1 year

My daughter asked me to make a card for her to give her boyfriend for their 1st anniversary. She specifically asked that it be "cute" and since she loves penguins so I used the create a critter penguin. It was simple but met the requirement for "cute".

weekly contest- all about the colors

Been a very busy week- barely had time to get something completed- thought I might send this on to a my friend's parents who are letting us crop in their house this weekend.

Dinomite Christmas- ornament entry

This is my entry for the Christmas ornament- beware Dawn two of these will be coming your way. One for each boy. I was so lucky to find the old fashion clear plastic ornaments that come apart down the middle. Used the cuttle bug to cut the scalloped circle- the dino is from CAC and the dino foot print is from the Dino cartridge. Hope the boys like them.

Weekly challenge cricut circle

Sometimes what you plan actually turns out just like you picture it- this is one on my times- I used K&Company paper and used the Tent card technique- the bird is from 50 states- Colorado I think- the leaves and swirls are from the Thanksgiving cartridge. I did the stitching on the machine- next time I would use a zig zag instead. I used some old velveteen paper I had for the bird- just love it because it is easy to chalk. Nestibilities for the frame and used fun foam to give it dimension.

Winner of the blog candy is????

Ok it is now day 2 of the Thanksgiving blog hop- my creation for today is a wreath I made for the donor room at work- If you read my BIO- you know I work for the American Red Cross- I am very proud of that and feel it is my duty to remind everyone to give blood if you can- this wreath will go up in the donor room to thank those who have given- which is really what Thanksgiving should be all about. It cost me at three dollars- I used a wreath form covered it in clearence ribbon then cut apart a leave swag- hot glued the leaves to the wreath and added Thanks for Giving- it is actually giving thanks from the Celebrate w/ Florish lite cart- I cut it apart to change the sentiment. Be sure to stop by eveyone on the hop- for the full list see my post from yesterday.

Well this was supposed to be giving thanks for family, friends, freedom and food-but one of my favorite things about autumn is the Fabulous Fall Foliage. This layout was made without a cricut- can you believe it- besides cricutting I love to paint and crackle finish chipboard which I did on the title for this layout. Maine truly is spectacular in the fall.




I have listed the entire hop below- many are offering some great blog candy so please stop by and don't forget to come back tomorrow for round 2.
