OWH Sketch #189/FCCB

Hi there!  I've been busy today catching up on challenges and I couldn't pass up the Name that tune challenge at the FCCB blog.  With my musical family, I scrapbook many music pages so I really use the Quarter Note Cricut cartridge a lot!

 

Here's my card, based on OWH Sketch #189:

The eighth notes are from the Quarter Note cartridge; sentiment is Paper Trey Ink.  Paper?  Who knows!  I had it last year and I'm still using it up!

 

I turned the sketch on its side, but I like the original orientation too, so I may try it again that way:

 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great Sunday!

 

 

FCCB Challenge #160

At the end of every school year, the band Moms organize a band banquet.  I've made place cards for the Seniors every year to make their table special.  This year, I created a place card that's more like a small stand to display their name and instrument.  This is when my Quarter Note cartridge gets a real work out!

 

 I used shiny black paper for the base and holographic gold/white for the name.  The font is CK Gatsby, which is the theme of the banquet.  This is the front of the placecard:

 

And this is the other side:

Now I've got make 26 more!  I hope my Cricut doesn't burn out!

 

I'm entering my place card into this week's Fantabulous Cricut Challenge, which is #160 - Congratulations Graduate. 

Thanks for looking.

 



A musical thanks

I needed a thank you card to give to the nice lady who is accompanying my son in an audition and the card fits nicely into two challenges.  Over at the FCCB, their latest challenge to make something musical on a card.  With my musical family, I've really used the Quarter Note cartridge a lot (I think I've cut almost every image on it)! 

 

I cut the piano on page 46 at 2 inches and the phrase "perfectly executed" on page 36 at 1 1/2 inches.  The paper I used is from the Nov 2012 Simon Says Stamp Kit Just a Note and I put a piece of lace tape on the side as well.  Here's my card:

I'm also going to enter this card in Challenge #2 over at Paper Playtime, which is to use some brown.

 

Thanks for looking!



Band Banquet place cards

I used the Quarter Note cartridge to make place cards for our Senior students at the annual band banquet.  I cut the instrument and shadow for each student's instrument and used Stickles to 'bling' up their place card.  Here are the cards sitting on the welcome table as the students arrived:

I used an oval frame file and cut it using my SCAL2 software.  For the ovals with the names, I cut them out first on my Cricut and then ran them thru my printer using the Edwardian font.

The colorguard images came from Paolo's blogpost here;  colorguard silhouettes   I had to make SVG files of the more unusual instruments, like the bass clarinet and bassoon, but it was a lot of fun.  The seniors enjoyed getting a personalized name card.
