Invitations for the 7th Annual Mother...

Invitations for the 7th Annual Mother’s Birthday Luncheon!
Invitations sent!  This year’s theme was polka dots (I LOVE polka dots!) & roses. Once again, I made the stickers for the envelope flaps to match the invitations (lower right in the photo below).  I’ve been making cards since 1996 and this is the first time I’ve ever lined the envelopes.  I got the idea from a Cricut page on [...]

My Mother’s birthday luncheon 2014
As some of you know, my mother passed away in 2012 a couple of months shy of her 95th birthday.

However, you still don’t get the look & feel of the shiny, gol [...]

Graduation card – Arizona State...

Graduation card – Arizona State!
A friend’s son graduated from Arizona State this year. Here’s the card I made for him, using the ASU colors (go Sun Devils!) This was the first time using the pen option on the Cricut Explore & I only used it for the “Nice Hat!” sentiment on the front. And, I did this at the last minute, so didn’t note al [...]

Belated Birthday card for my sister

Belated Birthday card for my sister
This card took two or three pages (I forget) of Close To My Heart Skylark paper.  It’s not one of my favorites, but I had a few of them & since I thought my sister may like it, I didn’t mind using the two (or three, I forget) sheets necessary to make this card.  I do think it turned out quite nice. I also used two [...]
