Happy Birthday!

this is a quick card for my youngest daughter Ashton :) I didn't actually have it done in time for mailing or personal delivery.

I used Elegent Edges (loops) for the matting and resized the project idea shown in the cricut book to a card from a 12x12 layout. I used CardzTv stamps for the sentiment cut into a banner. The image is colored with my Copics. I cut the image with my Silhouette.

Hedgies have a special place in her heart and one day she will have one! but for now, Penny Black supplies them :)

card stock is from stash as is the ribbon.

Happy Birthday Ashton!!
Hugs and Love, Mom

Easter Egg Parade

just a quick card I colored up with copics. The digi is from Hambo Stamps.com. I used the Close to My Heart Art Philosophy cartridge for the mat cuts at 3 and 3.25. The image is done with the center point feature of the cricut :) I used Elegant Edges for the little 1/2 inch  (x2 for each side) border pieces behind the mat and the ribbon came from Reasonable Ribbon. I think Mom will like this one :)  Oh and the sentiment stamps are from Stamps of Life

Bugaboo Birthday

It's been awhile, but today I had some time to put together a birthday card for my office mate. Her husbands birthday is New Years Day and she wanted a "fun" card. I got this image from Bugaboo Stamps. I used my new Expression 2 for the swirl/flourish on the inside from the Cricut Essentials that was pre-loaded. I did the snowflake cut from Accent Essentials at 4 3/4.
the Marquee Oblong (center point cut) is from Elegant Edges.I sorta winged the sentiment, but wished I hit Italic for the suit inside the card and put up for dress up.. oh well :/ I like it anyhow. The bling are from recollections.
Thanks for looking ;)

The card is a 5X7

Fall Leaves

a gypsy cut card I made.The leaves are cut directly out on the front of the card and then I backed them with different colored cardstock. I have to look up the details for the leaves,not sure which cartridge I used for them. The card stock is from stash :) The card is a 5 x 7; I used Elegant Edges for the mat the verse is on inside, that I found on the internet

Every Flower

this weeks D2D weekly challenge freebie

I used my Elegant Edges (pg 41 oblong) to cut a mat for the digi stamp. I made two cards and all I did was change the little buttons. The other papers are from a stash of scrap paper I have :)

New Home congrats

Ashton asked that I make her a card for a co-worker that just moved into a new home. This is what I came up with :)

I used:

Elegant Edges – circle border @ 3/4” and 1/2”, Beyond Birthdays – house at 1 1/2”,Club Scrap kit Blossom – card, stash –white card stock for houses and inside, jute ribbon from Really Reasonable Ribbon and twine from Ebay purchase(which might have come from Twinery I think). The card is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 standard.

I put the houses on foam tape for a bit of definition and slightly edged with distressed ink.

I really enjoyed this because I finally used some of the gorgeous papers I have from the monthly Club Scrap club I belonged ages ago!

a card for the shower and the gift

I had only a few hrs. to throw together a card for Ashton to put with her Bridal Shower gift to Lindsay that is on Saturday. The catch is that she is heading to Vermont with a few friends for 4 days tomorrow evening and had to get the gift to the other bridesmaid so she could take it.

I used a digital Hedgie I just bought from Dragonsmoore ! We LOVE HEDGIES!! The gift she bought is tons of yummies from Stonewall Kitchen. The crate came from AC Moore as well as the Hydrangea, which are Lindsay’s wedding colors :)

I colored the Hedgie with my Copics :)

I used Elegant Edges for the scallop border and the card is a 5 x 5

it all started ..

on my days off! July 18 & 19th

You know when you aren’t told a thing, then hear from the grapevine, then are told by the BIG Boss that nope, things will be this way, don’t worry about it!

Then you are told via email,(guess they have no .....!) that it will be a totally different way and is done on your days off as to avoid face to face.. I couldn’t help myself! this is going on the wall in the office :)

thanks for the vent :)
I colored this with my Copics and it is Stella from Bugaboo Stamps and the frame is fit to page size on Elegant Edge cartridge
