Valentine Cards for my lil bugs

This card was for my dd. She has quite the list for Prince Charming so this card was a funny spin on that. He must sing, have blue eyes, etc. so I told her that Prince Charming does exist but sometimes he needs a woman's touch and colored contacts. LOL I then added blue crystals for his brown eyes.                        
This little guy turned out to be such a cutie. I love monkeys! My son is quite the character and can drive me bananas but I adore him more than I can say. I included a bag of the banana runt candy with his card which is a favorite candy of his.

Supplies used
Frog - Sweethearts
Monkey - Sweethearts
Music Notes - Stretch Your Imagination
Heart - misc Stamp and cut around by hand

I hope you enjoy my cards and be sure to leave me a comment if you do.
Have a blessed day!

Sunflower card from Stretch Your Imagination

I had a great time making this card and playing with the Stretch Your Imagination cart. This is the first time I used the card feature. It was super easy.
I cut the base from some gold cardstock and the frame from some goldish yellow cardstock. I then cut a chocolate chip cardstock to go inside of the card for the background color.
I couldn't stop there so I took the yellow cardstock and played with my cricut markers. I chose just the flower and cut it at the size of the one on the card with my markers and then pushed load last and cut it out. I attached it at an angle with pop dots. I then took some Sunburst Luster Rub-ons and rubbed it around the edges of the card and the center of the flower for a pearly effect. Then I took my dark brown marker and went over the seeds again to make them pop.
I took a little ladybug stamp I have and stamped the envelope.
I love this little card and it was really quick to do. I wish I had video taped it. I may have to make another to show the card feature and all the fun stuff you can do with it.
Hope you liked it and I'd love to hear your comments.
Have a great day

Disney All Star Music

Between all the college stuff I've been scrapping as much as possible. Just a little here and a little there but I have been able to accomplish some.

These are photos from our 2006 Disney trip so I dug back for the pictures. I still need to print my journaling and adhere it to the bottom left.

I cut the title with my cricut and Design Studio and the Plantin Schoolbook cart. This was my first try using the endcap feature. It cut great except it didn't cut the straight line across the letters. I used the tall ball font which doesn't have the end cap feature. Lesson learned for future use. It was easy enough to put it on my cutter and cut though. I stretched the design so much I couldn't use the shadow feature without really tweaking soI hand cut the yellow shadow. It still needed something so I cut the yellow stars and added them on top with pop dots. It really made a lot of difference.

Here's close ups of page 1. Music Notes are from Stretch Your Imagination and the arrow is from Accent Essentials.
And close up page 2. Mickey head is from the Mickey Font cart and the bracket is from Plantin.
Thanks for checking out my pages and I love to receive comments. Have an awesome day.

Disney DeVine Layout


This is my second layout I completed for my Disney album this weekend. Our last trip we finally saw the infamous and hard to spot DeVine. She was fabulous and a little creepy. After spotting her I wondered how many times we had walked past her and not seen her.



I used the Tink cart for the flowers and the scrolls. The leaves are from Stretch Your Imagination and the letters are from Jasmine. I welded the letters together in DS.





This is a close up of the flowers from the Tink cart. I love this cart but it is very detailed which makes it hard to get clean cuts and sometimes figure out what goes where.
