ONLINE TV IS A BEAUTIFUL THING

AND THESE ARE MY GUILTY PLEASURES...

BIRTHDAY CARD

I LOVE THESE PRE-MADE FLOWERS
(too bad more than half of the flowers in the package are unusable and a total waste of money. let the maker know it.)

I USED THE FISKAS FLOWER EMBOSSING PLATE, A MINI E.K. PUNCH FOR THE EDGE, A CUTE RIBBON AND SOME REALLY COOL SHINNY PAPERS.

I ALSO USED RUBONS FOR THE SENTIMENTS IN AND OUT OF THE CARD, CRICUT (WIMG) FOR THE VASE, DIMENSIONAL ADHESIVE AND A MATCHING ENVELOPE.

ENJOY!

SOME OF MY CHRISTMAS CARDS

When I made these cards I didn't have my tools or space to work on. I just wanted to work on Christmas cards so badly, so they are quite simple. My cricut and CB were in storage and very hard to get to. My friend Eliana Kaplan very generously invited me numerous times to scrap with her at her home. She let me use her CB and folders and cricut (last card's snow flakes). Shared paper and suplies. Gave me lots of boxes of square sticky glue, and LOTS of inspiration.

Thanks Cu!

TWO QUICK BUTTERFLY CARDS...

I founf these cute butterflies ribons and knew I had to make some butterfly cards.

Both very easy and quick. They measure 4'' x 4'', and used the "Happy Birthday" CB folder.

ONCE IT OPENS SCROW IT DOWN TO THE MIDDLE OF THE PAGE AND CLICK ON: ""LET'S GARDEN...""

THIS WAS A CARD THAT I MADE LAST YEAR FOR A FRIEND OF MINE THAT WAS REDOING HER GARDEN. I ENDED UP NEVER SENDING IT TO HER, DIDN'T EVEN WRITE A SENTIMENT ON THE FRONT OF THE CARD. SO I SHOULD PROBABLY MAKE A NEW ONE AND SEND IT TO HER.

IT WAS A LOT OF FUN MAKING IT. I USED ''WIMG CARTRIDGE'' FOR THE WHEELBARROW. I AM SORRY BUT I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT SIZE I CUT IT, BUT IT WAS TRIAL AND ERROR. I KEPT CUTTING UNTIL I GOT IT RIGHT. THE FLOWERS ARE SILK MINI-HYDRANGEA. I LOVE THIS LITTLE FLOWER BECAUSE IT LOOKS SO MUCH LIKE DOGWOOD. FOR THE SCALLOPED EDGE ON THE BOTTOM I USED A MINI EK PUNCH. THE PINK CENTER FOR THE FLOWERS CAN BE BOUGHT AT JOANN'S 20 OR 25 FOR A BUCK... AND AN ADORABLE RIBBON.

ANYWAY... HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY. THANKS TO ALL THAT LEFT A MESSAGE ON THE CRICUT FORUM. AND THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION.
