Octopus Birthday Card

Hope you all are having a great weekend!  It has been 4 months since I posted anything on here.  I went back to work 4 months ago and it has been very hard to spend any time in my craft room.  I purchased a Cricut Expressions this week and I can't seem to stay out of my craft room now.  I am so glad to be making cards and projects again.  I have missed it so much.

Here is a card that I made with my son in mind.  We took him to the aquarium and now he is in love with sea life.  I hope you enjoy it.

Here is what I used:
Card stock from Michael's

Flowers Card

Happy Saturday Everyone!  Thought I would post this card before my weekend gets super busy.  I decided not to put a sentiment on this card that way it could be used for any occasion.

I used Cindy Loo Cricut cartridge to cut the vine.  Then I placed some Color Me Crazy flowers on it.  I put some pearls from Michael's on the flowers to make them stand out more.  All paper is from Michael's.  I used EK Tools Scallop Daisy large edge punch for the center piece.

Love Book

Happy Friday Everyone!!!  Hope you have all had a good week.  Here in North Carolina we had a snow and ice storm this week.  I am still snowed in but loving it.  Hopefully I will be able to get out tomorrow and head to the grocery store.  We are starting to get cabin fever.

Love Bug

Just another quick post today.  I made a couple of these cards to give my boys on Valentine's Day.  They told me that I couldn't put pink on their cards this year since pink was just for girls.  So I decided to make the background blue just for them.

I used Create a Critter and George and the Basic Shapes Cricut cartridges.  The paper came from Michaels.

Snowman and Penguin card

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!  It is pretty cold here in North Carolina.  We actually saw a little snow on Wednesday.

For this card I had to be a little creative.  I don't have a Cricut cartridge with a snowman so I had to improvise.  For my snowman, I used the doll cut on the Cindy Loo cartridge and got the scarf and hat from the Create a Critter cartridge.  I used some black gems from Michael's for his eyes and buttons.

For the penguin, I used the Create a Critter cartridge.  The gems I used for his eyes are from Michael's.  All the card stock is Recollections.  For the snowflake background, I used my Darice snowflake embossing folder with my Cuttlebug.

Whale Birthday Card

Hello Everyone!  It has been awhile since my last posting.  Christmas had me swamped this year but we had a good Christmas and New Years.  Hope everyone else did also.  I'm bringing in the New Year with a NEW craft room.  My husband decided that he wanted his pool table back so we took one of the bedrooms and converted it into a craft room.  I LOVE IT!!!

I made this card for my Grandsons 1st Birthday.  He is such a little cutie!  Wish I was able to see him this weekend but unfortunately the flu bug has hit my house.  So I will be taking care of my sick little one.

Here is what I used:
Create a Critter and George and the Basic Shapes Cricut Cartridges
Recollections card stock
Hip Hip Hooray Paper Pad by American Crafts
Buttons from Michael's
