June Calendar using Cricut Life's A Beach

Happy Monday to you all!  Today I have the June Calender to share with you all--with the start of summer and every one's love of a good beach--I thought this creation was perfect.

I love adding layers and depth to a layout--I did it here by placing the sea weed and coral in between the sand strips.  When doing this, if you leave some parts unglued it gives it more of a natural feel and allows you to add other things like the seahorses and coral in and among the sea weed and sand.

I added a couple of pop-dots to the crab so you could see his smile.  Glitter is one of my favorite things to use--here I used it on two of the lime green sea weeds and a few of the corals.

Here it is all put together.

I have already started July's and it is explosive! (pardon the pun) Have a great day and we will see you soon!

House Warming Card

Hi all--hope your day is off to a rockin' start! This card was for a very good friend (one of the best) who just moved into a new apartment not far from where I live. The house warming was this past weekend and this is the card I made which was paired with a lovely bottle of vodka.

The castle is cut from Life's A Beach and I used some of the papers from the SEI kit which match the colors of the new apartment. I cut the layers but there is no shadow so I just cut a pc of paper that would hide behind the castle to look like lights in the windows.

I cut the crown from Celebrations, and the font is Schoolbook and Queen is cut from Hannah Montana. I added lots of bling to help balance the colors which are really 'boy'--here are some detail shots

Added a Cindy Crawford crystal mole to the 'Q' which got more comments than anything else.

If you knew my friend you know this statement fit was a perfect fit.
Thanks for stopping in. Keep watching as there is blog candy in the not so distant future!!!!
Make it a great on-
Bryan
