I MADE THIS CARD FOR A FRIENDS ANNIVERSARY. MY NEW ADDICTION SEEMS TO BE DIGI STAMPS. WELL.......ALONG THE WAY I STUMBLED UPON A WEBSITE THAT'S ACTUALLY A COLORING SITE FOR KIDS. THEY HAVE TONS OF COLORING PAGES THAT CAN EASILY BE RESIZED AND COLORED LIKE DIGI STAMPS. ANYWAY, THAT'S WHAT I DID. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PRECIOUS MOMENTS IMAGES ON THE SITE AS WELL. I CUT "LOVE" WITH MY CRICUT. A SILVER ORGANZA RIBBON ON THE TOP RIGHT AND 3 SMALL PEARLS ON THE BOTTOM LEFT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I FOUND MANY OTHER IMAGES TO MAKE CARDS WITH. THEY WILL BE POPPING UP ON MY BLOG SOON. SORRY THE IMAGE IS A LITTLE HAZY. MY BATTERY IN MY CAMERA SO I HAD TO USE MY PHONE.

Happy 1st Birthday

Mom asked me to make a card for a little girl who was turning one. This is what I came up with. I love the girly paper base. The "one" and "1" were cut with my cricut. You gotta love pink and brown together. They go together like chocolate and peanut butter, cookies and milk, pizza and...... You get the idea :-)

Forever.......

This was a technique challenge on splitcoast. Something different. I used the stampin up emboss folder for this one. Forever is cut out using my cricut. The butterflies are ..... again.....Martha Stewart punch. I know, I know, enough with the butterflies already. Sorry, I have some kind of obsession. Yes, I used the rhinestones on the center of the butterflies. Colored with prisma pencils and Gamsol.

The WOW card pattern

The perfect WOW! card. I love this tri-shutter card pattern. It's perfect for a gift card holder. The middle piece fits a gift card perfectly! It's soooo fun to create this card. All the panels make it very interesting. Love these motor cross stickers! How perfect for a 13 year old boy. I'm really happy with this way this one turned out. The colors are so vibrant. The 13 was cut with my cricut. I got the pattern directions for this design at Splitcoast.

Thanks Coach!

YES, IT'S A CARD!! I found this template on splitcoast. How cute is it!! My son is on the Cubs Cal Ripkin Jr. little league team. The season is over and the coach is having a BBQ at his house tomorrow. I made this card for him. I sponged the whole thing with blue ink to give it a realistic look. I cut the brim out a second time and double layered it. This also helped make it look more 3D. The "C" was cut out with my cricut keystone cartridge. I love how it turned out. I found the template for this here.

Flower Pot

This was found on....where else.....splitcoast
You pull up on the flowers to reveal a small card tucked in the pot for writing on. It fits into a standard invitation envelope. The flowers were cut using my cricut doodlecharm cartridge. The dragonfly is a brad. Would make a cute invitation for a bridal shower or birthday.

Pets leave paw prints on your heart

Sadly we had to say "Goodbye" to our beloved dog, Phoebe this week. The house just isn't the same without her!! The vet that we have is fabulous. I brought them some chocolate and this card. It says "Pets leave paw prints on our hearts" The small card went with a framed poem for the vet himself which unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of. The dog was cut using my cricut (doodlecharms). It's difficult to tell in the picture but the red paper behind the dog is embossed with the cuttlebug (paw prints).

GRADUATION CARD - GIFT BOX

Looks like a graduation cap at first glance. But... it's actually a gift box just perfect for a gift of money or a gift card. I loved the look of the top of the cap but I wanted to make it a bit more 3D - so I added a box to the bottom. The little piece that says celebrate flips up and the box opens . I got the tassels at Michaels and the Superior High School Spartans paper at the local scrapbook store. Perfect to hold the check for my little cousins graduation gift. The "Class of 2009" was cut with my cricut.

Birthday wish

Another card with my cuttlebug. Embossing is on vellum on the bottom part of card. The wish is from the wild card cricut cartridge.

I missed your wedding

One of my co-workers asked me to make a card for a wedding that she missed because she had to work. This is what I came up with. The stamp is Stampin Up. The frame with circle in the middle is made on my cricut.
