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.

Wow it has been a very busy week. I coached my first soccer game today and went canopy tree climbing. Yay. But here are two cards I made this week. The sentiments are interchangeable. You can do what ever you like. The cups are made from transparent paper, cut at angles. You can follow the line of a plastic cup if you like., then fold over and adhere with red sticky tape making sure there is an upward curve. The ice cubes are made with blue scraps with dimensionals and I cut the straw to fit and adhered it with glue dots. I love doing these for Cinco de Mayo and making margaritas. Colorful paper and lime will top them off exceptionally or they can add umph for a spring party. Well it s time for bed after such a busy day. As promised, I am going to make something extraordinary with my new cartridge tomorrow.

shaker card

I just got an order from Stampin up and included was shaker cups. My kids love them and it adds yet another dimension to already great cards. This one is just a random scrap card that I put together for my daughters friend to give her teacher. The cups measure 2 inches, so they are rather large but can be filled with anything. Just thinking out loud, but this could be a fun girls day project or gift and bath flakes could be put in the self adhesive cup. You know kids, anything that makes noise is bound to be fun.
