My First Design Studio Project

This is my first try at using Design Studio.  I've learned a ton since then (2 days ago!) and I have another project in the works I will be very excited to share with you all when I get it done.  Bitten by the Bug 2 has a challenge using an apron from From My Kitchen.  I love that cartridge and am thrilled for a chance to play with it.  I used my Scrappy Moms Stamp for the sentiment and MS glitter on the "lace" of the apron.  I am excited to be able to make shaped cards now!

Fun Froggie Card

I had such a fun time making this card for my sister's bday.  I finally gave it to her yesterday, so now I can post it!  She's always liked frogs, so I thought this one from Paisley was perfect.  She is a fellow cricut-er, so she can appreciate it! :)  She is one of my favorite people in the world.  I freehanded the lily pad and glittered some stamped (with gluepad) flourishes in the background.

Flamingo Card

This is for the Bitten by the Bug 2 Challenge to use a flamingo off of Life is a Beach in any color other than pink. I never would have thought to cut out a blue/multi-colored flamingo, but I think it turned out way cute! I also used the photo card feature for the card base. The sentiment "Thinking of You & Smiling" is from Sweet n Sassy stamps. Hope you like it!

Fabulous Sophistication

I love the Summer in Paris cartridge. The shoe was perfect with the sentiment from Scrappy Moms Stamps. I used my glue stamp pad to use glitter on the flourishes (Autumn Leaves) in the background. The great shaped card is off of A Child's Year. Hope you have a fabulous day!

Lots of Purses from TBBM!!

I made bunches of these little purses from TBBM with 2-sided papers (mostly Amy Butler) and put some Hershey's treasures inside as favors for a brunch last Saturday. I think the ladies enjoyed them! I always try to do something that makes women feel a bit pampered...I think that's sooo important...after all we are daughters of the King! :)

Simple Layout

I made this super simple layout following a Srapbooks, Etc. sketch. Cuttlebugging the circular pieces and inking them gives added texture. The journaling box is a Teresa Collins stamp. I am submitting this to the Lasting Memories LO Challenge blog. Simple is truly my scrapbook style!

Cards of Appreciation

I am trying to do a good job of remembering to appreciate all of the amazing volunteers at my church. Here are a couple of cards that will help me do that. My goal is to be diligent to send at least one (maybe two) cards each week...So far the recipients have loved them. Everyone likes to be appreciated! The lamb is from Animal Kingdom and that is the tree I love off of Serenade.
