Thinking of you card

Good morning everyone.  I hope everyone had a great weekend!!  Here is a card I did for my sister's, sister-in-law.  She is an amazing person and is going through a lot right now.  I also made a card for her hubby and son. I will show those through out the week.

My recipe:

The frame is cut from Accent Essentials @ 4.50", Pg 78
The butterfly (I put the frame back in the Cricut and cut the butterfly on the frame) Walk in My Garden cut at 2", pg 116.

The paper is all from my stash as is the ribbon.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Snow much fun

Happy Friday!!  I hope all our blogging friends in the Northeast are safe!  I have family in NJ and they are still without power.  Everyone is our prayers.

I came across the super cute snowman card on Pintrest and had to give it a go.  Kel came over and helped me with the dimensions (measuring is NOT my strong point).

Here is the recipe:

Accent Essentials Cart - Circles cut at 2 1/2 and 3 1/2
Snow Friends - Carrot, eyes, mouth and little stick arms
Divine Swirls Cuttlebug Folder

We took a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper and cut it half and then used my MS circle cutter to make the base circle.

Some sparkly pen throughout the divine swirls and I have a StampinUP! Stamp that says I hope your holidays sparkle with joy.  I will stamp that inside.

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

Junior Prom... one of many pages

I am working on getting the Prom pictures of my son and his girlfriend done.  I have so many pictures I am having a tough time deciding which ones will go on pages!!!

Here is my recipe:
All the papers are from K& Company - Life's a Journey pack
Studio 112 for the tag
Studio G for both the stamps, Dance the Night away and Prom (.25 cents at Michaels!!)
Flowers are from Accent Essentials Cart
Pennant is from the Pretty Pennant Cartridge
The gray cloth is actually my part of my son's handkerchief that was in his pocket. He never used it and I thought I would put it on the page. 

RAK - Day three

Hello again!  I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!!   Here is ANOTHER thank you card I had to make.  This one is for my son's friend's Mom.  She is also a photographer and took pictures are her house of all of the kids on Prom night, then put the pics on CD"s for all of us, so sweet!!  

Dawn's card had more a vintage feel, withe the colors I chose. I wanted a more modern feel for this one.

I use all the same cartridges and Stamp set - just different colors and you have a totally different feel.

Heritage and Accent Essential Cricut Carts
Swiss Dots Cuttle Bug Folder
Recollections paper for the car itself.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

RAK -Take Two

Welcome back for day two.  I figured I would leave Kel's card at the top of the page, so you can see what I scraplifted.

I made this card for Dawn, and she is our "official" photographer.  She came over the night of my son's Junior Prom and took awesome pictures for us.

I used:

Heritage Cart- Page 46 cut at 3.25" and then shadowed for the camera
DCWV - Tattered Time
Kraft Paper
Accent Essentials for the scallop  - page 77 cut at 3.50"
StampinUP - Not Quite Navy Card Stock
I used a flowery Cuttlebug Folder to cuttle bug the scallop
Fiskar scallop punch

Thanks for the comments, they really do mean  a lot!!

Laugh Often

Good morning! Sorry, I didn't get to my Harry Potter pages, but I promise I will get to them as soon as I can. I have a friend that is going through a really, really tough time. She has to be one of the strongest woman I know and has such an amazing sense of humor, I wanted to remind her I was thinking of her and to laugh often. I also saw this challenge over at one of Marlene's blogs, and I wanted to get this in over there, http://squigglefly.blogspot.com. You have to use Kraft paper. You have to check out the work of Marlene's team on this one, AMAZING!!! I am going to admit I have an addiction to Kraft Paper, I use it all the time. The base of this card is Kraft paper. Here is the recipe for this card:

Kraft paper for the base of the card.

Accent Essential Cart - for the two frames, pg 78, cut @ 3.25 and 3.75

Beyond Birthdays - Laugh Often, 2.25 and then I shadowed it.

Tim Holtz paper for the frames and the cranberry paper - Ideology - Lost and Found Paper

Swiss Dots Embossing Folder for the Laugh Often

Buttons and twine from my stash.

EXPLORING CRICUT CARTRIDGES, Day 1
