Baby Boy card using Baby Boutique

Friends of ours had twin  boys not to long ago and I needed to make a card for them. This is the first time that I've gotten to use Baby Boutique, I made the card and matching bag. I used the background paper from this cartrdige and I cut the strollers out at 3.5" and then cut the little letter that is hanging off the handle at 1". On the bag I cut out each stroller at 5" and the letter at 1.5".

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

1st x-mas card of the season

This is my 1st christmas card that I've gotten done this year. I bought winter frolic the other day at Michaels and had to play with it. I cut the branch and birdhouse out at I think 3.5 or 4" and the card is a standard A2. The paper that I used was out of a pack that I bought at Hobby Lobby that had a random assorment in it. I used diamond stickles on the snow and on the snowy tree branches to give it that glisning affect and took my white gell pen and stiched around the ribbon and kinda just skechted around the birdhouse to give it a textured look.
Thanks for looking :)

Cricut Circle Blog Weekly Challenge Glittery Card Sketch Challenge Entry

Here is my entry for the cricut circle blog challange. I used Hello Kitty Greetings bats cut out at 2 inches and the happy halloween is cut out at 1.25. I used some of my Recollections Midnight Magic paper that I found at Michaels the other day. The white/orange has glitter on it and the printed paper that I used for the Happy Halloween has halloween sayings on it. I also used my Irock for the bats eyes to give it a little bling. I also wanted to give it that cute look so I used a white paint pen and did a stitch look on the black parts of the bats.

Thanks for stoping by and looking and have a great day!

a couple of things that I've made using create a critter

I broke out the create a critter cartridge the last few days and these are a couple of things that I've made with it. 1st I made me a new address/birthday dates book using my new cinch. I don't remeber what I cute the lady bug out at or the word friends. I really like how all the colors just went together.  The 2nd thing is a birthday card for someone from the cricut message board. I used the same paper that I used on the spirl book ( I love that paper and really need to figure out who makes it so if any of ya'll know please comment below THANKS) I cut the squirl out at 3.5 and I think the acorn was at 2.5 or 3 and don't remeber the size of the phrase (sorry).  Oh and the card is an easle card that was cut to fit in an A2 envolope.

Thanks so much for stoping by and taking a look :)

1st book that I made using my new Cinch V2

I just got my new Cinch V2 the other day and I finally got a few mins. to make something with it. I cut the turtle and smile from Paisley and used my bubble gum imagine cartridge. I cuttlebuged the turtle shell. I must say that I am really liking the cinch way better then I did my bind it all. I've also taken my daughters sight words and her time flash cards and punched holes into them and put a spirl  so she can use them a little easier.

Thanks for stoping by and looking and have a great day :)

A card that I made for a special little girl

A friend over on the circle message board posted this up yesterday......
One of my friends has a little 3 year old girl that experienced a freak accident yesterday and crushed her hand as well as amputating her thumb. The surgeon has reattached the finger and they are using leeches to try and save it but it doesn't look good for saving it and she has lost so much bloo also they are starting to lean towards a transfusion. I know in the grand scheme of things losing a thumb at this young of an age can be overcame but please if you could spare some thoughts and prayers for this little one and her parents, I would appreciate it.
Also she LOVES getting mail. I send her little trinkets and cards all the time and she ADORES receiving it. If you have time could you send her some cheer, it doesn't have to be fancy.

PM ME for her address



I also want to say that I appreciate the power of the circle and you guys were the first people I thought of when I was thinking about filling their mailbox with cards and well wished for Finley :)

When I saw this post I knew what cartridge I wanted to use...
Kate's ABC's ~ I cut everything out at 2" and used some of my brads and flowers that I was given for mothers day....

sorry for them being sideways...haven't figured out how to flip them yet :)

Thanks for looking and have a terrific day!
