Give Thanks Blocks

I found this idea online and made up a couple for our ward Super Saturday. The second one isn't quite finished here. I love that I have a friend with a vinyl machine!

Super Saturday Cards

This year I searched high and low for a card online that I wanted to 'scraplift' because I didn't feel confident enough in my own ability to come up with one that I thought was cute enough. This is my take on a cute one I found. I hope the sisters like it. I will have various papers for the sisters to use this year but I am going to try to have more of the prep work done than I did last year so that the card is quicker and easier to assemble.

Ice Cream Cone

Who doesn't like a little ice cream on their birthday??

Big Candles

I saw a cute card in one of the old stamping catalogs using big candles and I just fell in love with the idea. I bought a set on ebay and here is my first take on using them.

Snowman

I bought this adorable little snowman face stamp the other day and couldn't wait to use it. So in the middle of the July heat here is a little snow to cool you off. :)

Congrats

This is the fabulously simple card I made for my brother to send him a little present when he graduated from HS last month. Way to go Cricut!

Hi *Dragonfly*

I made this little card this morning using my fabulous Cricut Expression! Gotta love that thing! My 'hi' is a little off which bugs me but I couldn't really go back and fix it after I'd already stamped it so here ya go... Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anything creative. I just never get any "me" time anymore. :-)

My cute nephew

I hope my sister-in-law doesn't mind me adding these to my blog. I made them for her a little while back. I always try to leave space for her to do her own journaling.

Firecrackers

I have been part of a little craft group in my ward this last year and this month a friend and I were in charge of coming up with the craft. We decided on these cute little fireworks. These are the ones I made.

Teacher Gift

I found this adorable little pail at the craft store to fill for my son's teacher for the end of the year. I just had to add a matching card and it was so easy to make!

Get Well Medicine Bottle

I have a sweet friend who just had surgery and so I made her this cute little medicine bottle this morning. It only took about 15 minutes. I used my cricut to cut out the "Get Well Soon." I just wish my camera had taken better photos. Sorry they are a little blurry. Normally I would have filled it with M&M's or chocolate chips but since my friend has to watch the sweets I filled it with Cheerios instead. :-)

Cub Scout

This is my little cub scout. I'm so proud of him. He loves being in scouts and can't wait to start earning merit badges. He's our first scout so we have a lot of years of merit badges and camp outs ahead of us. :)

Bows

This isn't a scrapbook page or card but still creative so I thought I'd share it here. I made my little girl 2 hair bows this week. They were so easy and I love how they turned out. She likes them too which is even better!

*21*

Whenever I make scrapbook pages I love to save my scrap pieces of paper! I have always done this and find that now with the way the economy is going it is an even better idea. Here I used the scraps from my last page (as well as the layout design) to create a birthday card for my brother. Thanks for looking.

Caught White Handed

I'm trying to catch up a little on some of my older pictures. These are my twins 3 1/2 years ago. The day I discovered them dumping out their formula was the day I decided it was time to switch to cow milk. :-) Had fun using my Cricut to cut out the lettering and big symbol on the side of the bottom picture for this one. I'm loving that thing!

My Little BBQ Princess

I just love this picture of my little girl!! She's such a spunky little thing! I finished this layout this morning as part of a challenge where I had to use at least 3 butterflies. How convenient for me that my sweet sister-in-law Jen just gave me a bunch of adorable paper!! All of the patterned paper on this page comes from a DCWV paper pack called Garden Party. I cut out the blocks with my new Cricut!! :-)

Guest Sign-in

Our little guy was baptized this weekend. I wanted to create something special for him to be able to remember who had come to his baptism so I made these guest sign-in pages that we could add to his scrapbook album. I thought they turned out really nice. I wanted them to be simple yet elegant (and boyish at the same time).

Blank Cards

Wow, I hadn't realized it had been so long since I'd added anything to my blog! Sorry.


Here are some cards I made recently that I used as invitations. I made them up and then scanned them into my computer. Once they are on my hard drive I pull them up and I can add the text. I then upload them to a photo developing store and they print them like they were photos. They turn out so cute. I have used them for a couple of baby showers and then various other events. It's pretty fast and a fun way to invite somebody to something.

Fall Redone...

I've been on a little Scrapbooking craze this week! I loved the pumpkin patch page (try saying that 3 times fast!) I made for Tayden so I made one for each of the kids. I just changed the journaling a little for a couple of them. :) I love scraplifting...even if it's me I'm copying!

Gift Album Updates

My cute little niece, Mary, was born the beginning of November. I am adding a couple of pages to my moms album and here they are. :)

Tate at the Pumpkin Patch

This is my first real layout in over 6 months!! I can't believe it's been that long since I scrapbooked a page just for the fun of it for one of my own albums!! I love scrapbooking for other people that's for sure but it's always hard to have to give the work away. ;)
