Spring Layout

Add caption

It's spring! Yay, I love spring!!  I just took a picture of the granddaughters looking oh so cute in their spring matching dresses. (To bad they were running all over the yard and ignoring me so I didn't get a cute photo for this!) Lol. In this layout I used Gypsy Wanderings for the bunny.  Storybook for the scalloped oval that I adjusted in my Gypsy. And A Child's Year for Spring.  The paper is K & Co, that I picked up a few years ago at Tuesday Mornings for  $1.99 for the whole stack!!  They had quite a few different stacks. And yes I did kick myself several times since for not stocking up on the stacks they had that day.  I have went back several times since then and have never again found such good deals. I also did some machine sewing on the mats.  Thanks for looking and wish me luck getting those 2 little girls to hold still long enough for me to snap a pic!

Valentine from past

Ok, I have no idea why this pic will not rotate : (  This is a card I made for my youngest daughter last Valentine's Day. I used several different Cricut carts for the fonts.

Holiday Recipe Album

Since it was marathon baking day around here I thought I would add they cute recipe albums I made.  These were inspired by Mary at cardztv.  Here is her link. http://cardztv.blogspot.com/2010/12/holiday-cookbook-album-part-3.html     I made the top one for myself and the bottom album I gave to my mom.  I used Plantin Schoolbook for the font and welded them together using my gypsy. Storybook for the scalloped square on the front of the album. To make the tab pages I used a rectangle from George and welded a scalloped square from Storybook. Thanks for looking and have a great Holiday!!

National Card Making Day

Today is National Card Making Day :)  So here is what I came up with.  It is nothing fancy and was super quick to make.  It seems that the last several cards I have made has been quick and simple.  I guess that's because I don't have time to spend when I need a card.  Maybe when I do have more time to work on projects  I should stock pile some up.  Just a thought.  Anyhoo, my grandpa has a birthday this week and this is for him.

Stationery Box

                                     

 I made my first Stationery Box tonight.  It was super easy.  The hardest part was picking out the paper!

I made four A2 sized cards. Four 3x3 note cards and six tags. I used Tags, Bags,Boxes and More for the tags. And Storybook for the scalloped ovals. The lace is a Martha Stewart punch I picked up at Marshall's for $5.99. I found the instructions for this box here:

Altered Paint Can

I bought several of these little paint cans for .30 at our bargain center. I think they are a cute way to give money or treats.

Desk Calendar

I have made several of these before but I needed a black and white one for the office.  The paper is DCWV La Creme stack.  I love that paper.(and yes, I always say I love patterned paper. It's AWESOME!!)  I didn't take a picture of the back but I used some of the flocked paper on the back. I used the Cricut Storybook cart to cut out the letters and numbers. And the put it all together with my Bind it All.

Tonight my youngest daughter was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society!  Way to go Bro! Anyway I wanted to make her something other than a card so I put together this candy bar wrapper.  I used paper from a K&Co paper pack that I picked up from Tuesday Morning for $1.99. It is double sided paper. I love it! I only wish I would have bought more.

I made this centerpiece for my youngest daughters 13th birthday party. I used my cricut and the storybook cartridge. She had a twilight party so the decorations were red and black.

As soon as I seen a post on the cricut message board by WhatAreWe...Nuts? I knew I had to make one.. or two!
