Hello love

I love Hello Kitty! She is so cute! It's a cool, rainy day, a good one for staying inside to work on my Valentines. I used the Hello Kitty Greetings cart for the main image and Doodlecharms for the little hearts. Enjoy! :) Maria

Cupid

This card started out as a good luck card for Juliette who is playing a cupid in a ballet production over Valentine's weekend. She didn't think it looked much like the costume (and I agreed!), so it turned into a pretty Valentine card. I used the Celebrate With Flourish cart and lots of embellishments, flowers, stickles, ribbon, pearls, a doily and a button. Enjoy. :) Maria

Broadway!

Monday night we came home from school and Juliette informed me it was her BFFs birthday that day! She had forgotten and wanted to make a card for her to take to school the next day. Her friend loves to sing and act and it's her dream to be on Broadway some day. She wanted to do a Broadway theme but had lots of homework so I made this card for her to give to her friend. I used the Slumber Party Cricut cart for the microphone and then Gypsy Font for the writing. I had to do some welding with the Gypsy and that's always a struggle, but after many tries, I finally did it! I used diamond stickles on the microphone and a star gem for the dot on the "i". :) maria

Butterflies

I made this set of cards as a gift for my Grandmother. She likes butterflies and the color purple so I thought these would be perfect for her! I used Once Upon a Princess for the butterfly image and a Martha Stewart punch for the borders. :) Maria

Valentine treats

Today has been the best day! I've had the entire day to craft! Juliette helped me make some valentine treat bags for her ballet friends. They are all dancing in a show Valentine's weekend and I know there will be no time to craft close to the time so thankfully we got it all done today! Juliette stamped and embossed and did some of the folding. I did all the cutting and the rest of the folding and assembly. We needed 11 but made 14 just in case we need extras. They are all different, some are stamped and embossed with ballet shoes, Happy Valentine's Day, or hearts. Others have cut out hearts (Doodlecharms) and a flower punch. I cut the heart purse using the Tags, Bags, Boxes and More Cricut cartridge. :) Maria and Juliette

blue bird

I made this fun little card for my mom. I love the soft blues and whites. The inside says Thinking of You. Once I finished it looked sort of like a wedding card, maybe if there were two birds! In any case, my mom is still getting it. :) Maria

Bitten by the Bug 2- bird or armadillo. I don't have Birthday Bash so I used Gypsy Wanderings for the bird image.

Relax, enjoy

I am attending a retirement party today for an aunt who has recently retired after working for many years at a bank. She loves to play the guitar and sing in her spare time so I thought this image was perfect for her! I used the guitar from Slumber Party, the relax and enjoy from Life's a Beach and the music notes from Gypsy Wanderings. :) Maria

Manicure

A week or so ago my awesome aunt, who manages a spa and salon, treated J and me to a manicure! We wanted to thank her right away so I made this card to send to let her know how much we appreciated her kindness! It was so nice to be spoiled at the salon! :) Maria

Happy New Year, Happy Birthday!

Wow, it's been a while since I've posted! I have been soooo busy, J was in the Nutcracker so the month of December was super crazy!!! Now, both kids are back in school and I finally have a minute to post. I actually got a chance to craft a little bit but mostly Xmas stuff. My brother had a special birthday the other day, 1/11/11, and I'm a bit late mailing his card but I hope he likes it when it arrives! Maria
