Smile Card



Here is the card I made for one of Zach's teachers. She has been out for a while with an illness. We've been sending cards, and this one is my favorite so far. I love the colors. It is from last years DCWV Summer Stack. I am going to have to find it somewhere because it is my fav and it is going pretty quickly. The cartridge used it Everyday Pop Up Cards. I am not thrilled with the pop up parts but love the other artwork with it.

Here is the layout I did for our camping trip we took last July. It was so stinking hot. We only stayed one day, but had a blast. We went with friends and the kids had so much fun! When we go this year we will so be taking some water-balloons! I love my little trees. I cut everything with my cricut. I love that machine! It saves me so much money.

Easter Center Piece


Here is the Easter table centerpiece that I made. I used a bunch of different cartridges. I think it turned out great. the little white one Josh made in Sunday School. I think it all looks great! I also made the little boxes and filled them with jelly beans.

Birthday Party

Here are the props for my daughter's birthday party. The purses will hold the make up they used while at the party, some jewelry and some fun treats. The wands were just fun and the large tiara will go around a small cake. I love the cupcake holders. They will just tie everything in. I don't know why I love the pink and gold together I just do. There will be a little boy so I made a knights mask and chest plate. He will be fighting a 'dragon' (my husband) to save the princesses while they get ready for the ball.

Princess Invitations


Here are the invitations I made for my daughters birthday party. She wanted to have a debutante ball, so we are going with a princess party. The girls will dress up and put make up on and get their nails painted and dance the afternoon away. We are going to have little tea sandwiches and other snacks, plus mini cupcakes for desert! It is going to be a blast!

Easter Card

Here are the cards I made for Easter. I had so much fun doing them. I have found that I can manipulate sketches. I don't have to put dots, I can use little bunnies. I don't know what I would do without my Cricut!

Iris Folding


I recently tried iris folding and though it is a little time consuming, it is really fun. I love the look it gives.

Card Sets




Here are two of the four card sets I am making for teachers. So far, I am really pleased with the way they are coming together. I am going to get a nice box and decorate that to match the cards.

Class Projects


Here is the cover that I did for my son's kindergarten class. They are doing a writing book with the alphabet and different silly bugs. They are practicing letter formations and then writing "C is for the Cactus Bug" and stuff like that. I made just a few of the bugs. Pictured are the Kite Bug, Tomato Bug, Mushroom Bug, Cactus Bug, and Flower Bug. I made one cover and then color copied it. His teacher was very pleased.

Hubby B-day Card


Here is a card that I made for my husband. He is so not into glitz and stuff. This was the best that I could do. I think it came out pretty nice.

Valentines for Teachers


Here are the gifts for the teachers. I stamped the envelopes and I love the way they turned out. I wrapped a king size chocolate bar in paper and cut the tag using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More cartridge. I think they came out pretty nice.

Valentines for Nieces



Here are the valentines for my nieces. The one with the zebra is for my 11 yr old niece. Her favorite color is purple and for her birthday party she had bags with zebra print fabric and purple handles. So I played off of that. My other niece is 15 and I didn't want to make anything to childish or grown up, so this is what I came up with. I am pretty happy with the way they both came out.

Teacher Valentine Cards


So I have really been on the ball with cards this year. I got the Christmas ones out on time and I made special teacher ones even. I have just finished the Valentines cards for teachers and just had to share. They came out pretty good. I also have pics of ones that I did for my nieces that I will post later.
