2X in one night????

So I just remembered I've crafted these 2 birthday cards for a very dear friend and her daughter and wanted to share these as well as the Halloween cards I just posted!  Both were really fun to make, I got to use my Cindy Loo cartridge again, this is a really diverse cartridge and I just love using it to create more mature, intricate cards.  I hope you enjoy these projects.  The little girl bday card was created using Rock Princess, quickly becoming my second fave cart!!!  I added some extra bling for the bday girl :-)  As always, please email me for any details on either card.

OOh here is another card that I created for a very dear friends baby shower, I just fell in love with this color scheme and paper (patterned paper by SEI zoo pals!! animals cut from Create a Critter cart) Enjoy, be safe, and happy scrapping/card making/living :-)

Halloween Quickie

Hi All!

It's been awhile since I've had the opportunity to upload some projects, so here I go... I've been crafting up these cards in the last few weeks and wanted to share.  I hope you enjoy :-) Please email me if you are would like the details of anything you see below.  I'm excited to send these out and spread some spooky holiday cheer!

HOLY COW!!! People are checking out my blog???

First I want to THANK, the three lovely ladies that were kind enough to check out my blog and make such encouraging and nice comments on the few projects I have posted.  It truly made my night to see that after only a mere 3 entries and 3 posted projects that someone actually cared enough to migrate over and check out my lonely little blog.  I was ecstatic and couldn't wait to write and give a huge THANKS!! to you ladies!

I finally have some time and wanted to upload another couple of projects that I'm proud of...I will have to formulate the recipes tonight and post them for you soon.  The first project is a retirement card I made for a co-worker, the second is some scrap layouts for a book I'm composing for an old college friend, the third is a congrats card made for expecting friends (here you can see my novice stamp use, I'm still learning!!), fourth is a bday card for one of my dearest friends (gave me a chance to use the Cindy Loo cartridge I picked up a month ago), and last but not least is a prototype of the Save the Date I'm making for my sister's upcoming wedding!!!  I'm super excited about all of these projects and hope you enjoy checking them out.  I'm also posting a pic of the dress my sister just picked out today...I'm so happy for her and am so thrilled she wants me to help out with her special day, not just by being her maid of honor, but also by being crafty with her save the dates!!!!

I did want to share one more little bit of info I found out this past weekend while shopping for some holiday Cricut cartridges....so I was at a major chain retailer (wish I could post the name but not sure of copyrights...let's just say it is a girls name??) and I wanted to buy the Winter Frolic cartridge but it was not on sale...hmmm...I had seen this cartridge on Walmart.com for only 24.98!  I happened down an aisle with an associate and was relaying this information to her when she informed me that they have a price match guarantee and that if I could call it up on my phone or show a printed proof they would sell me the cartridge at the same price....not too shabby!!!  Needless to say I left with 2 cartridges for their sale price for 1 cartridge!!!  Moral of the story:  ask about price guarantees b/w competitors and then check online for the best price (think this most likely excludes non-chain major retailers though) and see if they'll match it??? Worst case scenario is you leave with 2 for the price of one...hehehe!!!
