Give a hoot!

Hello out there! My friend and I went to a Cricut demo at Costco yesterday where they were having a GREAT deal on cartridges - three for the price of one! So, my most wonderful friend got the three carts that I've been wanting to have! Woo hoo! SCORE! Time for a cartridge swap! :D

I was playing with the Wild Cards cart and I made this totally cute little guy along with his envelope. Still not sure what to do with him, but he is sooo cute!!!

Materials Used:

• Cricut Cartridge - Wild Card (This card and envelope were made on 3.5 dial size)
• Brown textured cardstock
• Blue textured cardstock
• Green cardstock scrap
• Cream cardstock scrap
• White paper (for inside of card)
• Googly eyes
• Orange marker
• Glue

Greetings!

Hello out there in blogland! I'm still here. I've been really busy helping my good friend open up her new store and then they decided they wanted to enter this Dungeons and Dragons contest so we've been trying like crazy people to meet the deadline. Phew! We can totally start to see the light at the end of the tunnel, or, I guess in this case, the dungeon! LOL.

Good news! I have been asked to make wedding invitations!! Woo hoo! So, I will have a new invitation to post soon! Once I get all the mats together (and pricing), I will post one! I'm so excited! It's really going to be very pretty.

And, I haven't forgotten about the teapot one! That one is also coming up in May. I'm just waiting on my friend to get all the information to me (and the paper, the lady didn't like my purple and green idea, so, I told her to find me the paper she had in mind and I'd use that).

Have to run off now and take a skills test (I might have a part time job soon!) Fingers crossed!

Miss you all!

Cricut Bow

Top View

Side View

Hello all out there! My daughter is going to a sleepover birthday party tonight. I normally don't keep bows in my house because of my theiving cats (they always end up finding them!) so I usually end up making my own bows to match the wrapping paper. Here's one that I just finished and already put on the box (I know, I didn't even think to share it until afterwards! I'm so sorry). I used my Cricut to cut out the main part of the bow but all the rest is handmade.

Materials Used:

• Cricut Cartridge - George and Basic Shapes
• Leftover paper
• Scissors
• Glue
• Pencil

Dragonflies Baby Registry Card

Hi all. Normally, I like to print the baby registry information on the inside of the card because the little inserts get lost too easily, but I just couldn't resist making these little guys for my sister. I've blacked out her information to protect her privacy, but you still get the idea.

Materials Used:

• White Cardstock
• Cricut Cartridge - Pagoda
• Powder Puff Chalking Inks - Amaretto, Green Tea
• Double-sided tape

Dragonflies Baby Shower Card

This is what I'm proposing to send to my sister as her Baby Shower invites. She's having another girl and her bedding is going to have all these sage and brown dragonflies on them so, I came up with this gem. It's very similar to the dragon one with the tag that's been chalked but, unlike the dragon card, I also chalked the edges pink. :P

Materials Used:

• Cricut Cartridge - Pagoda
• White cardstock
• Stampendous Glitter - Sea Green
• Southworth Textured Weave Paper - Moss
• Stampendous Stamp Stuff Embossing Powder - Detail Black
• Colorbox Ink - Black
• Powder Puff Chalking Inks - Pink Cheeks, Mocha Mama and Amaretto
• Hampton Art Clear Stamps - Oh Baby (for saying)
• Carpet Tape

Been awhile ... I know

Hi all. Just wanted to let you know that I'm now working on not one, but TWO different invitations. One is for my sister's baby shower (should have a picture up this week) and the other is for a bridal shower tea (which, I'm drinking at the moment ... mmmm ... yummy, warm goodness!). The tea invite will be up later this year since the shower itself isn't until May, but, you know me, I like to get things done EARLY! LOL.

Well, have a great day and know that I haven't forgotten about you. I'm working away to showcase new things!

Ta!
