MPS Cricut Imagine Challenge

Hey all! I was sitting at my desk last night thinking "How could I let a night go by without crafting Yeah like that can happen right?  So I thought to myself.. Self, Robyn over at My Pink Stamper has a Cricut Imagine Challenge going on! And since I don't have that many Imagine carts my mind got to smoking thinkin and I remembered I had to still scrap about my DD's "Think it Over" weekend. So I grabbed my Nursery Tails cart and realized I hadn't upgraded my Imagine yet! Please don't turn me in to the Crafters Police for not being on the ball with up to date toys! So I had to update it first but all my worries were for nothing, cause it updated without a glitch  so easily!
I printed the pattern paper with the butterflies and sun's on it and used my new EDGE TO EDGE 12x12 option! I knew they could do it!
I used stickles on the butterflies and dragon flies to make them pop off of the page a bit (Diamond ones of course so I wouldn't lose the awesome color the prints already were). The on one of the Sun's I almost used stickles as well but decided I wanted to Glossy accent it up! I think my hand is still cramping from holding and squeezing my bottle of Glossy Accents so long). I LOVE how it turned out! It brought the color of the sun out even better than I could even imagine!
I cut the "Its a Boy" at size 3 inches and decided it needed a mat so I cut a mat at 3.3. The Frog & birdie on this cut are layered up to pop them off of the page too. I used Helmar Zapdots for the frog since they are so the right size for making things look dimensional! I used the clear ones by the way.  T
The mat's for the pictures are cut out at the same size as the sentiment but I did't pop them off of the page as much as the sentiment. I used some nice sheer ribbon I got from Michael's to embellish the circles with. The photo mats have a fastenator staple on each. One says Baby and the other says Boy.
I don't have pictures on the mat's yet as I want to print them at the store since my printer is almost out of ink. When it gets that way it doesn't print photo's very well.
I hope you enjoy the page...

My Pink Stamper Challenge - Bird Cards

This challenge is officially MANY of firsts for me!
1. My 1st card made from my Imagine
2. My 1st time doing an actual Challenge
3. My first time using some of my new tools (Ok, so I got more than just the Imagine from HSN!)

I could go on but you get the idea! I wasn't going to start this tonight but I instinctively heard my Imagine calling my name - my daughter says "It was your Imagination" and I was like "EXACTLY"! 

So the first picture is actually of the 2nd card I made because I liked the card so much I had to make another one! You can see suttle differences in them if you look hard enough.

Hope you enjoy!
