Birthday Card

Here's a card I made for my son's girlfriend.  She's a big shopper, purses, shoes, clothes, etc.  So I thought some of her favorite things would be appropriate.  I used the Formal Occasion cartridge and I embossed with Cuttlebug Happy Birthday.  The flowers behind the shoes and purse are from Forever Young cartridge.  I cut the bottom with some shape scissors and put some little bling on it, then I threw a bow on it just because I thought it needed something else : )

Scrapbook Room

I use to have a Scrapbook Room.  It is a 1 car garage that my husband and I converted to a scrapbook area.  It was great!  My husband made shelves and had special places for my stickers.  I had 3 large tables in there and a small table for the kids to join me, but...  When my older son came home from college he took the guest room.  When my other son came home to visit from college he said he couldn't stay in that room anymore because it was his brother's room.  I felt bad so I decided to give up my scrapbook room.

We have a bonus room in our bedroom, that was originally my daughter's room.  When the older boys went to college she got her own room.  We decided to make that the scrapbook area or what I've come to call my "Creative Area".

My son now has a studio room, our 1 car garage that he loves.  With frig, tv, dvd, and ipod stereo system.  Plus room for his guests...he made out.

Here is what my wonderful husband has managed to do in our bonus room.  He made the shelves and desks himself and we even have room for a table so the little ones can join me. He did a great job!  I think I'll keep him : )

Easter Treat Bags

I'm back.  I finally found some time to get some Cricut action.  I had a lot of things I was supposed to be making...grad cards...bday cards...scrapbooking photos...but instead I decided to make little Easter treat bags  : )

                                      

They were fun to make.  I just cut some cardstock with a shape cutter.  Then covered it with pattern paper. Cut the bunny and chick from the Create a Critter cartridge at 3".  (Even though the chick seems to be so much bigger than the bunny???) Then I cut the labels from Once Upon A Princess and stamped it with an Easter greeting. Then filled with candy.  I used my Fastenater for the first time to staple the bag to label.  I thought staples looked worse.  I need to come up with a better way to keep the bag and label together.
