The long awaited teapot invitation!!

After months of teasing you all about it. After a long vacation ... and packing ... and moving ... and unpacking ... it's here! The teapot invitation! I made these for a friend's daughter's bridal shower (they had a tea party). The colors were a bold purple with lime green accents. When you pull up on the lid, the invitation is revealed! They also requested recipe cards so made those with teapot cutouts to match.

Materials Used:

• Textured purple cardstock
• Lime green cardstock
• White cardstock
• Lime green glitter
• Cricut Cartridge - Ashlyn's Alphabet
• Craft knife
• Carpet tape
• Glue

Camp Rock 2 Invitation

Hello all! I made this invitation for a Camp Rock 2 movie premier party we're having with my daughter and a few of her friends. We'll be roasting hot dogs and making s'mores. I've got a t-shirt making activity planned. I've also been casting various "camp" looking objects in resin to make pendants for the girls to turn into jewelry. Then, it's time to pitch a big tent in the living room, pop some popcorn and watch the movie! :P

Materials Used:

• Cricut cartridges: (Sentiment) Beyond Birthdays, (Owl) Give a Hoot
• Rock 'n Roll themed paper
• Black Cardstock
• Lime Green paper
• Bright blue Cardstock
• Brown paper scraps
• Yellow paper scraps
• Orange paper scraps
• Champagne paper scraps
• Googly eye
• Gold glitter
• Glue

One loooooooong vacation ...

... Then we moved! My scrap room is a mess! There are boxes everywhere and to make matters worse, I went from having a walk in closet to store all my stuff in to a normal non-walk in kind! Trying to figure out 1) Where to put everything and 2) where is it all!? If you ask my husband, he gives you the same answer, "In a box". LOL. He's too cute!

So, I haven't forgotten about this blog, I promise, I'm just recovering from a long vacation (was only supposed to be 2 weeks and it turned into 2 months somehow) and then my wonderful husband found a house and moved us while we were gone so, yes, it is all in a box somewhere! LOL. I have a few birthday parties coming up so I need to find all my stuff to make some cards and get them posted! I have this one idea for a fish bowl that I'm DYING to get done and show you guys! :D

To all you new comers out there, welcome! If I start getting more interest in the cards that I make, I'll post instructions as well. :)

Have a great day! I'm off to bed because the monkey has a whole new school schedule that we're both trying to get adjusted too! Night all!
