This would be perfect for a gift card or small gift!

DH and I recently celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary! Woo hoo! I had to make DH's card a special shape to hold his gift (Judas Priest concert tickets, yes I love my hubby!) He was surprised!

Cardstock: Chocolate Chip; Kiwi Kiss; Very vanilla
Ink: Chocolate Chip
Stamps: Love You Much; All Year Cheer

We celebrated our anniversary at Ruth's Chris (had a gift card we were saving for special occasion). They put rose petals on our table and the meal was outstanding! We ordered the Calamari for an appetizer and it was heavenly. Check it out:

Yummy!!!

We've been busy, we just got back from Myrtle Beach too! Had an awesome time!!!! Although it rained at night occasionally, the days were sunny and beautiful.

Here is a picture of the area we stayed. It was a couple minute walk from our campsite to the beach.











Very relaxing vacation.

Checkbook Cover

This is the checkbook cover I made for my Summer Themed Class this month.


Cardstock: Washington Apple DSP; Bashful Blue; Pumpkin Pie
Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch,, 1" circle punch, Bashful Blue 1/2" striped grosgrain ribbon, Bashful Blue brad, Naturally Serif decorative strip die.

I had a hard time deciding which side of the paper to use, either way none of the letters showed up very well, but it does look better in person, I think :)

Birthday Card

Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday! We have been having beautiful weather!!! It stormed last night but today is gorgeous!

Stamp: Its Your Birthday
Ink: Regal Rose
Accessories: Sweetest Stems and Simple Flower Embosslit Dies, Texture Plates-Backgrounds 1 and clear Rhinestone brad.

This card was very easy to make, I showed it to my club girls and they begged me to make it at our next club!

My Baby is 4!

My baby recently turned 4! ACKK! I used my Cricut to make her invitations and I wanted to make her cake match so I figured out a way to use my Cricut on her cake!!!

OK, so I didn't actually use my Cricut ON her cake, I just made the paper doll and put it on her cake! I bought this great paper at my LSS, you can't really see it in the picture, but it is glittery and so adorable!

I made the party favors using the same paper and my the Matchbox Die from Stampin' Up!'s current Occasions Mini Catalog.

Now that her birthday is over I have the paper doll to use in her scrapbook! How smart am I?? (I am sure no one ever thought to do this before! LOL)
