New Baby Shadow-box Gift

Finally got the pics I needed to complete a new-baby gift for a friend at work. this pic is actually the layout page that I've put into a shadowbox. I have to try and get a better pic of the shadowbox because there was too much glare from the glass - but it was a lot of fun making this. I used my elegant edges cartridge and fabulous finds to make the frames and background for the pics. a few little embellishments and for the truck and train pics I cut the images from a paperstack I got years ago at Michaels. Mounted all on pop dots for a 3-d effect.

Simple Birthday card...

A Happy Birthday to my cousin Pam, unfortunately she now has to share her birthday with that nightmare of 9/11, 10 years ago today

Thanks to Mary @ CardzTV

A long overdue note of thanks to Mary @ CardzTV...

I used the Cricut Lite Hoot n Holler Cartridge - first time using a lite cartridge, must admit, a little hard at first trying to figure out which button was the owl I wanted to use. But I like how it came out. baby steps, right?

Happy Birthday Mels

It was my sister-in-laws birthday so I created this card for her. Picked up the ribbons @ Michaels, paper by DCWV - Nana's Kids and used Cuttlebug Swiss Dots. Stamped the "Happy Birthday" sentiment inside (but forgot to take a picture of it)

Taking CardzTV card design one step further

Hey everyone, just like we did for Mother's Day, we honored all the Dad's at work by creating a bulletin board with their favorite pics.  I used the elegant simplicity of Mary's Mother's Day card design and adapted it for our project.  See how they came out. (BTW - some of the mom's liked the dad's cards better - oh well, what can I say - the more I craft, the better I"m getting l LOL!
