2011-12-18T15:33:00.000-08:00

I made these for my son's 12th birthday

2011-10-06T12:18:00.000-07:00

I made this journal for my daughters flute teacher as a Thank you gift.

The tabs are from the Cricut cartridge "From my Kitchen" Then I just printed the live, laugh, love from the computer.

This is a little pocket that I made for one of the tabs.

This is a photo mat for the last tab.

I made these cards on Saturday October 1st for National Card making day.

I think this pear one is one of my favorites that I've made, I used the Cricut Cartridge Home Accents for the pears & then finished them off with glossy accents 3d, I put it around the edge of the pears & on the seeds, the seeds look so real, I was very excited lol.

I used Cricut cartridge 4 legged friends Lite to make this card, I'm going to give it to my niece who is turning 17.

2011-10-06T12:07:00.000-07:00

I had so much fun making this card, I 1st embossed it with gold embossing powder, then I ran it through the Cricut Cuttlebug.

This card I made for my niece, it's a tri shutter card, simple to make but it looks pretty impressive I think

My new love is Destressed ink by Tim Holtz, it give such a neat effect when applied with a cotton ball!!

This a a Z fold card, I like to try all different card folds, just for something different once in a while.

This is a gate fold card I made for my daughter, the cup cake is from sweet treats cricut cartridge. I also added stickles & glossy accents on the cherry for a 3d look

This is my "junk journal", I just used a spiral note book I bought at Dollar Tree & covered it, the tabs I made from the Cricut Cartridge, From my Kitchen, the live, laugh, love are from the Cricut Cartridge Home accents. I added ribbon & 2 paper flowers with a brad in the center.

This card matches my journal.

Best gifts

2009-12-03T10:20:00.001-08:00

This is a card my 5 y/o made for her friend. It's from the HK cartridge.
We also made her friend this framed HK, then we etched her name into the glass.

The next day my 8 y/o got invited to a b/day party!! So this is what she chose to do.

I'm so into making these, as u can tell LOL (there's more in a older post too) I think they make a wonderful gift. This one is for my niece, who is 3. I wanted to give her something different for Christmas.

2009-11-02T21:22:00.000-08:00

My kindergartener had a "Special me" day @ school & she needed a poster, about things she likes etc this is what we came up with.
My 8 y/o needed invites, I was (am) going through a tag phase lol

I made this card using every day paper dolls, it was for my granddads birthday, he loves playing tennis.

While my kids had the flu they needed something to play with, so I made them a matching card game using the every day paper dolls cart. again with the cricut markers, we had to use colored pencils to color them in so it wouldn't show through the back when we layed them down.

My friend had a baby, so I made them this card. Again it's from EDPD.

Princess- U've been framed!

2009-11-02T21:16:00.000-08:00

I made this for my friends daughter who was turning 2, & ended up making 3 more after LOL, this is my newest thing, I just love how they turn out, to be honest it's an ego boost to me LOL

Snow White & other Princesses...

2009-08-14T19:42:00.000-07:00

My 2 year old wanted me to make for something, so here it is!! A 10.5" Hello Kitty with red stickles for her nose.

My 7 y/o wanted Jasmine, I used Stickles on her head center piece, earring, hair bands & necklace.

I put it these last ones in the wrong order LOL I always do that. So here's the bottom of Sleeping Beauty's dress, with stickles.

Close up of her face.

& the whole Sleeping Beauty (meant to be the 1st pic of these!!)

I made this for a friends daughter who was turning 2, I used stickles on her dress, head band, sleeve bands, the pink flowers & her name which is in the next picture. I made it so it would fit into a 10x13 frame.

Close up of her name.

Happy Birthday cards all around!!

2009-08-14T19:27:00.000-07:00

I've had to make alot of birthday cards this month.

These 2 I made for my nephew & a friends son, the truck was welded together with CDS @ 4" shadowed.

This card I had so much fun making, I just found a new love Stickles!! I made this for another friends daughter.

This camera card was again welded with CDS, I made it for my brother, who is trying to become a photographer.

This one was made for my sister, sometimes I like plain & simple!!

My mother in law needed a card for my niece, while she was staying with me, she was going to buy one, & I said not while u're staying @ my house LOL, so this is what I came up with.

This was again from Grandma for 1 of my nephews.

This was from Grandma again!! I ended up making 3 for her. (we have a whole bunch of end of July begining August birthdays) This is for the same nephew that I made the dumptruck card for.

Hubby's Grandma sometimes calls when she needs a card too!!! (it's getting around the family, that I make cards!! lol) So I whipped her up this one pretty fast, it's a Joy fold.

This was for my nephew, after making all the ones from Grandma I was running out of ideas, as they were for the same kids!!

New shirts

2009-07-03T19:19:00.001-07:00

2009-05-28T16:20:00.001-07:00

I'm having such a GREAT time doing this wedding book.

I made these bags for my preschoolers teachers. I filled them with candy, makes for a cheap easy thoughtful gift.

Too much fun!!

2009-05-25T09:34:00.000-07:00

This is the latest page I done in my wedding book.
This is how I get ready for the In laws coming to town!!!

