My Cricut Craft Room Scrapbook Friday--Swimming

**** For Melissa's Husband's Birthday Bash Blog hop please view the post below this one***






I don't know about you but it has been H O T here!! Yesterday my van said it was 101 outside.  UGH! We haven't had rain in a long time!!  Hope where ever you are today you are staying cool!
Here it is Friday already!  I love today's theme Swimming!
I used the Cricut cartridge H2O for today's scrapbook page.  My girlfriend and I have spent the last two weekends in our pool!  So I thought it would be great for a Smash book page!

I did some tearing of paper at the bottom of my page for the water, and some fibers for the straw in the drink.  My sentiment says: Day in the Sun. (which is on the H2O cartridge)

Melissa's Husband's Birthday Bash Blog Hop!!

Welcome to a Surprise Birthday Bash for a fellow's Crafters Husband. His name is Chris Pinter who is turning 34 TODAY!!
First I want to say a big Happy Birthday!! To Melissa's husband Chris!  I hope you have a great Birthday!!  

If  Jamie Lindstrom - http://www.jamielindstromdesigns.com sent you over for a visit then you are exctly where you are meant to be. If you just happen to be visiting then you should head over to pinkpolkadotscrapping: http://pinkpolkadotscrapping.blogspot.com  for the beginning of this fabulous hop! 

This was so fun to do!!  I feel that Birthday's are soo important to celebrate! It is the day of your Birth!!  I like to go all out for Birthday's!  I make Birthday's a BIG deal! First you get to pick your Birthday breakfast, then a present.  Usually we do a party on the weekend and invite family and friends.  The Birthday boy or girl gets to pick their dinner and dessert.  We decorate with balloons, streamers etc.  I think my favorite Birthday's to celebrate are our October Birthday's.  (We have 6 of them!!)  I really hope you enjoy the projects today!

I used the Country Life and From My Kitchen Cricut cartridges to create this card for Chris.  I didn't like any of my paper that I had so I made my own using a Stampin up stamp and white ink.  I know it isn't a masculine card, I don't do very well at making masculine cards!

                                                         I just added a simple sentiment
                                                                   inside of the card

Creative Kuts Design Team!!

I am so very excited to announce that I am a new member to the Creative Kuts Design Team! I am a member of the Card creating team!
I have really gotten into digi stamps.  I love being able to choose my own colors to match with my papers or my mood!

I have been participating in the Creative Kuts BAP projects for awhile which have been fun! That is how I stumbled upon this great group!! You can follow Creative Kuts on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Creative-Kuts/130937843644274

For my project I chose the Kitchen Shelf digi stamp.  You can find this digi stamp here: http://creativekuts.com/Kitchen-Shelf-Digi-Stamp-KSDS717.htm  along with other great digi stamps!
