Bachelorette Party Card

A girl at work needed a card to take to her sisters bachelorette party. They are making a whole weekend out of it in Chicago. I've recently bought Forever Young and thought this would be a great cartridge to use for this card.

For this card I used the following Cricut Cartridges with my Gypsy:
Forever Young: Lady and "Ooh La La"
Jasmine: Bachelorette
The inside is computer generated.
Thanks for looking,

Cratfroom After

My second video. Just about as bad as the first. I definately should have used a tripod. I so love my new space. My new space is actaully a little smaller. But upstairs is so much nicer because of the light. The basement window was really small, so there was not a lot of natural light.

Well I'm hoping to do a card video soon.

Thanks for looking,

My first Video

My First Video...Not the greatest. I actually turned ti off while I was still talking (oops). This is my old craftroom in the basement before I moved it to the spare room upstairs. I will be uploading my second video of my new craft room upstairs at a later time.

Thanks for looking,

Ella's 4th Birthday

Ella Gracie and big bro David at her 4th birthday party. David doesn't get to see his half-sister very often because she lives 1 1/2 away. She wasn't really happy with her princess hat...

I wasn't really inspired while making a card for Ella. I used the same cuts and design as a previous card. I just changed some of the colors.

I used the following Cricut Cartridges with my Gypsy:

A Childs Year: Scalloped backgrounds (inside and out)

Storybook: Flower

Wild Card: Happy Birthday

Gypsy Font: Leaves

My first Just Becasue Cards Card (lol)

I needed a card for Garrett (David's cousin on his fathers side) and was not in a creative mood. So I used my new Just Because Cards Cricut Cartridge to make this card. As you can see in the picture I forgot the apostrophe in the "you're"... Oops!! Well he's only 9 so I don't think he noticed. But his mom probably did. Just makes it more of an original. Ok I'll stop now :)


Thanks for Looking,

Wedding card Scraplift...

I actually made this quite a while ago...I totally scraplifted it. I just wish I could find who I scraplifted it from. Whoever you are THANK YOU. I can't even find a picture of the original. A girl at work is getting married and I found this in my stash. The bottom right frame did not have anything in it so cut the wedding bells. Then I added pearls to the front of the card. I think the original also had pearls...


I used Stampin' Up cardstock and the following Cricut Cartridges:

Sweethearts: Weeding bells
Wild Card: Bride and Groom
Storybook: Frames

I also used my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Folder and a stamp

Thank you for looking.
