Happy Year ~ Birthday Card

My grandpa's 85th birthday is on July 7th! I made this cute card to send to him. He and my grandma are going to my parent's house for a small birthday celebration. Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to make it because classes for my masters program begin Wednesday. Even though I will not be able to see him on his special day, I know he will enjoy the card and enjoy being with my mom and dad!

"Happy Year" ~ Birthday Card

Bridal Shower Invitation

My best friend Jenna, is getting married on October 1, 2011. As her Maid of Honor, I am in charge of making her invitations for the shower. As I was browsing through some other scrapbook blogs, I saw an idea similar to this one and thought it would be perfect! I used the "Jasmine" Cricut cartridge to cut out the background shapes. I used the "Tie the Knot" Cricut cartridge to make the dress silhouette. Anyway, I am pretty excited about how it turned out! I hope all the guests will enjoy it.

New House ~ Congratulations!

My friend, Amy, and her husband, Jim, just recently bought a new house! Using the "Going Places" Cricut cartridge, I was able to cut a cute key to attach to the top of the page. I don't remember which cartridge I used for the house, I believe it was a Cricut Lite one though! Anyway, I love how this card turned out. I love the colors, and how the key and word pops!

Thank You ~ Apples

This school year, I had two para-educators who came into my classroom to help with writing and language arts. They both did a fantastic job! I wanted to make them very special thank you cards, to show them how much I appreciated everything they did for me and for the students. For these cards, I used the "Preserves" Cricut Cartridge. I was able to cut all the different layers and glue them together. I added the "Thank You" label to each one, just by printing it off on my computer, cutting it down to the size I wanted, and chalking it with "Creamy Brown."
