Christmas Card 4

So I saved what I think is the best card for last!! This is a 4.25 x 5.50 inch card. The little window is cut from the FREE cartridge we Gypsy users received from Provocraft. The little Elf is from the Stampendous Snowy Short Stacks Stampset. I stamped it on a white piece of cardstock and then colored it in. I then created a sandwich by placing an ivory color cardstock at the bottom, I adhered my little elf on that placed a piece of vellum paper on top of that and topped it off with the window. Then I just cut around the window to make the rest flush with the window frame. I cut the letters for the word "cold" at 1 inch using the Sesame Street Font Cricut Cartrige. Before I adhered my window and letters I used versamark ink for the snowflakes on the blue layer. Then I finished it up with a white gel pen for the sentiment and rounded the corners with the We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper. This was my favorite card! Thanks for looking and I hope you ENJOY! Have a GREAT BLACK FRIDAY!!!!!

Christmas Card 3

I can't believe how fast these holidays are coming. Thanksgiving seemed like it took longer to prepare for than how much time I got to spend with all of the family. I guess it was the house hopping we did so we had only a certain amount of time to be with each family but it was still FUN! Anyhow, here is card number 3. It is a 4 x 4 card. The snowman was cut using the Cricut Hello Kitty Greetings Cartridge. I think it came out soooo cute! It was cut at 3.20 inches using my Gypsy. The stamp is from Stampendous Snowy Short Stacks... I hope you Enjoy!

Christmas Card 2

Here is card 2. If I thought the last card was easy, this has to beat that one! All I did was cut out 1 inch circles with my Martha Stewart Circle Cutter and I added a small piece of brown cardstock to the back of each circle to make them look like ornaments. I used my versamark pen to draw the string and then embossed it and added some stickels to it. I used my We R Memory Keepers corner chomper to round the corners and a white gel pen to write in the sentiment. The way I wrote it is inspired from Kristina Werner, she makes awesome cards!! Her link is to the right of my blog if you have yet to see her work. .... I hope you enjoy thanks for stopping by...

Digital Card "Thank You"

Over at kwernerdesign.com Kristina has put up a great tutorial to make digital templates and then adding elements to create a digital card. This was the first time I have ever made one, so I wanted to thank Kristina for expanding my creativity in a new way! I used Adobe Photoshop CS3 and a free digital kit from Shabbyprincess.com. I hope you enjoy and have a great weekend!

End of School Project

Well my son is finishing his Kinder year this year and today is their end of school year party. I made these little candy cards for everyone in his class. The school mascot is an Owl and his school color is blue. The owl is from the Cricut Stamping Solutions Cartridge and the graduation hat is from the Locker Talk cartridge. This was super easy and fun to make! I hope you enjoy!!

Well there was a good sale at Michaels this past weekend and I bought myself a big book of designer paper by K&C Company. So many great patterns to choose from!

Stand and Salute Cartridge Scrapbook Page

Another thing I need to catch up on! My husbands military scrapbook. He retired from the army in 2008. Which was before I purchased my cricut, so now that I have one I need to make his book look better. Here is the first page I "upgraded." Very simple but better than the way it was. I hope you enjoy!

Teacher Appreciation

Where would our kids be without their wonderful teachers? My 6 year old is in kinder and his teacher is the best! So I made her this card to show her how much she is greatly appreciated! The layout is similar to a card made by Kwerner Design. I will post the card recipe later this evening.

It's a Ben 10 Party!

My sons 6th birthday party is coming up in 2 weeks and he wanted a Ben 10 party. So I put my cricut to use with the SCAL software and made some custom invitations. I modified the alien to work with SCAL. Making a whole bunch of the aliens was a bit of a pain but thanks to my cricut being able to multitask I got them done!
