13th Birthday

My niece is going to be 13 this month, so I figured that she deserved an extra special card. It's not every day that you become a teenager. :)

I used the Doodlecharm cartridge, as well as the Don Juan cartridge. The cupcake, as well as the 13 are mounted with foam squares to add some depth. The cupcake is decorated with a variety of different buttons and rhinestones, as well as a glitter paper flame atop the candle. I used a cupcake stamp, as well as a 'wish big' stamp from Stampin' Up. A lavender ribbon, as well as lavender rhinestones were added to pull the purple throughout. I was really happy with how it turned out.

1st Birthday Boy Card

I forgot to post this card. I made it for my nephew's 1st birthday. It went with the scrapbook that I made him, and of course had to match the colors of the party! :)

I also used the doodlecharm cartridge for the cupcake, which is one of my favorite carts right now! The mini cupcakes and 'wish big'are both Stampin'Up stamps.

Baby Card

One of my friends asked me to make a baby card for one of her friends. The pictures are a little misleading, because the yellow isn't that bright. It's actually a pastel yellow.

Just Buggin' Challenge #25: Black and White

What's the challenge for this week?

Challenge #25: Black and White: Use black and white only on your Cricut project. If necessary, you may use ONE additional color.

I made a sympathy card for a friend that just lost her grandpa. I used Stretch Your Imagination, as well as the Don Juan cartridge.

Elijah's Scrapbook

So I had the brilliant idea to make Elijah a scrapbook for his birthday present. His part was this past Sunday, so when did I start making it? Saturday at 4:00 of course! I did a lot of crafting on Saturday, but was able to get it done on time!

On the cover I wrote a poem about turning 1.


Some other spreads from the book! :)









The end of the book contained sheets the people could sign, and I kept a sheet for his big sister to draw him a picture.



A little signature on the back cover. :)

1st Birthday Thank You Cards

I created this thank you card to match the invitations I made for my nephew's first birthday party. I learned a valuable lesson with this one. Don't design a card with 5 buttons on it, especially when you're making 16 cards. It's hard to find that many buttons @ one store! :)

Baby Shower Thank Yous

Showers. I enjoy them. I like baby showers and bridal showers. I like parties that have themes. Maybe that's why I like showers so much. :)

A friend asked me to design some thank you cards for a baby shower. Perfect! She sent me a picture of a quilt that the parents-to-be have registered for, which is what the designed is based off of. 30 cards of each design.

Thanks for thinking of me Katie! :)
