More Summer fun Scrap style!

One of my fellow DT members Emma over at Peachy Keen Stamps has started a challenge on her blog Creative Time for Me. I just love what she is doing. She is "revisiting" old Cricut Cartridges and showcasing them on Throwback Thursdays! How fun is that!!! I don't know about you all but I get new things and something forget about the old things. Her challenge this week was to use the ANIMAL KINGDOM cartridge from Provo Craft. I haven't used this cartridge is ions and I was excited to see what I could pick out. I recently got the
PK-751 Animal Faces Peachy Keen Stamp set and couldn't wait to use it. This stamp set is amazing...it comes with a set of 50 stamps and totally changes the look of the images you can cut out on the Cricut. I personally don't care for the faces on the cut outs and use a PKS face whenever possible. Why not?? They are just to darn cute!

I am a big lover of using my scraps so when I saw the challenge over at The Townscrapper I was all over it. I still had the scraps on my craft table from the project I just completed (imagine that!) so I decided to use them. I picked out the fish from the Animal Kingdom cartridge and picked a fun summery theme. Maybe I took the using your scrap thing to far...LOL! I used some shell buttons that I had to cut the backs off of to put on top of the seaweed for the challenge over at Frosted Designs. For the theme of the card I used the challenges over at
Papertake Weekly, Canadian Nickel Scrap'n, and Stampin for the Weekend. I used my Cuttlebug to cut out the tags and to emboss the background paper. I did the old fashion embossing to give my little fishie some scales. I was just playing around with the tags and writing on them to see how they would look. But when I tried to take the tags off it started to rip the background paper. My handwritting is terrible but it was either leave it as is or start all over and I wasn't going to do that!!

I followed the sketch over at ABC Design Blog.
