I am super excited to get to learn all the cool things about this little machine! I still kept my Cricut and all the carts because I can make my word books with the Cricut. <br />
<br />
This card, I made for my husband! He has been off on vacation since 7/30. He goes back on 8/13. I wanted him to know how much I love him and think he is well.....awesome! <br />
<br />
The silhouette cut out the words beautifully and effortlessly. I picked a lighter purple with the darker purple in the back so I could write a sentiment inside. I added some glitter to the star. <br />

You can find the tutorial <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmculp_tz74&list=FL_b4TvWW6Sm_kVcltQsjZ6Q&feature=mh_lolz">here</a>. Dawn's easy to follow instructions makes this card extra fun to make! I used a flourish stamp that I had and finished off the card with stickles (diamond). <br />

I love making them. They are a lot of work but a lot of fun to do. This book is my favorite one that I have created. <br />
<br />
My client's daughter is name PIPER. She wanted to have a book showcasing Piper's first year of life. I had a lot of photos to work with so that made my job easy. <br />
<br />
I used the DCWV Nana's Nursery Baby Girl Stack. I also used Cordinations Paper. I added some ribbon from Walmart. I added stickers and embellies to complete this sweet book! Here are some pictures. <br />

I decided that I wanted to try out my BIC/Sharpie markers (the poorman's Copic) to color in the stamped image on the card. I think I will need to get the fine tip version as well but I like the look of the card. Jayden likes purple and pink and butterflies. <br />
<br />
This is a 5.5 x 5.5 inch card. I made the sentiment on the computer and glue it down to look like a banner. I finished off with a pink bow. <br />

Hope everyone is having a great day! <br />
<br />
Manly cards are not (or a lot of peoples') favorite card to make. So, I was totally surprised when this card popped up in my head and I am happy at the way it turned out! <br />
<br />
I made an easel card. They are super easy to make! You can find the directions <a href="http://just-a-scrappin.blogspot.com/">HERE</a><br />
<br />
I used the Man stack from DCWV and the Handy Man Cricut Lite Cart. I had to a tiny bit of bling. Can't say no to bling! <br />
<br />

<br />
This is a standard A2 size card (4.25 x 5.5). I used cordinations paper. I also used the Create a Critter Cricut Cartridge (say that 5 times fast). I used a scallopped border punch and inked the edges with TH distress inks. I completed the card with a knot and some pearls. <br />
<br />

You can find it <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M51UKXEx7Bw">HERE</a> The idea was originally for Split Coast Stampers. <br />
<br />
The papers are from DCWV Crafty Stack. I used Lacy Labels for the center die cut. I also used one my new stamps from the dollar bin at the craft store. Some bling and a olive green ribbon for the final touches. <br />

I wanted to share my new friends that I made.....I actually made them....hahaha....I started to make this project before my youngest son, Matthew was out of preschool. I wanted to make a "Career Book" for the kids to look at. I never finished project but I am bound and determined to finish this project. Here is what I have made so far.....<br />
<br />
I used "Everyday Paper Dolls" Cricut Cart and Peachy Keen Stamps for the faces. I also added some stickles when needed (and they are ALWAYS needed!)<br />
<br />

It has been busy at our house....My oldest son, Jacob lost his first tooth (well, naturally....there was an escalator incident in 2008 in which he lost 4 teeth but we aren't counting that, people!) He is very excited for the tooth fairy to come! <br />
<br />
On to my card that I made....Jacob got some super cool shirts from his Aunt and Uncle and I wanted to make a card for him to write a thank you note. When I was at the craft store the other day, I found all these cool $1 stamps that I loved! <br />
<br />
T'he papers are DCWV. I also used the "Stars" embossing folder and some TH distressing inks for the star. I used red ribbon and some pop dots! <br />
<br />

I have to admit that I went through a dry spell. "They" say that every artist goes through one but my was especially long. I tried to make cards and what nots recently and ended up in the trash because it wasn't "perfect". But what is perfect anyway? I looked at my past scrapbooking and cardmaking magazines for inspiration. I decided to go to my craft and sit there, think, and make something. I promised myself that I wouldn't throw away anything that I made and I would post pictures....<br />
<br />
The first card is a card lift from "Creating Keepsakes" magazine. I can't tell you the month/year of the issue because I tear my pages out of the magazine and put them in a binder. The papers are DCWV and the "You're beautiful inside and out" stamp is from....I don't know....it was in my "friends" stamp bin. I used TH distressing inks and I used my polka dot cuttlebug folder for the embossing. I also used fiskars scallopped edge punch And a brown bow for the finishing touch<br />
The card is a 9x4 inch card and will fit in a legal size 10 envelope. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nfp0zNZ61Ts/Tijx6oPwFlI/AAAAAAAAAJY/t71HaLnW9hg/s1600/IMG_2451.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640px" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-nfp0zNZ61Ts/Tijx6oPwFlI/AAAAAAAAAJY/t71HaLnW9hg/s640/IMG_2451.JPG" t$="true" width="480px" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div align="left">The next card is a smaller A2 size card (4.25x5.50) I used TH distressing inks, Cuttlebug folder (polka dot), DCWV paper (the friends panel) I used the Cricut "lacy labels" for the frame in the back. The same stamp for my stamp bin and a pink bow on the side for an added touch. </div><div align="left"><br />

I wanted them to look similar to the invites so I used the same paper and embossed the cordinations paper. <br />
<br />
This card is called a Tri-fold pocket card. I learned how to make it from the ever so talented Dawn (from Youtube). She is amazing and very easy to follow. Click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfT4kaDwjKc">here</a> to learn how to make one. <br />
<br />
Here is my interpretation of the card. <br />

I thought it was so very confusing. Well, yesterday, I didn't to give it another try but with a different "teacher". It did take me longer than the average Joe but once I got the hang of it, it was pretty simple. I love the concept of the double slider card! <br />

I made this for my WW leader. She was so helpful my first week (I started yesterday). Besides, I wanted to make a card really bad. My craft room is such a mess but I couldn't wait to clean it up to make a card! If I did, I would NEVER make anything! Ha! <br />

I didn't think I would have a use for it since I am the mom of two boys and a Star Wars Cartridge would be better for this house (Hey Provo Craft, are ya listening?!) But I found that there are so many purses on this cart and I love it! <br />
<br />
Now before you take a gander, please keep in mind, I am very, very, mechanically challenged. I can't put together kits, paper crafts, etc. So, this, my friends is an accomplishment! <br />

I ran the middle part of the flower through my Xyron and then glittered it up! I also inked the leaves and the remaining flower and added a bling to it. It is perfect for a couple of Hershey's Kisses inside! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
