Creative Inspirations
Here is a layout I did recently. I have been loving my Cricut that my Silhouette actually has been on the shelf collecting dust. But now finally getting to a couple of the layouts I have been wanting to tackle. I remember having downloaded a few train images so I fired up my Silhouette. Here is my creation:
I even went through my stash of papers to find this adorable train paper.

Today is my husbands birthday! I love creating unique cards for him and this year is no exception. He has always loved to ride his mountain bike but when we lived in Louisiana you don’t have a lot of mountains LOL. When we moved to Washington State he did not really ride which was a bummer. So when we moved to Colorado three years ago he got back into it in a big way. So what would be a good card for him? A mountain bike card!!
The mountain bike is from the You Are Here Cricut Cartridge and the mountains are from Dinosaur Tracks. I use New England Ivy, Kraft, White Daisy, Glacier, Black, and Silver Foil which are all Close to My Heart. The blue green is from my stash.

Ready for another snow layout? Here is one I did using the now retired Close to my Heart snowflake thin cut.
For this layout I used White and Sea Glass glitter paper. It is a simple layout but I really love the way the snowflakes turned out. I did add some white splatter to the background to look like snow.

I have actually been able to get a few layouts completed over the holidays. Here is another layout completed.
For this layout I used a paper pack I had in my stash but I do not remember the name as I have been hanging on to it for about 5 years. I did use the CTMH retired snowflake thin cuts.
