Leopard Shoes

When I saw this leopard paper I knew it had to be a shoe!! I wanted the card to be simple and let the shoe speak for itself. I added glossy accents to make the shoe appear glossy and embossed the background in a solid color. I did several different sayings but these were my favorite! Everyone loves a great pair of shoes!!!!

Turkey Day Cards



Well, it's almost here!... The one day a year that makes it okay to eat until you think you can't eat any more...and then you have dessert!! In honor of that day, I made a couple "Turkey Day" cards using my new Animal Kingdom cartridge. Hope everyone has a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

Husband's Birthday Card

This is the first birthday card I have done for my husband. It was ispired by the "Ad Inspiration Challenge #38" . This was a lot of fun for me to do and he really enjoyed getting a handmade card from me.

Golf themed cards

My cousin asked me to do some golf themed cards for her to send to my nephew who is away at college on a golf scholarship. I used recycled 5 x 7 cards and envelopes I had bought on clearance somewhere and the Sports Mania cartridge for most the images.

This one I used the brown cricut marker to outline before I cut...

I used DS to size all the images the way I wanted...

Seems like this one is missing something??? I don't know....less is more for men's cards, right?!?

This one also used Plantin Schoolbook to weld the letters to the framed pic.

First-time blogging!

Ok, here we go!!! I have been meaning to set this up for a while, but things have been so hectic! I am going to try to post pictures of some of the cards I've been making recently. I just bought a Cricut Expression in May and I have NEVER scrapbooked or anything. I started making cards around Mother's Day. I have to admit I'm having fun seeing what I can create AND re-creating ideas others have posted (in my own way). I'm sure that some of the cards I will be displaying are not any new concept or anything...I mean, some of you out there have been at this for years! I have learned alot from others on their blogs so if you have any more tips for me, I'd accept them openly! Feel free to comment on my creations, but remember...I'm new at this!!!!
