Final Pages for the Wedding Album

Hello -

Whew...I am done and I finished the album before the shower!  I was a little worried I'd run out of time.  Here are the last 3 two page layouts.  I really liked using the DCWV formal affair for the album but I started to run out of paper's so I decided to make some backgrounds the the Cricut.  I used both the positive and the negative of these background cuts.

Supplies: Cardstock (Bazzill, DCWV & Core'dinations), Cricut,, Embossing Folder, Art Philosophy, Wrap it Up, Winter Woodland & Sophisticated (Provo Craft) Tulle (Wilton), Ribbon (Offray) Epoxy Sticker (Cloud 9 Designs) & Stickles (Ranger).

Supplies: Cardstock (DCWV & Core'dinations), Cricut, Embossing Folder, Art Philosophy, & Elegant Cakes (Provo Craft) & Stickles (Ranger).

MPS Christmas Card Challenge

Hello Everyone - 

I thought I would take a little break in my Halloween Series to participate in My Pink Stamper's Christmas Card Challenge.  I just got Jolly Holidays last month from Cricut.com.  I had not idea they had that online and have been supper bummed since last year when it sold out at Wal-Mart.  I must have been living in a cave not to know it was there but luckily I got my order in and now I am so excited to make lots of Christmas Cards this year.

Supplies:  Cardstock (The Paper Co.), Tinsel & Demensionals (Stampin Up!), Stickles (Ranger), Cricut, Cuttle Bug, Jolly Holidays, D'vine Swirls & Snowflakes embossing folder (Provo Craft).

I will be back to Halloween soon.  I have some more cards and a 2 page layout I am putting the finishing touches on.

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.

Fall Thanks

Everyone is back to school and that means autumn is around the corner.  Fall is my all time favorite season.  I love the cool temps and the changing leaves.  That is why when I got The Stamps of Life's Trees2Build set I had to make an autumn tree.  While this set come with some cute leaves I just had to bring out my Thank2Fall set and use those leaves.  The grass is from the Eggs4Easter set.  Stephanie Barnard is really great about making coordinating sets.  I used my cuttlebug to emboss the brown cardstock with the Forest Branches embossing folder.  Also just a side note, when I put my tree on my block I made the branches a little wavy to give them a more realistic look.  I hope you like it.  :)

Supplies: Cardstock & Ink: CTMH, Stamps: The Stamps of Life, Embossing Folder: Provo Craft.

Eat Cake & Celebrate!

Hi everyone,

I had a really relaxing Sunday afternoon at the park. My little cousin turned 2. Thanks to some thunderstorms this morning it was pretty cool & breezy at the park making it a perfect afternoon outdoors. While I forgot to take a pick of his actual card I did have a pic of one I made a couple of weeks ago. I could make birthday cards all day long if my schedule permitted. I also happen to think cupcakes are just the cutest thing to add to them. Don't forget to add a little stamped image to your envelopes. I think it adds a nice touch.


Supplies: All CTMH except stamps from Oriental Trading, Stickles and Cuttlebug embossing folder.

I'd love to hear from any readers so be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you think. ;)
