5x7 photo album

Got a great photo album at WalMart yesterday that I'm having fun with. I holds 5x7 photos and was $5. I am scrapping 4x6 photos on 5x7 pages to fit. Super fun. My boys have a fun day for the end of school and I eneded up taking  almost a 100 pictures! This is the pefect way for me to get them in an ablum right away. I think I'll cut a bunch of 5x7 mats and let the boys do some too. I'll post a picture soon.

Birthday cupcake cards

Some cupcake birthday cards I made. I really like the way these came out. Cupcakes are soo big right now. I know the black one is hard to see. I couldn’t get it to stand up. I used a piece of the pink cardstock inside to have somewhere to write.

Something fun

 

Two cards I made with added fun. First I drew the image with the quickuts sketch pens, Then cut out the blackout image. I then shaded with ink. The words are printed on the computer and then cut out on the Cricut using the Center Point function. This is my new favorite thing to do since I can never find stamps that say what I want and hate my own handwriting.

Kool Aid Slider

Got this great idea from Robyn @ mypinkstamper.com. She shows how to make cocoa, cider, & seed packet sliders. Love Robyn’s site so much!

Little give out for ladies I visit to Stay “Kool” this summer.

Summer word is from Designer Calendar cart.

No Lion…I Love You card

Just love how this turned out. 

Recipe exchange cards

Something fun I enjoy doing is a recipe card exchange with friends. Here is an example of cards I’ve made. We use a 4x6 layout and whatever recipe we want. We have 5 ladies in the exchange so we make 5 of each card. I make 6 and am starting a gift for my cousin’s birthday.

 

Doubly Embossed Birthday Card

For this card I embossed the paper in the Cuttlebug, inked with dauber over it,

Versa Marked and powder embossed, and used Celebrations cart.

It’s super cute in person. Can’t wait to send it off!

I have 5

I have 5 followers. How cool is that? I better post something today. Does this count? hehe

Drawing out the tag types from Plantin Schoolbook

 

I used Quickutz sketch pens to  draw out the different size tags so I could easily see what size I needed for project. Could see myself doing this for soo many shapes!

I like this one better

 

Magic Eraser gift

Made this after the idea hit me to give to Sisters when I visit them. I would also use a saying like, "Let Heavenly Father be your Magic Eraser.

Today

What did I add to my craft area today? A bowl of soft cinnomon puffs. They smell good too!
I have a new cartridge coming from ebay for the Cricut. Didn't think I'd win but I'm not turning it down. hehe That makes 7 that I own. Still obsessing about the Cuttlebug.
