Happy Birthday!

It is so nice to have some time off at Christmas!  I have not left my home for the past three days!  Who needs to leave when I have all the scrapbooking supplies to keep me busy for several months.  Well, okay a 50% Michaels coupon is a good reason to venture into the cold frigid air.

Anyway, here is a card I made for my brother's birthday next month.  The inspiration for the card was the Mojo Monday sketch. As you can tell from my posts I love the Cricut. I used the Sweet Treats cartridge for the cupcake and Accent Essentials for the rosette.  I inked the paper using Tim Holtz distressing inks.

Pirate

My daughter has a birthday party to go to this weekend, so I decided to make the card.  I found some pirate paper at the $1 store so decided to go with the pirate theme.  The figure is from the Cricut cartridge paper dolls (one of my favourite cartridges).

Let It Snow!

Well, here is yet another holiday card.  This one seemed to take forever as I kept changing things, such as first the background was white but it looked too stark.  I am happy with how the card turned out.  The snowflakes and paper are from Michaels.  I used the Cricut cartridge Stretch Your Imagination for the image.

Construction Invitation

A co-worker and I have decided to switch services.  From her I got this cute wooden Rudolph ornament (which my kids love) that her husband is making and selling, and I will be making her son's birthday invitations.  Below is the design I came up with.
