I needed to make a card for a co-worker who lost a family member.  This is what I came up, I love how it turned out.  The card was made by using an 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of paper folded in half.  I needed to make it large enough for several people to sign on the inside.  The flowers were made by using a method I learned from watching two different

Here is another page from our Disney World trip.  This is the page where I show the pictures of us on our plane ride to Florida.  I wanted this page to look like the outside of a plane and used silver paper then added eyelets to make it look like rivets on a real plane.  The line in the middle is just drawn with a black pin.  The white piece of paper at the top left

For our 10th Wedding Anniversay my DH and I got to go on a cruise (without our children!). I made a scrapbook of our trip, here is a picture of the outside of the album. I was able to find a scrapbook with a shadow box on the front.  Unfortunately the picture does not demonstrate the dimensions you get by using a  shadow box to create this. It is really hard to tell from this

I have a great friend who recently went on a cruise, so for her birthday I made a book for her to organize all of her travel documents.  This is the front of the book, I used cereal boxes to make the pages and covered them with paper from a beach themed packet that I purchased at a Big Lots store a long time ago. I wanted to make the book a size that would easily

This is a card I made for someone who loves purple and who lives in an old Victorian style house.  I used the Heritage cartridge from provo craft and chose the hat design.  I cut it at 3 1/2 on black cardstock.  The background paper was cut at 5 1/4 X 4, the paper that I used was double sided, so I cut 1 1/2 inches off of the bottom and turned it over to have a matching design on

This is a birthday card I made using my Hello Kitty cartridge from Provo Craft.  I will no longer buy any Cricut cartridges because I dislike what Provo Craft has done to the makers of Make the Cut and Sure Cuts A Lot, but I will use the ones I currently have as long as possible. I cut Kitty at 3 inches, but that size does make some pieces very small and hard to work with.  I actually

Here are a few pics of the folder I created to organize our travel documents for our upcoming cruise. I took two Vera Bradley folders that someone gave me and placed one inside the other.  I then bound them with my Zutter and created a flap out of blue and brown cardstock and used velcroe as a way of closing the folder. Here is the flap opened. Here is the inside.  The right

Another Disney World trip page, I am warning you that I will have several posts on this trip.  I really enjoyed creating this page for our pictures from the Bear In The Big Blue House show.  I wanted to create something that resembled the Big Blue House.  To create the look of siding I ran some blue paper through the crinkle tool (I really don't remember what the tool is

I made this cute card for my twin sister on her 50th Birthday.  What a big milestone for her!  Since she and I both love Hoops and YoYo I knew she would love this card.  I found this great cut file at Mardenz, you really should check out her website, she has a lot of great cut files and is always happy to create one for you if you ask!

Today my office is closed due to an ice storm that hit the Indianapolis area, so I am catching up and making two posts! Here are some treat boxes that I made for my son to give to his teachers for Valentines Day.  I wish I could take credit for creating these adorable boxes but I got them from Denise at Paper Pastimes.  Here is a link to the video she made showing

Here is another post on my Disney World trip scrapbook.  This trip was such a big deal, I decided that I would splurge and hire a limosine to take us to the airport.  The picture that my husband took of me and the kids in front of the limosine at the airport had to be done on a special page, so I decided to create a Magic Pumpkin and place us inside of the pumpkin.  I

On our trip to Disney World we saw the Stanley stage show.  I decided to put the pictures from this show in a "book" that resembled the book that Stanley uses to get answers to his questions on his show.  This is what I came up with.  On the show, his book only has the A, B & C tabs, so I only included these three tabs on my book.  I created the Stanley doll  with my

Here is the cup I came up with for my Tea Pot.  I am not completely happy with it.  It looks lopsided to me, but I made it for my mom and Moms love anything their kids make for them don't they???  Even if their kids are parents themselves! I just made the pattern for the cup by hand and used small strips of paper left over from my tea pot to put a pattern on the cup.  The

Here is a birthday card I made for my niece who loves bears.  When you open it, there is a shadow box inside.  To make this card I cut a piece of cardstock at 5 1/2" X 12".  I then scored it at 4", 7 3/4", 8" and 11 3/4". I used the Creative Memories oval cutters to cut the oval shape out for the shadow box.  This is cut in the middle of the 8"  score line and the 11 3/4"

Here is a tea pot I made with a cut file I purchased from My Time Made Easy.  Here is the address,  http://mytimemadeeasy.com/.  Just search under the store for Tea Pot and you will find it listed there. I created the knob on top from strips of left over paper.  I made two circles and joined them together at opposite directions.  I just love how it turned out and plan to

I finally used that vinyl I purchased several months ago and made some wall art for the house.  This is my finished project.  It only took a couple of hours to complete and I love how it turned out! I used SCAL and DS to make this project.  The medallion and the swirls came from the Home Accents cricut cart and the letters were all done in SCAL.  The font I used for the words

My husband and I went on a cruise to celebrate our 10th Wedding anniversay.  I took pictures of our room and wanted a unique way to scrapbook these pictures.  I decided to create "portholes" that you could open and see the room.  Here is what the page looks like. To create the "metal' around the windows I just used gold foil paper and used my Creative Memories circle cutters, it

Here is a birthday card I made for my sister-in-law. When I sat down to do this I was in the mood for some serious "bling" and I just couldn't stop adding it.  I started out using the Wizard  from Cricuts Paper Doll Dress Up cart, cutting it at 4 inches (a calculation error I will explain later).  The blue paper used to make the hat and gown is DCWV glimmer

Here is a birthday card I made for a friend.  It also fulfills the requirements for a My Pink Stamper Challenge. The bird was cut at 3 3/4 inches from the Create A Critter cart.  I just  used some left over paper for the bird and the background.  I popped up the bird and also popped up the wing for more dimention to the card.

There is a challenge on the Pink Stamper website to do something with an envelope, so here is my idea.  We took a family vacation to Disney World and had a blast. I wanted to scrapbook the cards that we used that week as room keys, proof of meal plan etc.  I decided to display them by creating an envelope out of vellum so you could see the cards through the envelope.&

I am sorry for not posting anything for a couple of weeks now, but I have been busy with the kids sports and adjusting back to the school schedules. I hope to get back to regular posts starting this weekend!I just wanted to let you know that I found this great blog today. It is called Penny Duncan Creations.

Here is a card that I did for the Pink Stamper Challenge of making a winter theme project. I used the Everyday Paper Dolls cart to create the girl and I used the sign from Walk In My Garden cart. The snow is just some left over fuzzy white material that I had. I chalked a few clouds in the sky on my blue background paper.

Here is another explosion card that I made. It was a birthday card for my Mother-In-Law who loves to garden. Unfortunately this is not a card that you can throw together in just a few minutes, but I think it is really really cute! This is the outside. Here is the inside of the lid. I used the same paper as I did on all my other explosion cards, K & Company Berry Sweet. This is the opened card. I
