Mickey Mouse!!!

This card was created using the Cricut Mickey and Friends Cartridge.  

Mickey as well and the stars and swirls were all from the same cartridge.

Mickey was cut out at 5.5" the stars and swirls were cut at 1".

Our family went to California on Spring Break.

We visited Disneyland and California Adventure Park.  

While we were there we made some new friends and I wanted to send them a thank you.

My son came up with the sentiment...he is really good at that!!!

There is a simple Thanks... on the outside

and the inside says ...For making us "The Happiest Family on Earth!!!"

SVG Sites!!!

I found some fun new SVG sites that are really cute and thought I would share them with you!

Paper Piecings by Nikki

and

Miss Kate Cuttables

They are my two new favorites, check them out!!!

Toy Story Jessie!!!

This card was made using an 8 1/2 x 11 sized card.  

Jessie is from the Cricut Cartridge Toy Story!!!  

I find that with the Disney Cricut Cartridges the bigger they are, 

the easier they are to put together!

I cut Jessie at 10.36" and used my gypsy to weld the teeth and lips together 

to create my own mouth.

The pants are from coordinations paper, 

on the chaps the white is glittered and the black is flocked.  

The hat is glittered as well and pop dotted to create a little dimension. 

 Jessie herself is also pop dotted to the card!!!

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!!!! ;)

Happy Sweet Sixteen

I can't believe that my daughter is sixteen years old today!!!

Where did all the time go?

Her party this year is zebra with hot pink accents so I thought 

I would make a card along the same lines!!!

The zebra is from the Cricut Cartridge Create a Critter.  I used my Xyron and ran the zebra through upside down, attached the white and then flocked the rest of the black!  I love fuzzy zebras! :)  The embossing on the pink is from a Cuttlebug folder called Juli's Garden.  I attached some bling to the center of the flowers with my Imaginisce I-Rock.

Happy Birthday Sis!!!  Love you!!!

Thanks Matey!!!

This card actually came together pretty quickly!

I used my Cricut Imagine (that I have not used FOREVER) and the Cartridge Buccaneer.

I created my pirate at 5.5 and separated the shapes so that I could attach them with pop dots and create some depth.  The face, hat and boots are all cut separately and attached.  The background (skulls) was cut at 6.0 and then trimmed to 5.75" square, I used the square stock photo on the imagine and then filled it with the skull pattern on the cartridge.
I added a little twine to the bottom of the card and a sentiment and attached the pirate with more pop dots.

(a little info...I hadn't used my Imagine for so long when I tried to print I was getting funky colors, I tried cleaning the print heads, but that didn't help.  I ended up taking out my printer cartridges and cleaning the bottoms with some rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and it worked like a charm.  Just a heads up!!!)

Sweet Sixteen Birthday Invite

Here is an invite I created for my daughters Sweet Sixteen birthday party!!!

The idea for the this Double Accordion Gatefold card is from Joy's Life.  It is kinda fun, you slip of the pink bank with the bling on it and the card open to reveal the info for the party!!!  

Cinderella Valentine

This Valentine was for my Princess (aka daughter).

This cute SVG is from Paper Piecings by Nikki.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the SVG and my Cuttlebug to emboss the flowers in the background the folder is from the Once Upon a Princess set.

I have entered this project in the Challenges 4 Everybody #13 - Anything Goes

Batman!!!

Made this Valentine for my DH!!!

Who doesn't love a man in uniform!!! Right???

This is a full 12x12 card using the Cricut Cartridge Batman: The Brave and the Bold.  The burst in the background is from the Cricut Cartridge Best of Pixar.  I used my Gypsy to help me set up the card.  My DH is a super hero to me... so I thought this fit for Valentine's Day!!!
