This was a simple card I did for my parents Anniversary. I always add a little cricut cut to the inside of my cards and I always add a little something to my envelopes.

This is a card I did for my niece's Baptism.

This was a card I did for my niece Emma's Birthday. I think she was more thrilled with the card than the gift.

Christian Survial Kits.

I am not sure where this idea originated, However I have seen them used at several church bazaars. For the Recent Church in the park my niece Ally and I had to put together 500 of these as give aways. A ton of work but very rewarding. The hardest part of this project is hunting down the various items in the bag. I have found Walmart to be a great outlet for the little ziploc bags. They can be found in the jewelry section. The Dollar stores are fabulous for the balance of the items. The wooden blocks were a little harder to come by and seemed expensive when doing so many so we just made our own. The blocks are about 1/2" square.

Crank up the music and get going. These would be great inserts into Christmas card or sympathy cards. Just a nifty little item.

Get well soon

So being as I am feeling a little under the weather I thought I would share a get well card I did for a friend of mine. I used the Paper Pups cart. I used A rubber stamp with a glue pad and added glitter. Enjoy!

Crafting

Crafting does not have to be expensive. Crafting is about being creative with what you already have.

1st Birthday card

Finally had some time to create over the weekend. Between the ceiling fan and window it was tolerable to sit and be crafty. On Saturday I went to a crop with a couple of friends and worked on a friends Wedding Album. Mind you said friend now has a one year old baby. None the less here wedding album is coming along. I need to get her permission before I post any of my scrap pages.

On Sunday I was able to create a 1st Birthday card for my nephew Ethan. Nothing like the last minute the party was in a matter of hours. Anyway I used the Celebrations Cricut cart and cut the items at 4 inches which in hind sight I caution you to cut at maybe 2.5 or 3 inches as the 4 inch cut caused my card to be 7.5 by 5.75 and as such not a standard size A2 card. I used pop dots and some ribbon I had kicking around. I also caution you that when buying pop dot to just go with the bigger ones they are easier to peel the backing off.

Because of the odd size of the card and the time crunch. I simply made a "folder" for it and used the blue ribbon to "wrap" it.
