Busy,busy,busy

Sorry I haven't been on posting more projects or even a little something else. But between a teething and sick 10 month old, I have been living off of maybe 2-3 hours of sleep for the past week. But thankfully this morning he woke and was smiling and giggling like his old self again. So I am hoping to get the pictures downloaded and to start back on my blog sometime today or at least this weekend. Just a quick post to update everyone. Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend.

Valentines Day Cards

I know its a little past Valentines day but I still wanted to showcase the cards I made for DH. Nothing fancy but were both made with the cricut.

The purple card is a gate fold card and the heart is cut using the Love Struck cartridge. I love all the intricate hearts on this cartridge. The card was actually inspired by a challenge that Robyn from http://www.mypinkstamper.com/ did at the end of January or the beginning of February. (can't remember exactly). Anyways the challenge was to create something using black and another color. So i choose purple it is my favorite color.

The monkey card is all cut using the Sweet Hearts cartridge. I love this monkey he is so cute. The saying is "I'm Bananas 4 You" . Hope you like it. Thanks for stopping by. Comments always welcomed.

Thank you Cards

Who says you need a cricut for creating beautiful cards. Both of these cards were created while I was waiting patiently for my replacement blades to arrive. See I live in a small town and the only store that carries Cricut and Provo Craft items is our local Wal-mart. Well needless to say when they are out of stock I have to rely on the many on-line stores I purchase from.

The flowers on both cards are from a Vellum flower kit by Cloud Nine, I was lucky enough to have stumbled upon them while browsing the local Big Lots. Hope you like them. Thanks for looking. Comments are always welcomed and appreciated.

Easel calendar cards

I got this idea from two people actually. The easel card part came from Dawn of http://dawnsstampingthoughts.net/. Check out all her wonderful You Tube videos. Then making it into a calendar card came from Lguild on the cricut message board, here is the link to the post that inspired these cards. http://www.cricut.com/messageboard/tm.aspx?m=6122830&mpage=1&key=&#6122830 . Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek at my paper crafting creations.

Altered Target Mailboxes

These are the 3 altered mailboxes I did for Valentines day. The paper I used is just some patterned paper I picked up in the $0.99 section of my local Target scrapbooking aisle. The ribbon is from Wal-mart. All the die cuts are from various cricut cartridges (honestly can't remember which ones) LOL. Oh and the BLING on each mailbox are little rhinestones from Colorbok, also picked up from the $0.99 section of Target. This project was so fun and easy, plus the receivers loved all the candy hiding inside. Thanks for stopping by.

Birthday cards

Here are a few birthday cards I have made using the cricut. The cupcakes were cut using the layer features of the cupcake card from the Wild Card cartridge. The pink and purple card's saying is also from the same cartridge. The pink card's saying is from the George and Basic Shapes cartridge. Oh and of course every card needs a lil "BLING". I used the Diamond Stickles for the icing on both cards. Hope you enjoy them as much as the little girls who received them did. Thanks for looking.

HSN Raspberry Cuttlebug

Yes I have to admit I was one of many ladies who took advantage of the wonderful bundle HSN put togeter for the exclusive Raspberry Cuttlebug. Also have to admit I have no idea what I did without it. I love my new cuttlebug and the butterfly design is an added bonus.
