Cards made by McKenzie

Last weekend my seven year old granddaughter, McKenzie spent some time with me and wanted to make some cards for some special people in her life. She loves using the Cricut and making cards. She picked out the images, the stamps and the papers and had minimal help putting the cards together. She was so excited when I asked her if she would like to use some of my Action Wobbles on her cards and she answered with an emphatic YES!! :) I think she did a great job and she was so proud of her finished cards. She said, "Grandma you could post these on your blog if you want." So that is what I am doing. I think I have a cardmaker in the making to share my obsession!!!

This is a card for her best friend that moved to Canada in December.

This is a birthday card that she made for her Mom. She has an obsession to the SU Red Glimmer paper just like her grandmother!!  I forgot to take a picture of the inside but she cut the words Happy Birthday with the red glimmer paper too. She even stamped a cupcake on her envelope.

P.S. Her mom loved it!! :)

McKenzie thanks you for checking out her cards!

Congratulations on your new pad card

Our youngest son just moved into his first apartment so we now have an empty nest. :( It is definitely going to take some getting used to after having a household of 5 for all those years. But even though it is much too quiet around here, I am very happy for him. So this is a card I mailed to him and luckily it was the first piece of mail he received at his "new pad". Said it made his day!! :)

Thanks for taking the time to check out my blog today!

Paper Cutz Challenge #78

For this week's Paper Cutz challenge we are to make a card, LO or craft project using a hand stamped, digital stamped or Cricut cut image of ladybugs, bees or butterflies, using any colors we’d like. So here is my card for the challenge. The bee is popped up on an Action Wobble so he is "buzzin' around" when you move the card.:-)

This is the sentiment on the inside of the card:

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!!!

Valentine card for grandson

Here is the card I made for my grandson for Valentine's Day. I always struggle making cards for the guys.  It just doesn't feel right to not add some ribbon and I had a really hard time not adding any Stickles or bling to the little collar!!! :-) I did sneak in a heart brad up in the corner with the other brads!! Hopefully he won't care.......he is only 2!

Thanks for checking out my blog!

Christmas in July Challenge-The Cuttlebug Spot

I made this card for the Christmas in July challenge over on The Cuttlebug Spot site. I am loving all of these Christmas in July challenges because then at least I will have a few of my Christmas cards done before December!
I just love this cute little penguin from the Create-a-Critter cartridge. I used my Gypsy to hide the facial cuts and then used one of my  Peachy Keen stamps for the darling little face. The embossed background is sprayed with Shimmer Mist so it really sparkly although it doesn't show up in the picture as I had hoped. I also added some Ice Crystal Stickles to the snowflake brad.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Emma's Throwback Thursday Challenge

For Emma's Throwback Thursday challenge this week we were to create a scrapbook layout and use the Cricut cartridge Doodlecharms. This was a super fun challenge as I originally started scrapbooking several years ago and then got hooked on cardmaking and the scrapbooking fell by the wayside. It has been about 3 years since I have done any scrapbooking and while doing this challenge I realized how much I miss it. So thanks Emma for giving me the little push to get back to getting those family memories off the computer and in the albums. I know my grandchildren will love looking through the albums at the pictures!!

I used the Doodlecharms cartridge for the bunny head in the left corner and the Easter basket. Title was made using Storybook and the grass was done with Create-a-Critter. The bunny at the bottom right of the page and the eggs were all made with punches. Now to get the journaling done and get it in the album!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by and happy stamping!

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!

Now that I have used it, I am loving it!!!!
