Krafty Girls Challenge #1

It's FINALLY here!! Krafty Girls is up and running! You should have arrived from Chris' blog, If not, make sure you start from the beginning over at Krafty Girls -you dont want to miss a thing! :)  Challenge # 1 is to create a card, scrapbook layout, 3D object, or home decor project that represents where you're from/live.

I live in southern California, and even better -within 20 minutes from the beach!

"I" is from All Mixed Up cartridge, the heart is from Baby Steps, and "Cali" is also from Baby Steps [just welded]. The sentiment is from My Creative Time's This & That set.

 The palm tree is from Summer Vacation and the gal is from Pack Your Bags. Her face is from Peachy Keen's Christmas Character Face assortment.

The ferris wheel is also from Summer Vacation.  The reason I added a ferris wheel is because I ♥ ferris wheels and the closest beach to us is Newport Beach/Balboa Beach and they have a ferris wheel [like other beaches like the Pike in Long Beach, Santa Cruz boardwalk, and the most known the Santa Monica pier] =)

and my favorite cricut sun is from Doodlecharms -its face is from Pks' Happy Lashes assortment.

You Spin Me Round ;)

Goooood afternoon! It's a hot summer day here in California! Summer days remind me of my favorite place nearby, Santa Monica beach. I absolutely LOVE the ferris wheel - ALL FERRIS WHEELS ! Light bulb - card time! 

Recipe for this card:

Ferris Wheel - Summer Vacation  (I dont know if you can see, but I hid the stars from the ferris wheel and added hearts instead!)

Sentiment - Pink by Design "Oh Boy"

Word Book

Hello all, hope you guys had a great weekend! Tonight I'm sharing the first and only word book I've ever created! 


I'm sure I've mentioned it somewhere in my blog, but Arcy came from my hubby's name and mine. 
ARmando & CYndy = Arcy ♥ 
I just welded the squares/rectangles with the shadow of "ARCY" from the Storybook cartridge and then cut the "ARCY" in the normal mode.  

The inside of "A" and "R" 

The ferris wheel and tickets are from the Summer Vacation seasonal cartridge :) 

 Here's a closer look at them.. (I know, I know simple... but cute right? ) 

 Behind the "R" is my hubby <33 lol The Golden Gate/San Francisco cut is from the Destinations cartridge. 

 The very back of the book! The shoes & the phrase are from Sweethearts. 

 

That's it for my book! Wish you all here in the United States a safe 4th of July tomorrow!!
