Be Mine - Banner

Hello - 

I hope everyone is doing great.  I am feeling a bit under the weather today.  I made a banner last weekend before I caught this cold.  Since I can't do much else today I thought I would share a picture of it with all of you. 

It was my first banner attempt and a little difficult to photograph.  I like it but don't really have a great place to put it so I am going to send it to school with my daughter for one of her teachers to hang in their classroom. 

Supplies:  Cardstock (The Paper Co. & American Crafts), Stickles (Ranger), Crop-o-dile & Eyelets (We R Memory Keepers), Ribbon (CTMH), Cricut, Gypsy, Celebrate with Flourish, Chic & Scary, MS Seasonal Cake Cart & Storybook cartridges(Provo Craft).

Autumn Layout

Hello everyone- 

Today I wanted to share an Autumn layout I made.  I can't wait to develop a few photos to put on here.  

I used Gypsy Wanderings and Celebrate with Flourish.  I wrapped some twine around the leaves for some added texture.

Supplies:  Cardstock (American Crafts & Cloud 9 Designs), Cricut, Gypsy, Gypsy Wanderings & Celebrate with Flourish (Provo Craft), Stickles (Ranger), Twine (CTMH) & Dimensionals (Stampin Up!)

MPS Challenges #7-9

Whew - I can't believe I have 9 challenges done!  How is everyone else doing?

Challenge #7 - Make a scrapbook page.  I just got my daughter's spring photos back from school so that will get put on this layout I made for the challenge.

Supplies: Cardstock (Stampin Up! & DCWV), Marker (CTMH), Cricut, Gypsy, Gypsy Font & Mini Monograms cartridges (Provo Craft), Stickles (Ranger), Corner Rounder (EK Success).

Challenge #8 - Summer Themed Project.  I made a Father's Day card.

Supplies: Cardstock (CTMH & MME), Cricut & Celebrate with Flourish cartridge (Provo Craft), Corner Rounder (EK Success).

Challenge #9  - Use Glitz, Glam and Glitter.  This cat from the Paisley cartridge just screams bling queen.  The frame is actually from Winter Woodland.

Supplies: Cardstock & Ink (CTMH), Stamp (My Pink Stamper), Stickles (Ranger), Cricut, Gypsy, Paisley & Winter Woodland cartridges (Provo Craft), Corner Rounder (EK Success).

Thanks for looking.  I would love to see your comments!

Happy Birthday Day Dad

Ok - so this post is a little after your birthday but I didn't want to display your card early.   ;)

This little birthday card is made using cardstock from American Crafts and I used my new favorite cartridge, Celebrate with Flourish.  I also used my long time favorite Swiss Dots cuttlebug embossing folder.  The envelope is one from a pack I bought at office max and I embossed the envelope flap.

Supplies: CS: American Crafts, Envelope: Ascend from Office Max, Swiss Dots embossing folder, Cricut and Celebrate with Flourish Cartridge.

Sunny Day

Wow, I can't believe it's July 1st already. Summer is flying by! Today I am sharing with you a 12"x12" layout featuring a new Cricut Lite cartridge called Celebrate with Flourish. The Cricut Lite Cartridges are exclusively sold at Wal-Mart. This one was my first purchase. I just loved the layering and all the different holidays & seasons. I will be adding a photo to the lower right side later. I think this may be the first time I have done a layout ahead of time.

Recipe: Cricut, Cricut Lite Cartridge; Celebrate with Flourish, American Crafts Textured Cardstock, ATG 714, Scotch 2-way Glue.
