1 is fun!

I made this invite to my son's First Birthday party back in April! I love the ribbon on this it's from the Dollar spot at Michael's- I think I bought every color they had of this fun argyle ribbon. I cut the 1 out from Plantin cricut cartridge. I used my Numbers Cuttlebug folder to do the background. Is fun, is stamped from a Close to My Heart alphabet. These were fast, simple and turned out very cute- my favorite kind of cards to make.
Watch for next weeks post, I'm working on some blog candy. Can't wait to share!!

Have a great week!!!

This is our Everyday Heroes Bulletin Board. On this bulletin board each student will bring a poster all about them- it will be displayed for a week. I loved making these fun paper dolls, especially the little accessories for the girls. The letters are cut from Mickey and Friends font cartridge, the paper is Daisy D's (I believe) shadowed in red bazzill. I love how this board turned out, I can't wait to showcase our students on it.
Thanks for looking!!

Baby cards...

Thanks for checking out my blog, it's been fun the last week to watch and see how many people have checked out my blog. Monday I had 100 on my counter and now I'm at over 300+. Thanks for checking out my blog and remember I Love Comments!!!

In June I made a few baby cards to add to my stash and for my monthly card swap. The first three cards I scraplifted from Robyn at http://www.mypinkstamper.com/ I loved these cards they were so easy to make.

I love this giraffe stamp it is from Close to My Heart- It's a Zoo set, baby is stamped from a Close to My Heart alphabet but I can't remember the name, the yellow pattern paper is Kopp Design paper that I've had for 9 years just waiting to be used. I think the brown ink and paper are chocolate from Close to My Heart. I cut the scallop circle and circle out with my cricut from the Mini Monograms cart.
The elephant stamp is from Close to My Heart It's a Zoo set, pink pattern paper is Daisy D's, I used chocolate ink and paper from Close to My Heart. The square scallop and square are from Mini Monograms cricut cartridge.

The elephant is from Close to My Heart It's a Zoo set, the blue pattern paper is Kopp Design again. Chocolate ink and paper is from Close to My Heart, square scallop and the square were cut from Mini Monograms cricut cartridge.

This is my favorite baby card I made. I used a sketch I think from sheetload.blogspot.com I don't remember which month though. The pattern paper is Animal Crackers from Close to My Heart, the inks are Close to My Heart I don't remember which colors I used though. The giraffe stamp is from the It's a Zoo set from Close to My Heart, I bought that set just for this card. As you can tell I loved this set for baby cards. I used staples to attach the red grosgrain and yellow grosgrain ribbons to the card. I love this card it was so fun to put together -plus that giraffe just makes me smile- and can't wait to send this card to someone.

Thanks for looking! I love comments.

Bulletin Board

I work in a Kindergarten classroom as a Teacher's Assistant. This year I did this apple bulletin board. The words are done from Seasame Street Font Sunny Day and I shadowed them in black you can't tell that from the picture. I did an apple for each student cut from Doodlecharms. I freehanded the basket.
It looks really good in person and I had a ton of fun making it.
I'll have to take a picture of the paperdolls I made too. Look for that next week.

Thank you Berry Much!

In June I made these strawberry themed gifts for my kids school teachers. I love strawberries and couldn't resist the cute strawberry on the Hello Kitty Greetings cartridge. I bought the cartridge just for the cute strawberry, so of course I had to find something to use the strawberry for. I came up with these fun things:

This is a strawberry plant, the strawberry is on both sides of the Popsicle stick. Cut from Hello Kitty Greetings.

Not the best picture of this cute card but you get the idea. The strawberry is from Hello Kitty Greetings, Pattern Paper is Bo Bunny I've had it a long time so I don't know the line it is from. Papertrey Ink stamps I think the stamp set that this stamp comes from is Greenthumbs. I love Papertrey Ink stamps they are awesome! I bought this stamp set just for the Thank you Berry Much stamp. Red grosgrain ribbon. I loved these thank you cards, super simple to make and very cute!!

This is a covered Kit Kat bar, I found the directions for this at Stampin' With Di's blog http://dianagibbs.typepad.com/stampin_with_di/kit-kat-wrapper/. Love her blog!! I don't know who the papers are made by. The stamps are Papertrey Ink, love that cute strawberry and inks are Close to My Heart I don't remember the colors I used.

I hope to be able to scrapbook some this weekend, but we'll see. Hopefully Monday I'll have some new layouts to share. Have a great weekend and see you Monday!! Don't forget to leave a comment and sign up as a follower!!

Penguin gift tag

This is my favorite of the 2 tags I've made. I love penguins so I am a little partial to this one. I used forest green cardstock for the tag cut out from the Plantin School cart, Red bazzill for for the scalloped circle cut from Mini Monograms. The cute penguins is cut from Imaginisce pattern paper Candy Cane Lane- 12 Penguins Chillin' I used the Center Point feature on my cricut to cut out one penguin for each tag, used the Mini Monogram cirlce for it. Close To My Heart stamp note sure which set. I love all the fun ribbons at the top.
Thanks for looking!!!

Christmas Tags

A couple of weeks ago I found this awesome new blog http://cricutchristmas.blogspot.com/. Everyday they post a project for Christmas done with the cricut. I've loved checking each day for the fun new projects they've done. Not only do they have awesome projects they also have a weekly giveaway. Check it out!!

As part of my monthly swap group we did Christmas tag for the month of August. I decided to do 2 different tags (and might do one more). For this tag I cut the circles out with George, the snowflake is from Accent Essentials and on the back the to and from were cut out from Christmas cheer. I stickled the snowflake. I used bazzill for the blue circle and the snowflake, on the back of the card I used a glittery snowflake paper (not sure who makes it).
