Wedding Sign-in book

These last few weeks have been so busy...but, so much fun. I created a wedding sign-in book for my neice, but forgot to take pictures. It turned out great. Her colors were plum, sage green and black and silver. My brother was getting married a week after her and so I thought it would be fun to create one for them. Their colors were coral and peach. I had it at the luncheon and everyone was able to sign it. You can just click on the picture to see it larger. Special thanks to my sister Shari that stayed up with me to help me create and adhere!!! :)

And a HUGE thanks to my husband, Wade ...who took the great pictures and printed them out for me. :) Love you !

Happy Birthday cards with cuttlebug

My sister sent me copies of these cards that I did ...see previous post on January 23, 2009. Thanks for the picture sis!

Thank you cards

These colors and patterns of these cards were inspired by a card my by amazing and talented friend, Natalie. She makes the most beautiful cards and I loved the colors so much...I made some different cards with her color scheme. Thanks Natalie...you are the best!

Happy Birthday

These cards were simple to make. I actually did about 6 colors in all, but only have pictures of 3. I used my cuttlebug and the happy birthday embossing folder. Inked the cards and added ribbon. I also did white cards inked and accented in orange, lime green and torquoise blue.
Note: I lined up the square for the present to match the background.

Princess Birthday Invite

I have not made cards for awhile, so this was especially fun. I made these for my 4 yr olds Princess Tea Party. I used the Wild Card cartridge...which is wonderful, cuts out the invite and the envelope. I embossed the invite with the cuttlebug folder Princesses. I used violet ink and inked all the edges and then tied the envelope shut with ribbon. I love purple and so does my 4 yr old.

Health, Peace and Sweet Content - Holiday Card

This is not my typical holiday card, but I wanted to make a card with white and blue. I started it and got the white card embossed and the blue strip done.. and then I was stuck...and then I found this sketch on another blog. And it helped me out, thank you for the sketch Robin. I also found a quote by Shakespeare that I liked it states: "Health, Peace and Sweet content be yours." I think that is very appropriate for this season and always...I wish you all, Health, Peace and sweet content. Have a happy day.

Note: I embossed the white using the dots embossing folder on the cuttlebug, Just my type embossing border on the blue, added some green ribbon and chalk.

Kids Dyno-mite birthday card

This card I made about a year ago and I needed to make some more, so I changed just one thing on it. The paper behind the dinosaur, I embossed with my cuttlebug and the swiss dots folder. The words I did on the computer and printed it out. The dinosaur is a sticker by Provo craft. You can find them at Roberts.

Halloween Card or Invite

This is a really quick and easy card for Halloween. I used my cuttlebug and embossed the front with "Haunted House" embossing folder. Then inked the front with black ink and chalked the moon and windows. I was inspired by Susan at Heartprints.net...you can find hers
here. I love her cards, she always has great ideas!

Papa's 80th Birthday

We just celebrated Papa's 80th birthday and as part of that celebration we were to create a few pages for a book. These are the pages I did for my family. It was a lot of fun. I haven't done any scrapbooking for some time. I cut out the family using my cricut and the Home accents cartridge. I used the cuttlebug embossing Dots folder on the tag holder and family picture. The cardstock and ribbon are from Stampin' up. I love the saying about grandpa's.It fits our Papa perfectly! It says:

"A grandfather is someone with silver in his hair and gold in his heart."

Bridal Shower Card

I made this card for my nephew's fiance (now wife :), for her bridal shower. I used the paper doll cartridge for the cricut. It was a "matchbook" style card, cut from the Tags, Bags and Boxes cartridge. The lilac cardstock was embossed with the cuttlebug, using the divine swirls embossing folder. I also stapled it with the staple "LOVE" and put dimensional glaze on the staple. I then added silver cord ribbon from Stampin' up. I used a lot of vellum, bling and glitter paper on the paper dolls. It was a fun card to make.

Mother's Day Card

This is a card I made for Mother's Day. I love the colors. I was inspired by an outfit that Chloe was wearing one day. Once again, I used an embossing folder from Cuttlebug and then inked it white. The pink paper the flower is on is called a slider, a die cut from cuttlebug. My sister, Shari, taught me that trick. Thanks Shari! In fact, I think I will post some of the cards she has made...she is AMAZING! :)

Baby Shower invite

This was the invitation I made for my sister Laurel's baby shower. She had liked the colors of the thank you cards I did, so I came up with this. I used a "baby girl" embossing folder and the "dots" embossing folder from Cuttlebug. (If you haven't noticed...I love my cuttlebug!!) I scored the lines using my scor-pal. Love that too!! I chalked the baby and the pea pod.

Thank You, Blank Card

These cards were inspired by Sue Nelson at www.heartprints.net She has the most beautiful cards...thanks for sharing Sue. I used the Cuttlebug and my Scor-pal to create these cards. I love the "birds" embossing folder. :)

"Sweet 16" Card

This was a card I made for a Birthday Theme. I used the Cuttlebug to emboss the dots on the front. The flowers and 16 are cut from doodlebug paper..it has glitter on it. It is "sugar-coated" with glitter. The "sweet" was written with a versamark pen and heat embossed with green.
