Smooth Sailing

Hey everyone.. wow yet again I have neglected my blog lol. Unfortunately, I won't be back into the regular swing of blogging for some time still. I just happened to have some time to write today. I've been busy with miss 4 year old and miss 2 (almost 3 and it breaks my heart) year old.. and redoing my craft room.. again!

Adam just finished making my desk a few months ago and stuff was going good... (the room wasn't complete yet) until I found a deal on craigslist and HAD to have it. So I got a super deal on white cube storage (about $4 per cube). I asked Adam to redo my room/ his office .. even though just months ago he said "are you sure this is how you want it? Because once it's done.. its done! And I will not be re doing anything you decide later you don't like"... well I asked anyway and he decided that my new idea was much better. So needless to say the room is a mess and I can't get to anything pretty much. And for the next few weeks it's only gonna be worse lol.

So today I have a little card I made real quick. The sailboat and anchor are both from Life's A Beach and were cut with my expression 2. The circle and scalloped circle are both from Cricut Craft Room Basics and were also cut with the expression 2. I embossed the red circle with my Cuttlebug and the Swiss Dots folder. After I adhered all of the parts onto the circles I put the entire sailboat in the circle on a pop dot. I ran some red velvet ribbon around the card and over the velvet ribbon some burlap twine which goes around twice and has a cute little bow. I hand wrote the sentiment.

Fluttering by card

I just finished up this cute butterfly card. I cut the butterfly from Best of 2008 Cricut cart but this cut is also found on the Home Accents cart. I just cut the base out of purple textured card stock. 

I outlined the wings with orchid twine from the twinery and used Caribbean for the body. I also added two dots of orcid to the wings and 4 dots of caribbean to the wings as well as a caribbean swirl to show that the butterfly was flying. 

The butterfly is on pop dots and the twine is all adhered with Zig glue (I used a fine tip pen).

The pink dot paper is from DCWV Nursery Baby Girl stack. The blue cloud paper is from Recollections and I cut the banner shape by hand and inked the edges in blue. I added the sentiment  stamped in black, love the stamps but never use them. The card base is white card stock from recollections.

Hope you found this as cute as I did :).

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).

MCCR Theme day Thursday - Cookies or Milk

Hey everyone! Today is Theme Day Thursday over at MCCR the our theme is cookies or milk. I chose milk :).

For my card I used the Cricut Imagine Cards Inside & Out cartridge. This card is ready to go all you really have to do is print and cut. I added some layers to the inside.

Now this is the inside.. I'm pretty sure I did it a little backwards from how the cartridge intended but thats ok. I made the cut out hole a frame for a pic of my girls. Since this card is for Adam I wanted that to be the first thing he saw :)

And this is the back of the card. Pretty simple I really didn't do anything other than print and cut the standard card and put the front on the inside lol. Hope you enjoyed this card.

Miss Ewe Card - Card Creating Tues MCCR

Hey everyone! Welcome to my blog.. today is Card Creating Tuesday over at My Cricut Craft Room.

I made this "miss ewe" card based on the sketch for this week. I used the Imagine More Cards cartridge. I print the whole image and one of just the sheep and put him on pop dots. The card is 6x12 (6x6 when folded) and the image is cut at about 4.5-4.75.

For the banner I used red bakers twine and strung it across the front corner and cut the little pennants with my paper trimmer and scissors they're about 1 in (give or take) by like 2 inches and the top part has ATG tape inside and is folded over the twine thats how it stays on.

I put it in an envelope and tied it with the same bakers twine and put a tag on it :)... then I gave it to my hubby :D.

Thanks for stoppin' by and have a great day!

IMAGINE ation Monday - You take the cake card

Hey everyone.. today is IMAGINE ation Monday with My Cricut Craft Room. Here is the card I made using my Imagine and the Yummy cart...

I cut the "You Take THE CAKE" image with the Yummy cart and layered it on purple card stock that I embossed with the Swiss Dots folder in my Cuttle Bug.

I inked around the edges of the blue card with purple chalk ink and topped it off with blue bakers twine bow.

For the inside I just cut out this cupcake (which I changed the wrapper pattern to a different pattern on this same cart).
