Royal Wedding Extravaganza



So I just got home from a Royal Wedding party. Yes it is 10 am and I am in need of a long nap. Some ladies and I got together, had a sleep over and woke up at 4 am to start the festivities. I made vases, purses, and even the Kate replica rings for the party out of various cricut cartridges. As soon as I get some zzzz's I will post more pictures and how I created the decorations which are so versatile and can be used for any party.

Happy Spring!

This is a card I made last year for Spring and Easter. I would just change the saying at the top. I made many of these last year ( I have since learned not to do that! lol). So I had enough to send out this year, and maybe the next two years!! Oh yes, do not do that!!!

Oh how I do love Mojo Monday's. This was my adaptation of the Mojo Monday 185 Sketch and I had a blast making it. I used a wide variety of cartridges to get it just right. Far too many to list. As for the hearts, I found the template online but I don't remember where, shucks! I would love to give that lady credit.

crying out for cricut

what is you favorite cartridge? And what is you favorite 3 D cartridge?

Jersey Shore Baby, Beachy



I made this card for my Aunt and Uncle who came to visit for my dad's wedding. The reason for the tri-fold beach theme is because they life on the Jersey Shore where our whole family is vacationing this summer. I wanted to not only thank them for coming to GA because we had a blast but also remind them that we are coming.( and they promised to take my kids crabbing) The card dimensions are 7 inches and the score line are at 4, 6 1/2, and 9. Fold the card and you are ready to go. There are endless possibilities with this one. You can do family to fun and kiddish to adult humor. I love this fold.

such a spring card






















Maggie and I have been getting together via Skype ( you've got to love modern technology) to make cards in the afternoon. This one we made from the ScorePal website, credit to Brenda Quintana or the creation. This was so much fun I love the hanging 3d butterflies. We had a blast. Check out the Score Pal website for a variety of great card making ideas.
