Happy Birthday Girly Card

I was looking on another blog.. it was Creations with Christina and viewed a card that looked like this. I Loved the idea so much that I wanted to make it. Of course I had to add my own flair to it and this is what I came up with.

To make this card this is what you need:

A Child's Year Cartridge (page 73)
Black Cardstock
Blue Cardstock
White Cardstock
Light Brown Cardstock 
Happy Birthday Ribbon from Martha Stewart
Happy Birthday Stamp
Blue Gem for the dress
Martha Stewart Punch, Not sure of the name, sorry!
Pop Dots
Adhesive

How to make:

Your finished card size will be 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
The Light Blue Mat size is 4" x 5 1/4"
The Patterned Paper Mat size is 3 3/4" x 5"
The Light Blue Mat size on the bottom is 1 1/2" x 3 3/4"
The Loop Punch Paper size is 1 1/4" x 3 3/4"
The Happy Birthday Stamp Mat is cut to fit.
It's approx. 1 1/2" x 1 1/4"
I cut out the doll in the dress at size 3 3/4" in the Blue Cardstock
Then I cut out the doll again using the Shadow Feature in 3 3/4" in White Cardstock.
Use the Light Brown Cardstock and adhere it to the back of the Blue dress where the bows are punched out by the cricut.
See picture.
Use Pop Dots for the Doll in the Dress
Add Happy Birthday Ribbon and Blue Gem for the Dress

Halloween Treat Bags.. CUTE!!!


Today has been very busy for me. I wanted to make a few cards but did not get a chance to. I was out getting my 11 year old son Casey's halloween costume. Anyhow, I was thinking about what type of treat bags I was going to make for Casey and my 9 year old daughter Hallie's school class.  Every holiday I always make treat bags but wanted something a little different and cuter.
I came up with this. I used Martha Stewarts Drippy Goo punch for the edge of this tag that says Happy Halloween. 
 I thought they turned out really cute. Now I only have to make 60 more..lol. I hope this gave you some idea on how you want to make your child's treat bags. Maybe you don't have kids and you just want to make goodie bags to pass out on halloween. This would be adorable. Oh, the little clear bags I got at Walmart. They were so cheap, only $2.00 for 100 of them..I think it is 100. Anyhow, they are super cheap but there is so much you can do with them. I would LOVE to see your finished treat bags. Leave me a comment and tell me where I can go to see them and I will leave you a comment back.
Thank you for looking and come back soon.

Boy Did I Hit The Jackpot Today... WOW!!!

Today I was out and about and I decided to stop at Big Lots. I have not been there in years. So I go in and first stop at the halloween candy, which I needed. So I got alot of candy, little toys for all the trick or treaters. Then I went to the scrapbook isle and man..there were soooooo many great deals. I am talking Martha Stewart ribbon for $1.00..most of them were only $.50 so I got them ALL. I spent $30.00 on scrapbooking/card supplies and I got about 38 rolls of ribbon. Not all of them are Martha Stewart, just a few of them are. But still.. what a great deal. Then I looked at the paper and cardstock. They were so cheap and I plan on going back again soon. Here is 2 pictures of my loot. Oh, and I got 4 fiber yarn rolls for $1.00 each. What a crazy deal. I would run, run and run to your local Big Lots to see what they have. I even got some alphabet stamps, a glitter patterned paper stack, 12 x 12 paper stack and another 12 x 12 blue paper stack, some embellishments and more. Anyhow, just wanted to share.  Thanks for looking! Come back soon. I add something each and every day.

Lady Bug Lady Bug Card

Here is a little Lady Bug Lady Bug card that I just made using the
Nursery Rhymes cartridge. 

If you want to make this card this is what you need:

Your finished card size will be 4 1/4" x 5 1/2"
***(Tip: If you take an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock and cut down the middle you will have enough for 2 cards. Another tip, I always score my papers before I cut and that way I know for certain that it is perfectly straight)***
Nursery Rhymes Cartridge
Red Cardstock
Black Cardstock
Polka Dotted Paper (this is DCWV La Creme Pack)
Ribbon, this Lady Bug ribbon I have had in my stash forever.. I am sorry that I cannot tell you where to buy it.
Adhesive
Zots

How to make:

Cut out your little Lady Bug Fairy's at 2 1/2"
Cut out the Lady Bug Fairy's in the
Base Shadow Blackout Feature at 2 1/2"
Cut out the "Lady Bug Lady Bug" Phrase using the
 Phrase Feature at 1 1/2"
Then cut out the same phrase in the
Phrase Shadow Blackout feature at 1 1/2"
Adhere the ribbon, tie a bow and use Zots to adhere it to the card. I always use a couple to make sure it will stay put.

Nursery Rhymes Cricut Cartridge

I cut the cow off of the moon because I did not need that part. I chalked the edges of the moon with black chalk and a gray shimmery from Pebbles
