Snow Much Fun

I finally got around to completing a layout. I used my new Winter Frolic cartridge. This was the first snowfall of the season for us. The boys had a great time making tunnels and forts in the snow.

Thank you cards

I made thank you cards for our Christmas presents yesterday. I even got them in the mailbox!

Nuts About U

This is a thank you card that I made for a special friend. I used Create a Critter cartridge.

It's a doggie Christmas

My oldest son asked me to make a card for his English teacher. Her husband is working on Christmas so she will be home alone with the dogs. Wow. Sounds like how I will be spending Christmas. lol

Rain, Sleet or Snow

...won't keep me away! Isn't that the truth?! We drive our buses in all sorts of crazy weather. This is the Christmas card that I made for my boss and his wife.

Snowmen Candy Bars

I made these snowmen for the boy's girlfriends for Christmas. I found the snowman printable file HERE. Thank you so much Laurie!

Card Gift Sets

I made several of these card sets to give away as Christmas presents this year. I included an envelope with each card. I hope they like them. :)

Vinyl Madness!

My second son just made the middle school baseball team. The "Warriors". He is shirt number 1. Go Warriors!

I few years back I bought one of these from ebay. My hubby loved it and was mad that I didn't get him one. Today I made him one of his very own.

Hap BEE Birthday

I made this card using an invitation size envelope.

Seal the envelope and then cut off one end. Decorate the envelope and then put the bottom half through a crimper. Decorate and you're done.

My inside card measures 4 inches by 4 inches.

carts - paisley, san serif and ashlyn's alphabet

My New Desk

Hubby decided that I should have a new scrapping desk. Until now I have been using two folding tables from Walmart. He ordered this desk for me from Staples. I love it.

Peter Pan: Scal file (This is not my file. This is a link to where I did get the file from.)

Captain Hook: Scal File

This layout was originally going to include Mr. Smee. I made a cut file and cut out all of the pieces. I had to leave him on my crafting table half finished to go to work. When I came back he was gone. I couldn't find him anywhere. I eventually gave up looking and didn't cut him out again out of spite. I will share the file in case you have better luck than I do.

Zooballoo Challenge Card

Cynthia on the cricut message board has started a weekly challenge. This week's challenge is to use the cricut cart Zooballoo.

This is my creation. I used the card cut on the cartridge with the matching tree overlay. I cuttlebugged the base and added flower soft to the leaves. I backed my tree with red felt. The bird is a dollar stamp from Michaels.
