"JOY" shaker card with Create a Critter




Got alot done this weekend. Christmas cards are finished, but not in the mail yet. ; )


Figured out what treats the boys want to make for their friends at school for Holiday parties and started on Christmas shopping. On to the card!




I have never made a "shaker" card, but I had to try it. The JOY is from Create a Critter and the "O" is filled with Martha Stewart micro beads.




I will have a couple of the other cards I made this weekend later this week, so be sure to check back. ; )

"Happy Halloween" LO with CRICUT MINI MONSTERS

























So, I went crazy with Mini Monsters! But I had soooo much fun getting this LO done yesterday. I had trouble at first, but then it came together well. I just didn't want to stop working on it until it was done. The paper is card stock and a designer pack from K&Company, I think. I used Mypinkstampers' "Spooky Puns" on the sign. I also used the card feature key to make the journal out the ghost. : ) lots of stickles on the house. inked edges with black and white.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks for looking.
Cricut Addicted and Happy about it!

THX card with Smiley Card Cart


Just could not wait to make something with this cart. How super cute is this card?
I went to Collinsville to visit my Mom and see her new house this weekend. I made a couple of cards like this and a couple of the "Thank Ewe" cards with the sheep from Create a Critter. I thought she could use them to send to her wonderful friends that helped her move and unpack.
I also got to visit a really nice scrapbook store while I was visiting called "Croppnsville".
I got a simple 12x12 LO finished too. Will get pics up soon. ; )
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Just Because Cards "I'm pulling for you"

I think this is my FAV of the cards from this cart that I have made so far. I have been so surprised how easy these cards have been to cut and put together. I didn't put much creativity into it, like change up the colors or use pattern paper, but I think it still turned out cute. I like having some ready to go when I need them.
Check back for my VERY cute Halloween Card. And hopefully this weekend I will get some pics posted of a very cute LO from my boys first roller coaster ride.
Thanks for stopping by.

Think PINK! Card

Quick Card! Not much to it, but I do LOVE butterflies! This cut is from the Cricut Cartridge Indie Art. This is a Standard A2 card. Brown paper is papertreyinc and pink is card stock from either Hobby Lobby or Michael's. Think Pink! is a stamp from My Pink Stampers' "Simply Sweet Occasions" stamp set.
I wanted to make a couple of "pink" cards for a couple of bloggers Monique and Brenda. So 1 complete and 1 more to go. ; )

Just Because Cards "You are my sunshine"

Probably not my FAV of the cards I made, but I love the phrase so I had to make a couple. Turned out okay, could use some "doodling" or something. ; ) Did get to test out the I-rock. Lucky for me my crafty friend Kerri let me try it out this past weekend. Something else on my wish list. lol

Will have one more card to post. So check back.

Here are some cute treat bags I made for work. I also made some with my boys for their friends at school. We made a good team. ; ) I'm already tired of seeing candy and its' not even Halloween yet!
I will get back to posting the other cards that I made at the Cricut swarm last weekend tomorrow.
I am also trying to get a couple of "pink" cards made. Mypinkstampers' and Creative Critters' blogs are having some great posts and giveaways this week and requesting cards for a couple of wonderful fellow bloggers.
My son had his last football game of the season tonight. He had a great game. I'm very proud of him. But glad I will have my evenings back for a while anyways. ; )

Just because Cards "You quack me up"


Here is one the cards I made this weekend at the cricut swarm I went to on Saturday in Norman at Whole Lotta Scrap. This was my second Swarm and I had a great time, met some great people, shopped and ate wonderful potato soup and taco soup. Thanks to Renee ("soonermt" on the cricut message board) for putting this together. She did an AWESOME job.


I did prepare ahead of time. I organized the cuts I needed in my gypsy, so I could make a couple of the same card. Cuts were made the night before and put together in kits. I made three other cards that I will post soon. Stay tuned!


Also, finished up the treat bags for Thursday at work. I will post a pic of those soon too. ; )


Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Thanks

Just Because Cards "You take the CAKE"

First project making envelope and card from Just Because Cards. Thankfully I had helpful hints from other bloggers. SERIOUSLY! No way would I have known to cut envelope first as big as possible and then all the cuts of the card. Envelope is cut at 6.75in. It helped me to layout everything on my Gypsy. It really came together rather quick. ; )

Already thinking of another project with this cart. LOVE it!

