Graduation Card - Oh Happy Day

Hi Everyone!
Hope you all had a GREAT day! I wanted to share a graduation card I made for my cousin. I  LOVE using the "Oh Happy day" for grad cards, because it sure is one. I started with the Oh Happy Day frame and layered it on top of a scallop circle and then using my gypsy I cut a circle from the middle of the scallop to make another frame. The center image of the girl is from Beyond Birthdays  - I know, I know, it's an oldie!!! Added a some brads, grad cap and diploma in hand and voila one Grad Card for the new Doctor in the family :) 

Oh Happy Day Frame is cut from Wild Card Cartridge (I should have added some white gel pen to the letters :( oh well next time.

Happy Mother's Day

Hi Everyone!
Hope you are all enjoying the weekend! I wanted to post a Mother's Day card I made this week. I have one more Mother's day project to post and I think I'm actually ready for the day. That never happens I'm always making a last minute "something" on the day :) 
So I mentioned that I purchased a few packs of My minds eye paper. The pack I used for my project is called rosy...LOVE IT! I loved it so much that I wanted the paper to be the center. The background paper is 7 gypsies and pairs so well with MME. I inked the "note" paper with Tim Holtz ink and distressed the edges.

I cut the flower using the Cricut Cartridge - Sweet Treats

The leaves were cut and ran through the cuttlebug using distressed stiped.

Sweet Valentine

Hi Everyone!
I'm a little excited to share this with you, it's one of my favorite things to do.  I don't ever really say how much I use my gypsy to create but I use it with EVERY project. I always try to create and re-create boxes, bags, and anything else my little head can think of :)
So here is a lollipop holder - I know there are plenty of these out there but I decided to create this with a hole in the center and a slit tab bottom. It's just a little more sturdy to hold up in a back pack full of goodies;)  

Here is what it looks like cut and scored.

Here it is folded (Before)

Here it is folded (After)

The stamp is from My Creative Time along with the tag.

Wow, the weather sure has been strange I'm sitting here with the balcony doors wide open and a nice warm breeze drifting in, not typical for January - BUT I'm not complaining!! 

I work all week and this was my only 1/2 day so I wanted to post these little note cards I made as Christmas gifts. I gave a few different sets to friends and family and thought I would keep these as I could use them for various occasions. I made matching envelopes. I stamped/heat embossed a flower image to give the envelope a handmade feel.  

I thought I would enter these in the Creative Cutter Room Sparkle Time Challenge stop over and join in the fun! Challenge ends Jan. 11 so there is still time....

Hi Everyone!


What a beautiful day here in my city! I had some time this morning to create a fun little Holiday card! I recently purchased some Stampin Up stamps from a new bloggy friend Nikki over at Creations by Mommy.  Stop by and see some of her cards, they are just so pretty! I also recently purchased the Cricut Cartridge Jolly Holidays. I couldn't wait to try out both! I really like the cartridge and the stamps are fabulous.  For this card I created my own embellishment which is the snow.  I used cotton balls and clear transparent glitter embossing powder. I also used lots of stickles.  
 Here is the card I created and the challenges I will be entering.

Halloween Treat/Gift bag

Hi Everyone!

Can I tell you how much I love Halloween! I think it's the colors and oh yeah.... the CANDY!!!  So here is a little treat bag to hold some candy or even a small gift! I made the bag using TBBM and my gypsy.  I changed the handles a little so the opening would be a little larger.  I also tried a new technique with the ribbon I like the way it turned out.  I'm entering this in the following challenges:
