Baby shower elephant banner

Here is a banner I made for a friend.  The theme is pink elephants.  With a 6 month old, I have very little time at my paper crafting table so I needed to do something simple.  This isn't as simple as I planned but I was able to finish it in time. I used the New Arrival cart for my Cricut.

Mojo 143 and other cards

I'm in the middle of a few hours of scrapping time. Woo Hoo. I am so slow! In 4 hours I have made 3 cards and scrapped one scrapbook LO-a single paged layout. The LO isn't even worthy of posting but here are three of my cards. The first is from Mojo Monday. The apple stamp is from Stampin Up and the paper is DCWV Sweet Stack.

For this next card I used the "Just Because Cards" cart for the Cricut. The paper is from last year's DCWV Summer Stack.

Baby Album

Here's the album I made for Nichole's baby. I used DCWV Nana's Nursery paper stack. Most of the die cuts are from the New Arrival cart for the Cricut.

Baby Invites

This is the invitation to my "baby" sister's baby shower. I used the Design Studio for the Cricut with the New Arrival cartridge.

Paper Flowers

My mil is in the ICU. She can't have flowers so I made her a pot of paper flowers. This is my first attempt and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I used the George cartridge on the Cricut and the paper is from an old DCWV Spring Stack.

Christmas countdown calendar

Two years ago (or maybe it was last year-I have a terrible memory for this kind of thing) I participated in a Christmas countdown calendar swap on the Cricut messageboards. 25 of us each got one number, made 25 of the same thing and ended up with 25 pieces for a calendar. I can't find the original thread on the message boards because it is too old.

I love our calendar and wanted to do one on my own. Who to give it to? I wanted it to go to someone I know would appreciate it. Now, I don't need accolades for my work but when I work on something this time consuming, I want to know the recipient isn't going to just toss it out next year. I gave this calendar to Ellie and Angel today.

Many of the pieces were directly inspired or copied from our own calendar so I will not say every piece is my own idea. I took pictures of a couple of my favorite pieces too.

I would love to make more of these. I love doing Christmas themes! So fun.

Card SWAP

Here are two cards I made for a card SWAP I'm doing.


I saw this paper at Jo-Ann's and fell in love. There is just something so sweet about it. I used the New Arrival cart for my Cricut for the baby/Sweet Pea cut out. The congatulations is a stamp I've had in my stash for quite awhile.


I have had this clown stamp for a long time-I'm thinking maybe 15 years. The label says it is a Stamp Oasis Bergsma stamp. I just used markers to color him in.

Birthday Lo

This is a LO I did for a Swap I am hosting. I will be making the elements for the SWAP-obviously the pictures are mine. :-)
