Sweet Baby Card

I made this card for a sweet couple at our church that have been blessed with a little baby girl. I don't get to do much "girl" stuff since I have my two boys and only 1 niece...So, I sometimes struggle with it. But I love this little carriage that is on the Graphically Speaking Cartridge (cricut) and combined with the swirls folder on the Cuttlebug I think it came out so cute. I added some lace to the top and the bed of the little carriage for texture.

Introducing brothers

This layout was originally done for a one hour challenge at club ck! If you haven't tried it you should but, it's tough. The original did not have a journal spot nor a sticker and the picture was lousy due to the rushed circumstances lol...I did fix it though and am happy it's done :) thanks for visiting!

Happy New Year!



I know a little late but I wanted to let everyone know that I am wishing you all a very happy new year! I am hoping that this year is better for me and my family, it has been a rough couple of years for us and I think we could use a break this year! I know there are alot of people in the same situation so I feel you! I'm praying for more financial stability and just a better year in general.:) I got to spend the New Year with my extended family members which I haven't done since I've been married. It was so nice to spend the holiday with them. We spent the whole time practically outdoors sitting around a bonfire talking and laughing. The picture is from my uncle's property in West Central Texas, so peaceful out there. My youngest sure enjoyed the outdoor life..lol....I'm hoping to get some new projects up soon, My goal is to finish some albums that are started but not completed this year. I have a family vacation I took when my youngest was a baby, he is now 4! I really want to finish that! Thanks for visiting my blog! You are very appreciated!

"I Gotta Feeling"

A layout finally! I love these pics of my baby boy and held onto them forever! He loved the song "I gotta feeling" by the black eyed peas and so I thought the pictures fit nicely with that title. I used the cricut for the car (B is for boy) and the Gypsy for the title. Everything else is hand pieced,drawn, or cut. I wanted the layout to be playful like my son is. Tfl!

Rejoice!

I made this card using pink paislee pp and gold metallic paper from colorbok. I also used my Gypsy to cut out the ornament (Christmas solutions cart). The Rejoice is hard to see and is more noticeable in real life but hey what can you do? I cut that using the weld feature on the Gypsy...love that feature!

Christmas Wreath card

front


inside


Here is a card I made using the Gypsy and cricut. I used the Christmas solutions cart for the sign and wreath. I welded the signs together to make a card within itself and then glued that on the front. I also cut the wreath twice obce regular once shadowed and popped it up with adhesive foam. The "berries" were made using studio g glitter glue. Pp is Dcwv Christmas combo stack. I'm really loving that cart! :)

Catching up with my Christmas Cards.

Here are two more cards I've done recently. The first is another card I made from the fantastic snowflake paper from DCWV Christmas stack. I am truly loving this stack! I used my Cricut to cut the Die cut shapes for the sentiment (storybook) and snowflake (graphically speaking). I used the a TPC studio stamp for the sentiment. The cuttlebug for texture and stickles to finish it off. Oh the ribbon came from Michael's last year..I love that too~!



The second card I made yesterday was this Noel Card. I used the same DCWV christmas stack for the gold paper and the Cricut Christmas solutions cartridge for all other cuts. I used the cuttlebug swirls folder for texture again. I had some lace in my stash and gold ribbon and I thought it worked well with the angel. Using the Cricut has made my life so much easier while making Christmas cards.



That's all I have for now....TFL!
