Male thank you card

Hello everyone! Hope your having a great week. Is it me or does it seem like May is just flying by...lol Maybe its cause I am trying to get a project done that has to be done by June 1st. Nephew is graduating high school so been going through many old photos, you know the old 35 prints we used to all went digital...lol Talk about going down memory lane, found some I had forgot about. :) So that has been what I have been up to. But I did want to take some time this week to share I card. A friend asked me to make a card for her, she was needing a male thank you card. I broke out a new cricut cart I have had for some time but had not used yet, the Pagoda cart. I used the dragon fly's cut at 3 inch. Okay well better get back to work on the project....lol Things will get back to normal soon bare with me and thanks for stopping by my blog.

Birthday card

Hope everyone is having a good week, this week has been so fast. Lest it seems to have been for me....lol I am sorry I have not posted in the last week but I am working on a graduation project for my nephew. He graduates June 1st so I am really trying to get as much done as I can. But till I get it done and things get less busy here is a card I made for DH Grand mother's birthday. Very simple care not very fancy at all. Well thanks for looking :)

Mother's Day Cards

Happy Friday! Well as promised here is another post, I know shock right two post in one week....lol Life is getting back to normal it seems. I needed four Mother Day cards and with time being limited I made them all the same. Would like to have made each one different but I was really getting close to needing them to go out. Wanted to make something different than the normal card layouts I have been doing. So I thought I make a portrait card since had not made one in while. The base card was 5 inch wide by 6 inch long and I used kraft card stock. I cut the scallop circle on the cricut and well as the pattern paper circle. I was able to make two cards from each circle. And I used the real dial size feature for cutting them since I wanted the circles to layer at the top of each card.The half scallop circle is popped up with foam tape. Between the popped up layer and the pearls and gems I used on the prima flowers I was a little worried about them during the mailing process. I did add extra stamps in case, so fingers crossed they will get there and make it in one piece...lol As normal the supplies I used will be listed at the bottom. Thanks for stopping in and looking. :)

Mother's Day Gift Box

Hello hope everyone is having a good May so far. Ours is going okay. Its been busy this past week and a half. Reason why I have not made a post yet. We had DH parents in town last week, they only stayed a week but I spent a few days getting the house ready. Had to convert the craft room to a guest bedroom...lol I will say the fold up table did come in handy, all I did was fold it up and store it till they left. I lose my room while there here but no biggie....lol Anyway they left left this past weekend so Monday I got my room back and I spent Tuesday working on some Mother's Day cards. I will post those next but first I wanted to share this altered gift box.
I will be honest I made this a few weeks ago and was saving it for the Patches of Pink design team post. But Jalisa has decided to take a break from here blog being she just had her second child not long ago and I really do understand time is limited. I don't have kids so I can only imagine how hard it is to handle a baby and a small child to take care of. So for now she is going to be taking a break and I wont be making any more Design team post for Patches of Pink. I very much enjoyed the 5 months I got to work with all the great ladies and thank her for having me having me on her DT. So with that said I thought I share this anyways.

I got this box with the necklace I bought for my mom and I did not like it so I thought why not dress it up....lol I had seen this idea for making flowers on a video and thought how cute is that. So I had to try it. The flower is made from nothing but circle die cuts so you can use your die cut machine or dies and a old book. I used nest abilities circle dies I had. I covered the box and used tim holtz distress ink and glimmer mist. Also used the distress in and glimmer mist on the flower as well. Well thanks for looking and I will another post tomorrow. Since our company is gone and I have got caught up on things life is getting back to normal....lol

Patches of Pink Link Up Party

Its Patches of Pink Link up party time! This months theme was anything baby related. I dont have any little ones myself so I decided to make a card. Figured a baby card on hand always comes in handy, was going to make it non gender but thought I dont get to make girl cards very much. Plus I just fell in love with this paper pack....lol The design team made some amazing cards and decorations. Had so many cute ideas.

For the card I used the DCWV paper pack (The French Country Stack). Its such a pretty paper pack has a shabby chic look to it. I love shabby chic so I just had to get it...lol The photo dont pick up the glitter paper very well for the back ground paper but its pretty shinny. Its got a mix of glitter papers and plain patterns. I am a big fan of DCWV papers so forgive me for going about it....lol Anyway I will have all supplies listed below and if you would like to join in and link up your baby projects you have made hop over to Patches of Pink and link up to the party.

Before I end the post wanted to say I know its been a long time since I have posted and I am so sorry. I have been kinda going through some personal stuff, I am going to try to make sure I get more post done. Just hard to craft when you have a mental mind block....lol Also I have been working around the yard. We got a garden planted after I said I was not going to do one this year....lol Maybe we will have better luck with it this year, last year the drought made it hard to grow anything. Anyway again sorry I have not posted and I will try to get more post in soon. Thanks for stopping by :)

Easter cards

I am so so sorry I have not posted till now. I had planned to have these cards done Tuesday and posted Tuesday but Texas weather decided to unless it fury....lol All day yesterday from noon to 7 pm it was coverage of tornado warning after tornado warning. There saying as many as 15 touch downs, one in Dallas area stayed on the ground 20 mins. I knew it was bad when I got a call from out of state family and they say they seen it on CNN...lol Not a good sign. But thank god all we got was the rain and storm part, amazingly not a single person died. And when you see there is nothing left of some homes that is amazing. Here is the one that hit near Dallas, this one stayed on the ground 20 mins.

Anyway later that night after everything settled down I was able to craft and get some Easter cards done. Easter creep ed up on me this year, I will be honest did not realize Easter was this Sunday. So I had to make all the cards the same I tried to make something simple but yet I hope is cute. I used an old cricut cart Doodle Charms. I had never used this little rabbit so thought it was an easy cut to mass produce. I did curl the ears down some and add some pink chalk on the cheeks and inside ear to spruce it up. I also added glossy accents to the nose. Sorry the camera did not pick up the pink on the rabbit well.

Thanks for looking :)

Your a fab friend!

Happy Friday everyone! Hope everyone had a good week. Its so pretty outside here today I have all the doors open and the laundry hanging outside on the line. Its been a productive day here I have done some laundry and cleaned. And we got our Tv fixed, the screen was messed up. Cant understand though why on earth they get a 1400.00 dollar screen for our tv when we only paid 800.00 for it....lol All total the bill was almost 2,200 for a 800.00 tv. And no we did not have to pay a dime we had warranty on the tv at best buy. Firm believer in warranty's on tvs..lol The Geek squad guy was great and he got it fixed but had he told me how much it was going to run I would have said hey how about we call it done and credit us for our tv and well just get another one. We could have saved them that expense and we could have got a little bigger tv it would have been a win win...lol Oh well lesson learned next time I will for sure ask how much even if its not coming out of our pockets. So that has been my day, here in a bit I am going for a bike ride since its so nice.  After the much needed rain we got this week it nice to see the sun and it be 70 plus outside. But the lake is now over the normal level so that is a blessing considering we was 7 ft below normal. I guess I can say lest out part of Texas is getting out of the drought. We have to mow this weekend with all the rain its got pretty tall. And we have more weeds than grass so we have to work on that....lol Anyway thought I pop in and share a card I made. The stamp I used is from the Michael's 1.00 area stamps. I thought it turned out pretty cute for only being 1.00. I colored some parts in with a blender pen and ink pads. Will say blender pens are pretty handy to have around if you like to stamp images. I also added some glossy accents to the eyes to make them dimension. Anyway hope everyone has a great weekend and you are having wonderful spring weather as well. :) Supplies will be listed below thanks for looking
