Birthday Sundaes Challenge #13

Hi friends! I decided to enter this card in the Birthday Sundaes Challenge. The challenge is to make a birthday card using wet or dry embossing. I used the Cuttlebug embossing folder "Happy Birthday" Duh! The ice cream cone is of course from Create A Critter cartridge, probably everyone's favorite! I used glitter paper for the words, paper from my stash, some pearls, ribbon and a border punch from Recollections. (don't know the name) This was made for an elderly woman I know that turned 90! This was her favorite card that she recieved. It feels good to make someone's day doing something that we love to do....Have a great day.

Happy Cruise!

Hi friends, Happy Tuesday! It's Friday for me, yepee... Well, here is the card I made for my 78 year old mother in law. She is going on her first cruise to Alaska in a few days. You don't get the opportunity to make a "cruise" card very often, so I knew I wanted to do one for her. She is the best mother in law a person could have. I used the Life Is A Beach cartridge for the ship, a stamp from Michaels for the "Bon Voyage" which I embossed with dark gray embossing powder. I used flat Metal Dots for the windows, a gel pen for the stitching and paper from my stash. The waves are from paper I had, I simply cut out the "waves"! I think it turned out really cute, I know that she will love it. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Cricut Card Challenge #78-WeddingCard

I entered this card in the CCC#78-Wedding Card! My card didn't turn out as I had it pictured in my mind, but it's ok. I tried a little glitter, and some heat embossing on the groom! Need more practice for sure. I used Cricut Cartridge Stretch Your Imagination, what a delicate cut this was, I had to buy a new needle for my Cricut. I wore the old one out. lol Have a blessed day and thanks for stopping by.

Cricut Dust Cover

Hi everyone, my friend Jessica, over at cricutafterdark asked if I would post a picture of my dust cover that I recently made for my Cricut Expressions. So here it is! I used some scrap material I got from my mom and added a fabric strip in the middle and some large rick rack. I think it turned out really well, and it keeps my Cricut clean and decorated at the same time. Hope everyone had a great day. It is VERY hot here in Arkansas, we even broke a record today, 99! Hope thats not a sign of what the summer holds for us. Until next time. Have a blessed day.

Cute Critter Challenge

Hi everyone, I made this card for My Craft Spot Challenge-Cute Critter! I think my little frog turned out so cute. He's ready for blogger friends to "jump over to my pad" and check my blog out. Have a blessed day! I'm off to work...
