Birthday Layout 8x8

This is another simple 8x8 2 page birthday layout that I made. The corner presents and the XOXO sign were all cut with my cricut. Love the bit of sparkle bling!

Pumpkin Card

I had some fun making this little pumpkin "Pop Out Card". I learned this neat card fold from Mary over at Cardz TV. I used the pumpkin stamp from the Cardz TV stamp set "Fall Fun". And the papers just came from my left overs pile. I think my quick and simple card makes a cute fall/Halloween card. I used the Halloween colors as my guide from the Peachy Keen challenge from their inspiration photo color swatch.

I will be entering this card into the following challenges:

Sweet Halloween Project

This is a Halloween treat basket that I made for a table center piece for Hallloween. The container is a cut from the Cricut Cartridge Tags Bags Boxes and More that I cut using my Cricut Expression. The pumpkin cut outs are from one of my go to cartridges - Paper Doll Dress Up. I gave the vines on the pumpkins some sparkle and added a few sequines for some extra bling. The tag is from Jaded Blossom and the stamp is a Cardz TV stamp.

A Sweet Shaker Tag

So this is a cute little shaker tag that I created. The tag cut is from the cartridge Tags Bags Boxes and More. And both the scripture stamp and the cupcake stamp are from the August release at Verve Stamps. I was super excited to find these in my mail 3 days ago. So much fun to play with my new toys!

Tag You're It

Wow! I always forget how busy the start of a new school year is in Special Education. Anyways, that's my excuse for my lack of crafting this past month. But it's time to have some crafty fun once again.

What better place to start then with the new challenge # 228  Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog Tag You're It.   This is my scrapbook page incorporating a tag from Plantin SchoolBook Cartridge. The picture doesn't do the colors justice - but I was very happy with this page.

Until next time - happy scrappin!

Sequin Butterfly Sketch Card

Today's card is a clean simple Celebration Card. I embossed the white background with a cuttlebug folder. Cut the butterfly and circles out with the Graphically Speaking Cricut Cartridge, and sparkled it up with some sequins. The sketch for this card comes from the challenge at Fantabulous Cricut Blogspot.