I glass etched a dish for my MIL & someone asked me how to do it, so I done me another one & took pix & made step by step instructions for them, U can find that on my "how to" blog.

I feel bad the photo came out a little blurry, this was the last one I had to make for my friend.

Cards for my BIL & SIL, I LOVE the brown daisy paper.

I made these for a A-Z swap that I'm in, I signed up for letter M & D

I had a friend call & ask me if I could help her make a wooden sign, she was really pleased with how it turned out.

I got the Pooh & Friends cartridge for Mothers day, my kids each picked something to cut.This card was for another friend!! Her sister asked her to make baby shower invites, she didn't want anything too girly (even though she was having a girl) We chalked the "blanket" but it doesn't show in the pic.

I made this card for MIL, for Mothers day, she LOVED it!!! (I thought she would LOL)

This was Grandma's Mothers day card.

This card & tile I made for dd's teahcer, for teacher apprecition. She LOVED it & couldn't believe that I done the tile, it was a GREAT hit!!

Cards for my friend.

2009-05-14T10:53:00.000-07:00

I had a friend from back home ask me if I ever thought about selling my cards, I said "No" I don't think anyone would buy them, so she said I will & ordered 4!!! I have 3 done:

This one os for a Ruby wedding anniversary. I used vellum for the heart "paper" I then used Cricut DS to cut the sq in the middle, so I knew it was in the right place!! I'm really happy with how it turned it.

This is a card for her 6 y/o son, he LOVES golf.

This is one for her neice, it was fun to make, although it had tiny tiny peices!!

Plan of happiness

2009-05-14T10:48:00.000-07:00

We worked hard on this, but it was great fun, our daughter Allie is planning on getting baptized in October, so we have started teaching her some more of the things she needs to know b4 she does this. We're LDS (Mormon) & this is what we believe to be the plan of happiness or the plan of Salvation. This is the 1st lesson out of 6.

New Scrapping area.

2009-05-14T10:44:00.000-07:00

This is an inchie I made for a swap. I should have turned the flash off the camera, but it's too late now LOL.
This is my new scrapping area, I've had it a couple of months now, but I keep forgetting to post it!! I LOVE it, I have so much room, I could even have friends come play now & we don't have to be up in the kitchen to beable to work.

"Time" to get creative!!

2009-04-30T18:58:00.001-07:00

So I was checking out the message board one night & came across a post where someone had "redone" a clock, so I decided to try my hand @ it, I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

2009-04-14T19:20:00.000-07:00

I LOVE this page, I'm haivng a BLAST, making this book.

1999

2009-04-12T07:40:00.001-07:00

So I decided to try my hand at double page 12 x 12 LO's. I normally scrap on 8.5 x 11 & only on white cardstock & the I add color by stamping & adding die cuts, so I'm really changing my style to do this wedding book!! I thought it would be FUN to "redo" my wedding album.

Here are a couple of pages, that I've got done, I will add more as I get them done.

I used Storybook for this whole page, I just fell in love with the flower & butterflies.
The Font on this page is "wild card" the flowers are from George with embossed glue dots in the center, I then welding flowers to the "Laugh Often" which is from Beyond birthdays.

Too much fun with my new carts!!!

2009-04-05T13:40:00.001-07:00

I made this card (plus 5 others the same) for a "Girly girl" swap I'm in. The "mom" is holding a little baby, but u can't see it too good in the picture :(

I made this "get well" card, just for fun, now I'm waiting for someone to get sick LOL. I really just wanted to use the Hello Kitty cart, I bought it like a month ago & have only used it once!!

OK so this is my fav. post!! I got the Mickey font cartridge yesteday (04/04/09) The second my y/o dd saw it she just "had to have" these cuts. I have now put them into a 6x6 album for her, so they stay nice. I'm so happy with how they turned out.

I made this card for my BIL, I always have a hard time coming up with "guy" cards.

My 1st tile

2009-03-26T14:36:00.001-07:00

I made this tile the other day, because I need to teach a class on vinyl lettering, so I thought I better try my hand at it 1st!! I heard this saying at church a few weeks ago & just loved it. So here it is!! I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

Busy with Projects

2009-01-21T19:57:00.000-08:00

This is a card I made for my Sister-in-law, I really liked how it turned out, so I thought it's share it!

This is a bag I made for a friend for her birthday, I filled it with candy, it made a nice easy cheap gift, but looked like I'd put a lot of time into it. LOL

So for school Allie had to make a habitat for a stuffed animal that she had at home, she decided to make one for her Webkinz Penguin, so here it is:...

Bug head Jammies!!

2009-01-14T20:41:00.000-08:00

FUN FUN FUN

2008-09-01T18:57:00.000-07:00

I had real fun making this card, I think it came out so cute, the picture doesn't do it any justice!

Here's another one of the waterfall fold pages, I love doing these, this one is for my personal history, I have a picture of my hubby & I when we were dating and our family picture, then as u pull down on the waterfall, u will find, another pic of my hubby & I, the each of the kids in order.

