Playtime Layout using DCWV Playtime stack

I had so much fun making this layout today for some pics of my oldest granddaughter at the playground.  I laid it out on my Gypsy last night so it was ready to cut today.  I finally broke out my DCWV stack "The Playtime Stack". to use. If you haven't seen this stack at Michaels it is printed on card stock paper.  The pieces I used had a nice glittering sheen.  I cut a cloud piece in 1/2 for the top and  and a striped piece for the bottom and then gently curved it to make ground.  There is a list of cuts below the pictures.  After cutting all the pieces I embossed the tree and clouds with Cuttlebug folder Divine Swirls.  I used chalk and smooch ink to accent cuts.  I used glossy accents on the eyes.  

Cuts:

Boy on Slide Recess cart cut at 6 inches

Tree from Just Beause Cards cut at 14 inches

Sunny Days Playtime layout

Today I designed this layout that I am going to enter into a variety of challenges.  Most of the paper is from the Flower Shower Stacks from DCVW that I bought last year.  

The Sunny Days Cuts is from Celebrate With Flourish and was cut at 2.5".

The Sun is from Pack Your Bags and was cut at 4 ". 

The girl with the ice cream is from Playtime cut a 3 " and the girl jump roping was cut at 4 ".  

The grass is from Cake Basics cut at 1" x 12 ".  

The trees are from April Showers cut at 5 3/4 " and 6 ".  

The sun border was cut from the Cricut Classic font and the flowers for the journaling were cut from Tags, Bags and More at 3 1/2 inches.  

I then embossed, cut flowers from a punch, added buttons,  drew accents with Smooch and Sharpies.  I also added Recollection Tear Drop Gems  for ice cream drops. I didn't have yellow so I put yellow alcohol ink on white ones.

First Wheels card for September car challenge

I saw a challenge on the September 9th blog to make a car card and you had to use either the word wheel or roll on your card.  I immediately thought of the little car on B is for Boy.  I had made a layout using it before for my granddaughter Katie cutting it in pink and blue to match car we gave her.   http://cricutcraftingrammy.blogspot.com/2011/01/weekly-challenge-16-cute-as-button.html 

The little boy is from Playtime.  The title is from Mickey Font and I embossed the black background to look like road.  The edges are chalked.
