Hello friends! I hope you are all having a fabulous weekend. I just spent 3 days at my Grandma's house, which is about 2 hours away. We recently lost my Grandpa & they had been married for 70 years! Pretty amazing, huh? Well, needless to say, my Grandma is pretty lonely without him so it's very important for us all to make an effort to spend time with her. We had a lot of fun but I'm glad to be home.... I missed my doggies! (oh yeah & my husband too, lol).

I made this card using a new cartridge from Anna Griffin & I just love all her cartridges. I pretty much love everything she does though. My husband gets really scared every time she's on HSN, lol. I don't really have anyone specific in mind to give this card to but I loved the design & just had to make it.

SIZE:  5 x 7"
CRICUT:  Expression 2
CARTRIDGE:  "Bridal and Baby Soirées"
MANUAL DIES:  Cuttlebug machine; Lawn Fawn "Large Stitched Circle Stackables"
PAPER:  CTMH cardstock
STAMP SET:  Craftin Desert Diva's "Simply Said"
INK:  CTMH Exclusive Inks "Glacier"
OTHER:  Recollections mini pearls; Smooch Pearlized Top Coat; 3M foam tape

Happy Flippin' Birthday

Ha ha! Get it?.... It's a flip card! Actually I think it's called a swing card but oh well. The pun was too good to pass up. Anyway, hello my crafty friends! I hope you are having a lovely Sunday. It's sunny, warm & beautiful here in Northern Cali. As I mentioned in my last post, I'm cool with the sunny weather but I really love the rain & cold. Weird, right? I don't know why. I've just always been that way.

Moving on.... this card was for our friend/neighbor for her birthday a couple days ago. It was so easy & quick to make that I felt like I should do more stuff to it. Does anyone else do that? I feel like it's not complete unless I fuss over it obsessively, lol. I managed to resist the urge this time & left it alone (pretty much).

SIZE:  5 x 7"
CRICUT:  Expression 2 & Gypsy
CARTRIDGE:  "Artfully Sent"
PAPER:  Echo Park
OTHER:  Recollections mini pearls & gem

Thank you so much for visiting & have an awesome day!

Happy Spring!

Hello my crafty comrades! I hope you are all having a lovely week. We got some much needed rain here in Northern Cali, which was doubly awesome because I love the rain! Sunshine is nice but rain is my thing. However, I do love a good girly froo-froo Spring card. Today's card was made sans Cricut, if you believe that nonsense! I felt like doing something different. I even made my own background paper!

SIZE:  A2
PAPER:  CTMH cardstock "White Daisy"
STAMP SETS:  Echo Park "Happy Little Moments"; My Pink Stamper "Happiest Moments"
INK:  VersaMagic chalk ink "Pixie Dust", "Sea Breeze", "Aloe Vera"
RIBBON:  Doodlebug Boutique Trims
OTHER:  Fiskars Paper Edgers & corner rounder; Doodlebug Boutique Buttons; Pebbles Candy Dots "Crystal White"; 3M foam tape