Have most of the Halloween treat bags made with the help of my boys. ; ) nice quality time and team work. Still have some to finish for work.

Have to get organized and figure out what I want to work on next Saturday. I'm going to a Cricut Swarm in Norman. This is my second swarm and I'm pretty excited. It should be really fun. ; )

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Small treat bags with PeachyKeenStamps, and MY PINK STAMPERs' "SPOOKY PUNS"


So, I'm trying to figure out my plan for treat bags for Halloween. I had fun playing with my new stamp sets from Peachy Keen Stamps (Monster Mash face assortment) and My Pink Stampers' "Spooky Puns". I do know they are ONLY treat bags and with 5 and 7 year old boys and girls that it will be torn to shreds immediately, but I'm sure when I make them in bulk they will be much more simple design. : )
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Hunting season is here, which is not usually a fun time of year for me. My husbands' "so called" hobby usually leaves him with a grumpy attitude and MAJOR allergy problems and he won't take medicine. Which annoys me. MEN! lol
Thanks for visiting!

Birthday card for my brother




Well I just HAD to have Mini Monsters after I saw the card feature. I have been trying to think of a card to make for brothers' birthday on the 14th and when I was browsing my Gypsy I found this very cute frog! Ever have things that remind of certain people. I know its silly but frogs remind me of my brother. No, he doesn't look like a frog! lol But my mom has this cool picture of when my brother was young sitting in a neighbors backyard and a very cute garden cement frog was next to him. We also had alot of frogs' in our backyard swimming pool, so we were always having to get them out and we would laugh while watching our dog play with them.




Okay so he probably won't think it's "CUTE", but I do. ; )

Stop by tomorrow and see what I'm working on with my new MY PINK STAMPER stamp set "SPOOKY PUNS" . . . . .

Thanks for stopping by!

THE Baby Shower!!!!!!

Okay so today I hosted a baby shower for a very good friend who is having her 3rd Boy. I had posted a pic of the invitations awhile back. So I went crazy with the Theme: Brown and Blue with MONKEYS!!

I do have to thank all the bloggers for all their time and effort posting videos, pics, tips and tricks. This is for sure the only way I was able to make everything for this shower. You can see all the blogs I follow on the lower left. I have been following a few of my favorite blogs for over a year now and have learned soooooooo much. (MYPINKSTAMPER (my fav), EVERYDAYCRICUT, COURTNEY LANE DESIGNS, OBSESSED WITH SCRAPBOOKING just to name a few) ; )

Okay on to the pics. I have to say I think I went overboard with a lot of "first" projects here, but I had a blast and for sure with be doing some of these projects again.

My first vinyl project on my storm door was pretty much a breeze. Designed on my gypsy of course! Now the new 12x24 mat, a different story. I forgot to make my mat a little less sticky. OOPS! oh well! ; )

My first Diaper Cake was interesting since I have never seen one in real life. Thanks YOUTUBE. My friend Kerri helped with the phrase cutts from the nursery ryhmes cart. Thanks Kerri! Have to say turned out pretty cute!

My first Banner. This wasn't planned. I was waiting on the phrase cutts on the Diaper Cake, so I decided to use the leftover ribbon and charms to make the banner.

My first pillow box favors. I had seen a post over at http://mypinkstamper.com where she made some favors with the cute clear pillow boxes from clearbags.com. Well I ordered some, but I didn't order the size I needed for another project so I used them for babyshower favors instead and they worked out GREAT. Especially with that VERY CUTE stamp from Everyday Occasions stamp set by MYPINKSTAMPER!

Okay so on with the pics. Did I already say that? sorry! ; )
Enjoy! If you have any questions about my projects please let me know. I'd be happy to share the details. Leave me a comment and let me know what you think. ; )

L.I.D. Challenge LO and Invitations







Love the sketch this week. Just got it finished. Lucky for me, I got a delivery from FedX! PINK ATG! LOVE IT! I also put in a picture of the invitations I made for my sons' 5th birthday party coming up. Have to say I think they are pretty CUTE! The alligator was a little hard to layer, but it was worth it. Plus I only had to make 10. Check back later this weekend because I hope to post some pictures of the baby shower invitation I am working on. ; )
