Hi Paper Lovers...




Before we get to my card.....I wanted to remind everyone that tonight at 7 PM PST time....MOMO is having her first ever U-Stream show LIVE!!!!! Hope you can make it...she is going over some basic info on card making and teaching us 4 different card folds....I am so excited and cant wait....please come if you can and support our wonderful friend!!!




Now on to the card...
I wanted to make a birthday card for Tangee's mom over at KricutKrazy She asked her blog followers to make a card for her mom which I think is so super sweet! I just had to make her one. And it gave me an exuse (like I need one) to pull out my favorite SWEET TREATS cartridge!!! I took a little break from the series, but I am back =)

I designed this card in my Gypsy but kept the sizes true to the Cricut so you can make it even if you dont have a Gypsy.
Here are the sizes......

the CUPCAKE, ICE CREAM CONE & the CAKE are all cut at 1.5"
hmm....thats it LOL!!! That was easy! Below is my YouTube tutorial. Thanks for stopping by. Hope to "see" you guys tonight on U-Stream!!! Have a blessed day!!!

Butterfly Kisses




Hi Paper lovers...

While MOMO and I were having our Sunday Skype night, this is the card I made. The very first time I looked at the handbook from Straight From the Nest...I wanted to cut out the phrase Butterfly Kisses...and I just never did, until now!!!
I wasnt too sure what I thought about the butterfly though...guess it turned out okay...not my favorite butterfly I must admit!

The shape behind the butterfly is from Gypsy Wanderings....there are some really neat tag shadows on there that I like to use! I embossed it with the Victorian Cuttlebug folder!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!!

Random Numbers with MOMO


Hi Paper Lovers....




Tonight while Skyping with MOMO from MadebyMomo.blogspot.com we decided to play a little game. I have 28 "regular" Cricut carts so she picked a # from 1-28. There are 5 rows on each Cricut overlay, so she chose a # from 1-5. Each row has 10 images so she picked a # from 1-10. And I did the same for her.....We had to cut and make a card from whatever image that turned out to be....and I did the same for her.....the FUNNY thing, we ended up both having to use Everyday Paper Dolls!!!!

So....the image I had to use was the darling cook on page 73 of the handbook. Here is the card I came up with. I have to admit I love the Stickles on the cake the best....Momo said it looks like real chocolate fudge icing....mmmmmmm!!!!!

Check out Momo's ADORABLE card HERE
