Quick Thank You Card


I needed to whip up a quick thank you card for my soon-to-be in-laws! They purchased us the most amazing suitcases off our wedding registry. Now we will actually have something to pack all of our honeymoon goodies in.... we were a bit worried since neither one of us previously owned luggage. So anyways, used Wild Card cart for the scalloped circle and Accent Essentials for the middle circle. The stamp is an old one that I think I bought at Target for about $1.00! The butterfly paper is from a new DCWV pack that I recently purchased. Love the paper! I hope my future in-laws enjoy the card. They are amazing and have done so much for us. Wedding countdown: 63 days and counting!

Jungle Diaper Cake


My good friend Jenny is having a baby in July, but her baby shower is coming up in a few weeks. I am hosting the shower and trying to make things vs buying things for it. I want it to really have a fun personal touch. Here is the diaper cake that I made for the shower. I have never made one before, but once I got started I realized it was quite easy! It's not perfect, but it still looks really good. I used my Create a Critter cartridge to create all of the animals around it, and made some pinwheels to stick on the top. The "cake" has a few baby items within that you can't see from the outside. I am actually very proud of myself! I didn't think it would work out well, but it actually came out great! I hope you enjoy looking at it!

Hello Kitty Notebook


I finally broke down and purchased the Hello Kitty Cricut cartridge. Now, I am not the biggest fan of Hello Kitty, but I figured I would know enough people who would enjoy the images to make it worth it. This is the first project I have completed using the cartridge. Surprisingly enough the layers are really easy to put together! The notebook was assembled using my Bind It All system that I purchased about a year ago. There are 25 blank sheets inside and the notebook itself measures 4" by 6". Not too bad for the first cut I've made with this cartridge. It could definitely use some more decoration, but all in all I think it came out okay. I hope you all enjoy!

Tree Hugger


This image was just too cute! I cut it from the "Give a Hoot" cartridge at 3.75". The paper is from a DCWV stack that I had laying around. I'm not sure what they name of it was called. The sentiment was stamped using individual alphabet stamps. I was surprised I managed to line them up so straight! Haha. I inked around the edges to give the image more depth. It is simple yet super cute. I hope you enjoy!
