Love Roo Valentine

Made this adorable kangaroo valentine for my three year old!!!

This was a free SVG from Little Scraps of Heaven!!!  Isn't this little kangaroo adorable.  I cut it out on my Silhouette Cameo, inked it with my Stampin' up ink (Crumb Cake), embossed it with Paper Studio embossing folder (Tiny Hearts) on my Cuttlebug, added some twine and edging (Fiskars) and there you go!!!  All paper used is from Michaels Recollections (Red, Kraft, Black).

Valentine Bee Goodie Bag

I cut this cute little bee from the Cricut Create a Critter 2 Cartridge. The cute little bee was cut at 3' and I used Michael's Recollection Paper Packs Cape Cod and Pink Buttons.  I glittered up her antennae to spice it up a bit.  The embossing was done using my Cuttlebug and The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby) Embossing folder Tiny Hearts.  The sentiment is from My Pink Stampers Buggie Punnies set.

Monsters!!!

I just couldn't resist!  My little three year old niece had a Monsters Inc. Birthday Party and I just had to make her a Disney Monsters Inc. card. :)

Sulley is from the Cricut Cartridge Best of Pixar and he was cut at 11.60",  yes this is a 12 x 12 card!  It has a monster on it, it needed to be BIG!!! :)  Sulley's fur is cut from Core'dination cardstock and is textured.  The other papers used were from Michael's Recollections cardstock (Cool Water & Cape Cod).  Sulley's belly is smooth cardstock and his spots have been flocked with Doodlebug's Lilac Flock.  His horns have Tinsel Glitter on them (I got this cheap at Michael's in their dollar bin 4/$1).  His eyes and nose are covered with Glossy Accents and his teeth have Stickles on them.  That is one thing I loved about this card, it has LOTS of texture!  The background paper is from a DCVW Glitter Pack I have had for ages!

Pitter Patter Afghan

I decided to try my hand at another afghan.  Although I have made a few I have given them all away as gifts, so I decided I would make one for my three year old.  

I found this fun pattern and a video on you tube.  Here it is.  It was a really simple afghan and started with a granny square that you just keep adding to.  I made mine a little bigger than the video because my little guy is getting big!  Trouble is now my 15 and 12 year old think that they need one too!!!  That is a much bigger project...we will see...I just finished making all of them tie blankets from fleece.  The only place I was able to find the yarn in the video was at Wal-Mart.  They didn't have the big balls of yarn so I had to buy many smaller ones.  I am very much a novice at crocheting so please don't look too close!!! :)

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!

Birthday Owl

This card was created using the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge.  The owl was cut at 5.5".  All the cardstock is from Stampin' Up and the color combo's are Rich Razzleberry, Daffodil Delight, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point!  All edges were inked with coordinating ink.  The branch was cut from the Cricut Cartridge Hoot 'n Holler at 3.24",  I only used 3 of the 4 layers, and the colors used there are Early Espresso, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green.

The background is Daffodil Delight and was embossed using the Cuttlebug folder D'vine Swirl.  I then inked the embossing with a Daffodil Delight ink dauber.

The sentiment on the inside of the card is from the Pink By Design Set You're a Hoot!  I have attached a link where I bought mine, if you're interested!

Halloween Treat Bags

Wow!!!  It has been forever!  Life suddenly got VERY busy!  I thought with two of my three children in school things would slow down...not so!  I hope winter will bring a slower pace (yeah right!).  My husband and I also took a trip back east to Rhode Island, just the two of us, it was soooo fun.  It was business for him, but I got to play!!!

It felt so good to get back to crafting!  I made some Halloween treat bags to take around to a few ladies that I go to church with, and here they are!

I tried to throw these together quick late last night, but I must be out of practice because it was not quick!!!  But I enjoyed every minute!  The patterned paper is from DCWV Fall Glitter stack and the rest of the paper is scraps from my stash.  The cute candy corn is from Paper Piecings by Nikki and was cut on my Silhouette at 3".  I tried to make the cute faces like Nikki's but it was a NO go!  I finally ended up using my Peachy Keen Stamps - The Cornies 1 1/8".  I also used My Pink Stampers Happiest Moments stamp set for the "Happy Halloween" sentiment.

Here they all are together!!!  I used Candy Corn, Indian Corn and 

Caramel Apple Taffy!!!  Happy Halloween!!

Another cute SVG from Treasure Box Designs!!!

I cut this out using my new Silhouette Cameo!!! Yay!!!!  The paper and ink used for this card is all from Stampin' Up!  The color combo is Melon (Melon Mambo), Rind (Old Olive and Certainly Celery), Bear (Soft Suede) and Background (Tempting Turqouise).  The embossing in the background was done using my Cuttlebug and an embossing folder from the Once Upon a Princess 4-pack.  I think she may need a bow!
