Berry Sweet!!!

So besides our P.A.L.S group spoiling our teachers the student council sent home notes for the kiddos to spoil their teachers.  Each day something new.  So today, Tuesday, is Fruit.  I didn't want to give her a plan old apple.  I wanted something special and different.  I saw another "sweet" idea on, yes you guessed it, Pinterest and ran with this theme of strawberries.  I used Cricut Cartridge Simply Charmed and made a strawberry and the saying.  I am totally in love with glitter paper these days and orange...I just can't get enough!!  

Tomorrow my son will give his 4th grade teacher a package of strawberries with this cute label on top.  Because I embossed the strawberry I am going to enter this craft into Sprinkle With Glitter's for her National Scrapbooking Day challenge.  National Scrapbooking Day was on Saturday, May 5th (my 40th bday...whohoo).  


Here's her challenge:  Your National Scrapbook Day Challenge from me is to create a project using embossing.  You can create ANY type of project and use ANY type of embossing.


I used my cuttlebug and swiss dots to give the strawberry a 3D look and it looks a little more realistic?!?

I know my son's teacher will love this and I hope you did too!

Have a Berry Sweet Day!!

Father's Day Card

So better late than never!!! Here is the card I made for Ted from the boys for Father's Day. I used my new Expression2 Anniversary Edition Cricut to make the card. On this Cricut it's loaded with 4 cartridges, one of them being "Cricut Decals". I used page 52 Pairs 1 for the king. I used googlie eyes to make it even cutier.



I used my cuttlebug "spots and dots" folder for the background as well as some ribbon I have had for years. I found it in the dollar section (you know you stop and look there) at Target when they first started selling scrapbooking/craft supplies. It was just enough for one card.

Ted really enjoyed the card and kept it out on display for several weeks.

Have a crafty Day!!

Birthday Card Swap and Inking it Up Design Team Submission

Hey crafty crafters out there!! I have posted a new card I made for a birthday card swap I have been invited to. This is my first card swap ever and I am super excited. I made a simple 3 1/2 x 5 inch birthday card. I used my Gypsy and brand new 12x12 teal cricut expression. I love her, she's soooooo beautiful to look at!! I used the Smiley Cards cartridge. I used the devine swirl folder to emboss the icing with my cuddlebug. I used the star dust Stickles to bling up her cheeks and tongue.

I have recently starting following another blog Inking it Up. I see she has a Design Team Call, so I am going to submit this card to possible get on her team.

Have a super crafty day!!
