Robert's 50th

I hope you all had a great weekend!

I wanted to share with you a card that I made for my brother-in-law's 50th birthday party this weekend.  I have to say that he was really touched that I had actually made the card myself.  It was pretty cool to hear him say that.  So anyways, here it is...

I used Alphalicious for the "50th".
For the embossing, I used my Cuttlebug embossing folder.
The paper I embossed is from Core'dinations which I also
sanded to give it the distressed look.

I cut out the stamp using Gypsy Wanderings.
The birthday stamp is from Inkadinkado.

Hope you guys like it.  Have a great week Everyone and don't forget about our Fantabulous Cricut Crawl that starts tomorrow!

Challenges:
My Pink Stamper
Card Makin' Mamas

I'm a Guest Designer at Momo's!!

Happy Tuesday everyone!!
I am so excited!!! I am such a fan of Mari at Made by Momo and she has been such an inspiration for me.  I haven't been blogging very long and she was one of the first ones I came across and instantly fell in love with her work, her videos, and her challenges!! She is just amazing, but i'm sure you all know this already.  So when she asked me if I could be a Guest Designer for her challenge this week.....well I just about DIED!!!

So for her challenge this week, she asked me to make a treat box.....

I used Create A Critter to cut out the reindeer and used Stickles on his nose and scarf.

Isn't this cute??  I came across the box on Cricut Chick when she made the cutest box for a baby shower.

So when Momo asked me, I knew exactly what box I wanted to make. Cricut Chick has the best video tutorial on how to make it, so definitely go on over and check it out.

I used Christmas Cheer to cut out the "hohoho" and stocking
on the green card.  Used a white gel pen for the doodling.

This card was also cut with Christmas Cheer and the sentiment was cut using Pooh Font Set.

Cardstock: DCWV The Christmas Stack

I cut Santa using Simply Charmed and used Stickles on his beard.

Picked out 5 different types of wired ribbon, Christmas ribbon of course.

Fantabulous Cricut #38 Ribbons

Good morning Everyone.
I hope you all had a great Holiday!

This week at Fantabulous Cricut, the challenge is to use ribbon somewhere on your Cricut project.  Pretty easy right??  Ok, so get crafting and join us for this fun challenge.  Plus, don't forget about the amazing prizes too!

Here is my project:

This is a picture my son had taken at school for Father's Day.
I finally had a chance to make this picture frame for it.
I used foamboard and just covered it with cardstock.

I used my Tags,Boxes & more cart to cut out the cute tags.
Add ribbon and embellish any way you like and you have yourself a really cute picture frame.

Be sure to head on over to FCCB and enter your own Ribbon project!

Have a great week everyone!!

It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas!!

Wow, I can't believe Thanksgiving has passed us by. It's all just a blur.  Many of my neighbors put their Christmas lights up already. Amazing!! I think I will have my husband put ours up tomorrow. Not like he really wants to watch Football right? lol.  Seriously, it is looking like Christmas all around.  I just need to remember to stop and take it all in before Christmas is a blur too.

Ok, so I started this card last night.  Finally had a chance to finish tonight.  Hope you like it.

This cute digi is from MelJen's Designs.
Colored with Copics.
I added a little bit of Stickles to give it a little bling.
Card stock is from DCWV Winter Wonder Stack

The sentiment is computer generated.
My buttons are from Recollections.
And the embossing I made with my Sizzix Texture Plates.

Not too thrilled about the lighting in the picture.
I think I'm going to work on making a light box.

I just need to remember who had the tutorials...

This picture is to show my pop ups which are called for in Gigi's Challenge.
