HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Laying in my bed on Sunday evening, my mind begins to started running with creative ideas, with Thanksgiving coming up, I decided to get up and make a card for my mother-in-law. The Cartridge used was Wild Card (2 different styles of leaves), Gypsy Font (Letter "B")  and Gypsy Wanderings(word grateful).

We all have alot to be grateful for not only for Thanksgiving but everyday.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

WELCOME HOME CARD

This is a Welcome Home Card that I created for my daughter, welcoming her home after her vacation. The cartridge used was Wild Card, I really love this cartridge because it is quick way to make a card it cuts the envelope & card for you.

Goodies from Michael's

I went to Michael's this weekend and I found some goodies, wooden block stamps just in time for the Christmas holidays. I have been debating on some stamps to get but just didn't see any I like but for the price of $1 sounds great to me, I'm gonna get some more to add to collection sometimes the stamps just don't have the sayings you want so instead of buying a stamp set with only one stamp that I like I tend to check this $1 bin out at Michaels.

INVITATIONS

Here's my first real project that I did for a friend, I had to do 30 invitations for her, boy was it a task and such a great experience it gave me the confidence to continue playing around with my cricut, with the experience the lesson learned was to do things differently the next time.

The cartridge used was Wild Card for card and envelope.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Here's a card I made for my husband for our 11th year Anniversary on Oct. 9. I got the idea from CraftJunkieToo. The Cartridge that was used was Indie Art and Wild Card. The paper came from Hobby Lobby. I was very impressed with the results, after I had made the card I saw at Michaels a border bunch with same design as the paper so that is a must have for me and I will probably later recreate the card and repost another picture.
