Thinking of You

Happy Saturday all!  I hope you are having a fabulous day.  The weather here is beautiful out - can't wait to enjoy the day.  Last night I went to my friend Vicki's monthly crop.  She is a Creative Memories consultant and hosts monthly crops - we always have a blast! 

One of the ladies who attends regularly had a death in the family and Vicki asked if one of us "Cricut girls" would cut out a "Thinking of You" phrase so we could make a card for her.  Since everyone else was busy with a project, I offered to make the card for her so everyone could sign it.

This is the card I ended up with - I kept it pretty simple but I like how it turned out.  I used the Sentimentals cartridge to cut the "Thinking of You".  The butterflies were made using the Creative Memories butterfly punch.  I punched them in both the light and dark purple card stock and then attached them at the body of the butterfly and bent the wings of the light purple butterfly up to add some dimension.  The flower paper is from a DCWV mat stack.  For the yellow card stock border, I used the Martha Stewart Daisy Lace Edge punch.  Added a bit of ribbon and.....Voila.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek.  Hope you've enjoyed your visit.  Have a great day.....

Thank "Ewe" Card

Hi everyone -

I'm so surprised and proud of myself this week....I have been on a bit of a roll and have spent quite a bit of time in my scraproom making some cards.  Hmmmmmmm....wonder if I can keep it up?? :-)

Last night, I finished up another card using the "Just Because" Cards cartridge.  If you don't have this cartridge, I highly recommend getting it.  I'm loving it.  It has some really cute cuts and phrases on it.

I cut the card base in the teal/blue Bazzil cardstock at 5 1/2".  I used the 5 1/2" setting for all other cuts on this card also.  This cartridge is designed to cut all items so they are in scale to each other if you cut all items from the same key using the same size setting.  Makes it super easy to make a really quick...and adorable...card. 

The flower paper is from a DCWV Glitter Stack all other paper is random cardstock I had in my scrap folder.  I've been trying to use up some of my scraps - I have a huge stack.

I used the Divine Swirls embossing folder on the sheep.  I also cut the white layer twice and pop dotted the 2nd layer to add some dimension.  I hope you can see this in the picture.  The sheep itself is also pop-dotted on the card.  Last, I used my Creative Memories corner rounder on the card base.  Hope you enjoy the card.

Also, at Audrey's (of Cute and Some blog) prompting yesterday on my other cards, I've decided to enter this card into Showcase # 4.

Thanks for stopping by.....Have a fabulous day!

Simple Thank You Card

I recently switched departments at work and my co-worker gave me some homemade cookies and also bought me lunch as a token of her appreciation.  She also wrote me a very sweet note.

So, I needed a Thank You card to show my appreciation at her very sweet and thoughtful gesture.  Tonight, I decided to go ahead and make one instead of using a store bought card.

It's a very simple card - but I like the way it turned out.  I didn't want a bunch of embellishments on this one.
