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!

I LUV making cards with my cricut.....

Yesterday I spent all day making 4 cards for OWH (operation write home!) I used the Wild Card cartridge and the Doily card.

I don't think I will put the fancy flowers and big bow and ribbon on all of them.

The one in the center has two smaller ribbons together with a small bow--I like it!

I'm going to write a personal note across from the 'God Bless America'.

This will probably be a grandma Mother's day card or for my mom. You can't tell, but I used the Cuttlebug and embossed both the inside and outside round mats. Looks really pretty--copied this from my dear friend Mary at Cardz TV. She's been ill and I continue to pray for her health.

I started making Christmas tags so I won't be stressed at the last minute. I just got Joy of the Season cartridge and made these really quick! I'll use a "To and From" stamp or just a white pen to write on the back. I can't remember what size I used for these, but think I'll make them just a little bigger.

Baby shower..........

The blanket got done!!!


And then it was time to make the cards.



I used the peachy keen stamp for the face.


I forgot to take pictures of the tie die onsies Laura made--they were so cute.

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.

I'm so busy!!!!!

I'm crocheting a baby blanket!!! I found out Saturday that we are invited to a baby shower next Saturday--and I hate buying blankets when I can make them and pray over them....but I do need to make cards for the shower too--so I'll show them and the blanket when I get it done!

Dear daughter is going to and she is going to tye-dye a onsie! That should be darling (one of the baby-cards will be from her!)

Must get to hooking (oh--you know what I mean!!!)

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!
