Marcie, I'd love to see your cards! I thought about making some at Christmas time but I was a bit of a chicken about it. I'm like that with anything new - If I'm unsure how to do something, I put off using it and then I get mad at myself for not just figuring it out and doing it!

I got one of Marcie's cards, and it was so beautiful! I saved it - I'm going to put it in a scrapbook.

Man I looked every where on my Computer and I can't find it. I know I scaned one in before sending them off. Sorry.

Maybe you could post your card from Marcie. I'd love to see it!

Fun page Karen, makes me jealous of the cricut! In addition to everyone else's comments, I think it was neat how you incorporated the tag theme onto your first page being you are using tags in the book. Congrats on starting your mousefest book!

I'm on a mission to do more pages this year and using the monthly challenges to get more done. So here are a few more:



The word "Paradise" was done with my Cricut and the word "Found" was done with chipbard letters. I wanted to use glitter on this page, but found myself out of it! I need to make a trip to Hobby Lobby for more, but I am holding back as I know I won't be able to go in and just buy a tube of glitter. So, I had to settle with what I had on hand, little sticky gems.



The word "Pool" and the circle were done with my Circut. The Cricut sure beats drawing out circles using a compass and trying to cut them out by hand!

The journaling talks about how Kiara (the water lover) not only loved the pool, but also stood out in the rain when we pulled her out of the pool and caught rain drops in her mouth while Grumpy and I took shelter under an umbrella. Since there was no lightening during that storm, we let her have her fun playing in the rain.

Very Nice!

Nala - Love the new pages! Are your Mickey heads made of sticky jewels? Very nice!
Also - the stitching on your pages - how do you do that? The flowers are very cool too!

The Mickey head on the Paradise page was done with buttons. The Mickey head at the bottom right of the Pool page was done with stickey jewels.

I did the stitching on the pages on a sewing machine using a zigzag stitch.

I would do more stitching on my pages if it didn't require going to the basement, uncovering the sewing machine from all the other junk sitting on top of it, winding a bobbin and threading the machine with the color I need.

The flowers are chipboard that I painted, inked, chalked and used rub ons and sticky jewels for the centers.

Here is my contribution for this month's challenge. This was from my June 2006 trip w/ Tiff. I used the Mickey Font cartridge for the words Mickey Mouse. I used the Mickey and Friends cartridge for the Mickey Hands. I used the George cartridge for the stars.

Dawn - That's a great page! I love the Mickey hands border - that's one I'm wanting to try too! I'd love to meet Sorcerer Mickey - he's my fave!

[mom to 3 princesses and 1 prince]

Here is my challenge.

I used Cricut "Opposite Attract" cartridge.

[Mouseketeer]

Such nice pages from everyone - I can see those Cricuts out there are really getting a lot of use!

[LilMarcieMouse]

Great pages Dawn and Mom.

[Nala]

I need to stop looking at these pages because it makes me want more cartridges!

Dawn, love the colors on this layout. It looks so bright and fun. Those Mickey hands are too cute. And I love that font!

Mom to 3 & 1, what a great way to get lots of pictures on a layout. Your pictures are beautiful. And that font is too cool.

Great job, both of you.
