Snow White birthday girl

Our best friends' daughter is turning 5 this week... 5!! That is their baby... oh my, the time does fly.

So, of course she is into "princesses" like a lot of little girls (although she is also into Mickey mouse too). Anyway, I borrowed the Princess cricut cartridge, used some PTI bitty dot paper, the Threading Water punch, and a sentiment in CTMH Holiday Red.

Here's a pic of my son at 5 1/2 months and their daughter at about 2 weeks. They live forever far away from us but have so much fun playing everytime we get together.

Enjoy!

A favorite sketch

One of my favorite sketches ever is from Lauren Meader. If you've never read her blog, you are really missing out. That girl is a powerhouse of ideas and inspiration! I don't even have the original date on this sketch but have been using it for almost a year. It's all PTI paper/ribbon/ink with CTMH stamp and black ink. It is just a perfect sketch! This is for my mom-in-law's bday this weekend. Here's a link to the first time I used this sketch (and it has Lauren's original!).

Enjoy!

Mom's present part II

These are the other 2 cards I made my mom. I used blue cs I've had for awhile, DCWV pp from blossoms and butterflies. I paper pieced the Verve butterfly after double stamping it and in the bottom card I also used the Swiss Dots folder for extra texture.

Enjoy!

Mom's present part I

Fortunately my mom wants me to make her cards to send to/give to friends for birthdays or other occasions. This year I sorta ran out of time. But, in case you did not know, I am a total paper addict! This is pp from DCWV Blossoms and Butterflies from last year spring!!! I still horde it terribly!! I used pink cs that I have had for about 3 or 4 years (I know, terrible!). That pink ribbon? At least a year old.

Hi, I am a horder!! But, I really really really am using up my stash. (of course, if YOU have too much you need to get rid of, I am always happy to "hold" it for you! lol)

Anyway, I used my yellow Bella baubles on the 3 flowers on the card on the left and rounded the edges of the pp of the right card.

Enjoy!

Disney LO for friends

Last week a couple of friends who visited Disneyworld in May asked for some help with the titles and endings of their scrapbooks. Neither has a cricut. One actually just completed her first scrapbook a few months ago. I borrowed the Mickey font from a friend, used the Design studio software and went to work. I did the shadow in red with the regular title in black for the first title and the reversed it for the last title. I think it came out super cute!

Tell me what you think!

Enjoy!

Embossed birthday sketch

Have you ever visited Jen's blog? She's always got a SFYTT (sketch for you to try), and I love them! This was from waaaaay back in December, but I keep my sketch notebook handy and always thumb through it before making a card.

It is PTI Ocean Tides cs, grosgrain ribbon, polka dot pp, and some yummy white velvet ribbon (had for ages). I stamped the CTMH flower in CTMH White Daisy craft ink, double embossed with white embossing powder. So, lots of good texture since I didn't pull out my cuttlebug for this card.

This is for my mom's birthday on Saturday. Yes, THIS Saturday. America's Independence day. Since my mom was born on the 4th of July, she thought the entire country celebrated her birthday growing up. Hence, we sorta grew up with a skewed version of how birthday's should be celebrated. I, personally, have a Birthday Extravaganza that lasts all week long (too bad for my dear hubby who's birthday is 2 days after mine! haha).

Enjoy!
