SCRAP-BO

A bunch of friends and I have taken the "bunko" idea and decided we need a Scrap-bo Night!  Actually it will be a day (10am-4pm)...but we don't need to get technical ;-).  I took it upon myself to be in charge of the game boards and prize baggies for the day.  I think they turned out cute for how quickly I put them together. 

Luckily I've been a good girl and saved my wrappers from when
I buy scrappy things...so I'm reusing a bunch of them for this project.  :-)

The base tags are a piece of cardstock cut at 6" x  4" and then folded in half.
The white cardstock is cut at 5" x 1 1/2".
Then I just ran a strip of adhesive along the inside of the folded base cardstock before
attaching it to the baggies...The baggies open at the bottom, so I don't need to worry about filling them first before putting the tags on.  :-)

I decided to make a "stickle" embellishment.  I used my Simply Charmed
cartridge and cut out the glue bottle.  I modified it a bit and am only cutting
out a few of the pieces so it looks just right.

It's not the straightest...but, the "scrapbo" title was cut from  the Jubilee cartridge
and I used the shadow button at 1 1/2" ...I added stickles to my
embellishment and now the prize baggies are ready to be stuffed. :-)

I hope our Scrap-bo Day goes well and that we all get a lot of scrapbooking done...we better, my Scrap-bo cards should keep everyone busy enough!  Happy Scrapp

Organized and loving it!!

I feel so much better!!  I went from a messy nook to a clean and organized nook in a matter of a day and now I feel like I can get some things done!!  Watch out hubby, I'm going to be spending a lot more time on the Cricut and in my scrap drawer!  <3 it!

Birthday Card

For this fast card I used a sheet of Doodlebug popouts.  I love how simple it was to throw together.  I hope the birthday teenager I made it for loves it as well!  :-)

Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful dads out there.

This is the card I created for my husband's dad.  

My daughter is learning quickly that she can be just as creative 

as Momma and she made a card for her Dada too.  

Christmas in June

 

Here are a few cards that I am mass producing for the holiday season.  They all say "Merry Christmas" inside.  I love how they all turned out.  I used my new Copic markers to color in the stamps... I love those markers!!

Lately...

 I am pleased to say that I have been very crafty lately...and my craft of choice has been card making.  I am also happy that they aren't all for myself to use.  My family and friends have taken a liking to my work and have been requesting some great creations.   

I like to stay crafty busy, so when my grandfather sent me a list of all the birthday cards he would need for the rest of the year I was excited for the challenge.  I am pleased to say they are finished now.   Unfortunately I forgot to take some pictures of my favorites.  I didn't use the Cricut for all of them and there were a few that I really liked...for example a garden scene made with buttons and ribbon.  Hopefully I'll be able to snag a pic or two when the birthday parties come along and I see the cards again ;-)

My grandma's birthday is today and my mom requested a basket or wheelbarrow or wagon full of flowers for her card.  I chose to put the flowers in a basket and I think it turned out great.  The "basket of flowers card", as I'm calling it now, quickly became a favorite of mine.  I think I especially like it because I love using brads.  I now have at least half a dozen of this card on hand just in case. 

Another event that I have needed a card for was my friend's baby shower.  She just had her baby girl (the shower was a few weeks ago and baby came early) and I made a fun card using my Cricut and the Baby Steps cartridge.  I loved it even more when I added buttons for the wheels.  :-)  I love to add the little touches to my creations.  

Faith...Trust...and Pixie Dust

In less than a month my baby turns 2!  I can't believe how fast the time has gone.  These are the invites to her birthday...My living room will be transformed into Pixie Hollow and Abby and her friends are going to have a Fairy Tea Party.  I'm so jealous of how awesome her party is going to be, I wish it was my birthday party!  Anyhow, I'm in the process of making the banners and decorations that I need to make everything perfect. :-)
