, just waiting for the right project.  They are from Echo Park, but I can't remember the paper line.  Do bake up a fabulous cookie project of your own and share it with us over at BBTB2, after you check out all the fun DT ideas!

You're a Vintage Model card

The Fantabulous Cricut blog is having a replenish your card stash challenge this week.  I'm barely squeezing this in before the deadline, but finally got some crafty time today to work on it!  My Dad is having a birthday later this month and I wanted to make a funny card for him.  I used the truck on the Just Because Cards cartridge, popping the bumpers up with pop dots for some extra dimension and made my sentiment from some mini letters I had in the stash from the Echo Park Paradise Beach collection.  The truck is extra personalized because I made it the same color as the beat up old truck we had when I was a kid.  I think he'll laugh at the sentiment, since there are going to be A LOT of candles on his cake!

You Float My Boat Father's Day card

We are going canoeing with my Dad next week (after Father's Day), so I thought this sentiment (you float my boat) with the canoe image from Just Because Cards would make him smile for his card.  The stamp is from a K Andrews set I got recently called Splashtastic Summer, which has lots of fun summer sentiments.  The awesome paper is from the Basic Grey Shine On collection (along with the button and transparent stars.  The banner cut for the sentiment is from Birthday Bash.  The #1Dad is from Phrases and the sun is from my fave Doodlecharms.