This is a b/day card I made, just because I needed something to do!! I just my Cricut dye cutter for this card, I love that thing, I wish I could just spend my days making dye cuts! Although some people think that is all I do!!!

This is the inside of the card, I stamped inside the circle "happy birhtday" U can't see it in these pictures I I also inked with a mustard colored ink on the edge of all the white paper expect for the circle.

Another girl!, I got the order mixed up, I wanted to go from oldest to youngest, not the other way round, but I'm not changing it now.

Our son got baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints, in this church we let the child decide once they turn 8 if they would like to be baptized or not. This was actually his 8th birthday, it doesn't happen very often that a kid is able to be baptized on their actual b/day. We also gave our new 8 day old baby a name & blessing on the same day.

1st bath, I bought this stamp set just for this page, but I've loved it, I used it a lot in Hailey's book.

This says HOT, HOT, HOT
My hubby is a computer guru, so I thought it was so cute the 1st time she sat up by herself was to a computer.

I have no idea how she could sleep like that! Makes me hurt just looking at her.

This "Peek a boo" has a funny story, I left my hubby to watch our little one while I popped into another room, when I came back I couldn't see her, so I asked him "where's the baby?" He had no idea, she she'd gone, I started to panic even though I knew she wasn't far, then I noticed her under the saucer!
You really can't read this sorry, it says: 1 step, 2 step, made it.

Samantha

2008-08-05T21:03:00.000-07:00

WOW- what a big baby, 8lb 5oz she was the 2nd biggest, 1st being Ben.

She was meant to be napping, I thought it was so cute the way she was just laying there, eyes as wide open as they could be.

I had a little trouble with the flash!!

We had a dog for a short while, she loved him, now she's 4 & wants a cat!
Disney world

A new sister
Easter

Allie

2008-08-05T20:39:00.000-07:00

Here she is, Allie was born on 9/11/01!

A new sister, this page is stamped with bottles, binky's & a baby
1st day of dancing school

Allie really wanted a princess room, so when we moved into our new house, her wish came true, & daddy painted to scale a castle on her wall.

Disney world

The one with her on the bike was at the county fair.

She had a "crazy hair day" at school, it all had to do with the anti drug program, she got 2nd place out of all the kindergarteners!! WTG Allie.

Ben

2008-08-05T20:18:00.000-07:00

Some how the order got missed up, but anyway, these are a few of Ben's pages, the girls books are better, I figured being a boy he might not like all the "fun" stuff I add to the girls!

This was a field trip he took with his preschool, to the Logan fire house, at this time he really wanted to be a fire fighter.
This was a really fun primary activity, they "called" all the kids on a mission, Ben got to go to Finland. He was super excited as he got to wear his dads missionary badge for the day.
Now he wants to join the army! I think this is one of the only pages that's not on white cardstock!

The snowflakes are embossed, with silver embossing powder, super cute This is Ben at the Kennedy Space center.
MGM studios Disney world & back home, summer reading kick off party. They had the local high school's marching band come.
Last Christmas, this page has still to be finished, the Santa is way cute though.

Emma turns 18

2008-08-05T10:37:00.001-07:00

I made this card for my sister who is turning 18.

This is the inside, it says: If wishes were colors, know what you'd get? A rainbow of fun, and your best birthday yet. Happy 18th. I done each word in a color from the rainbow.

Fun Stuff

2008-08-03T17:20:00.001-07:00

I'm the den leader for scouts in the LDS church, along with scouts they do Faith in God, for the religious square knot. So as part of that I had them do this testimony page, I used the waterfall fold that I scrap lifted! I love doing this fold, it looks really cool, and when the boys pull on it down it will show them the 5 main points of their testimony.

These are card that I used the waterfall fold on, I missed up the order so this is meant to be the last one! not the 1st, oh well.

I inked the edges of the squares on these cards, I also added a 2nd square & used a Stampin' up stamp set.

Hailey's quiet time book

2008-08-02T21:44:00.000-07:00

I made this "quiet" time book for my 18 month daughter.I used doodlecharms for the pictures and Tear drop for the letters. I cut the paper to 4"x51/2" so it would fit into a small photo album. The pictures are 21/2" and the letters are 11/4" It was a blast making this, it did take a while as I had to glue each letter on. Now I just hope she likes it!!

For the hair on the boy I used the palm tree top!

The "splat" was a flower, but I thought it looked more like a splat, so there it is!

The Seals are the top of a cupcake, u can't see it too well here, but they have little eyes etc, they look really cute, I got the idea from someone on a Cricut forum, thanx, now everytime I look at the top of the cup cake I see a seal.

Oh what fun

2008-08-02T17:44:00.000-07:00

I was asked to do the board for the school starting this year, I never should have said that I had a Cricut!! But I had fun coming up with the idea.

I half scraplifted this & then added my own touch, inside it says "it's your day"
Oh what fun I've had since owning this machine. My scrapbooks are coming alive, my hubby likes it when I also use my rubber stamps as back grounds & I agree that they make the page. I only scrapbook on white card stock.
