Something Sweet for My Pink Stamper Challenge

The challenge from My Pink Stamper was so create something super sweet. I could not put my hands on the pictures. ( big surprise there)But every year the nieces and nephew and I go to the local church and create Gingerbread houses. Lets face it, it's all about the candy and frosting so the base house is made from cardboard and we just do the fun part of decorating. Any way you get the idea. So I created this layout using the paper kit was was Part of the Club Ruby December kit. I used white embossing on the sweet memories title and it kind of looks like sticky frosting fingers. A pretty quick layout once I got going.

Hint hint. be cautious when using your gypsy to create a lay out. Using different thickness of paper on the same mat can sometime bear frustrating results. If you are using 2 different thicknesses of paper best to create a layer on and a layer 2 so that you have the opportunity to adjust pressure and blade depth. If you are still having problems perhaps it is time for a new blade. I Don't think we realize just how much we use out cricuts.

I used an older Creative Memories paper kit that I had. The tile came from the Thickers that were in one of the kits from Club Ruby. ( I had no O or i so I modified some other letters) I am surprised at how much use I was able to get from these lettes. I used some spare buttons I had around and some embroidery threads. I cut a slit in the paper and slid the photo in for an interesting modification. To make the paper stretch a little further I used Megan's Gravener'from Above Ruby Studios Technique of cutting and Pasting to get a 12 x 12 size. The paper was double sided so by doing this it gave me plenty of paper to use for matting my photos.
