Thank You Notes

I really like giving out thank you notes to show my appreciation to my friends and family. Whenever I have a spare moment, I love to make extra thank yous for when I need them.

A birthday card and bad photos!

I realized that I don't like how my photos look on my blog... so I am going to be working on taking better photos! It is my friends birthday so I made this really cute card for her. I also have been working on my bows as seen on this card, and I was given a quick tip from another blogspot.com person thanks Paper Jewels!

My Dream on Paper...

So I had this dream last night about making a card and when I woke up I had a clear image of the card in my mind. I jotted it down because I had to go to work and this is what I made when I got home.

It is a little different than the one in my dream, because the one in my dream was super big and really long, it had many more scallops and desgins on the front! This one is just the right size! (I LOVE the high heel shoe!!)

Feeling Sad, Feeling Blue??

Everyone has felt this way at one time or another. Image having one of those days and receiving this fun, cheerful card. It is sure to brighten any day. The cute colors and the joyfulness of this card would make even the crummiest day seem not so bad!

Did someone say party??

Party planning can be so stressful! I completely obsess about every detail. But when I look at these adorable party invitations… it melts my stress away! Invitations can really set the mood and excitement of an upcoming party. Image having one of these tacked to your fridge while waiting for the greatest party ever! These were made with my Cricut Cutter the Doodle Charm cartridge and the Wild Card cartridge. A little glue, a little sparkle and you have yourself an adorable invite!

This is one sided. Here is the front:

It's Official!

That's right! It is official! School is out and Summer is here! This year went so fast and we have a HOT Arizona Summer to look forward to. No better way to spread the joy of summer with fun summer cards!

My Chicks Do as I Do!!

My little chicks do as I do, so they have been watching me on my Cricut and decided to pull out their Crayola Cutter machine and they have been hard at work!

This beautiful Earth Day Card was made by Chick #1

And this Thank Goodness School is almost out and Summer is Here card is from Chick # 2.
For Clarifications Chick # 1 is my first daughter and Chick # 2 is my second daughter. And they are chicks because they have always followed me around like little baby chicks!

Great News!

When the owner of Kutsie Clips asked me to design bags for her hair clips, I was thrilled! She makes the most amazing clips I have ever seen! The detailing is amazing. Check out the clips and the bags to go with them! Imagine giving this lady bug hairclip to your little girl in this ladybug bag. Too Cute!!

Look at the detail in this clip:

Our school colors are black and orange, check this out! Total school spirit!

Keep checking back, we are working on both the Kutsie Clip website and DoubleClick Connections!

How did I get started??

I owe it all to my husband I guess! I am not a scrap booker, but I have always enjoyed sitting down and doing some kind of craft. Nothing to serious, sewing, painting, play doh, whatever the kids would enjoy. So when it was my birthday and I opened up a big box that said Cricut, I just assumed there was something else inside. But there wasn’t it was the Provo Craft Cricut Expressions machine. I did not even know what it was so I just set it aside. A few months later I was feeling guilty that I wasn’t more appreciative of his gift so I took it out. And I’m addicted now! I have all these ideas in my mind and I can’t cut quick enough. I LOVE my cricut!! It gets a thumbs up!

Summer is Almost Here!

With summer right around the corner, I love working on these great cards to give out for barbecues and summer fun!
