Birthday Party!!!

My daughter's Sweet Sixteen party!!!

Here is the treat table!!!

I made this sign with Vinyl using my gypsy.  I used the Cricut Cartridges Elegant Edges and Blackletter.

The idea for the lipstick and the cute cupcake shoes came from the book Cupcakes, Cookies & Pie, Oh, My!

My lipstick didn't turn out as fabulous as theirs did, but it wasn't too bad!!

I loved these cupcakes!!!  They weren't hard to make at all!!!  Soooo much fun!!!

Here's a side view of the cupcakes!!!

Both pink and white!!!

And last, but not least, the finger nail polish brownie pops!!!  These probably caused me the MOST headaches, but they were definitely worth it!  They were a party favorite!!!

I used the Wilton Brownie Pop pan.  I got it at Michael's using my 40% off coupon.  It is 9.99 originally.  If I had to do it again I would buy two so that I always had one in the oven instead of waiting!!!  There is a MAJOR learning curve with these, at least there was for me :)!  I threw out as many as I used.  It is a lot to type here, but if anyone is interested let me know and I will share my hard earned secrets!!!! ;)

With Deepest Sympathy

I created this card using the Elegant Edges and the Indie Cricut cartridges.  I used my gypsy to format the sizes of the background (Elegant Edges) and to determine the size of the butterfly (Indie) to best fit the card.  The sentiment is printed off of my computer and punched out using EK Success Photo Labels punch!  The printed paper is from SEI.

Missionary!!!

I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and when our young men turn 18 they can serve a mission if they choose!  I made this card for a young man in our ward (congregation) that has been called to serve in Africa!

This card is a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card, a little different from my 6 x 6! ;)  I was inspired by Mary at Cardz TV.  The black background is cut at 5 1/4 x 4 and the pattern background is cut at 5 x 3.75.  The rest of this card was designed using my Gypsy (mostly so I could do it on the couch with my 3 year old, instead of in my craft room, where he is usually causing havoc :/).  The shaped backgrounds are from the Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge.  The black was cut at 4.65 x 3.20 and the pattern at 4.40 x 2.95 and are attached with pop dots.  The shirt and tie are from the Simply Charmed Cricut Cartridge.  The collar   and tie are attached using pop dots.  I love that I can save this on my Gypsy to use for future missionaries!

Always Remember

I decided to make little signs to place at the headstones of my ancestors that we visited this year on Memorial Day.  Just a little something to leave behind to show that they are remembered by those who have followed them.  Since my grandmother's passing two years ago, I have felt the responsibility of remembering those who have gone before.

 On each sign my family records the number of generations away we are from the person whose headstone we are placing it by.  For example at my great-grandparents grave it would be 3rd/4th generations.  The furthest back we have in this area is 5th/6th generations ago.  Kinda fun!!!  My kids have really enjoyed tracing the names back and finding their link.

I forgot to print one without our families last name so I used white out, sorry I know it doesn't look real great.  I used Stampin' Up colors Real Red, Whisper White and Brilliant Blue to create this project.  The shape is from my Cricut Cartridge Elegant Edges.  The shape is cut at 4" using the center point feature on my Cricut, the shape is swirl found on the top row, button 5 using the shift button and the oblong creative feature.  The shadow cut using Real Red is 4 1/2".  

I am entering this project in the following challenges:
