Mom's Birthday Card

My mother's birthday was this past Saturday and I have not mailed out her card yet. I'm getting better at getting the cards done on time, but then I keep forgetting to send them. So Happy Belated Birthday, Mom and I will try to get the card out as soon as possible.

I used both cartridges my mom got me for Christmas, Wild Card and Hello Kitty Greetings.  The paper is from Best Creations Inc.  It is very glittery!  Enjoy

Bitten By the BUG October Contest

This is a 25th birthday card I made for my boyfriend.  It's a little early, his birthday isn't until the beginning of December, but BBTB had a contest that needed to be central around a number and since 25 is a big birthday I couldn't really pass up the opportunity to get it done early.  I also wanted to try making a secret flap card.  So here is the card I came up with.

Secret Flap

I made this card with the Storybook, Stretch Your Imagination, and Paper Pups cartridges.  The paper is plain cardstock from JoAnn's.  The music note art work was actually done by a good friend's older sister.  It was on the back of a postcard for his senior recital.

First Couple of Projects

First Halloween card ever!  This is my first trial ever of making a card.  I used the All-Mixed Up Cricut cartridge for the lettering and Stretch Your Imagination for the leaf and the pumpkin man.  (No it is not an altered snowman, that's what my boyfriend thought)  I learned not to use think textured paper in the Cricut.  It is a pain in the butt and keeps falling right off the mat.  The ribbon is adhesive and says "Happy Halloween" on it.

Definitely click on this picture so you can see it bigger.  Sorry for the poor picture but it was really hard to get a good one.  The name at the top was etched with EtchAll and the Cricut Storybook cartridge.  These are pictures of my niece, isn't she adorable.  All of the pictures were also cut out with the Storybook cartridge.

This is my brother's 21st birthday card.  It was really hard to find a non-girly combination of papers.  I used the sketch from  SheetLoad of Cards April 2008 edition.  The ribbon was adhesive and the stamps are done with perfect Pearls.
