MCCR Letter L - love card



The MCCR letter of the day is "L" so I used Sweethearts and Old West carts to make a card that says Love (which starts with L).


I cut the letters out with Old West in light pink. Embossed them with swiss dots and the cuttlebug, and then inked with silver ink. I cut out some different sized rectangles in gray (2 different shades) and embossed one with divine swirls and inked with silver ink, and inked the other around the edges with pink ink. I cut a large rectangle in pink (just a little smaller than the card) and embossed with swiss dots and inked with pink.


For the inside I cut some rectangles in dark pink and light pink and inked each with silver ink. I adhered the dark pink on both sides and bottom (leaving the top open to form a pocket for a gift card, money, check etc.) and put the light pink on top of that. I wrote a message in silver ink on the light pink.


My fav part of the whole card is the blinged out ring. This card was a wedding card so the ring was perfect for the "o". I used sweethearts to cut the ring and cut it in white. I added clear/white stickles to the diamond and yellow to the ring base. I love the color combo. I sent this to my friend who just got married (they had a country style wedding hints the old west font).

To see the rest of the MCCR DT's projects please go to MCCR and check em out!

Wanted Sign





I made this awesome Wanted sign for my nephews 4th birthday party.. (cowboy themed) And it was used as a photo prop.. we held it up and took pics of the kids inside it... along with mustaches, which I also made and will show you on another day!

My lil Harmony... Wanted for being too super adorable
My lil Jayden... wanted for being ridiculous lol

And of course the Birthday boy.. Gryphon :) Wanted for getting too old :(

I used a cardboard box (my husband cut it for me) and I cut the letters and numbers from the Old West cart in brown card stock. I adhered it to the sign where I wanted it. Then I inked around the edges with dark brown ink to make it look all you know.. old lol!

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

New carts on the way!

The other day I was so excited I forgot to tell everyone that Cricutmachine.com was having a great sale 50 different carts for $19.95!! Anyway I think it's over now but they'll have another sale and i'll let you all know when. Anyway, it was such a great deal I couldn't pass it up.. But I had already wayyyyyy over spent my scrapbooking budget (Adam limits me to $40 a month.. thow it never seems to work out for him lol). Adam ended up letting me get 3 carts (he said I could spend what I thought I would make off the 2 carts Im selling on my Etsy. So I got Happy Hauntings, Once Upon A Princess, and Old West all for $19.95 each!!!! What a great deal! So those are in the mail!

Last night while working on my card for the Caring Hearts Card Drive Blog Hop I'm participating in on Saturday (BTW you may wanna come check it out its for a very good cause and I'll be giving away my very first blog candy! hope you join in on the fun!) I ran out of ATG glue :( bummer... But since Im making the cards for a good cause Adam has decided to let me spend more again and buy some refills! Even better than that... Adam thinks its such a good cause that he has decided to help me make a few cards to send as well! How sweet :).

And Adam signed me up for a handgun safety class on saturday (as well as him on sunday) and we are both looking for some volunteer work.. we're thinking meals on wheels.. we'll see. So, this is a jam packed weekend.. not to mention I wanted to take some super cute pics of Jayden in the studio this weekend with her pumpkins. Eh.. we'll see how it all goes hopefully well.
