Announcing...

I cannot believe how fast the time has gone since I had my baby.  I am just now finishing up his birth announcements, but better late than never I suppose!  I LOVE how they turned out.  I had to do 2 color schemes since I ran out of the brown/red/blue combo and didn't want to go into the store again.  I like them both quite a bit though!

I used the Cuttin Up cartridge for the BOY and welded it together using my gypsy.  I also cut out the circle part of the O with my gypsy too and 'hid' the contour of the rest of the O.  The Sweet Baby stamps are from Scrappy Moms Stamp. The background paper on the red/brown/blue one is from CTMH.  The other paper is just from my stash!  Hope you like them!

Card Club Fun...

Here is the card I made for my monthly card club.  Our "theme" this month was masculine birthday.  

The Time 4 Fun is off of the Cuttin UP cartridge cut at 3" with the shadow feature.  I used the circle embossing folder with my cuttlebug and a DCWV paperpack.

You are my sunshine...

We are loving that the sunshine came out...we were beginning to wonder if we would have a summer here in Idaho, or just a spring.

This card was done for my monthly card club...the theme was to use yellow and orange.  

The sun is cut from Create a Critter and the sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamp set Amusing Animals.

I hope you are having a sunshinny day!!

Sing, sing a song....

Sing out loud, sing ALONG!!!

My little girls LOVE to sing.  So for an activity to do on our long summer days, I made up some cue cards for all the different songs we like to sing.  It is a work in progress as I think of new songs often, but its a good start!

A few examples from the picture above include...

5 little monkies

Bringing home a baby bumble bee

The wheels on the bus

5 little speckled frogs

How much is that doggy?

Thanks for stopping by!!

Celebrate the Occasion #18...

Hi everyone!  

I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD be!  The CTO challenge #18 is up and it was a great one--4th of July *red, white and blue*!!

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!  I cannot wait to see what you create!

Who doesn't like the 4th of July?  It means summer is finally here (at least where I live), we celebrate our awesome country, you get to see fireworks, and eat yummy food!  My house seems to be pretty empty once all the Easter decorations come down so I figured it needed some fun 4th of July decorations!! 

This is just a 2x6 board cut to 12".  The striped paper is CTMH and the freedom words are cut from Opposites Attract cartridge and the stamped words are from CTMH stamp sets.  The firecracker was bought from the dollar store quite awhile ago.

Thanks for Celebrating the Occasion with us!

I am also entering this into the following challenges...

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge #66

Want to see??

What I have been doing lately?

This adorable little guy was born on June 1st and would explain the lack of creating on my part...I am creating a nice growing family right now :).  I have gotten down to the craft room a few times and will post a few of those creations soon...as soon as they are finished!  Thanks for sticking around!!

Celebrating the Occasion Challenge #16

Hi everyone!  

I hope you are Celebrating the Occasion with us this week and if you aren't you SHOULD be!  The CTO challenge #16 is up and it was a great one---Happy Birthday~must have a party hat!!  

Come on over to the CTO blog and play with us!!  I cannot wait to see what you create!

Loved this challenge!  I had the Amusing Animals stamp set from Scrappy Mom's Stamp for quite some time and didn't know when I was going to get to use this particular sentiment.  I have a few friends having birthday's in July and one of them is a dog lover...figured what better way to wish her happy birthday than with a poodle card!  Hope she likes it!

The poodle is cut from Create a Critter at 3". I only used the 2 layers because I wanted to use my Peachy Keen Stamps for the face. Once again, the sentiment is from Scrappy Mom's Stamp.

Happy Creating....
