Easter Treat Bags

This year for Easter, I completely spaced doing something for my daughter's teachers, so I needed to do something relatively fast, but cute, too! What better than to try my new Easter cartridge? I cut the bunny at 7" and just colored his nose and put on the tail. Easy Peasy!

Thanks for visiting!!

Best Cuttlebug Folder Storage Idea EVER!

I am addicted to my Cuttlebug, but only for the embossing folders. Man, they are so cute!! I have been keeping them in a jumbled pile for a few years now, and sadly, it's just not working for me! So, I looked into a binder system, since I had just discovered that storage way for my clear stamps.

I really did not like the actual Cuttlebug binder system that Provo Craft makes, so I decided to come up with my own, with the help of my cute Husband. I got an 8 1/2 " by 11" three ring binder, and some trading card pockets, along with some 5x7" photo protectors. Those were not super easy to come by, but http://www.scrapbook.com/ has them for not too expensive and personally, they are well worth it! Thanks for stopping by!!

This is a view of the binder closed. Super easy to stand on a shelf!

A Few Scrapbook Pages

I have been working on getting my first daughter's book caught up. I am LOVING my Cricut more than ever with helping me get her book done. Hooray! I hope to have more and more pages to post in the very near future. Thanks for visiting!

My First Scrapbook Page with My Cricut

I am finally thinking I might get caught up on my scrapbooks. Since I received my Gypsy for Christmas, crafts and I have become better friends! My daughter is 4 years old now, but I did finally get around to finishing up a page for her book. Her 6 month page! GASP! I am trying Slowly but surely, I'm getting finished... Thanks for visiting!!

My First Forever Young Project

I absolutely love this cartridge!! It feels more "grown up" than the paper doll cartridges and my darling SIL has a birthday coming up, so I thought I better try this cartridge out. The purses are super cute and I love the models.
I made the purse to hold two colors of nail polish... They fit perfectly!! The card was just fun to make, and I of course had to glitter!!
Thanks for visiting!!

Mailboxes!

I was watching a video on My Pink Stamper's blog and I couldn't wait to try these out! I had just bought my ATG 714 and was itching for a project. I even broke down and bought two sets of Peachy Keen stamps to help make these as cute as can be!

Cricut Cards

My darling Mother in Law has a friend who just bought a Cricut Expression. She was wondering if I could come up with a few projects to showcase everything the Cricut could do. I was more than happy to do that! I have to admit that I have been using my Cricut with Design Studio since I got my Cricut, so I tried to use it just bare bones and it actually is more amazing than I thought! My MIL's friend is a scrapbooker, so I decided to do a card or two, with a cupcake holder because well, those are the cutest things ever! She was so happy with her "class" and I'm certain she is using her Cricut more and more each day.



I love the button flowers from Walk in my Garden. I wasn't too tickled with how my card turned out, but the idea was cute anyway!!


This is from Sweet Treats. I love that cartridge! This did have a matching cupcake holder, but sadly my 6 month old decided to "help" me bring it home and she ripped the handle off. I will make more though, I'm sure of it!! No more babies helping though... :)


This was my favorite card of the set. I love that butterfly from Indie Art. My SIL helped me fix my glittering job. I am fairly new to the world of Stickles, but after this, I will be glittering up everything!


Thanks so much for visiting and slowly but surely, I am getting my craft time back from having a baby!! I appreciate you checking out my work!!
