Hello Kitty cake

This is the first cake my BFF made with her new Martha Stewart Edition Cricut Cake! It really came out cute (as you can see, LOL). She made it kinda topsy turvy...it was for my friends daughters Sweet 16 birthday. The Birthday Girl LOVED it!

We Cut out a #1 & a #6 and put them in Hello Kitty's hands. She used fondant for all the images/cutouts. "Happy Birthday", Hello Kitty, the heart w/wings, the flowers & dots (which came from the middle of the flower) were cut using Hello Kitty Greeting cartridge and "Samantha" and the numbers 1 & 6 were cut using the Calligraphy Collection cartridge. I think she just used shape cutter thingys that she has had for the hearts.

Anyway, thanks for looking!

A Little Birdie told me...it's your bird-day! quick bithday card

This is a quick card I put together using the Create A Critter cartridge. The birdie and its layers were cut at 3".

I used DCVW cardstock (brown square& birdie body) & glitter cardstock (orange square, wing & beak), My Minds Eye patterned paper (birdie's body), My Pink Stamper's "Tweetie Hoo Puns" stamps, Martha Stewart corner punch and Misc embellies.

Thanks for looking and all comments are welcome!! :)

"Indulge"

Earlier this year we started improvements on our house...my Sister & I painted for weeks!! LOL Anyway, we live in a very old house that needs much attention. DH suggested letting loose and get very colorful so that is what we did! This is a pic of the entry to the laundry room from the kitchen (the next entry is a bathroom that is under construction) of which we painted two of the walls "Morrocan Red". OMG I was scared! LOL but it came out pretty nice and the "cafe latte" decor I found match the color perfectly. I just haven't found anything to hang here so I decided to cut a word with my Cricut Expression & white vinyl. I used SCAL, font is my favorite...Edwardian Script. Thanks for looking! :)

B-day gift for BFF & card using Forever Young

I whipped up this card for my BFF's birthday to give to her along with her gift...the new Martha Stewart edition of the Cricut Cake! OMG she was soooooo excited!!!

I used patterned paper from the DCWV Cafe Mediterranean Premium Stack and cardstock from the coordinating cardstock stack. The gal is from the Forever Young cart, used a Martha Stewart border punch, yellow stickles on the dress and the "sweet wishes" is from My Pink Stamper's Simply Sweet Occasions stamp set.

Here is a pic we took of her and her new toy! She kept screaming "I can't believe I got it"!!! LOL

Gift wrap or scrap??

Well, not sure if you would call this gift wrapping or gift scrapping! LOL I didn't have time to make a card before the B-day boy arrived so I just combined the gift & card together with my Cricut of course. He thought it was pretty cool. :)

Alot of us Cricut Expression owners have personalized our bugs in one way or another...here is what I have done to mine. I added a little bling to mine a while back...thinking about changing or adding more to it soon. :) Hope you like.

Gypsy travel bag/storage

Here is my new Gypsy travel bag/storage...I have been looking for jus the right size tote/purse/something, LOL for this and I found this at Walmart! Supposed to be a makeup bag I think but works perfect for my Gypsy and its accessories. Plus I love the colors and design! Just wanted to share!

Anniversary gift

Last Saturday was our 6th Anniversary! My husband has always been so good about surprising me with gifts, but this year I got him, he didn't expect a gift! He had been wanting the Droid (cell phone) for months and Friday night at Costco they had it on sale for Mother's Day weekend at a price I just couldn't pass up! So I wrapped it up in Scrapbooking double-sided cardstock paper from Masterpiece Studios and used some ribbon & metallic fibers as its bow. Came out really cute and was super simple! He loves it!

Mom Card

So my NSD plan didn't work out. Shortly after my post a friend called and my husband & I ended up going out and well, lets just say that Sunday was a day for recovery, not creativity! LOL But before we left I was able to make this card for Robyn's (My Pink Stamper) first challenge. However I didn't ever get around to uploading it for the chance to win. But wanted to post it. I think I just might go ahead and still do all the challenges anyway.

So here it is!




I used Mother's Day Cricut cartridge for "mom" (cut at 1 1/2") and the flower (cut at 2 1/2") behind it, DCWV cardstock, the background is from KI Memories Daydream cardstock paper pack and DCWV Glitter cardstock. I also used my Martha Stewart ribbon punch along the top and ran ribbon through it that I believe came from Michaels.

National Scrapbook Day!!

WooHoo!! Boy, I haven't fired up my Cricut in a long time! Busy painting the house and gardening. But I am about to get crazy and hop on over to My Pink Stamper's Blog and get my scrap on!! LOL

Happy NSD!!!!!!!!!!
