Merry Christmas! Tree from Create a Critter!

I keep my holiday supplies in my bedroom closet ( I know that sounds terrible!) and I went to dig for my Christmas supplies and when I turned on the light it blew out. My better half was at work and the light was too high for me to replace. I tried searching with a flashlight but couldn't move anything with one hand. I ended up finding an envelope with Christmas supplies in them that I used last year and never got to putting them away so I used all scraps to make my card! 

I had some inspiration today, thanks Georgiana!

Happy Birthday! Sweet Dragonfly using Paisley Cricut Cartridge

I am getting ready for my run and wanted to post a card I started working on yesterday. Pretty much everything that could go wrong while card making, went wrong with this card! From glittering the wrong side of the winds, to forgetting to glue down the shadow, to sticking my hand in the wet liquid pearls not once but twice, and the list goes on!! So needless to say I am happy that I was able to salvage it and get it posted!

Thank You Berry Much! Sweet Strawberry Card! And an Update!!

WoW! I have missed crafting so much! Some of you may know that I am an avid runner and have recently taken on a volunteer assistant cross country coach position at the local middle school. The commitment is 4 nights a week and 1 early morning. So during this season I am spreading my time thin! But I wouldn't have it any other way! I know that all my blogging friends understand the tough balance between real life and blogging life. I also hope everyone knows how much I miss visiting and seeing what is going on, but I am confident I will soon find a routine that works for me so I can fit it all in! I hope to visit soon! Thanks for understanding! ~Carri

It has taken me just over 1 week to make this card!
