My Creative Time Throwback Thursday Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends!

Emma's challenge was to use Wildcard and some kind of embossing for her Throwback Thursday Challenge.  I have been feeling less than inspired these days, and thought I'd rummage through the handbook for Wildcard.  WOW!  I love it.  It has so many things to cut and make your own, but I was especially excited about the box toward the end of the book.  Oh My Gosh!  I didn't even know it was in there, and I couldn't wait to cut it.  I needed a box for a friend's birthday, so I was so happy that I found it!

On the "Cute Friend" label I wet embossed the stamp, as well as ran the black frame through my Cuttlebug.  The background on the envelope as well as the card was embossed with the Cuttlebug and the gifts were too!  I just love embossing.

Thank you Emma for hosting another one of your amazing challenges.  Be sure to visit http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ to see all the beautiful entries!

Peachy Shower

Hi Crafty Friends! 

I have been trying to get this post up since we had this shower in March...  YIKES!  My computer has been having issues, but I think they have been worked out, so I can finally show you these extra cute invitations my SIL, MIL and I made for our cousin who had a baby girl named Jorja.  (When we offered to do the shower, the first and only thing that popped into my head was "Georgia Peach" and we ran with it!) 

The peach is from Preserves and that super cute face is the biggest size on the "Dolly Dumplins Assortment".  (My favorite!)   We made 42 of them and nearly every guest came that was invited.  It was a huge turnout! 

Thanks for visiting!!

Father'sDay Card and Tag

I feel so bad that Father's Day was a while ago but I haven't had Internet for almost 2 weeks and it's finally up, so I thought I would post my card I made for my father-in-law and my Dad's tag.  I really liked my Father's Day stuff this year.  Thanks for visiting!!

 This my first attempt at using burlap... I'm in LOVE!  It's certainly messy, but so worth it!!

My dad loves snacks of any kind, but especially nuts.  We decided to do a little basket with snacks in it for him.  I completely loved this tag and my 5 year old was giddy that her "peanut" was jumping!  Hee Hee.  Thanks to my Peachy Faces for making those nuts a new fave!!

My Creative Time "Lite" Challenge

I was so excited when Emma announced her Throwback Thursday challenge... She asked us to use a "Lite" cartridge and include some bling on the project.  I knew exactly what I was going to make, since I just recently bought the Wildlife cartridge. 

We are about to go on a trip to Yellowstone and my daughter keeps telling everyone that it's her favorite place to visit... I thought I would make her a journal that she could write down all the animals she saw and how she felt about them... or whatever she wanted to write.  I cannot wait to give it to her, and I'm sure the pages will be filled up before I know it!

Thanks for visiting, and be sure to check out http://www.creativetimeforme.com/ to check out all the other entries! 

40th Anniversary Party for my Parents

My sweet parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary on Friday.  We did an open house celebration for them on Saturday and it was a huge success!!  My SIL did the food and got all the pictures ready to go, basically planned the entire event... she let me decorate the 5 tables we had to show my parents interests, and I ran with it: 

This is their "Moab" inspired table.  My parents love to visit Moab and do some four wheeling!  I used my Cricut to cut the directional sign and my hubby made the stand for it.  We sure make a great team if you ask me! :)

This is their "Pet" table.  I cut the "Dog", "Cat" out of vinyl and put them on the dishes which were filled with chocolate covered raisins and a scoop that the guests could get their "People Treats".  I forgot to take a picture of the paw prints I made with Cri-Kits, putting each pet's name on them.  They were really cute!

This their "Hawaiian" inspired table.  My dad lives in Hawaiian shirts and I felt this table was a must have!  The Hawaiian shirt rack was built by my amazing husband.  I love it! 

I cut this "Aloha" from the "Life is a Beach" cartridge.  Super cute cartridge, I must say!!

The last table was our tinfoil table.  My parents wrap everything in tinfoil...  They even make Christmas trees in foil every other Christmas.  The foil table was a must have, too!  I didn't do anything with the Cricut on this table, but I wanted to show you the cute trees anyway.

Congrats to my Mom and Dad on 40 years!!  You guys are such a great example, and I'm so proud to be your daughter!

Thank you so much for visiting.

Teacher Gifts for Graduation

My daughter graduated from preschool last week and I was so excited when she asked me if I could make 4 cards for her to tell her teachers thank you.  She only asked if it could have purple on it to match the ribbon on the pot of chocolate flowers we were giving her teachers.  It was so much fun!  And she absolutely loved the rainbow with the super cute faces and loved the glittery stars.  She actually told me I should have put some white glitter on the clouds.  She has an eye for sparkle, for sure!  

 I would like to thank my darling, crafty, adorable cousin Paige for making the chocolate flowers. I was so proud to give them away and so was Shelby!!
