Party Thank You Treat Bags

Tomorrow while we are with my husband's side of the family for Easter, we will be celebrating my son's 6th birthday. (Even though he doesn't turn 6 until the 22nd.)  So on top of making Easter baskets for the kids, I made little thank you bags too. Here's how they turned out:

(you can click on the pictures to see them larger)

I needed to make for 2 girls and 3 boys.

I decorated these cute little canvas bags with Cricut Cuts (except for the bunny - That's a Bugaboo Digi Stamp.)  I also used Sweet Stamp Shop stamps for the sentiments and names.

Just for fun I made some funny face Straw Toppers using a cut from Graphically Speaking.

I added Googly Eyes to make them more fun.

On the back of the straw toppers I added magnets. That way they can remove the straw topper and put it on the fridge to use the next time. : )  (That's of course if the topper doesn't get destroyed on their first time using it.)

I also made a few popsicle stick characters for the youngest 4 to play with. 

These were done quickly and not with a lot of detail.

They were cut using the Best Images of 2009 cartridge.

I used the Cricut Craft Room to make them, flip the image for the back side and to hide the eye cut out on the back image. I also used the Cricut Ink pen to trace them first before I cut them. 

So along with the straw toppers, some extra straws and the stick figures, I added some candy and a snack pack.

Thanks for taking a look. Hope you got some inspiration. Let me know if you have any questions.

God Bless.

Love Birds - 1962

Today's post is a layout for my parent's 50th anniversary scrapbook. I won the In Love Collection from Webster's Pages.  It is such a gorgeous collection and I'm actually having a hard time using it because I want to hoard it!  Shame on me. I know.   If you check out their website you can see all the incredible products they have and tons of beautiful sample pages on how to use them.   I really love the layered, heavily embellished pages that they showcase but I'm not so good at making those kinds of pages.  I guess I'm more of a clean and simple gal!  (probably because I'm hoarding the supplies!!!)  So anyway, on to my layout:

a little closer view of some of the embellishements

I love all the beautiful embellishments that Webster's Pages provides. 

The cameo, the resin heart, the rhinestone button, the heart ribbon trim, & the Love Birds journaling card are all part of the In Love Collection.

I cut out the words "Cherish" & "Forever" from the patterned paper.

I also fussy cut the flower part from the paper and used foam tape to give it some dimension.

The butterflies are stamps that I stamped and cut out. I added some Stickles to them and a pearl dot.

 Here's another layout I've made using Webster's Pages In Love Collection.

I cut the bird cage out of the In Love papers using the Best Images of 2009 Cricut Cartridge. 

The other layered border shapes were cut using Elegant Edges Cricut Cartridge.

I used the beautiful fabric tag, princess petal, & flower cameo embellishements.

The word "family" is alpha stickers from the In Love Collection too.

Not hard to make a pretty layout with their incredible products. : )

Thanks for taking a look. 

Have a blessed day. 

Thank You cards

I saw on the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog that their challenge this week is a color challenge. 

#100 – FCCB Color Challenge 
Use the three colours associated with Fantabulous Cricut (purple,green and turquoise) somewhere on your project

So I was in need of some thank you cards and this is what I came up with:

When will I learn to stop using Shimmer Paper when I'm going to be taking a picture!?!

It really is hard for me to photograph it but it sure looks pretty in person.

I cut the flowers from the Best Images of 2009 cartridge. 

I cut  some strips of the same papers to fill up some space.

Stamped the leaves and the sentiments.

Added a metal button to one card and a turquoise stone to the other.

Inked the edges and ta-da! : )

Two cards that came together pretty quickly. 

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Come back again soon. 

Cupcake Card

The challenge over at Cardz TV this week is to make a card with a birthday cake or a cupcake on it using any colors and any cartridges we want.

Here's my card. 

I used  the Best Images of 2009 cartridge for my cupcake.

The papers are all DCWV  

except for the brown polka dot base layer on the cupcake. That's Echo Park.

The sentiment is a stamp from Sweet Stamp Shop's "Scootin by" set.

I used Stickles on the cherry.

I used my crimper on the cupcake wrapper. 

Inked all the edges with Colorbox Chestnut Roan ink.

I used my Marvy corner rounder to round one edge on each layer. 

The cupcake is popped up with foam squares. 

That about covers it for this card.  Thanks for taking a moment to look.
