One more Cricut Creation

I made this card for a fellow Fiskateer. I wanted to try and show her I was thinking and praying for her. This is another card made with the Wild Card Cartridge on the Cricut. That cartridge helps you make such beautiful and different style cards using all the differebt features it has.

Stamp Out Alzheimer's

They will be a scrapping and stamping event beginning May 25th -June 1st over at www.stampinoutalzheimers.ning.com . For a $5.00 donation you will have access to many prizes, contests, classes etc. All the money will be going towards Alzheimer's. This event is just 1 week long so don't miss it. You can watch a video about it at the Paper Craft Planet. Click here to go there. I have also put a banner on my panel on the left side where you can make a donation if you wish. I have placed that on my blog as a request from Paper Craft Planet and I am very happy to do it. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease and we need the researchers to find answers to this disease. Do what you can and have fun during that week with what they will have to offer.

A Florida Flip Flop Crop

A Fellow Fiskateer Meghan Epperly #1358 recently held what was called the Florida Flip Flop Crop. A group of Fiskateers attended and a good time was had by all!!

These are a few of the dressed up Flip Flops!! Aren't they something?!

Here is Meghan Fiskateer #1358 FOY 2008 These Flips Flops won the contest they held!!

You will want to check out the whole event by clicking on the link above . They all look to have had the best time and made the cutest Flip Flops you have ever seen. Not only that, Meghan also made the cutest cupcakes with toppers. I thought it was so much fun to watch that I asked Meghan if it was OK to share with all of you on my blog. I was able to get some pictures of the cupcakes here to . But there are more to see.

Cute too!!

So have fun watching the video. I'm sure Meghan would love to hear what you think as much as I would. Thank you Meghan for allowing me to share this.

Mother's Day Cards

Here are a couple of Mother's Day cards I made. I love the Flower Pot card so I made another one of those on the left. I made a fold out style card on the right. I used CTMH papers and stamps. I had fun stamping from the Intrinsic Background and the Spot on backgrounds stamp sets for the flowers. Dry embossing on the Flower Pot with some sanding. The March Word Puzzle was used on the other card to stamp the flower field.

Another Cricut Creation

I had so much fun making the Graduation card I decided to try another one. I needed a Wedding card so I found this one in the book and made it. I had some embossed heart paper which worked great for the cake and envelope. I added some baby rick rack and bling and voila here it is !!! I learned so much the day I worked on these cards about the Wild Card Cartridge and my Cricut Expressions. It was some trial and error and working things out but I was happy in the end so it was well worth it. I am going to try another card hopefully tomorrow. I will let you know how I do. Enjoy the card.

A Cricut Creation

I wanted to try doing a card on my Cricut Expressions. I used the Wild Card cartridge and made this Graduation card. It was fun to see how it cut out and the very unique shape of the envelope. I made this for my Niece who graduated from college this month. I hope she likes it.

Upcoming Fiskars Demo

For the next Fiskars Demo I will be doing we will
Have fun with squeeze punches and the stamp press to make a quick and easy pocket invitation/card for you upcoming summer events.

This is the project for my next Demo. I hope everyone will have fun trying out the Summer Limited Edition Squeeze Punches. We will be using 2 of them. There are 4 all together. The two we aren't using are the wave and the ice cream cone. I thought this might be fun to do with picnics and BBQ's etc coming up this summer. What do you think? I will let you know the date when it gets scheduled.

This is the Soleil Punch

This is Gettin Antsy
