Old West/ Room Sign




This is a wall hanging I made for a friend who needed a gift with a western theme. The cuts are from Old West and I used Tim Holtz Distress inks as well as grungeboard. I kept it all monochromatic so that is doesn't clash with the décor she already has. I also used a little felt to give it some texture on the boot and playing cards. I really enjoyed making it and hope she likes it also! TFL!!

Woot Woot!!

Thank you to Audrey for my 1st ever award, you are so kind!! Please visit her awesome blog at Cute and Some to get some inspiration and have some fun with challenges!!

Mini Album/ Create a Critter, MM, TBBM, Gypsy Font, Cuttlebug














Back in April I was fortunate enough to win some blog candy from the ladies at BBTB2. One of the prizes was this yummy birthday paper stack that I was able to use on a gift for a little friend. I loved the papers and incorporated them to this mini book with lots of dies, rub-ons, bling, flowers and some tucked-in surprises. TFL!  And thanks to the crew at BBTB2!!

Wild Cards/ Teacher Appreciation




This is what I made for my son's teachers on behalf of the class. The inside of the card had room for a gift card to slide right in. I made the pocket with the Gypsy, and used Wild Card for the card and envelope, plus added a little scalloped circle to the envelope using Mini Monograms. I laced a ribbon through the card and tied a bow on top, distressed the white paper and all edged with Tim Holtz distress ink and added little pearls. The sentiment was computer generated. TFL!

TBBM/ Gypsy Wanderings / BBTB2 Challenge




This is a little tag I made as part of a "Thank you" I am sending to my mother. I am also entering it into the BBTB2 challenge for this week.  It is 5" tall from the TBBM cart, and the flourishes and corner accent are from Gypsy Wanderings. The flowers and twig are from Gypsy Wanderings as well, cut at 1.47" tall. The sentiment is from Wild Card cut at 3" wide. Some of the paper was from the Mariposa collection and I added a little more glitter to match the words to it. I also cut two layers of the flowers to make them dimensional and put some "bling" in the centers. The dragonfly is from Kate's paperie. TFL!

Great Carts and fast shipping!

My Mother's day gifts included two Cricut Cartridges my hubby ordered from Scrapbookpal.com. I am really happy with them and they arrived just in time for him to present them to me on Mother's day. I have ordered from them in the past and highly recommend them for competitive prices and fast shipping!

Create a Critter

I made this card for my MIL. She is so sweet and generous and I could never repay her for everything she's done for me. Anywho, she sent me an animal print ensemble for my Birthday/Mother's day so I thought the Zebra was fitting on the thank-you card. I cut the shadow from Provo Craft paper, used Paper Studio paper for the Zebra and little "tag", and embellished with a swirly stamp, black sequins and pearl. Then added a little ribbon just to make it more girly. TFL!

Here's my latest project!
