LOTS TO SHARE!

I've had so much going on lately that I haven't had enough time to fit in my crafting. Over the last couple of weeks I started catching up on my card making. Here are some projects I'd like to share :)

This Thank you card and brownie treat bag I made for my supervisor at work just to let her know that I appreciate her :)

I made these Halloween Cards today using the Pumpkin Carving Cricut Cartridge. The smaller cards are 4.25 x 4.25in and the other is a basic size.

These cute little cards I made for my twin neices who are turning ONE this weekend :) I used the New Arrival Cartridge for the elephant and flower cut outs.

These are just misc cards I made to have on hand. The cut out of the couple is from the Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge.

Thanks for checking them out!! :)

Baby Boy Scrapbook Pages

I started working on a scrapbook for my new nephew over the weekend. I'm leaving them blank so my sister in law can fill in with her pictures. These are the three I did so far.

The train was cut with the New Arrival Cartridge on a 12x12 card stock set at fit to page. I welded "precious cargo" with the Design Studio and the Simply Sweet Cartridge.

"Its a boy" was cut at 1.5inches also with the New Arrival Cartridge.

I love this tub! I set it at fit to page on a 12x12 card stock. Everything was cut with New Arrival. The duckies were 1 and .75 inches, bath time was cut at 2.5inches

Easter Treat Bags

I made these treat bags for my girls at work for Easter. The bunny was cut with the New Arrival Cricut Cartridge. I made the stamp with my Teresa Collins Stamp Maker; the stamp was a free negative download that she gives out each month, you can find it here along with other free stamp downloads.

Happy Easter

Just a quick card I threw together because I wanted to use my new Teresa Collins Stamp Maker. I absolutely love it!! and can't believe I procrastinated so much on opening it! it was actually super easy to use and I didn't mess up on the first one!

Teresa Collins Stamp Maker

So I ordered the Teresa Collins Stamp Maker from HSN and it arrived almost two weeks ago... and I JUST opened it today. I think I'm just nervous of messing up, so I've been putting off opening it. Well no more slacking for me... it is now opened and I printed my first negative. I'm about to make my first stamp now. WISH ME LUCK!!

Bridal Invites

My step brother is getting married this summer, and my family asked me to make the invitations for my soon to be sister-in-law's bridal shower. I'm very happy with the turn out :)

 I used the "Sweethearts" Cartridge to cut the wedding dress. I the invite is A2 size. I used pop dots behind the dress and typed the invite out on Word and printed on some white cardstock.

Cakes, Cakes, Cakes!

Since I'm going post crazy, why not share some cakes I've made :) I'm definitely an amateur at cakes, so be nice :)

WOW I've been slacking!

After putting the scrapbook pages up, I realized it didn't post my St. Patty's Treat Bags either!! I made these bags for my girls at work. I made the candy inside also.

I didn't have a stamp handy so I typed 'Happy Shamrock Day' on my comp and printed on some cardstock.

I got these cute little buckets for my family and filled them with chocholate covered pretzels that I made.

Couple More Pages

Last week was hectic so I didn't have time to post these new pages I made for my daughters 2+ scrapbook. 

I love scrapbooking, but boy does it make you sad looking back at old pics and seeing how much she's grown. She'll be three in July, but I swear there's a teenager trapped inside! LOL

My husband found me the "Simply Sweet" Cartridge for only $20 at Big Lots so I couln't wait to bust it out. I used it for the fonts in all three pages and welded them with Design Studio. The cute swiggly design is from Accent Essentials. I welded four together at a right angle.

 

Another Simply Sunday Challenge!!

I'm so proud of myself being so productive this weekend!! I got so much crafting done!! Here's another Challenge I did for K Andrew's Simply Sunday Challenge at Getting Cricky. The Challenge was to make any project with a Butterfly or Winged Thing theme--use any supplies you desire

My Aunt has been in the hospital for a couple of days now with a kidney infection :( My daughter and I made her cards this afternoon wishing her well and letting her know that we are thinking of her!! I can't even imagine..

I got all kinds of new ribbon earlier in the week at my local craft store, so I was pretty excited to put it to use! I also got a few stamps, one being 'thinking of you' ..at 40% off!!

Both of these cards are basic A2 size. The 'thinking of you' in my second card was cut with the George Cartridge at 2 inches. And then I added some glitter glue so it wasn't so blah.

 

These cards were kinda speedily put together because we were running late for dinner at my mothers. (nothing new lol) But I know my Aunt will be very happy to receive these. 

I hope you guys enjoy & thanks for stopping by :)

Sketch 229

I made this scrapbook page for the PencilLine's 229 layout. If you'd like to see the blog that I got this layout from its here :) Shown below are the two loves of my life, my husband and our daughter!! This picture was taken last summer at the creek nearby our house. Our daughter, Lissy, really is a daddy's girl!!

I cut the circle out at 8 inches with the George Cartridge. I cut the flowery things out with Accent Essentials ranging from 1 - 2 inches. DADDY'S GIRL was welded and cut with the Cricut Design Studio software and the font is from 'Opposites Attract'.

I'm not very good at getting the lighting right to take pictures of my projects. If anyone has any tips, I would love to hear them! :)

Thanks for stopping by!! :)

K Andrew's Simply Sunday Challenge

We only get every other weekend off at my job and this weekend I'm off! So i thought i would participate in a few challenges. This post is for the challenge from Getting Cricky's blog. The Challenge is to make any project with a Sugar & Spice theme--use any cartridge or supplies you desire.

I decided to make a scrapbook page for my daughter's 0-1yr book. I'm working on 1-2yrs now, but i have hundreds of cute little pictures still that I wanna use. So this pic is of her at my cousins wedding. She was just shy of a year old in the pic. She's gonna be 3 this summer, so it's really sad seeing her all cute and little!!

I used the Accent Essentials Cartridge to make the cute out behind the picture and the poem. I cut it to fit to page on my 12x12 card stock. I thought it would be bigger, but this is what it gave me lol. I cut the picutre just under 4x4 inches. Then I mounted it on 4.5x 4.5inch pink card stock.

I typed this poem in Microsoft Word and added some color, then printed it on pink card stock.

I used my Cricut Design Studio to weld together *Sugar & Spice* using the Plantin Schoolbook Cartridge.

 

Hope you guys like my project :) Have a grrreat day!! :)

Robyn's Challenge

 My step mom called me today to let me know one of my sister in laws will be having her baby anytime now. So i thought it would be nice to make her a little basket for the hospital with things for the Mommy-To-Be. I also made a card for my new nephew, & a card for my brother and sister in law to congratulate them.

 I cut a two 4 inch circles & welded them together with the Cricut Design Studio. I Cut the cute monkey out at 3.5 inches with the New Arrival Cartridge. I used my Gelly Roll pen in white to make the stitching & added these cute lil googily eyes.

 Inside i cut two circles out at 3.75 inches with the darker green. The New arrival was cut out with the New Arrival Cartridge. 

 

I got this cute ribbon from my Arbonne that I ordered the other day & thought I would save it for a card.  Conveniently, a day later, I had something to make with it!

 I like this little storker! it's so cute. So I added it to the inside of my card.

Here are both of my cards!

 Then I picked up some things I thought Lisa might want and/or need at the hospital. :)
