Pocket and Tag card

A little of everything here....laced pocket for flower stamped and  heat embossed HB tag, embossed pink piece with cut flurish, stamped butterflies, a little Tim Holtz distress ink and sparkle paint all around the edges.

Explosion Box


I had a hard time getting the layers right on this one...but I now have a Martha Stewart score board so I will have to give it another go sometime. I don't know how super models do it, but my photos never do my projects justice. :() It's hard to see but the card's background has a nice shinny swirly texture to it.
So I kept the design fairly simple.

Doily card

This svg, cut in the cricut, was so intricate that it took a long time to cut. But worth it I think. And it really lessened the need for a lot of embellishments. But there are some....little heart gems in the corners, a ceramic rose in the center and a hand written sentiment.

Man Card

This one was made for a guy friend. I used Tall trees and birthday stamps, white and yellow ribbon, blue gems and lots of Tim Holtz - Broken China distress ink frames white the paper of the stamped images and of course lots of sparkle. The card itself was already blue.

Anniversary Easel Card

 I had put out a call for help one day when I needed Wedding designs for a friends wedding. A cart I didn't have. A sweet lady, Fran from Arizona (bless her), snail mailed me this cricut cutout of this (and many others) couple on brazil paper. What I hadn't used for the wedding stuff, was used for their 1st Anniversay card. Even the ribbon is a left over from her wedding. The flowers and leaves also cut with the cricut, an embossed background,  heat embossed "congrats" and a metal "Love" completed the easel card.

Bird House Card

This card was inspired by Novablossoms and was made for my parents 48th Anniversary. I printed out a poem from the computer, cut it out with fancy sissors and glued it to the back.

Bird House Card

Cricut cut and rolled roses and cricut cut sign post, daisies, fence and birds, embossed hearts and birdhouse door, Martha Stewart leaf punch and computer generated Happy Anniversary, and of course....and Tim Holtz dies on almost everything!

The Baby book was inspired by Creations by Christie. It's to record all of babies first's. Each month has a calendar and a pull out tag to write down what that special moment was. The clock in Jan is the actual time he was born. And Mom and Dad's birthday's are included. I don't yet have a "Bind it All", so I went out to the Dollarstore and grabbed this little notebook. It had 72 pages in it, so 6 were taped together and then covered in special paper. The final touch was a fancy ribbon to hold it all together. It was fun to do.

Baby book inside cover....I had to edit the other side out because I had inserted the Baby shower's invitation and had all the home phone numbers on it :)
