CardzTV Card Designers Challenge #3 Thank You Cards

Hi everyone,
It's time for another challenge at CardzTV. The challenge this week is to make a thank you card. Super easy. We always need thank you cards.

I used the wonderful Brew Ha Ha stamp set which I love! I also love my coffee! I am not fully awake until I have had at least 2 cups.

I also used the Cricut Lite Love You a Latte cartridge and some Bo Bunny Valentine paper. Be sure to visit the CardzTV blog to join the challenge and you could be a winner of some cute CardzTV stamps!

I've eaten a chocolate cake

Hi everyone,
I have a fun little birthday card to share for you all. I always need birthday cards, especially since I have been making and giving cards to teachers at my school. This one, I believe uses a cake cut from the Sweet Treats cartridge. But you can use any cake cut and of course you would need this super fun sentiment from CardzTV.

I also used some sequins from Pretty Pink Posh. In the video you will see me have a glue catastrophe! Hah! Anyway, it was easily cleaned up.

Panda Card

Hi everyone,
Today's card is a super simple one. I was trying to use up the last of my Christmas scraps. The card reminds me a little of Chinese New Year must be the Panda. It's a little early for Chinese New Year as it's I think February 18. I don't celebrate lunar year but many of my students do! Or maybe it's in celebration of the new Kung Fu Panda movie which my kids were super excited to see.
Here is my card for today:

Birdie Hugs

Hi everyone,
I think this might be my last winter thank you card and most likely the last time that I use Christmas paper until the end of the year. Here is my card for today!

I also have a video for you all too!




I think it came out so cute. I still really like my older cartridges. It would be nice if Provo Craft came out with some new ones similar to their old style.

Disney Days Mini Album

Hi everyone,
Today's project is a mini album that I made as a gift for a friend. The last couple of days of my winter break, I was a little under the weather and was in my pajamas for most of that time but I didn't waste my time. I put together this little album with scraps and my stash!

Here is my project:

I also used a couple of pieces that I was hoarding so that felt good too! No more hoarding because there is always new stuff to buy and discover. Here is my video:

Sledding Boy Cricut Card

Hi everyone,
I am back with another project. Today, I am sharing one of the Thank You cards that I made for my kids to send out for their Christmas presents. This year my 7 year old daughter Lily wrote out all the thank you cards. She was so cute because she would add cute little things to it, like hearts or she would write I miss you or I love You or I can't wait to see you. Super cute. Anyway, here is my card:

Smash Book #1 Finally completed!

Hi everyone,
I finally completed my Smash Book. Of course, I am a year behind but I was able to finish this Smash Book and begin anew with 2015. I have sworn to myself to catch up and so I ordered some more printer ink and paper to start printing pictures. I do think that I am going to see what kind of deals there are in sending them out for printing as I would be faster. Still debating....

Anyhow, here is the video of my finished Smash Book:



If you are interested, here are the links to my other Smash Book updates:

It does feel to complete it. I will probably continue this format as I have a ton of Smash Books that I have purchased on clearance and it is a great way to use up scraps and other ephemera and washi that I don't use in my other crafting.

Happy Birthday Card using the Explore Pen Feature

Hi everyone,
I am trying to post more often in the New Year. My goal is to do at least 2 projects a week so I will see how that goes. I actually worked on my son's school scrapbook this weekend. Or I should say I started it as he is now in 4th grade and it was a little difficult recreating and/or finding pictures but I did the best I could in terms of utilizing pictures from that year.

Today's project was a Pinterest find and so I cannot take credit for it but I was excited to utilize the pen feature in my Cricut Explore. Here is my project:

12 Days of Christmas Mini Album and Decor piece

Hi everyone,

I am sharing my last official Christmas project. I was hoping that I would get it done in time for my 25 Days of Christmas but it just didn't happen. I made a Christmas album from Kathy King aka Paper Phenomenon's house and 6x6 album tutorial. I really have a lot of problems with 3D projects so my house roof is slightly wonky but I covered it up with lots of sparkle ribbon. Be sure to watch the video to see the entire project. It needs two pictures that I am waiting for otherwise it is complete!

The album fits inside the house and I used Graphic 45's 12 Days of Christmas paper pad for this project.


Thanks so much for visiting today.

25 Days of Christmas - Day 25

Hi everyone!

Made it to the last day. I actually have one other Christmas project to share but it's not quite ready to share so I probably will share it around New Year's. In the meantime, my project today is about preserving Christmas cards. Or at least one idea on how you can save them in a cute and crafty way. Excuse the video, some rambling and struggle with bookrings is on display!



I hope that everyone is having or had a wonderful holiday. My holiday continues tomorrow when my kids come home and we can open presents. Today, I am headed to my parents house. My dad will be making breakfast and I will watch my nieces open presents. Then home to clean up. Yikes! My house is a total mess. Thanks so much for visiting me this holiday season!
