Party Invites

  I created these party invitations for a friend's daughter.  She wanted to have an end of school year pool party and I am glad that I was able to make these for her.  I used the Life's A Beach Cricut cart.  I especially love the bikini cut! It is soooo cute!

Mother's Day Card

  I created this teapot card for my mom for Mother's Day.  I used my Cricut Nursery Rhymes cart in the cricut craft room.  The best thing I love about this card is the flowers I made.  I have really enjoyed researching many several tutorials for flowers and so now I know I will never buy flowers again....I will just make them.  I apologize for the poor photo quality but I can't retake the pics cuz I already mailed the card.  You really can't see the lil yellow rosebud I have on the other side but I also made that and sparkled it a bit.  Thanks for stopping by.  Feel free to leave any questions or comments in the comment section.

CSI Casefile #20 - Bust A Cap

 I really surprised myself with this weeks casefile over at CSI.  The color scheme is one that I normally wouldn't have used but I really like the way my layout turned out. I decided to use a pic of my honey after his club's "Bust A Cap" weekend.  I used some pleated strips that I learned to do from a tutuorial a while back and then instead of using the accordian strip for a flower I used it as another layer.  I also pulled out some scrapbooking crinkled paper strip to add another layer.  But what I really love about this layout was being able to pull out my old roller stamp and rolling handle and creat my own background paper.  It has been soooo long since I used those products.  So here is the picture of my layout and a close up of the heat embossing I also used.  Thanks for stopping by. 

CSI Case#18

I instantly loved the colors in this Case over at CSI.  I knew I would have the perfect picture.  I also decided to take the opportunity in making my own flowers.  This is my take on the blue daze flower tutorial I found on the Swirlydoos forum.  Lisa the lady that has this tutorial is awesome at making flowers you can find her tutorial here. She truly inspires me to make my own.

50th Birthday Card (male)

I made this card for our friend’s birthday.  It is a center step card and I was pretty surprised to find out that it really wasn’t too difficult to make.
