Feeling a little blue lately...

I've been really homesick lately, so this card was sort of an outlet for those feelings. The inside says Without You. My husband laughed at the fact the little bird's tail is droopy because he's sad lol. He thought it was a really cute idea. Then I said to him "that's because he's BLUE, get it? he's blue/sad" LOL He started laughing even more. He was pretty impressed, and of course I was beaming. The lettering is printed from my computer, the umbrella is from Paper Pups widened and shortened. I used a glitter pen for the raindrops. The backround paper is from the Cool Spectrum pack. Everytime I looked at that specific sheet I was reminded of a dreary day, so when I came up with the idea for the card I knew I would have the perfect paper to use!

My pretty little "flutterflies"

I took advantage that I did some chores this morning and my lil monkey was napping by whipping up this any occasion card. Simple and cute :)

Scraps Card

I made this with scraps from the previous post :) I also used my new MS flower lace border punch, swiss dots cuttlebug folder and the Thank You stamp is from the 1$ bins at Michaels!!

Scraplift from Annalise :)

This was also inspired by someone else's work. I saw the one made by Annalise over at http://annalisescreations.blogspot.com and thought it was soo cute!! I didn't have the fiskars border punch so I made my own by welding a bunch of small circles together on my cricut. The scalloped circles are from the Accent Essentials cartridge.

I LOVE these button birds!!!

I absolutely LOVE these little button birds!! I saw a card posted on the Cricut Messageboard by Shelly http://cardsbyshelly.blogspot.com/ and I knew I HAD to try it. I didn't have a flourish stamp for the tails so I thought I would change it up a bit and use jewelery wire :) I can't wait to do another card using these little guys!

My amazing and talented friend Jenn at http://myimajennation.blogspot.com/ helped me with the picture for the add. I'm telling you guys, she is super talented! She took a plain picture and turned it into ART :) She even designed the watermark! If any of you need to jazz up a picture for any reason you definitely need to aquire her services!!!

I just got this butterfly punch and started playing with it. I made the lavender ones first and sent a picture to my buddy Jenn and she immediately responded "you should sell them!!" so here I am, for the first time ever attempting to make a little money with my crafts instead of always SPENDING!! Hope everyone likes 'em!

Little Lady Frame

I just got done with this today. I love making these! They are super easy and they look amazing!! I made this for my cousin's new baby who has a ladybug nursary theme :) I really hope she likes it!!

*I used plain ol' cardstock for the cuts using the Opposites Attract cart for the letters and Doodlecharms for the ladybugs.

Friend Card

This is my first CuttleBug project :) I bought the stamp first and really wanted to try it out. Once I made the card I realized it reminded me of watermelon lol, so I thought this stamp was perfect for it!! Sent to an old friend of mine, hopefully she enjoys it!

Finished Step stool

So my Hubby suggested I put footprints on the top step and since that's where I keep Jr's tennis shoes so they don't get lost around the house, I thought it was perfect!

LEGO Cake

TA-DA!!! Here's the cake Jenn asked me to make for Austin's birthday. She got the idea for it online. I'm not sure from where, and I recreated it lol

LEGO Card

Today was Austin's Lego birthday party :) This is the card I made for him. I think it came out pretty cute. He seemed to like it lol and that's really all that matters...

A work in progress

I thought for my first attemp at vinyl, I'd start out with something small. I used the Mickey Font cartridge. I still want to add somthing on the top step but so far so good!! I also plan on sealing it so my little one doesnt decide he wants to peel the sticker lol

Peter Pan

I "made" this costume for my little boy last year. He looked soooo cute!! I made the shirt and the hat and dyed some tights green lol. I think this year he might look super cute as Pinocchio :)
