Bird Cage

Good Monday Night to you!!!
Hope your night is toasty warm. We woke up to 70 degrees and quickly plummeted to like around 30 something by noon. Tennessee weather is soooooo crazy.
Anywho.. My mother's birthday is March 2nd and I needed a card for her. I actually whipped both of these up pretty quickly. I used my new April Showers Cricut cart for the bird cage. I just stinkin' LOVE it.. I am not sure of the maker of the two patterned papers. The company's name was already cut off. I had used these papers in some decor in the kitchen. The Happy Birthday is a set from PTI Birthday Basics as is the ribbon (Summer Sunrise) and the base cardstock (Smokey Grey). I am all over yellows and oranges these days. I hope you like it and thanks for stopping by. Have a great tomorrow.
Cheers!

Gift Packaging

Hi All!!
Hope you are enjoying your evening. I am checking in to share how I wrapped up a gift I made for my sister. Next week she starts to work in the office that I work in! Yea, how fun is that?! We cannot work in the same department but we will still see each other. To celebrate her new career move I bought her a personalized lunch tote from ThirtyOne. Have you ever seen their things? OH SO CUTE. All of there bags, purses, totes etc.. I wish I would have taken a pic of the bag before I gave it to her. I did not have a bag the right size so I wrapped it with brown mailing paper just adorned it with a little handmade tag. I used a couple of Cricut Carts oh gosh, I think George Basics, Story Book and ??? The (white) circle did not cut a true circle, I was a little disappointed in that. The stamp set is PTI Around and About as well as the polka dot paper and ribbon. Thanks for coming to see me today! Have an awesome tomorrow!
Cheers!

Rock Star

Happy Thursday All!!!
wooo hooo!!! Tomorrow is FRI-DAY! yippeee.. So glad the weekend is almost here. Tomorrow evening I get to meet my girlfriends for dinner and maybe venture out to see a band play after that or just sit and chit chat. Then Saturday my daughter has her first dance competition of the season. So much fun. Then Sunday if I am not worn out we MAY do a little shopping. I havent been shopping for anything other than groceries since Christmas. Yikes! Ya know it is time to get my eyes checked. I need to try to fit that in also. Anyway.............. I colored this image quite a while back and found it recently. I think I did a pretty okay job so I decided to whip it into a card. The background paper is from Creative Memories and the stars and rock star cut out is from my favorite Cricut cart Rock Princess. After I already took the pictures I decided the word rock star is a little lost in the card so I swiped the edges with a white paint pen. It stands out much better now but lazy me did not feel like messing with taking another pic and editing and all of that so use your imagination please. LOL. Thanks a whole bunch for looking!!! Have a great weekend.
Cheers!

Baby Logan's Valentine Day Card

Happy Snowy Day!
Dang it is CRAZY out tonight. This snow storm is crazy slick. It is taking people hours to get home. I am sooooo glad I left early today! Anywho ... I wanted to share a card I made for grandbaby for Valentines Day. Well he is 2 years old so I guess he is not a baby anymore. I used the Nifty Fifties Cricut Cart... LOVE!!! The paper is old school BasicGrey, gosh I guess 4 years old? I printed out the sentiment on the computer. This is from my FAVORITE BOOK I read to my daughter "Guess How Much I Love You". I wanted to cry every time I read it to her. Those sweet little star gems are from Jenni Bowlin that I picked up and one of her sales at a near by Hotel she has once a year. Sweet that I live in the same town as her! Enjoy your night! Thanks for stopping by.
Cheers!

Cricut Car Happy Birthday

Hola Everyone!

It has been a minute since I last posted. I had the brilliant idea to clean and polish the hardwood floors. It sooooo needed it. Actually, it wasn't that bad however, I still have the second floor landing and the stairs to go. I'm kinda dreading the stairs though. Anywho.. on to the card! Yeah! I made a card. I bought the Nifty Fifties Cricut Cart right after Christmas. It is soooo cute. I decided to make a man card because my dads birthday is coming up next month. I think he will like this one. The back ground paper is from Close to my Heart as well as the cardstock and stamp. Its a simple layout but a man doesn't want fru fru on his card huh? I hope you like it and I am so glad you came by today. Have an awesome Wednesday night!
Cheers!
