A dear friend lost her pet.....

so I thought I would send her a card. Her daughter just got married, and her other child, a son, just graduated from high school and will be leaving soon for college. I've lost dogs and know how much it hurts, but with all the other going on, I know she is going to miss her puppy a lot.

I say a card on the cricut discussion board an thought it would be perfect for my friend.








I used the Paper Pups and the Walk in my Garden with the boarder function. I like the way it came out.

A card for a dear lady

that has a huge hurdle ahead of her....but her faith is strong!

For Cricut Cardz Challenge #20

This week's challenge is to make a card with a beach or summer theme using any cartridge(s) or colors you'd like.

The picture doesn't do this card justice. It is so cute with a palm tree (from Paper Doll Dress-up) and happy Sun, clouds and a dog with a rubber duckie ring around his waste (Paper Pups) and I just made waves and sand. It says beach party to me!

Love card for OWH....

Cricut Cardz Challenge #19

This week's challenge is easy peasy! Anything goes! Make a card using any theme, colors or cartridge(s) you'd like.



I love the Paper Pups cartridge!
This card is:
5 1/2 x 4
pup & cat = 2 in.
heart = 1 1/2 in.
two heart brad like things ( used big bite )
ribbon (with Mary's faux tied on bow )
mat 5 1/4 X 3 3/4 ran thru cuttle bug (swirl)
stripped mat 1 1/2 x 3 3/4
Sentiment: "The task ahead of us
is never as great as
the power behind us." (from clear stamp set I bought @ Michael's--love this quote!)
photo corners (new Martha Stewart punch I got @ Michael's)

I didn't write this down as I did it-so may not be exact sizes.

I cut 8 in one day and put them together the next day. Lots of layering and took a lot of time--going to try and find one that's easier! So I can make them faster and send more! Hope our soldiers like them!

My first cards for OWH....

I will be praying over them before I send them out. I will also send a 'Dear Hero' card also.

If anyone is interested, please see click on Operation Write Home.

My card has a beige mat 5.25 x 4 and the bottom pattern mat is 5.25 x 1.5

The 'hugging' pup is from the Cricut cartridge Paper Pups
and the sentiment is from the same cartridge.

The dog is cut at 3" and the hug? at 2".

I made 4 of these.

I also have decided to make 2 of each card I make and send one to the OWH. It is almost as easy to make two as it is to make one.....let's make sure they have plenty of cards!!! They don't have Hallmark's on every corner!!!!

Cricut Cardz Challenge #16.....

This week's challenge is to make a card for Spring using flowers, birds or butterflies from any cartridge(s) and using any colors you'd like. (Go here.)


Spring is in the Air! And so is a butterfly--flittering around....getting the attention of a puppy!

I got my new cartridge Paper Pups! I love this cart and have since my friend Mary at Cardz TV used it in a few cards...just had to have it....also got Doodlecharms and Graphically Speaking (which I used to make the shoe card--weird) and now I have won the Easter 2010 cartridge (it's the mini-cart--but almost ordered it and figured 3 cart this month was enough and then Mary show the new (on HSN only--I think) Straight from the Nest---soooo cute!!!

If you don't know Mary, press here and enjoy!!!!
