Daughter's first card!!!

This card is my 4 1/2 year old daughter's very first card that she has colored all by herself. She picked out the stamps and used the waterbrush and Stampin up's watercolor crayons to color her images. Mom of course cut out the images and helped with cutting the paper. Then she placed the images on the card with pop dots and added some bling. I think she did an awesome job on this card.

And here is a card mommy made while Libby was busy doing hers. I used shimmer spray on the embossed background. Although the picture does not show it the balloon and cake are sparkly.

First Mini Album

Well I did it, I created my first mini album! This was challenging since I am so used to making cards. I used the DCWV holiday collection christmas stack for the papers. I used Laura's envelope idea at  Followin the Paper Trail  in the middle to create more room for tags and photo inserts since I left the middle open for the most pictures. This album was done for a friend at work. The word family was cut out on the cricut and the hand made with love on the back was cut from the cricut using the wild card cartridge.

Another paper doll dress up lantern

For this lantern I used the paper doll dress up and did a christmas theme. I used the christmas tree, santa, mrs. clause, 2 reindeer and the elf. The lantern was done using an SU wheel in real red for the sides and a snowflake stamp from the SU Christmas Punch stamp set (since there was going to be a few of us ladies we wanted to do the lanterns with stamps to cut down on designer paper). I did make one alteration to the lantern pattern. I cut out a hole to allow for the battery operated tealight to be secured to the bottom of the lantern with the hole giving you access to the battery and on and off switch for the tealight.

Thanksgiving Lantern

Came across a cut file from paper pastime for this lantern and decided to make one for Thanksgiving. I used Cricut's Paper Doll Dress Up for the pilgrims and indians. The paper is an old stack from Debbie Mum from last year or so. The faces are a Peachy Keen stamp set. This was a fun project and I plan on getting one of those flameless candles for the inside. Thanks for looking.

Halloween treat box

Here is an A2 size treat box for Halloween goodies using the trick or tweet stamp from Stampin Up. I used the drippy goo punch for the drippy border and added glow in the dark squibbles to that.

Chrysanthemum pumpkin display

The chrysanthemum flowers were cut with the cricut using scal and an svg file from svgcuts.com. The flowers were made with textured cardstock and sponged and curled for dimension along with the leaves. The pumpkin is a craft pumpkin for a local scrapbook store with the top cut and floral form added to the inside for the flowers to sit into. The butterfly design was cut from the cricut using vinyl. And the final touch was the ribbon bow. This was a fun but long project, but the outcome was worth it.
