Laughing Lola birthday card & blog hop!!!
So I needed to make something for my very first blog hop!  The CTMH (Close To My Heart) Obsessed Scrappers blog hop included the challenge to select a sketch from one of two sites & use it as the inspiration.  I chose sketch #95. There are several cards I need to make, but I didn’t want it to be a card for someone who might see it o [...]

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. In an effort to not be sad on that day, I decided to start a new tradition of having a girls luncheon celebrating my mother’s birthday every year. I do it up all girly, use my wedding china & crystal & we have a great time. Since this [...]

The photo above doesn’t do the front of the card justice because you can’t see the shimmery paper, embossing or glitter paper. So below is a scan that shows those details. However, you still don’t get the look & feel of the shiny, gol [...]

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
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 [...]

Tissue box covers & rolled/quill...

I like these as small gifts.  Something you can give someone & they won’t feel obligated to give something in return.  Plus, it’s something if they don’t like, they can always re-gift it. This is the most recent one.  The flower on the front is the first rolled/quilled flower, I’ve done.  They look a bit complicate [...]
