Smile! It's a FCCB Challenge!

Monday, August 9, 2010
First of all, I apologize for my absence.  Within hours of submitting my last paper, we headed out the door and began our summer holidays.  We've been to Ottawa, camping at Emily Provincial Park, and are now in Florida (at least I hope we are - this is a pre-scheduled post!).  After Disney, we'll be doing some more camping back in Canada and I should be home by late August.  I'll have lots of catching up to do!
This week at Fantabulous Cricut, the challenge is to create a project using the word smile.  As soon as I heard the challenge, I pictured this crazy dog from Paper Pups!  I used Design Studio to hide some contours and cut the image three times - once in white (for those teeth) and then in two different browns.  I used some DCWV Pet Stack paper, some Stampin'Up paper, and some regular cardstock too, which I punched with an EK Success border punch.  I also added a brad that seemed to fit the theme quite nicely.
The inside of the card was done using George and Basic Shapes with Cuttin' Up.  It's one of the first cuts I ever created with Design Studio - and I have saved it all this time.  I'm so glad I did, as all I had to do was add paper to the mat!

I hope to see you all playing along at FCCB this week!  By the way, have any of you noticed the date today?  It's 8-9-10!

I really like your card! I was wondering if you could explain to me how you designed the inside of the card. I have just started using my Design Studio and am racking my brain to figure out how you made those cuts!!
Thanks....
