Hope You Have A PURRFECT Birthday!

Wow, posting 2 days in a row! Anywho, this is a card I made for a friend at Church. The inside says "Hope You Have A PURRFECT Birthday!". The card base is made from the Cricut Sentimentals cart. I cut it twice (on my Gypsy). They second one is cut a bit smaller and then I cut off the back part of the card so I could use the front as a second layer on the front of the first card. The adorable kitty and all other cuts on this card are from the Create A Critter cart. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite cartridges.

The kitty and all his parts are cut at 2.5". I used my kitty, Logan, as my muse. The kitty pillow is cut at 2" and the yarn is just a bit smaller (I can't remember the exact size). The kitty, yarn and pillow are adorned with ink and the kitty and yarn are on pop dots. The paper is from the All Dressed Up Stack by DCWV. I added some ribbon on the side to embellish. TFL. I enjoy any and all comments!

Time flies when I am busy...And Silk Lollipop Flower

Time has passed by in the blink of an eye. I wish I coul post everything that I make (at least the things that I like...lol). But, with 3 beautiful boys, a wonderful (but busy) husband, being active in my Church and my kids school, time just goes by so fast. So I will be happy sharing when I can.

So I am sharing this lollipop flower made from satin. I learned how to make it on You Tube. The channel I learned it on is Butterflykisses12. What I really like about this flower is how "expensive" it looks and how easy it is to do. You can really make it your own. It can go on a scrapbook page, a card, an altered project, bag, etc. TFL.

New Blog Background

I am a person who likes a change of scenery, so I have changed my blog background...again. I love nature. I love animals and flowers and the great outdoors. And if my health would allow I would be spending alot more time camping and doing stuff like that. But, I can't, so I live through movies and pictures and scrapbooking. Anywho, my fave flower is a sunflower. And when I came across this wonderful sunflower layout at thecutestblogontheblog.com I just knew it was for me! They are very generous at their website and have lots of background and buttons and things for free. I am fairly computer savvy, but I still haven't gotten hold of this blog creating thing. They make it a bit easier.

Hope you like. Thanks for stopping by!

Oh Happy Day

I was having a bit of a slump, so I broke out my Wild Card cart (definitely one of my faves) and started cutting some cards. I will have a post or 2 more with Wild Cards cuts. For this card I used the Circle card cut on page 48. It is cut at 4 1/2". I cut it with the blackout button so that I could add to the front of the card.

The dark pink is the liner button for the card. The "OH HAPPY DAY" is the phrase button for the card. I added some ribbon around the edge of the fold. I just thought it looked pretty and I like to add ribbon to just about everything. The patterned paper is from a pad by K & Co. and it is double sided. The print on the inside of the envelope is the same print on the inside of the card.

I cut the envelope at 4 1/2" also and used all the same papers. It is a little thick with the liner, but I really think it looks better with it. Thanks for looking again!

Snowflake Cards

These were some of the Christmas cards that I made for 2009. I made them using my trusty Cricut and the Joys of the Season cartridge. I used the Gypsy to weld 2 snowflakes together and there ya go, a card!

The printed papers are from My Mind's Eye. The straight pins are from Making Memories. TFL!
