Happy Mothers Day!

Here is the card I made for my mom for Mother's Day.  She loves owls so I thought this would be perfect.  I used My Cricut Explore to cut the frame, owl and the inside sentiment.  I used a Stampin' Up stamp for the sentiment on the front.  I also used enamel dots from My Minds Eye.  The flower in the card is one I had in my stash.  I love how it turned out.

Happy Mother's Day

Today I made my first Mother's Day card of this year.  I think I will give it to my mother in law.  I used my Cricut Explore and the following cartridges:  Postage stamp- ribbons and rosettes, banner: When I was a Kid, and Butterfly:  Martha Stewart All Occasions.  I copied the postage stamp and welded it together.  I loved how it turned out.  I used a Wink Of Stella Clear Glitter Brush for the inside of the Butterfly.  I used Scrappy Moms stamps for the sentiment.

Got Eggs

Good Afternoon.  It has been almost two weeks since I have posted but this is the first chance I have had to make a card.  I made this Easter card for my daughter.  I used the Teddy Bear Cartridge for the first time.  I also used the Elegant Edges cartridge.  I used the Scrappy Moms Stamps called Spring Fling.  In the inside, I stamped Easter Blessings.

BIG HUGS

Good Afternoon.  It is beautiful here but super cold.  I made this card for a friend who had a tough mom week last week.  I wanted to give her "BIG HUGS" and let her know that I was thinking of her. I used the Cricut Explore to cut the Hippo. It came from the Cartridge Create a Critter.  I actually used the IPAD app and bluetooth adapter.  I love it!!  The sentiment is from My Pink Stamper stamps.  It is hard to tell but I used a Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to put glitter in the ears and flowers.  It looks very pretty in real life. The paper is Recollections from Michaels.

All Star and All American

I have been battling a nasty cold but felt better today and managed to get two layouts done.  My daughter is almost 1.5 and the other one she is a little over 4 years old.  She is now 11 years old.  I used both my Cricut Explore and Silhouette Cameo.

Whale You Be Mine?

I have been fighting a bad cold for almost two weeks now and I finally got into my craft room.  So I made my daughter this Valentine Card.  It turned out so cute.  I use my Cricut Explore to cut out the Whale from Create-a Critter and my Cricut Expression to cut out the Scalloped Squares from Elegant Edges.  I used the Pink Stamper stamps called "I Heart" Punny-Licious.  I had the twine in my stash. The Whale is on an Action Wobble.

You are the Milk to My Cookies

I made this Valentine Card for my husband.  It turned out so cute!  I cut the cookie and milk out on my Silhouette Cameo.  The sketch for my card came from Die Cut Diva.  I ordered the stamp set that has this sentiment on it from Scrappy Moms Stamps but they haven't come yet so I wrote it using the Don Juan font using my Cricut Explore.

Love

Good Afternoon.  Another beautiful day here in Colorado.  I am sharing a layout that I did using a Becky Fleck Sketch.  I had a blast making it.  It came together quickly and I just love it.  It is from Valentine's Day last year.  I used my Silhouette to cut out the arrow with the heart and the tag. I used my Explore to cut out the circles, hearts and title.

Here is the sketch I used:

Love you a Latte

Good afternoon! It is beautiful outside today. While the East Coast is having a snow storm we are expecting a high of 70 today in Colorado. Today I am sharing a card that I made for the Scrappy Mom's Stamp Challenge. I am also submitting it to Simon says Stamps Challenge for Hearts. It is one that I have been wanting to make ever since I got the Love you a Latte cartridge. I think it turned out so cute. I cut the latte from Love You a Latte on my Cricut Explore. I would have made the oval smaller but ran out of the red paper so I went with it. It was cut from the Elegant Edges cartridge. It makes me feel warm inside.

There's Snow one like you

Good Afternoon. I am sharing with you a card I made for my husband. It says There's Snow one like you. I used my Cricut explore to cut out the snowman. It was from the CM Cheerful Seasons cartridge. The snowflakes are from Going Places. I put the snowman on an Action Wobble and it is too cute. I colored the snowflakes with the Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Brush and then put pink bling in the center. The stamped sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps. I just love how this turned out. Thanks for looking.

I am entering this into two challenges: Wednesday Wobble Challenge: Anything Goes and Fantabulous Cricut FCCB Challenge #243 Snowmen

Bitten By the Bug 2 Challenge

I decided to make my brother and his wife a card for buying their first home. They closed on it today. I am so excited for them. They live in another state so I won't be able to see it for a while but I wish them lots of happiness. This card fits the requirements for Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenge of using Letters, phrases or Numbers. I used the phrase Home Sweet Home inside the card. It came from the circuit cartridge Storybook. The house and grass are from Create a Critter. The tree is from April Showers and the clouds are a cricut craft room freebie. I inked the clouds to make them stand out. I also faux stitched the tree with a white Sharpie. I used Stickles on the heart and doorknob. I love the way it turned out. Thanks for looking!! I also wanted to say that I got this card idea from Cindy Vernon at Creating with the Heart.

Die Cuttin Divas Challenge

Today I am sharing a card that I made for my brother-in-law. It fits the Die Cuttin Diva Challenge of making something that fits Cheer Up. I used up some scrap paper. I cut the tie out from Simply Charmed on my Cricut explore. The Stamp comes from Scrappy Moms Stamps. It is simple but I like the way it turned out.

Second Post in One Day

I have been having so much fun with vinyl that I decided to decorate my Silhouette and my Explore.  This is what they look like.

I Am Back...

WOW!!  I didn't get very far posting on a blog.  I want to start trying some challenges and thought I need a blog!  There are so many blogs that I follow and love that I feel I can't compete.  I will do what works for me.  It is a learning process, right?  Thanks for checking me out.  I will post my simple projects while I continue to learn.  I am learning all of the endless possibilities from my Silhouette Cameo and Cricut Explore.  Thanks for visiting.

I made this card for my DD before she went on a Church Retreat.  I cut the fish bowl, water, sand and plants out on my Cricut Explore.  The fish are from Miss Kate Cuttables. I cut them out on my Cameo.  The stamp set is fromVery Punny by Stamping Up.
