August Card Class

Here are the cards for the August Cricut card class at Craft Fancy. Isn't the Basic Grey Lemonade paper pretty?

This one will have a button in the center of the flower.

I found this on on Splitcoast Stampers and couldn't resist. The card for the class will use the same Basic Grey paper as the others. This is the one I sent my parents for their anniversary.

Halloween Mini Book

The ladies in my morning Cricut class at Craft Fancy decided that they wanted to to a Halloween Mini book for their next project. I added a ribbon tie on the spine to hold the pages together. I'm thinking about changing the pumpkins on the cover to solid orange ones. What do you think?

It doesn't show in the pictures, but the spiders have gems for eyes and the candy was coated with glossy accents so they are shiny.

Thanks for looking.

Cannes

Our first port of call was Cannes, France. This is a tender port, so we took one of these boats (the ship's lifeboats) to the dock.

We walked around the harbor to the center of town.

There is a fort that overlooks the harbor.

One of the beautiful streets we wandered down. We did find a McDonald's and they guys wanted to get french fries. We told them that we weren't eating at McDonald's in France. Although it was a very nicely decorated McDonald's, as was the one in Venice where we did get fries. More about that one later. Without the sign, you wouldn't have know it was a McDonald's.

This is the Palais des Festivals where the film festival is held. After seeing all the beautiful buildings, I was expecting something much different than this modern building. All around the courtyard there are hand and footprints of movie stars from all over the world.

There are several small parks along the waterfront. Carousels must be very popular in France, there were two of them fairly close together in the park. We did walk down to the beach but the water was kind of murky so no one wanted to stick their toes in.

Of course we had to have crepes and Coca Cola Light, which tastes different than Diet Coke (or so Melissa says). My favorite was the Nutella crepe. Yummy.

Barcelona, Spain

We left Chicago and flew to New York City. After an overnight flight from New York, we arrived in Barcelona. While we were waiting for the bus to take us to the ship, our friends, the Smiths arrived so we were able to travel to the ship together.

Some sights along the way to the port and our home for the next two weeks, The Brilliance of the Seas.

The Christopher Columbus statue.

This fort overlooks the port.

La Sagrada Familia - we were sad that we didn't have time to go see the church. It is one of our favorite things in Barcelona.

Sculpture at the entrance of the port.

The Centrum.

This is the 4th deck of the ship and you can see all the way up to the 11th deck.

Next: Our first port - Cannes, France

It's in the Cards

It is Cricut class time again at Craft Fancy. Here are the cards for this week's class

A summery watermelon card

A cute dragonfly card

A garden card

A folded flower card

And last, but not least:

A Santa card.

I know it has been a couple of weeks since we got back from the cruise and I haven't posted any pictures yet. I'll post some later today or tomorrow, I promise.

New Cards for Class

I'm teaching another Cricut class at Craft Fancy next week. This time we making cards.

This wedding card is my favorite. I love the sparkles on the veil and the flourishes. If you want to see a larger version of any of the pictures, just click on them.

Next up is a Father's Day card.

A Thank You card. (Thanks Nicole for the color combination inspiration.)

A 4th of July card. The little stars on wires so they are kind of springy and fun.

And last but not least, a cute baby card.

I'm also teaching a class this week. We will be making a 4th of July layout using the same paper as the card. I don't have a picture of it, but you can see it on the Craft Fancy website. Just use the link at the top of the page.
