My Cricut Adventures

Where have I been?

2011-04-20T18:23:00.000-05:00

Well, I have been M.I.A for a while now, but I plan on posting soon. I have been in a creative funk for the past month or so. Everyday I walk by my crafting room and think I really need to get back in the swing of things.

Cold outside and stuck inside

2011-02-01T15:59:00.001-06:00

So work is closed today and I'm stuck inside, it is very icy out. I know we did not even get it that bad, so I decided to make a card today and get out of my creative funk. Today is one of my best friends birthday, so this is for her :)

Here is a pic of 2 of my dogs out in the ice, too bad it's not snow

Here is the card :-)

Birthday Invitations

2011-01-16T23:34:00.000-06:00

My moms friend asked me to make birthday invites for her youngest daughter, and this is what I came up with :

I uesed Creat A Critter cart for the Cupcake and cut it at 6 inches, used glitter for the cherry and for the eyes I used IRock.

The letters I used Beyond Birthdays and cut it at 3/4 inch

For the topper I forgot to write down what I cut that at :( But or the letters I used the Beyon Birthday cart and cut that at 2 inches and also used some stickes I got at WalMart.

To package it I used Transparent Archival Bags from Michaels and blue Paper Crinkle also from Michaels.

Welcome Prince Charming, baby card

2011-01-11T13:45:00.000-06:00

So my friend Christa had her baby on Sunday and I went and saw him yesterday and I threw together a quick little card for them.

Sending Love Your Way

I think this is my favorite card yet :)

Inital Note Card

2011-01-04T19:10:00.001-06:00

As a part of a gift for my friend I made her some note cards. It was something quick and easy to make:

For the card I used white cardstock it was a 8 1/2 x 11 and I cut it in half so I could get 2 cards out of 1 paper.

The center strip I cut it at 2in. and the paper came from a pack I got at Hobby Lobby the name is Ella Blue.

The paper with the inital is a blue piece of cardstock with rounded edges and a inital stamp done in black ink.

I also made envlopes to go with these and used my Martha Stewart Scoring Board. I am in love with it, it's a cool tool to have.

2010-12-24T01:48:00.000-06:00

So every Christmas Eve I work, so to be nice I always bake cookies for the servers, cooks and managers. This year I decided to be a little more creative with the packaging and this is what I came up with.

I hope everyone has a great Christmas :)

2010-12-15T21:27:00.000-06:00

I made this card for my friends daughter who has been in ICU for the past 2 weeks. Her name is Rachel so if you would like to say a prayer for her that would be awesome :)

I used the Creat a Critter cart and the Plantin School book cart.
The Whale is at 3 1/2 inch and the starfish is at 2 inches.
The letters are 1 1/2 inch.

Ok so now I decided to add glitter...

Thank You Card

2010-12-15T16:38:00.001-06:00

So I was bored last night and decided to make a thank you card, it's simple but I think cute too :)

For the paper I used a 12x12 piece from the Paris Nights collection pack, that I got at Hobby Lobby and I cut it in half so I could make 2 cards.

For the Merci I used black cardstock and the Beyond Birthdays Cricut cart and I cut that at 2 inches.

To make the Merci stand out, I used Foam Adhesive Mini Circles frm Recollections.

On the inside I used black cardstock for the left side and white cardstock for the right side.
