Peachy Keen Sketch Challenge #50

This Peachy Keen Challenge is a sketch challenge with a twist. It required following the sketch and using metallic accents in the project. I decided to make a Father's Day card for this challenge. Seems so many of my cards are last minute - this time I'm ahead of schedule!

This card was made using:
Kraft cardstock
Cricut Imagine All Wrapped Up cartridge
Cricut French Manor cartridge
I-Rock with gold bling
twine - the red one colored with a Copic marker
sentiment stamp

Enjoy your day!!! Thanks for visiting.

A Retirement Album Using the Cricut Imagine

To make this 5x7 inch album I used:
Cricut Imagine Country Carnival cartridge
Gypsy Font
Cricut French Manor cartridge - clock
K & Co. cardstock
Martha Stewart photo corner punch
Fiskars edge punch
Your Story Personal Photobinding machine and binder
I-Rock with gold bling on cover

In this retirement celebration photo album, I spelled out the word 'retirement' with a capital letter on each page (upper case letters from the Imagine cartridge). To each of those capital letters I added other letters to spell out another word that describes retirement. Then on the opposite pages I added photo corners so pictures could be added. I used several icons from the Imagine cartridge - I thought they came out so beautiful. One of those is on the cover with alittle bling added. In addition, I made die cuts from a few other cartridges to decorate the pages. The colors from the Imagine cartridge went together so well with the K & Co. cardstock.

This was a fun book to make especially thinking about the wonderful changes that have come about for our very hard working friend!

Baby Photo Album

This 5x7 in. baby photo album was made using the Your Story Photo Personal Bookbinding machine.

I used:
K & Co. double-sided cardstock-10 sheets cut at 4.75 x 6.75 in.
Cricut Imagine Nursery Tails cartridge
Cricut Potpourri Basket cartridge
Martha Stewart border punches
5x7 Your Story Photo cardstock binder
pink ribbon
pink glitter glue

This is a gift for a new mom and I hope she will enjoy putting her new daughter's pictures in this brag book!
