Thank you

Minnie Mouse Thank you Cards

Alivia's first birthday we had a Minnie Mouse themed party. These are the Minnie Mouse Thank-you cards I made for the gifts she received. They are super cute. I love the Mickey and Friends Disney cartridge I have for my cricut. I really love my cricut. I love to see the reaction on people's face when I give them a card like this. It is really not hard but looks like it! The cricut does most of the work for you. 

If you gave Alivia something for her birthday I hope you received one of these. If not they are at my daughter's ready to be written and sent to you. Let me thank you here in writing if you didn't get one.

Thanks everyone for stopping by!

Big Hugs

Hello Everyone, 

I am so excite about the new cricut cartridge I got "Lacy Labels". The shapes are so pretty. They are very "lacy" and delicate!  

 Row 1 Number 1 (Love You)

     I don't like this card but I wanted to see the different shapes on this cartridge. I guess I will name them by number and then how they show up on the screen. I am not sure how to do it since the cricut lite cartridges don't have a book. They only have a brocure like paper. (which btw is laminated which I really like) Just thought I'd throw that in. ...at no extra cost. hahaha  

     This is the Row 1 Number 1 (on the overlay) It has a layer that says Love You thus the Name "Love You" but I ran out of time today and I wanted to get this posted. I don't like the red background with the red ink (from the stamp "Big Hugs") so this card I am sure will change. I will repost when I get it the way I like it. (fair enough) ...better go it is Wednesday, prayer meeting night at church and I have some errands to do while I am in town (gotta save gas you know) I am leaving a little early to get everything finished.  Happy Crafting

Thinking of You

Hello Everyone,
     I have another card for you. This is from Cricut Lite Cartridge "Lacy Labels"  (ones from Wal-mart) I love this cartridge. I love all the delicate edges & beautiful shapes that it has. Maybe I can do a card for each shape ??? There are a lot of intricate cuts and do not lend themselves to small cards so we will have to see.    

Front

This is very simple and easy card. I cut a piece of white cards stock in half and then folded it in half to make this card (5.5 x 4.25) I cut the blue shape @ 2.5 as well as the other two layers. (white flower layer & "thinking of you" layer)  The dots for the "i" was so small I used a hole punch to make dots.

     I am sure I won't be able to keep up this pace all year. I have posted 3 cards in 3 days but I do hope to post at least one per week.  If I can do more I will (as this week) and if not I hope you all understand. Please leave me a comment and become a follower of my blog. Happy Crafting

Guess "hoo" loves you

Hello Everyone,
  This is the card I started for Saturday Dec 31st. I made the "hoo" love you and an owl to go on the front of the card but the card was too small to put both on the front so I added the ribbon and will use the owl on another card.

I leave the inside blank to write a note to the children.

Here is the owl that I made.  I am not sure which card it will go on. I will post it when I use it.

I'm bananas 4 you

Hello Everyone,
    Happy New Year! I hope to do more blogging this year. I am sorry about 2011. When Bob went into the hospital it just seems my whole world was turned up-side down.  I can"t seem to get back into the groove of things.  I hope 2012 will be much better. I will try to post cards or 12x12s at least once a week. (no promises, but that is the goal)

Here is a card I did few weeks ago and never got posted. I have a card I made for the children in my Sunday School class.

Inside

As you can see this could be used for any number of reasons. Birthday, thinking of you, get well. just about anything.  I love this little monkey. I am sure this is not the last you will see of him. (tee hee hee)

I have to cut this short b/c I have to run but I will try to post more soon!

Lady Bug Cards

Here are some cards I made for the children in my Sunday School Class (3 & 4 year olds) The ladybug is cut with the Cricut Doodlecharms cartridge. 

I love lady bugs. The kids really loved them. They really liked the fuzzy antenna. These are made with the sentiment "so thankful for you" on the front.

 This is a quick look at the inside ...I just stamped a couple of ladybugs and added the sentiment. You could also stamps the ladybugs with red ink. 

The back of the card. I do not have a signature stamp yet. (remember I'm a newbie) 

Here is one more with the same lady bug but with the antenna drawn on with Sharpie marker and a different sentiment on front "Thanks Friend"
