Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge

Emma is hosting her first Throwback Thursday challenge over at My Creative Time and this is the card I made for the challenge. We were to use the Animal Kingdom cartridge or an older Cricut cartridge to create an animal themed card. Since I just recently got my Cricut all of my cartridges are new ones so I used Create a Critter cartridge for my card. I even used my new Gypsy to design and cut the card!! Love it!! 

Thanks for visiting my blog and happy stamping!

My First Gypsy Project---thanks to EMMA!!!

This is my very first project made with my Gypsy that my husband bought me for Mother's Day. I want to thank my friend, Emma for all of her help to get my going on the Gypsy. Without her help it might still be in the box!!! LOL She is the Gypsy guru!!! She does amazing things with it and her projects are so wonderful. Check it out HERE!!! Now that I have used it, I am loving it!!!!

Birthday Card for Grandson

It's hard to believe but my little grandson just turned two yesterday.  He had a John Deere themed party so I made this card for him . I found several tractor ideas online and combined several of them to come up with this. Amazing that it is all made with punches!! Needless to say he was thrilled with his "green tractor card" as he called it!

School's out for summer!

Last Wednesday was the last day of school here and today was my last day of work. YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!! To celebrate the last day of school I made these cute lttle lemonade cards I found online here . I thought they were so adorable so I made several of them with a drink coupon for Sonic inside for several of the staff members. They loved them!! They were so fun to make and give!! Thanks for stopping by!

Retirement Cards

We have several people retiring at the end of the school year and these are the cards I made for them. A very super quick and easy card!!!  I decided to make them all the same and even made an extra for my stash while I had all the supplies out just in case someone else decides to retire at the last minute. Only 3 days of school left...WHOOO HOOO!! I don't know who is more excited, the students or the staff!!!! LOL

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my blog! Hope you are having a wonderful weekend!!

Supplies used: Birds and Swirls CB embossing folder, SU Whisper White cardstock, PTI Ocean Tides cardstock and satin ribbon, sentiment is computer generated.

Sympathy Cards

Unfortunately I needed to make a couple of sympathy cards this week. I always struggle to make these kinds of cards. I decided to go with the SU Manhattan Rose embossing folder and use some of my new linen vellum from Papertrey Ink for the embossed part. I really like it because the adhesive doesn't show through like the regular vellum.
